It's been hit at some point (before I owned it) and has a large crack running down through the bricks. I want to salvage the shed as it's probably way cheaper than rebuilding. The shed also acts as a boundary fence, it's all fully approved from the 60s(?), isn't in the best shape, but overall seems fine. I will also replace the roof and roof structure if needed. It's a basic flat roof with only a few degree pitch with corrugated iron. I will also replace the current door with a roller door. I'd like some opinions on repair methods or what I should be looking at doing, professional or diy level etc. I was thinking some props on the timber lintel to hold this section of the roof up. Then I could demo out the damaged section. After that, just rebuild back to the lintel height. I was about to get a * quote, but I hate that website and haven't had good experiences. If people in Perth can recommend someone who might be able to assist, that would be cool.
