I've looked extensively online. Does anyone know where I can this shape of wood? It's for a gate frame. Cheers.

The opening is 75mm. This is what I am replacing. Not the small one above the window, but the one above that.

Cool. How much including delivery to sunny Leicester?

It definitely needs to be 70 deep! I take it no-one out there does bespoke lintels then? :?

Hi noseall, only if I cut one it's full length to get the 245mm width.

No sign of downward movement at the moment. But above the top lintel is the airing cupboard, and I recently removed the hot water cylinder which was leaking heavily for a while. Therefore the lintel is rotten on the left as you look at it in the picture, but the right hand side doesn't seem to...

I have a wooden lintel above a small window. This lintel has rotted. Below the lintel the brickwork is inset. Where the lintel meets the wall underneath there is a gap exposing inside. This gap has just had concrete poured into it to plug the gap. I imagine I need to replace this lintel...
