I have recently noticed a diagonal crack in an external wall, underneath a window, near the drainage pipes.
The bungalow was built circa 1965 and had a loft conversion done approximately 8-9 years ago. (done prior to me moving in).
I have checked internally and there is no visible signs of water ingress or internal cracking in this area.
My concern is that this could be due to subsidence? Has anyone else encountered this issue and can provide any guidance on how best to resolve it, or who best to contact (builder, or structural engineer), or could it be attributable to 'natural shrinkage'?
Many thanks and kind regards, Tony
