Hi, I bought a property in June. There is a problem with the left hand side, end corner, garage wall. It is a single garage, standalone, single skin, brick built 1960ish.
At the corner pier, i have seen the wall flare out at the top, since i bought it 6 months ago. The picture is a couple months old and the gap has worsened. There are no visible cracks (inside or out), it hasnt separated at the bottom (inside or out), it hasnt affected the other sides/corners of the garage. The door and frame are sound, with no wet or swelling. The roof is sound too. I have now removed the brackets from the downpipe. It just flares out at the top and appears to be getting worse.
Any ideas or answers would be gratefully received.
