Before this is covered however it is best we go over what a lintel and what a lintel repair is .
A lintel is a beam that bears the load above it , lintels are used above a windows and doors because alone windows and doors cannot structurally support a major load above it , for example the brickwork of the side a house .
What Is A Lintel Repair?
A lintel repair is when a lintel that has aged to failure or has failed due to other reasons such as it being installed incorrectly is repaired so that it properly does its intended job by structurally supporting the load above it .
Older timber lintels that were installed many years ago often fail due to them not being able to stand the test of time and therefore needing replacing .
When we do replace lintels we will install either a concrete lintel or a metal one because it is more sturdy and able to last much longer than the outdated timber lintel.
Lintels are also prone to failure when a builder who isn’t an expert takes on the work and doesn’t know what they are doing so therefore the lintel fails to fit its purpose and a new one must be installed.
How A Lintel Is Repaired ? Lintel Repair Leeds
A lintel must be repaired by removing the failing lintel and installing the new lintel . This would be done by first structurally supporting the load above the lintel .
Normally the load above the lintel would be brickwork , for example a job we recently completed was to replace a lintel on a window that was outlooking a garden . For this the load above was the brickwork of the gable end of the house , but alternatively you may need a lintel for the joists above a door so that the above floor is properly structurally supported.
Like said before when a lintel is to be replaced we would have to install a metal or concrete lintel but before that is done we must structurally support the load above and we would do this by propping up the load with a Strong Boy structural support devices and acrows .
Doing this would ensure that the loads above are properly propped up and structurally safe and sound so that we can remove the lintel .
Once this lintel is removed we would install the better one, and we would do this properly . You can be sure we will always do this properly and safely because we are structural specialist who have over three decades of experience and have mastered carrying out all structural works.
