We are in the process of buying a 1950's detach bungalow. There is an issue which I have noticed in the loft. There are 4 brick built hangers supporting the purlin. One of them is cracked. See first picture. I would like to get some info about how easy it is to fix and whether this is a major structural issue.
One side of the gable, there seems so be no lintel in a upvc door and window and there are vertical cracks running to the top of the door. Light can be seen in the first picture in the loft where the mortar joint are. Could anyone give a ballpark figure of the cost to install two lintels, 1 above door and one above a window and to remove and rebed the bricks with cracked mortar joint. Thank you
