Professional repair and replacement of damaged or failing lintels above windows and external openings.
SPECIALIST WINDOW LINTEL REPAIR SERVICES
Expert Structural Support Where You Need It Most
Not every crack above a window means major work is needed but, it is usually worth finding out what’s causing it. We’ve visited properties where a small hairline crack had been there for years without changing and others where the movement had gradually become worse over time.
A lot depends on the condition of the support above the opening. Older lintels can weaken as buildings age and, when that happens, the brickwork above may start showing signs of movement. Sometimes the issue is obvious, while on other occasions it only becomes apparent once the area has been inspected more closely.
Where repairs are needed, the work can range from replacing the existing support to rebuilding sections of affected brickwork around the window. The right approach will vary from property to property, which is why there is rarely a one-size-fits-all answer.
If you’re unsure whether a crack is cosmetic or something more significant, it often helps to have it looked at before deciding what, if anything, needs to be done.
