Hi There, I would like to put a window into my untility room which is just a 1 story brick unit with sloping tiled roof up to the upstairs bathroom window.

I have a PVC window 490 X 490mm do i need t bother putting a lintel or concrete thing in for such a small window and 1 story unit?

Thanks

Yes you do. It's odds on to crack over the opening otherwise. The lintel Doesn't need to be anything very heavy, though, for that span.

I believe putting in a window is subject to building control because of the environmental and structural implications. You'll need to check with your local council about this.
