Hi there,
Moved into a 1940s property 2 years ago. Survey said there was some cracking evident that appeared to be due to defective lintel.
We have now got round to getting this fixed but one builder is telling me it's indeed the lintel and another doesn't think it is and could be no longer active subsidence or ongoing (I am unsure if cracking is worse).
Do I need to worry about the stepped cracking to the right of the window/lintel or the horizontal cracking to the left of the window as seen in the photos?
The cement looks a bit in bad shape regardless and poss in need of repointing but the stepped crack a foot to the right of the window and the continuous horizontal cracking to the left is concerning me. Is this the lintel or something more serious?
