Hi everyone,
This is a semi-detached house from 2010, everything was built by the developer and their professional tradespeople, so no amateur work involved. The floors are tiled with 60x60 cm (24x24 inch) tiles.
Now, there is a (stress?) crack across three tiles right in the middle of the living room.
Can you share your collective knowledge and give me some advice?
Is this something that any insurance would cover?
Should this be repaired (to protect the building structure)? If yes, how?
Is it necessary to investigate the cause?
Photos attached.
(Sorry, I didn’t bother cleaning before taking the pictures 🙂 )
Thanks in advance and Merry Christmas to all!

First, check with the builder or supplier. There might be poor workmanship involved, which would then be a case for an expert assessor. 1.) The builder is unlikely to admit that any construction work under their responsibility was done poorly.
2.) Note my advice: The warranty expired after 5 years. At this point, it is pointless to try to get in touch with the site manager from back then.
3.) Correct, this is a classic case for an expert assessor. In fact, a certified specialist in flooring responded to you about 50 minutes ago!
That should leave no questions unanswered...

PS: The tiler sold his business about 4 years ago and is now focusing on his family.
I believe the developers are retired by now as well 😉
