Brady Structural Repairs Lintel Repairs and Lintel Reinforcement

A lintel is a horizontal structural member typically made of concrete, steel, or timber that spans an opening in a wall, such as a window or doorway. Its primary function is to support the weight of the wall above the opening, effectively transferring the load to the surrounding structure. Without a properly functioning lintel, the masonry above the opening is at risk of collapsing.

Lintel failure is a silent threat that can compromise the structural integrity of your property. From subtle cracks above windows and doors to more significant bowing and displacement, neglecting lintel damage can lead to costly repairs and even safety hazards. Thankfully, for homeowners and businesses in Chester and Liverpool, Brady Structural Repairs is providing expert lintel repair and reinforcement services to address these critical issues.

Identifying lintel problems early is crucial for preventing further damage. Look out for these common signs:

• Cracks above windows and doors: Hairline cracks, especially those radiating from the corners of openings, are often the first indication of a weakening lintel.
• Bowing or sagging lintels: A visible curve or sag in the lintel indicates it's struggling to support the weight above.
• Falling or crumbling brickwork: Noticeable deterioration of the brickwork or stonework above the opening could be a sign of lintel failure.
• Sticking windows and doors: Difficulty opening or closing windows and doors can be a result of structural movement caused by a failing lintel.
• Water ingress: Cracks in the lintel can allow water to penetrate the wall, leading to dampness and further damage.
