  • Window Lintel Work

    I have noticed a line of bricks above the 2nd floor window are about 1cm from the layer directly above, does this requiring a lintel? Is this a big job, how long does it take. Should a bricklayer or window specialist do the work, finally would it be best to have both windows on the same level have new lintels added. Do the windows have to be removed if so is a bricklayer or window fitter best for the job. Halesowen Area, West Midlands

    planning permission for garden observatory with a height of 2.5 metres

    Will I need planning permission to have a garden observatory installed? I’ve been searching online and I have found one that I’m interested in. I’m considering having one fitted with a height of 2.5 metres. Is this the sort of job that can be done without planning permission or will I require approval? If the latter is true, briefly, how do I go about the process of getting approval?
