Lintel

[VMars]

I have just noticed this on the lintel, like a small bit is bowed up.

I don’t know if it could be caused by when they were doing some repointing near it or something else.At the bottom of the header bricks if you see what I mean.

Is it a problem?

No problem, was it actually always there and you're only noticing now?

 

[VMars]

I am not too sure tbf, only been here a few months so possibly

It's alright, lintels are supposed to push up.

Right, so it is a problem then?

They sometimes get knocked on site before they are installed. It's only minor damage.

Ok, so would you say it is not likely to cause any issues/require replacement at this time?

Thank you

Looks like it's fine to me.

You could bend it straight with an adjustable spanner but risk damaging the galvanising, I'd just leave it.
