For a 2,700 mm clear opening, add at least 150 mm of bearing at each end: the lintel needs to be at least 3,000 mm long. Then pick the type for the wall build-up and check the load in the manufacturer's table, or ask your engineer if the opening carries a floor or roof.

Getting lintels onto your Ammanford site

Lintels are long, so tell us about tight access. Shorter lintels can travel with a mixed load; long steel lintels are handled by hand or crane. Ammanford is inside our standard mainland delivery area.

• On busy streets in Ammanford, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
• Mention any overhead cables, low branches or narrow gateways, because they decide whether a crane offload is possible.
• Have someone on site for the delivery if you can, or agree a safe drop point with us in advance.

Before you order lintels

Steel or concrete?

Steel cavity lintels support both leaves and include insulation to limit cold bridging. Concrete lintels are simple and robust for single leaves and internal walls.

Do I need a cavity tray?

Over openings in cavity walls, water in the cavity has to be directed outwards. Many steel lintels need a separate cavity tray and stop ends; check the lintel maker's detail.

Wales has its own Approved Documents, including its own Part L for energy efficiency, and building control is handled by the local authority or a registered approver.
