    THE MOST SHOCKING LINTEL WE HAVE EVER SEEN !! WE ARE BACK FOR PART 2 OF THE WINDOW RE MODEL JOB.
    FIRST WE PICK UP AND THEN INSTALL A 750 MM ANGLE IRON AND A 900 MM 100 X 75 MM CONCRETE LINTEL WHILE WE WAIR FOR OUR TWO SCAFFOLDS TO GO UP.
    WE WE EVENTUALLY GET UP ON THE SCAFF WE HAVE LOST TOO MUCH OF THE DAY TO PUL BACK.
    WE REMOVE THE BRICKWORK ABOVE THE LANDING WINDOW AND PROP WITH OUR ACROWS AND STRONG BOYS AS ALWAYS. THE BRICK WORK IS VERY HARD TO REMOVE BECAUSE THE LINTEL HAS RUSTED SO MUCH AND LIFTED THE WHOLE PIKE UP ABOUT 10 MM LEAVING A HUGE CRACK.
    THE LINTEL IS IN A TRULY SHOCKING STATE....ENJOY
    ** PAYPAL LINK @BWSAA ** THANKS 🙏🏽

    As somebody who works with old farm machinery it never ceases to amaze me the power of rust expansion it can literally force anything apart. It puzzles me that these were not galvanised. Do you think these were put in when the windows were changed to PVC and the original brick was just sat on the wooden window frame. I note it was wood lintel on the inside. interestingly enough my bungalow was the same as this timber beams inside and bricks saw directly on the wooden window frame 8 ft wide 😳

    Hi Lads. The lintel was actually proper angle iron, and not steel. The iron has delaminated over time, as you’ve found out. Good work, as always, cheers.

      Angle iron is only a generic term and has not been used probably since Victorian times. I’ve worked on and off the steelworks at Scunthorpe for 50 years and it’s still called angle iron in engineering construction although it is mild steel.

As for that metal lintel, be it steel, or iron, I can see a lot of houses on that estate with the same issues as this. Could be a big earner for you both if you do some investigating. & some door to door sales. Just a thought. 🖖👍

      It’s steel, iron doesn’t delaminate like this and hasn’t been used for lintels since Noah. The problem is it wasn’t galvanised when it went in. Iron wouldn’t bend like it was when Steve was bending it, it would shatter as it’s very brittle. A lot of old railway bridges are iron.

    That rusty steel certainty did some damage. Was the original lintel ungalvanized and painted plus the fact the tray didn't cover it over and there were no weep holes?
