Afternoon,
Just wanting some advice on potential sources and remedies for water ingress that has caused a hole in the plaster above our front door.
This hole has appeared after a particularly wet winter, and occasionally drips - particularly if the wind is blowing rain towards the house. We live in a bit of a wind tunnel, so this occurs quite regularly. Above the door an en-suite bathroom, with a decorative balcony outside the window. I tried sealing the gap between the balcony and the brickwork, but didn't do a fantastic job, although I'm not even certain this is the issue.
As you can see - the bricks look quite saturated, and there is a gap in between the lintel and concrete. Our house is 11 years old, and I'm at a bit of a loss as to how to fix the primary issue, and then repair it. It may be a professional job but I don't know who is best to contact to diagnose.
Any help would be much appreciated. Images attached (last two are the balcony).
Thanks in advance.
