Hi all I'm new to the site and have a question my husband decided to take out the arch between the two living rooms and return it to a square shape. After taking off the plaster and the mesh arches the concrete lintel has been exposed and 3 wooden inserts can been seen in it, is this compromising the lintel?? this must have been like this for over 20 years but I want to be sure it is right before re-plastering any help or advise would be really appreciated thanks in advance
They were put in when the lintel was cast in situ - well over 20 years they are for fixing to before SDS drills were invented - have a look for Rawlplug tool / jumper on google- that's how holes were made back in the day.
