Internal window in a load bearing wall.

[JamesAsus]

The only practical way to bring light into our kitchen is an internal window fitted between the kitchen and living room.

The problem is this wall is a breezeblock load bearing internal wall.

I assume cutting a hole out and fitting a window in this would require a lintel to be fitted? And would be a big job and very expensive?

Type of window would probably be a 1000mm wide upvc one.

I don't think that is a practical way. But yes, it will need a lintel, and building regulation approval, and if the fire regulations apply (flat or three storey house) extra precautions.

Basically, if i want an internal window in an internal load bearing wall, what work would be required and would it cost a fortune and be a huge job to undertake?
