Hi building experts!
I've just stripped the plaster from the walls of my 1927 kitchen/diner to expose the brickwork, its exposed a lintel that's above my patio doors - the house has been standing since 1927 and so at first I wasn't too concerned about the cracks visible down the length of the lintel but thought I ought to just check before proceeding any further.
I was considering perhaps some screwable rods that height of the lintel that I could screw up and into it to give it some support?
What do you think?
