A lintel is the structural support that sits above your windows and doors. It carries the weight of the brickwork above the opening and distributes it safely to the surrounding walls. Lintels are typically made from steel, concrete or stone, and they are one of the most critical structural elements in any building.
When a lintel fails, the brickwork above the opening loses its support. This leads to cracking, bowing and in severe cases, partial collapse. The damage usually starts small but gets progressively worse over time.
Ignoring a failing lintel will only make the repair more expensive and more disruptive. The sooner you act, the simpler the fix.
