What are lintels?
Essential to the structural integrity of buildings, lintels are load-bearing structural support above openings of the property, such as windows and doorways. These can be made from various materials such as steel, timber, concrete, or brick. Lintels also vary in shape, especially when made from steel. Commonly used lintels are flat, arched, “T” or “L” shaped bars. Previously, lintels made from steel were not galvanised, therefore, not protected against moisture and rust.
When do Lintels Need to be Repaired or Replaced?
Tell-tale signs of lintels requiring replacement or repairs include the following:
- Cracks in your plaster or brickwork (from the corners of the openings)
- Rust spots on paint or plaster
- Peeling paint on the lintel or areas around it
- Flaking metal
- Warping, expansion of the lintels
- Lifting or separation of the lintel from the surrounding brickwork
- Water ingress
When left untreated, rust, and further deterioration can occur, this affects the load-bearing ability of the lintels, potentially leaving you with substantial damage and an unsound structure.
Whether the lintel needs to be repaired or replaced will depend on the extent of the damage. If you have observed any tell-tale signs, Timeless Restorations can assess the area and provide you with our recommendation. If the damage to the lintels only requires a repair, the area will be treated remedially with strategically placed steel rods. If the lintels require replacement, we will replace them with galvanised lintels that are protected against rusting. When the lintel has been treated or replaced, the brickwork will be restored, including brick-and-mortar-matching for seamless and timeless perfection.

James Graham26/10/2023I have had Ashley from Timeless Restorations rebuild the outside wall and render the in side wall of my house were an old aircon had been removed. He was very professional and nothing was to much bother I would highly recommend him and his team
Tim Massey26/10/2023Professional. Reliable. Reasonable. Nikolai and Ashley were skilled, generous with knowledge and advice and worked to a high standard. They showed up on time and were easy to deal with. They diagnosed a long standing wall crack problem, replaced a rusted out lintel and repaired sections of a house wall for me and also advised about and repaired sections of a brick boundary wall around my 1930s residence. Their quotes were also competitive. Highly recommend.
Car Man16/10/2023Ashley and his team worked on the side wall of my old post war home in October 2023. The render had been bubbling and coming off for a while due to the weather and bricks were crumbling. The plan was to strip the render and tidy up for the new render. I don't know anything about this work but I could not fault them. It looks so beautiful seeing the red brick underneath. Ashley was lovely and easy to deal with, the work was completed below expected price in the end and it was all cleaned up with no mess. They could have continued to charge me the full price in the quote, I would have been none the wiser but testament to his honesty he reduced the price. I cannot recommend these guys more highly. Please consider them for any jobs. I'm planning on using Ashley again to tuck point and repair the front of my home.
Matthew Viveiros24/09/2023Had the guys doing some repair work last week on my front wall , ran into some issues out of anyone’s control , they were very helpful with the whole situation and provided solutions. The work they carried out was of a high standard. Highly recommend
