Some of the rendering above our kitchen window has fallen off leaving exposed brickwork.
The window is UPVC and there is no lintel above it! the bricks are either resting on the frame or just holding above it, some of the bricks are loose too can can be pulled out.
I need advice on what type of lintel I need.
Inside, there ia a wooden one and there doesn't seem to be a large cavity between bricks (about 30mm max).
The window span is 1800mm. I have seen a 2100mm galvanised box section lintel that I thought may be alright but I thought I'd better ask for advice before I go and buy one.
I plan to re-render the outside when done.
If anyone can help then please do.
Cheers,
Mark.
