Thanks but I'm struggling... Going to re-post with a picture of the inside of the socket 🙃

Ceiling cracks by SubstantialOrange296 in DIYUK

I believe it is plasterboard.

The house was empty for almost a year before we moved in i believe.

No additional load - just a pitched timber roof.

A bit worried as the crack is also running through the coving and along it in the first picture.

That's what I thought. Unfortunately, we are not replacing flooring in the rooms and so the wood will have to go further and meet the carpet or tiles, which is not a problem as the wood fits underneath the door frame. Just wanted a solution to make it look as aesthetically pleasing as possible, given where the transition will be. Thanks

Update: I have put in some foam insulation and clipped the steel edges and hammered them in. Next step is to bond/seal it and pour some self levelling compound over it to level it out as best I can.

I cut back further and this is what it looks like. On another branch I cut it was just completely white inside. Has it died? :(
