Hey all.
So new here and after some urgent advice.
The external door that was originally between the conservatory and the house did not have a proper frame and has had to be ripped out.
In doing so we have noticed there is no lintel but soldier bricks. Currently these aren't supported as we are awaiting the plasterer to square off the door opening.
My question is can we just fit a new wooden door frame in this opening or do we need a lintel?
Can I have this open for a couple of weeks or does it need supporting urgently?
We have indemnity insurance for this opening the conversatory and another opening as we have only been here 2 months. Is it worth raising?
