    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
