Hi everyone!
I'm installing a new window in a back bedroom wall where there's no window at present, looking out into garden. There is already a window in the bedroom on the side of the house. I've got the upvc window made which is 110cm wide to match the other existing window. The other original windows meet externally to the barge boards with possibly one row of headers on top. (Looking at my neighbours house!)
My question is would I need a lintel for the internal course of brickwork? I'm guessing there's approx maybe 3 to 4 courses of brickwork internally I have not as yet started the paperwork removal internally.
Our property does not seem to have a cavity, as in the brickwork pattern has 5 rows of stretchers then a row of headers. Is this correct?
As ever, thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.
Cheers
Gary.
