Hi there, please can anyone help. I have just paid a lot of money to have 6 aluminium windows fitted with slimline frames of 40mm depth. The windows being removed were much deeper, being upvc from the 80s.
It now seems that the windows don’t have lintels and we have effectively removed any support that the windows were offering.
Is the window company responsible for a) not surveying properly and spotting that these windows could not be swapped like for like
b) neglecting to point out the lack of lintel at installation stage and carrying on with the job.
Is this a building regs matter? Any advice would be gratefully received
