Looking to replace windows in a 1920/1930 house from wood to upvc
Construction is solid wall (220mm) and is built with a header course above windows (i.e no lintel)
Can a upvc window be fitted as a replacement without further reinforcement. Or is a lintel required to be fitted, unless window is replaced with another wooden frame?
I have had a fensa company round who would just fit new upvc - but dont want to be storing up trouble for later
