Steel & Concrete Lintels delivered to Merthyr Tydfil

Choosing from our lintels range

• Steel cavity wall lintelsInsulated galvanised lintels that support both leaves of a cavity wall.
• Heavy-duty and extra-heavy lintelsFor openings carrying floors or a lot of masonry.
• Single-leaf and box lintelsFor solid walls, timber frame and internal walls.
• Cavity trays and stop endsTo shed water out of the cavity over openings.

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.

Before your Merthyr Tydfil delivery arrives

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. Merthyr Tydfil is inside our standard mainland delivery area.

• Deliveries are to the kerb, drive or within crane reach; ask if materials need to go further.
• Give us the full postcode for the drop point; deliveries around CF47 are priced to the exact address.
• If the site is up a shared drive or behind other houses, tell us the distance from the road.

Things to check before you order

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.

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.

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.

Steel & Concrete Lintels questions

Is there a minimum order for delivery to Merthyr Tydfil?

There is no fixed minimum. For very small orders we will tell you honestly if the delivery cost outweighs the materials, so you can decide.

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 building control.

How long should a lintel be?

The clear opening plus the end bearing at each side, typically at least 150 mm per end. Check the manufacturer's table for your lintel.
