Im in the process of installing a Catnic CN6XB 2850mm lintel for a clear span of 2550mm into a ground floor 100mm blockwork wall which only supports the first floor joists.
I intend to support the lintel using engineering bricks as a padstone at either end (minimum 150mm bearing).
Can someone confirm if I can support the floor joists directly off the lintel?
Somewhere Ive read you can and can't, I need to know before I submit plans to building control.
thanks
