Sometimes lintels need to be repaired because they were either installed by a contractor incorrectly or more commonly the lintel has aged so much that it has started failing . Many times the lintels that have been installed many years ago were wooden lintels , so they should be replaced with a concrete or metal lintel .
Many of the times lintels have been installed incorrectly, is due to the contractor not being a structural specialist so therefore they are not an expert at this type of work and make many more mistakes than a structural specialist such as ourselves .
If a lintel is not repaired when it is damaged it can cause a range of problems . The most common problem is creating wall cracks above where the lintel is . This is because the lintel is not properly supporting the brickwork above , so the brickwork is stretching , separating the layers in-between and creating wall cracks which can get much worse over time .
The Correct Process Of A Lintel Repair
The first step in a correct lintel repair would be to set up the site so the property is always entirely clean , this is ours specialty we take pride in keeping your home super clean and tidy . Our prior clients have continually praised us for this because many builders are messy and leave the property dirty and full of dust . We always treat your home as if it was our own .
Next we would structurally prop up the loads above the lintel by using our speciality structural supports and propping devices . This is where many generic builders go wrong and create further issues , but because we are structural experts we guarantee you will have no problems with our work or how we carry out work .
Once we have structurally supported the loads above we can then safely remove the defective lintel and replace it with a modernised concrete or metal lintel which will do its job better and greatly more durable during the upcoming decades . We would then be able to take out the structural supports and propping device , so once we cleaned up a final time the job is done.
Many non structural specialists may say they can do this work but we would warn you that unless they are verified structural experts like us with verified vast amounts of customer testimonials then there is a massive chance they cannot carry out this work and may damage your home.
We have seen this many times , a big tell tale sign they are not experts is if they greatly undercut our prices . This shows they either greatly underestimate the work or they may just be a cowboy builder. We advise you to trust builders on the ABP Website .
