I'm going to put a 1200mm lintel into a load-bearing wall in my home.
Directly above the wall and parallel to it, upstairs, is breeze block partition wall.
Above the lintel there are 3 courses of brickwork before you come to the ceiling beams.
If I remove the brickwork for the lintel and immediately put in the lintel, can I get away without supporting the ceiling?
I think I probabably could. What say? Thanks.
P.S. BTW the joists overlap on the load-bearing wall.
