Hi,
Starting to get ready to knock through into our new extension and just wanted to check the lintels will be sufficient,
As you can see in the first picture there is a large concrete lintel spanning the window, there's 3 of these across the entire rear of the original house and they've been there since 1971.
I plan to remove the window and brickwork below it shown in the second photo, I'm fairly sure the lintel is more than sufficient as that's all that's ever been there, the window doesn't support anything and the brickwork below is only supporting the window but I just wanted to check before I go too far
Thanks
Chris
