Lintol replacement & helical stitch bar installation was the order of the day on this one
After knocking off the coating off the existing lintol, I was very surprised to find that the reason for the lintol failure was that some absolute lunatic had fitted it on its back (image 2 & 3)
Obviously they aren't designed to be set in that manner which caused it to sag, causing structural cracking to the brickwork both internally and externally
And that's why you get someone who knows what they're doing, like me π
New catnic fitted, mortar raked out and helical stitch bars resined in place, lots of slate packing and pointing, and now it's as good as new and done correctly (image 1)
