I want to remove an existing lintel at the rear of my house then fit a wider lintel and then fit larger patio doors beneath it, but I will have to submit plans etc to building regs. I have tried to look up the calculations but have got very confused.
My house is a 30's semi, 9" solid brick rendered, the patio doors are on the ground floor, above it is a bedroom (solid wall with window in) and above that is a standard tile hung roof.
I prefer to use a 'catnic' box type lintel as they are easier to manhandle.
