Another one completed with Fortis Windows & Doors 👌

This job needed more than simply fitting a new door and windows. The existing lintels and brickwork above the openings needed attention too.

We safely supported the wall, replaced the lintels and rebuilt the brickwork detail above the windows. Fortis then expertly fitted the new windows and door, bringing the whole front up to date.

A great result, and a good example of why the masonry around new windows matters just as much as the frames themselves. Great working alongside the Fortis team to get it all finished properly.

If you’re planning new windows or doors and the brickwork or lintels need sorting as part of the job, BL9 can work alongside your installer to take care of that side of it. Give us a shout and we’ll have a look.

Cracks above windows and doors shouldn’t always be dismissed as cosmetic.

When a steel lintel begins to corrode, the rust expands and puts pressure on the masonry above. This can lift the brickwork, open the mortar joints and leave individual bricks loose and potentially dangerous.

The risk can become even greater during window replacement, when the existing frame is removed and disturbed brickwork is left unsupported.

Warning signs include horizontal cracking, lifted or uneven brickwork, rust staining and loose mortar around the opening. If you notice any of these, it’s worth having the lintel and surrounding masonry properly assessed.

This one has now been made structurally secure and rebuilt correctly.
