So our new house has an issue with some minor cracks above some upstairs windows, they range from hair line to 3-4mm at max. Several builders have looked, one suggest stictching the brick work and another resin injection with both saying that to finish with overboarding. However.... I am...

Always keen to have a go and see where it leads i began seeking the source of the cracks... The wife is NOT happy ... apparently days off are for rest not demolition.

So some progress... Before... Some cleaning (by someone else) later... And the gardeners begun to put a dent in our overgrown but well stocked garden.
