Utility room door repair

FTB here. We got the keys at the weekend. The property has been vacant for about 2 months and we noticed some wet walls in the utility room. It looks like the external door to the utility isn't very well "fitted" (don't know the technical term). On the outside the "lip" at the top of the door is coming away from the brickwork. I'm wondering if this is causing the damp/wet wall issues inside. Who should I approach to take a look at this?!

    My biggest fear!!! I wish I'd taken a picture, I'll take one next time I'm there and post here.

    A joiner/carpenter will be able to assess the issue for you and suggest how it might be fixed, although the answer is likely to be a new frame and door.
    The comments I post are my personal opinion. While I try to check everything is correct before posting, I can and do make mistakes, so always try to check official information sources before relying on my posts.
