Hi everyone,
Just tidying up a rough opening where I need to fit some bifold doors where an old window used to be. Some of the bricks were missing from when previous occupants placed window and going to replace the bricks and repoint pillar before running up with stihl saw so there is a decent fixing for bifolds.
Long story short. When brickie put in the two small steels he initially missed stuff and had to take them out and refit. In doing so he hasn't put the padstones in plumb, particularly the right one is on the wonk a bit. It's also got dry packing above cause he only left it with some slate packing up a fair few gaps so I filled in the void to be on safe side.
Now I'm coming to tidy up the rough opening a bit, would anyone take out the padstones and put them in plumb and fully bearing steels or do you think it's overkill and just leave alone?
Cheers again for advice
