Am in the process of pricing up knocking a ground floor wall down in my house. The wall is part of the original external cavity wall, width 250mm.
The new opening will span 3.5m. Would reinforced concrete lintels be sufficient for this or would you advise an RSJ. Roughly what sizes would they need to be?
I will be getting calculations done for this, but just want to know rough sizes required so that I can start to see how much things will cost.
