Hopefully getting to the bottom of this will help to provide you with tips to avoid this issue in the future. Conversely, using a heavy hand to apply paint that may be too thick can lead to what is known as ‘mud cracks’. When temperatures abruptly rise in the sultry summer months, this can cause an uneven expansion of the paint's top layers when compared to those underneath it, resulting in cracking and flaking over time.

If you’re not sure you can tackle this yourself, reach out to a painting professional you can trust.It may be a broken DPC, leaking gutter or just poor ventilation, but the potential problems include adhesion failure, blistering, flaking, promotion of moulds and staining.

I’ve used it everywhere after stripping off ancient wallpaper, and it’s great not only for disguising fine cracks but covering up stains and uneven/peeling paintwork beneath.Eventually, the paint will curl and flake onto the floor (like in the picture below), so if you’re seeing pieces of your wall or ceiling littering the ground, that’s a sign that your building is suffering from paint failure.
