Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: Can you replace a steel lintel?
A: Yes, you can, but it is not a job for the average DIYer. Steel lintel replacement is a time-consuming, dirty, and invasive job best left to the professionals.
Q: Do you need permission to replace a lintel?
A: Generally speaking, yes, you do, especially if you will need to replace any masonry or concrete, which nearly all lintel replacements will require. The proper permit costs about $100. Rely on the professional team at Wall Removal Experts Perth to apply for the correct permit and get the job done quickly!
Q: How much does it cost to replace a rusted lintel?
A: This would depend on the size of the lintel, the type of material the lintel is made of, and how much repair work to the walls will be necessary. You can expect to pay anywhere between $100 and $1200, with the average price being about $500.
Q: How often do lintels need to be replaced?
A: While a steel lintel can last for decades, many factors will go into how long the lintel will remain undamaged. General wear and tear, age, the material, the original installation, and even the condition of the building will all factor into how long a lintel will last. In most cases, you can expect a steel lintel to last about 10-20 years.
Q: What happens if I just let a lintel rust in place?
A: Lintels rust due to faulty installation or due to cracks in the concrete or stucco. This means that water has been allowed to saturate the lintel. If left untreated, the lintel will form layers of rust, the concrete will continue to break down, fall apart, and worse yet, the lintel will also eventually collapse. So don’t take those rust spots on lintels above windows and doorways for granted! Make that call now!
