stuart45 said:Probably when the timber windows were replaced with plastic.And just as importantly, failed to fit a lintel to support the outer leaf of brickwork.A lintel can be installed, but it won't be particularly cheap and is not going to be a quick job. Fortunately, there appears to be some self corbelling (as evidenced by the stepped crack & repointing), so not a priority job. Have a look at the other windows & doors to see if they are also suffering from the same problem.
Any language construct that forces such insanity in this case should be abandoned without regrets. –

If you've just bought the house, did you get your own survey done? If so, did it mention anything about this?0
