Window lintel repair needed for new UPVC windows in Leicester

We were called by a home owner who was in the process of upgrading the thermal efficiency of his home. They had initially been incorrectly advised that they needed a window lintel replacement.

The contractors fitting his triple glazing identified cracking above his existing double glazed windows and further investigation revealed a lack of window lintels in the external leaf of the the cavity wall.

The homeowner called us for a quote for retro fitted Strucsol helical wire lintel - we were able to supply a quotation based on the photos they provided without attending site.

We installed the lintels in a single day for the quoted price, with the only visible sign of our work being the freshly repointed mortar where we had removed the brickwork bed joints to insert the high tensile wires.

The work is available with an independently insured warranty for 10 years. Get in touch if this is something we can do you for you

Works fully completed- fresh mortar that has been repointed is still drying- once dried it will blend in with the existing mortar leaving no trace of repairs.
