I'm creating an opening of 1500mm in an internal block wall.
I have a lintel (1800mm long), I've checked the joists above, they run parallel to the wall so there's no joists resting on the blockwork.
However, the blockwork does continue up as it forms the wall to our bedroom.
Am I okay to just cut the letterbox opening and slide the lintel in, without propping anything up?
Thank you in advance.
