Hi,
I've had a builder round to quote to cut out a hole in my wall (external wall, cavity).
The opening is to be 2100 x 1000 (or there abouts, to the nearest course of bricks)
Its a red brick house, and the outside wall is bear bricks, not rendered.
I want to know what the builder will do exactly, just out of curisity. I am not doing this my self, way too dodgy for my diy skills.
I've read up on how to fit the lintel, and from what i read, it will be a catnic type, and will be pinned up using strong boy acro props every 2ft apart.
