Hi,
We bought the house a few years ago. It was built in the early 70s and a 2 story extension was added in the 80s. The gable end of the extension is joined to nextdoors garage (shared wall) and the upper gable end is built above. I have only recently noticed this crack when I had to get on the garage roof to alter the ariel but it could have been there for years.
The crack starts 2 bricks above the garage roof and is about 5ft long. It seems strange that the building would move this way. Sun is on that wall
Most of the day.
I was going to get peoples thoughts on what might have caused the cracks and how best to fix it? I was thinking about grinding away the cracked mortar and just repointing?
