Old house changing windows

Hi there.

An area of the house siding at my 8-year old house is bulged. It only happens in this one area. I've observed it since I began residing in this house 5 years ago after my retirement. The bulge form remains the same throughout the year.

There is a house right next to my own, so I think the possibility of any big wind reaching that walls is fairly small enough. Does anyone know if it's a big cope, and if I should get it fixed? Can I set up down pipe joints over the house siding (screwing through it), or should I fix the house siding first? Or getting services from American Choice is a good idea?

Thanks in advance!

Rey

    This is a UK based forum. Maybe best to get a Structural surveyor to see what the issue is.

    Yes, and quickly by the sound of it.
  • If you have extra money then you can get any services from companies. Rest assured that their doing the right thing than fixing those things by yourself.
