When I removed the wood panelling there was no lintel and three layers of bricks left hanging, there was cut outs into the wall either side for a lintel so presumably he couldn't be bothered to finish and buy a lintel.
I have made safe by boshing some wood in.
I have also screwed some scaff planks to the beams above to support.
My plan is to prop up with acrows remove the bricks and put a lintel in, can anyone help with advice on type (thinking non composite concrete as there are no bricks above).
How do I work out size I need (apart from span plus 300mm)
Any advice would be greatly appreciated
