Cracks Above Windows, Failed Lintels & Structural Brickwork Repairs

Bolton has a mixture of traditional stone-built houses, Victorian terraces, older brick properties and modern housing estates.

In some of these buildings, the original lintels have been in place for many decades. Although many remain perfectly sound, others can develop problems as materials age or moisture affects the existing support.

Cracks running diagonally from window corners, loose bricks or visible movement above an opening are all reasons to have the area examined.

Our work includes removing failed lintels, fitting suitable replacements and repairing the surrounding masonry where damage has occurred.

We also undertake structural alterations when homeowners want to change the size or arrangement of an existing window opening.

Every repair starts with looking at how the wall is constructed and what support is already present. This allows us to plan the work properly and avoid unnecessary disturbance to the surrounding building.
