Estimating your lintels

For a 3,000 mm clear opening, add at least 150 mm of bearing at each end: the lintel needs to be at least 3,300 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 Derbyshire 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. Our standard mainland delivery area covers Derbyshire.

• Tell us the best drop point, such as a driveway, front garden or the kerb, and whether a lorry can park close to it.
• On busy streets in Derbyshire, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
• Give us the full postcode for the drop point; deliveries around DE are priced to the exact address.

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.

Which lintel for my opening?

Measure the clear opening, add the end bearing each side, and note the wall type (cavity width, inner and outer leaf) and what sits above. Manufacturers publish load tables; for anything carrying a floor, roof or point load get an engineer or building control to confirm.

In England, building work is checked against the Approved Documents, for example Part A for structure and Part L for energy efficiency, through your council's building control team or a registered building control approver.

Common questions from Derbyshire

Do you deliver lintels to Derbyshire?

Yes. We deliver across Derbyshire, including DE, S, NG, SK. Our standard mainland delivery area covers Derbyshire. Send your list or call 0800 088 6341 and we will price it delivered to your postcode.

Do I need building control approval for a new lintel?

Making or widening an opening in a loadbearing wall is structural work, so in most cases yes. Building control or an engineer will confirm the lintel.

Do you deliver lintels to trades and homeowners in Derbyshire?

Both. Trades can apply for a trade account; homeowners and self-builders can order on a delivered quote.

Can lintels be delivered with my blocks?

Yes. We combine them on one lorry where the lengths and the route allow.
