How To Fix Cracks In Drywall On Stairs
I have a small crack (approx. 3mm wide) in the drywall just above the skirting running all the way along the stairs. The crack is caused by the stairs moving as it is a relatively new house. I have fixed a couple of times with polyfilla, but after a short while the crack reappears, what is the best way to fix the cracking permanently.
Thank you

If it's movement, I'd be more interested in investigating that. There's always a certain amount of deflection in timber structures such as floors and stairs, but this seems excessive.
Where is the skirting? Is it along the landing... or running up the stairs?
