I'm considering swapping a doorway and window (reusing the existing door), the current window opening is the same height but slightly narrower than the doorway opening but I assume they will have used the same standard size lintel for both.
I want to investigate by removing some mortar, but can anyone suggest where the lintel may be on the external face? Will the soldier bricks be purely for show with the lintel above or below or will they be structural? The plans for the property say "Birtley Lintel over all window and external door openings".
Thanks
