putting a lintel above a window

Post by kev » Thu Apr 26, 2007 12:29 am

above my kitchen window there is no lintel or support of any kind,the brick work above the window is slowly starting to drop which is causing cracks in the bricks,i am worried this could collapse as there is another floor above.how do i place some support above the window.the window is about 2m wide.
