This garage/shed was built about 15 years ago. The crack appeared shortly afterwards and as far as I can tell hasn't changed since.

It is just used for storage etvc.

I'm currently at the stage where I need to spend money to repair roof so want to know best way to handle this. Do you think it is ok to patch it somehow? What would be the best way to do this?

Something more subtle than dynamite. A big sledge hammer or an excavator would do it. Give it a decent funeral.

PS. That’s not a crack, it’s the poor or zero foundations subsiding.
 
I feel for you esp if you personally commissioned it and you've also got a roof job to do - I know that one! given the price of materials and depending on how much time you have on your hands, is it worth disassembling it (not necessarily with TNT etc) de-mortaring the blocks, make an appropriate base then rebuild it from the salvage stuff I wonder. Anyone know what the economics would be?
