That's great info thank you.
We have to wait until spring time as the weather needs to be good for a few days to sort it.
At first they were just bodging it.....ive persevered and been at them so I'm hoping that's still the plan when they come to do it.
They have told me today they will put...
Exactly this. The Brickwork as a whole moved away from the actual window installed.
It's still at an angle and they were going to pull the brickwork back in and secure with wall brackets!
They've have come this morning and said they will need to replace the brickwork!

No cracks internally or on any external wall was...

The copper piping is my main...
It's worrying me if I'm honest. Something isn't right and it's only come about since installation and the whole brick of the bay moving as a whole. It now has metal wall brackets in so can't move but the balance has been upset and while I'm no expert in building/windows I know how moving...
Ok so July this year we replaced 2 original bay windows and the top floor arch window. (Arch window is fine)
The windows that we had replaced were original box sash windows.
The property is 3 floors high and each window is above and below each other. So arch been the top and the bays been the 2...
