Why Are Window and Door Lintels Needed? Lintel Repairs In Birmingham
Lintels are basically used to span a space and hold any weight that is above them. This is more typically found above a door or a window, for example. A lintel is required to protect a window from the weight of the brick work above and prevents wall cracks from the lack of support of the window.
This could be a steel or concrete lintel. Timber lintels were extremely popular in older homes before many of today’s current building requirements, and they will still be in existence today in many homes if we open a wall to reveal them.
Timber lintels were problematic and inappropriate for a variety of reasons, including the following: they were a highly flammable, they were prone to decay, they would stretch and compress, causing settling and they were not as sturdy as alternatives presently available. Many of the lintels we repair are older timber lintels, but we also replace or repair steel and concrete lintels.
Perhaps the incorrect lintel was chosen to sustain the load above, or the lintel has suffered from rust or other damage. In any case, if it requires repair or replacement, it must be done to prevent further fundamental damage to the building.

If you detect or are notified to any of these indicators, your first port of call should be a structural repair specialist like Affordable Building Projects .
What Is the Procedure for Lintel Repairs In Birmingham?
Each job we handle will have its own specifications, thus we will tailor the work plan to what is needed for the job. However, in the case of a lintel replacement, this will usually include supporting the structure from above to guarantee any load is maintained, enabling us to remove the damaged lintel and put in a new one.
After the lintel repair, the brickwork would be packed tightly to avoid movement. We will advise on the scope of work to be performed once we arrive at your house or premises. If we believe that more evidence or a mechanical calculation is required, we may recommend that a civil engineer be consulted. We will notify you in either case.
Our main goal is you, the customer, and ensuring that everything is done securely and correctly. We have a professional team with many years of professional experience in all types of lintel repair and replacement. We handle every aspect of the job from start to finish.
