Why Lintels Fail
Lintels often fail , when they do it is because of a few common problems . The most common problem we have found is that the lintel was installed many years ago when timber was the most common material to use .
Due to this being the case the lintels will often fail due to rot or age . Another reason , less common yet still very frequent , is that the lintel was previously installed incorrectly by a non structural specialist and because of this the lintel has now began to fail .
The Best Way To Repair A Lintel
When a lintel has shown signs of damage the best thing to do is to remove the damaged lintel completely and replace it with either a concrete lintel or a steel cantic , which acts perfectly like a lintel and does the job just as well .
For this to be done the loads above the lintel , such as brickwork , would have to be structurally propped up . When this has happened the damaged lintel can be safely removed . After this the new lintel can be installed and the job would be complete.
Why You Must Contact A Structural Specialist For Your Lintel Repair
This may sound simple but unless your contractor is a structural specialist they will most likely incorrectly install the lintel , or could further damage the property . Regardless , you must always get your damaged lintel repaired or it will cause wall cracks to the above brickwork .
