In todays video we are installing a 1500mm long 4x2 concrete lintel, this originally was a normal 30inch door opening which they wanted making wider to a 1200mm wide opening for two 600mm wide doors.
Hope you enjoy, Please like, comment & subscribe!

Thanks for this a full perspective of installation

[@ConstructionwithKieren]

No problem 👍

I've got to replace a rotten concrete window lintel on a exterior ground floor of a house. The replacement lintel will be 39 inch long the same as the one removed so do I really need to buy an Acrow & strong boy or will it be ok to do if I'm really careful without an Acrow & strongboy 🤔

[@ratgreen]

Does this type of work require you to contact building control? Do they have to survey it first to spec what size and type of lintel should be used?

[@ConstructionwithKieren]

No it doesn’t. & you can easily just use a 4x2 concrete lintel

[@bellrobert1978]

With a solid external wall would you do one side at a time adding a concrete lintel or put a hole straight through and put both lintels in at the same time?

Is that acro just agains a scaffold taking the weight of the joists?

Thanks very much for uploading this. Very helpful!

Thankyou mate!

Sparky upstairs making a racket i expect. Good work pal. I do loads of stuff like this and can appreciate how difficult it can be at times.

[@ConstructionwithKieren]

Tom Vincent I’ll be honest mate, it’s one of lads working with me! Although it sounds like a sparky with a hammer😂🔨

[@BrumCraft]

Hi, what mortar mix did you use?

[@stevehobbs6863]

Nice job 👍 Getting a proper builders eye view

[@ConstructionwithKieren]

Thanks Steve👍🏽 hope you enjoyed mate!!

[@jerrynonofbss2588]

no plastic to protect the wood floor from the falling mortar?

[@ConstructionwithKieren]

Got cleaned up straight the way.

If I just needed to fit a lintel on the ground floor level in a supporting wall using a grinder to cut out a slot to fit a 1500 lintel in Would I still need accros and scaff boards either side to prop the ceilings to take weight ?

[@Neearm]

The Acro (and strongboy) are there to stop the wall above the lintel falling down. I wouldn't recommend trying it without them.

[@ianbaulk9766]

At what point do you remove the strong boy is one prop ok for an opening that size even if it’s a supporting wall thanks

[@ConstructionwithKieren]

Ian Baulk Hi Ian, I normally take the acro out when all I have left to do is put the last brick in where the acro is mate. This is a 1200mm wife opening so for me 1 acro was sufficient giving roughly 500mm either side of the acro. Obviously the more acros the better but then if you had 2 or 3 on this opening you’d struggle getting many bricks in to start with👍🏽🧱

[@ianbaulk9766]

Construction With Kieren thanks

[@markhep]

Good work my man 👍👍I enjoy doing work like this brakes it up a bit 👍👍👍

[@ConstructionwithKieren]

Mark Hep Thankyou mate, this was one of many doorways being changed and made! 2 steels been put in also but didn’t have time to record majority of it shamefully! Thanks mark👍🏽🔨🧱

[@chukzn17]

How much did this cost the customer if you dont mind me asking?

[@ConstructionwithKieren]

I’m not sure mate as I didn’t quote but I would take a guess at around 4-500 to plasterboard it up etc👍🏽

[@markanderson6969]

Don't get that level dirty mate
