I have been ripping various bits off my house and revealed a fireplace in a fireplace The more recent bricks have a metal lintel below them but the original soldier course do not seem to have anything below them, other than the new cement and bricks.
I would like to take out the new bricks back to the old ones. Will I need a lintel below the bricks or will the soldier course do this work?
