I have a cellar on my house and a lintel which used to be above the coal chute has rotted (it was wood). I thought that the easiest way to get around this problem was to cast a concrete lintel in situ. Is this a good idea?
I had intended to put a few reinforcing rods in place just for good measure, but any other hints or tips would be most welcome. The lintel does not have to support much as there is a steel lintel holding the external wall, and there is a door directly above this opening along with its own steell lintel
Thanks in advance
