  • No Lintels 1960s semi

    Hello I am buying a 1960s house but survey says there are no lintels above doors or windows. No signs of sagging brickwork except diagonal crack over patio doors. Do I need to put in lintels on first floor or just ground floor. Are smaller windows okay? Any idea of costs for average window. Many thanks
