This is sometimes due to missing pointing or porous brickwork that needs sealing. It can also be because the window is poorly fitted, is not sealed properly or has a corroded or missing cavity tray above the window.

This may be due to either corroded wall ties or lack of support over an opening such as a doorway or window. Crack stitching ties cracked walls together using helibars or reinforcing rods, allowing masonry to flex slightly but holding the wall in place.

If a sandstone lintel above an opening has a crack in it, this can be repaired with waterproof cement.

This can be due to lack of air ventilation or wall cavities may need cleaning out.

  • Lead flashing needs replacing
  • Chimney may need re-pointing
  • Chimney pot may be damaged or needs a cowl fitting
Check for correct flashing depth, re-point above or install a cavity tray.

This can be caused by water penetration between the slates or roof tiles not being sealed to the chimney.
