Quantities: a worked example

For a 2,400 mm clear opening, add at least 150 mm of bearing at each end: the lintel needs to be at least 2,700 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.

Delivery to Dumfries and Galloway: what helps

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 Dumfries and Galloway.

• If neighbours share the access, it helps to let them know a lorry is coming.
• Mention any overhead cables, low branches or narrow gateways, because they decide whether a crane offload is possible.
• Tell us the best drop point, such as a driveway, front garden or the kerb, and whether a lorry can park close to it.

Choosing 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.

In Scotland most building work needs a building warrant from the local authority, assessed against the Building Standards Technical Handbooks.

Ordering lintels for Dumfries and Galloway: FAQs

Can I add other materials to my Dumfries and Galloway delivery?

Yes. Put everything on one list, from lintels to fixings and PPE, and we will price it as one delivery where the products can travel together.

Do you deliver lintels to trades and homeowners in Dumfries and Galloway?

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

Can you tell me which lintel to use?

We can suggest options from the manufacturers' load tables based on the opening, wall type and load you describe, but for anything structural the final choice should come from your designer or engineer, and be approved through the council's building standards service.

Are steel lintels insulated?

Cavity wall steel lintels usually have insulation inside to cut heat loss at the opening. Single-leaf and box lintels may not.
