Hi all,
Just had a rear exension built. the old kitchen door and side window have been removed to leave a 1.5 metre opening into the exension. Walls are standard english brick (9" blockwall). Above the opening is a single brick arch and behind this is the old wooden lintel.
Can I leave this as is, or now that the door frame is removed do I need to replace the wooden lintel and nock out the brick arch to replace with concrete/steel lintel
Thanx all
