Hi
I am just about to create a new doorway through an existing window. This window goes through an old outside wall that now goes into a new extention. Will the inside wall already have a lintel in place? The outside looks like it hasn't and has just got the pretty row of on end bricks.
How high do i have to set the lintel in the wall? At present the top of the window is 7ft 2in.
Is just bricking up the remainder of the wall Ok? What else do i need to be aware of?
Thanks in advance.
