I have a section of wall bowing out above a new D/G window which was put in 3 years ago.
It is on a house i am buying.
It is fairly straight forward to remove the section and install a proper catnip lintel, but i am not sure how i go about supporting the above wall. It is a std ground and first floor semi, so there is a full first floor wall above (not gabled).
Do i just use some stongboys to hold everything up ? Maybe 3 of them ?
I would need to remove the solider lintel course and then 3 courses above, put in the lintel and then recourse the bricks back up.
