A seasonal brickwork observation checklist
Occasional observation can make changes easier to explain. It should stay at safe ground level and avoid touching loose or deteriorated masonry.
Look for changes, not diagnoses
Compare visible cracks, staining and mortar appearance with earlier photographs. Note new fragments on the ground and changes near openings or drainage. Arrange assessment where concerns appear rather than waiting for a regular checklist date.
Define the next step
Keep a simple dated record. Do not infer that a wall is sound merely because the visible appearance has not changed.
