Is the brickwork above your window showing signs of cracking?

Cracked brickwork can often indicate underlying issues with your window lintels, which are crucial for supporting the weight of the structure above. In most cases, this can be a result of a total lack of lintel in the first place. Ignoring these signs can lead to more severe damage and costly repairs down the line.

What Are Window Lintels and Why Are They Important?

Window lintels are horizontal supports that sit above your windows, distributing the weight of the masonry above. They play a critical role in maintaining the structural integrity of your home. When a lintel fails or becomes damaged, it can cause stress on the surrounding brickwork, leading to cracking and potential water intrusion.

Signs You Need Window Lintel Repair

If you’re unsure whether your home requires window lintel repair, look out for these common signs:

• Cracks in the Brickwork: Horizontal or vertical cracks above the window frame can indicate lintel issues.

• Sticking Windows: If your windows are difficult to open or close, it may be due to misalignment caused by a failing lintel.

• Visible Damage: Look for bowing or sagging in the brickwork, which can suggest that the lintel is no longer providing adequate support.

• UPVC Windows are a common cause of cracked brickwork above windows. Read more about this here

Why You Should Address Lintel Issues Promptly

Addressing window lintel problems as soon as they are detected is crucial for several reasons:

• Prevent Further Damage: The longer you wait, the more extensive (and expensive) the repairs can become.

• Maintain Home Value: Cracked brickwork can detract from your home’s curb appeal and overall value.

• Ensure Safety: A damaged lintel can lead to structural instability, posing safety risks for you and your family.
