Hi all,
First post here.
I would appreciate some advice on fireplace lintels.
I have removed a redundant baxi fire and want to replace it with an open cast iron fire, the insert requires an opening 23x30 inches.
To do this would require moving the concrete lintel up by 5 inches. My question is do I need the concrete lintel as the original brick lintel is still in place?
