have a victorian terrace with front 2 story bay that is v.wonky with window surrounds & lintels sloping to one side. Is it possible to do anything to make the bay look straight?

would like to know what can be done and potential costs to give a straighter appearance to the front of the house. The house is structurally sound and has not moved for many years (survey is done) the sinking is simply due to historic movement and a difference in foundations due to cellar on one side but we would like to know if we can correct the wonky appearance.
Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

hi there if you are looking to get the front of the building looking plumb and level you will have to re build sorry best to just live with it unless you have a bit of cash to spare thank you ian

Hello, best bet would be to rebuild the bay windows, it may be possible to clad to make it appear level but the rebuild would be best and maybe would not cost the earth either. Good luck
