Need advice re crack between brick mortar and door frame on back door

Posted by Alastair Todd, on
I am concerned about the safety of the outer wall upper scullery(1st floor terraced villa)and require structural assessment. There is a crack in the mortar between the bricks and the door frame which runs from just below the the lintel down to about the door handle. I need the wall checked out too.Please advise who to contact initially. Thanks

I would not be concerned about the crack that you describe. If the crack continues above the lintel to the roof or to the foundation, then there's a problem.

What would you like to do now?
