Because? Doors have lintels over them and aren't structural in themselves, so that shouldn't happen.Scythi said:Had a builder check it today.
He said it would have happened when we had the front door replaced and its nothing to worry about.I know houses often had structural window frames. When people replace windows with uPVC and don't have the right people in, they don't put new lintels in and and so you get a sagging because the weight over the opening isn't supported correctly. That's usually continuous though. Brickwork doesn't drop in the space of a few hours changing a door.We haven't seen a photo though, so 🤷♀️.Everything that is supposed to be in heaven is already here on earth.
