    RSJ vs Lintel on 2.6m External Wall/ Knock Through

    between the door and window looks about 3m so you would need a 3.5 catnic lintol to do this, would take 2 men about 2 days to complete with plastering, not sure on cost as rates vary all over the country but the lintol would be £200-300

    Builders vs. Brickies (Bonding)
