What A Lintel Repair Is 

A lintel repair is when a lintel that has been damaged or no longer can do its job properly is removed and replaced with a newer more modernised lintel.

 Lintels can be damaged because of a few reasons but the two most common reasons are that the lintel was previously installed incorrectly or that the lintel is old and aged to failure .

Lintels that have been incorrectly installed are often installed by general builders and not structural experts so this is why it is important to choose a structural specialist. 

Older lintels that were installed years ago are often wooden . So as the years have gone on these wooden lintels have become obsolete and aged to failure . So when we replace the lintel we replace it with a newer metal one.

How We Complete A Lintel Repair

The first step we would carry out for lintel repairs in Birmingham would be to structurally prop up the loads above the lintel that is to be removed . We would do this so the loads above are totally structurally secure and we are safe to remove the lintel .

After this we would remove the lintel and replace it with a metal and modernised lintel . Our structural experts would carry this out efficiently and then the lintel repair would be complete once we have cleaned up the site .

This may sound easy but we assure you that many builders get this wrong , so choose the right builder first and call us a verified structural specialist .

Why Lintel Repairs Are Needed

Lintel repairs are needed when a lintel has failed . Simply because if the lintel is not repaired it creates structural problems in the property .

The main problem that occurs from lintel repairs are wall cracks , this is caused because the brickwork above the lintels would not be supported so therefore creates separation between the brickwork .  

Other more serious problems can be caused by the failure of a lintel so it is always best that you get your lintel repaired as soon as possible by a structural specialist who is an expert at lintel repairs and isn’t a cowboy builder.

What Specific Type Of Builder Is Best Lintel Repairs

The best builder for lintel repairs is a structural builder who specialises in structural alterations and repair . This is because a builder who isn’t an expert at this type of work is more likely to make costly mistakes.

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.
