Oops garage doorway damaged.

[Tony Tydeman]

Had a little mishap, low-speed impact with the garage opening. Was going to silicon the cracks.
Does anyone know the best way to rectify, please?

Do you have any big G type clamps. If so use 2 lengths of wood ( one each side ) and clampit so that the bricks are pulled back into line.
Then seal it.

Worth a try, but I would rake out where the mortar has cracked, and repoint. Once that is fully set-up, it would be worth seeing if you can replace the two broken bricks, in the second photo with new/used ones.

Looks as though 7 courses of bricks have been dislodged. Hopefully the post #2 method can rotate those back into position.

It's shifted off the DPC. It needs re-building, really.

Thanks for the replies, guys. May try some wood and a sledgehammer first. G-Clamps are a good idea too.
