I am planning to put a single door through an internal loadbearing wall in my house and need to calculate the size of lintel required to satisfy the Building Inspector.
I was referred to BS 5977 to do this but when I Googled this document the web site wanted £90 for a copy!
Is this the going rate? it certainly doesn't encourage one to do the job properly but take a gamble with the size, maybe putting in a lintel much larger than required - is there cheaper way of getting hold of a copy?
