You need the RSJ to have min 100mm bearing at each end.. Can you expose any more of the beam to see it's extents.. It should really be sitting on a padstone at each end.. Shouldn't be any issue straightening the wall up..

Just seen this super useful diagram, thanks so much for knocking it up. Makes understanding a lot easier when inevitably things can get lost in translation. I'll look again with the torch to see if I can see said padstones and if not peel more plaster away.
@tgr @bigshape thanks for explaining this. Do you think you could expect your usual builder to know about these things? If you don't know no worries, you've all be so useful already.

If I square this arch myself am I going to die? My hunch is no due to the beefy rsj but wouldn't mind sharing the blame should the worst happen. Thanks.
