Is this normal

[BarryW2002]

Hi. Just had a new sunroom built using plasterboard. Gaps were taped and filled c.3 weeks ago but there are a number of hairline cracks already appearing along joins of boards. I'm looking for advice whether this is normal or not or whether plasterer should be called back to repair. Thanks in advance

Looks like a poor show to me.

Give him a call and say you want it sorted out.

Ahh the finger point to the problem looks as if board not secure behind for it to crack that much

Theres always constant movement in sunrooms and conservatories due to thermal expansion.
If theres a massive temperature swing like in a southfacing conservatory boards will expand/contract (dont rember the exact figures) but they can move by something like an 1/8th of an inch over 15m2.
Obviously too much movement and the crack shows through the finish.
Joint compounds less prone to cracking id of used paper tape though.

It's taped so I'd imagine it was paper tape

There is too much joint cement in the internal. Fold over a piece of sandpaper and rub into the crack until it disappears.
