I have a door to the cupboard under the stairs which is only about 50mm square. I would like to enlarge this by making a triangular space above it up to the level of the stairs.
The wall involved is of single brick running from floor to loft (enclosing stairs). It is not a load-bearing wall (apart from the stairs and its own weight??)
1. Do I need a lintel?
2. If so, what type:something special, presumably, as the load of the wall above the doorway will then be at an angle?
Thanks
Paul
