The Steel Lintel Replacement Procedure

Your safety and structural integrity are our top priorities during the steel lintel replacement process. To ensure a seamless experience, we begin by thoroughly assessing the affected area to determine the extent of damage and plan the replacement.

Once the area is prepped, our skilled technicians carefully remove the old or damaged steel lintel, ensuring the surrounding masonry remains intact. The new steel lintel is then expertly installed to provide reliable support for the structure above.

After installation, we finish the job by restoring the masonry around the lintel for a cohesive and polished look. Our team ensures the process is efficient and minimizes disruptions to your property.
