Exposed Box Lintel

The rules regarding cold bridging were significantly less onerous back then so it’s extremely unlikely there was ever a beach of the regs and even if there was they will just laugh.

How could a surveyor possibly know there is no insulation above? And even then it’s a minor defect, I guarantee there will be no redress there either.

Add some insulation above it and move on with your life. It’s a poor detail tis all.

Removing some tiles and doing it that way is an option.

Hi,

How would I get round the fact the lintel feeds into a cavity each side? This acts like a tunnel feeding air through the lintel straight into the cavity and the floor space above.

Many Thanks

Will.
