Lintel Repair Kit (for small windows or doors)

The Strucsol Short Lintel Repair Kit is designed to support brickwork over openings up to 1.0m wide

This engineer-approved and tested lintel repair kit is backed by method statements and provides a quick, effective way to support failing short lintels. It is designed for brickwork around windows and doors where support has been lost or needs reinforcement.

Applications

Support brickwork where structural timber or steel door frames originally provided support and have since been replaced by non-load-bearing PVC frames. This kit is aimed specifically at newly installed UPVC doors and small windows where:

• Existing angle steel lintels have failed
• There is no existing lintel and the brickwork has dropped as a result

NOTE: If your lintel is wider than 1m, choose one of the repair kits below:

Window Lintel Repair Kit (Resin)

Window Lintel Repair Kit (Grout)

Benefits

The kit removes the need for expensive helical wire lintels or the disruption caused by retrofitting an angle steel or Catnic lintel.

Unsupported bricks are mechanically fixed to the brickwork and supported by the corbelling action above the frame, helping restore immediate strength to the opening.

Installation

• Use the extra-long drill bit supplied with the kit to drill from the underside of the opening up to the brickwork supported by the corbelling action of the wall. See our video for a visual explanation of this.
• Insert the 10mm diameter Strucsol Ties into the install tool.
• Use the hammer action of the drill to drive the ties into the pilot hole, locking the brickwork together.
