    New Lintel Required

    I have noticed a line of bricks above the 2nd floor window are about 1cm from the layer directly above, s this requiring a lintel? Is this a big job, how long does it take. Should a bricklayer have special skills to do the work and guarantees and 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
