    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! They can't however...

    So if that's the case with the brickwork should the installers have put the new window in? Also installed hasn't mentioned anything with regard to the brickwork even so they have worked on It etc? I'll look into a structural engineer and costs involved as this needs sorting sooner than later.

    Thank you for a Kind comment. It's been so stressful to try and get someone to listen or even understand what I mean (the company only address the moved brick work not the fact of all I've mentioned above) The ground floor bay is solid and the window is actually fixed onto the solid brick. No...

    Brick work is single brick. The window fitter built a wooden frame between brickwork and internal panelling and fitted window to that. Surely if brick work had of been bad it should have been brought to attention upon installation? No cracks internally or on any external wall was...

    Cracks and movement since upvc installation

    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...
