Hi - my house has been extended by the previous owners and they chose to leave the bathroom window in place even though the extension made the window internal. It looks dreadful and so I have removed the window and frame and I plan on filling the hole with plasterboard etc.
Momentary panic - have I potentially caused a structural issue by removing the window frame?!
There is a steel lintel in place which I presume was inserted when the window originally installed. Is that sufficient to take the weight or should I install some additional supports (perhaps some timber batons) before filling the hole with plasterboard.
Many thanks.
