Rusty Lintel

In Perth most of our homes are double brick construction. So there are steel lintels located over most of the doors and windows. Over time, if they have not been treated appropriately, can rust. If this continues the lintel begins to expand and thicken which can then cause cracking of the brickwork. We recommend that the lintel is prepared and appropriately painted with a rust guard product to prevent any further rust building up.

During this Bayswater building inspection this rusty lintel was found in the bathroom.
