Hi, I have a small ground floor window (860 x 1150mm) to brick up before a new combi-boiler is hung there, and have a few queries;
- Would there be any issues taking out the lintel, as the boiler flue would ideally go where it currently is, or would it be better to just rethink the flue position? I believe it to be a concrete lintel as the extension was built in the 70/80's.
- I will key in the outside bricks, and tie in the inside blocks either side at every other course, but will the inside and outside also need to be tied?
- I intend to leave the soldier course as is.
Any other tips/suggestions?
Many thanks!
