Am planning on knocking through a downstairs internal wall from kitchen through to lounge area. Wall is of breeze block type construction and supports a similar wall above. It is approximately 10 feet wide and butts into another internal hallway wall. I want to open the wall to 1800mm and insert a lintel to support the upstairs wall.
What size lintel do i need and how much of the lintel needs to sit on existing wall at either end.
Apologies for crude building references as not sure of terms etc. Please ask for info I'm sure i've left loads out.
Thanks for any help offered
