i wish to install a pvc window in the gable end wall for my

loft question is do i need a lintel above the window ,

the window is 645mm X745mm.

including the cill and what are the regs on this

sort of thing thanks



What's the construction and thickness of the wall?

outer layer standard brick with a 70mm cavity and iner layer standard brick

Yes, you'll need Building Regs approval for the structural opening and for
the
window itself. You're not going to use the loft as a room are you? yes
sort of computer room
If so
you'll need to do a lot more work, like strengthening the floor (already
had permission for the floor and it has been approved
and providing
Means of Escape in case of fire etc etc
..well would this not be the window

You should also talk to Planning, esp if you're in a conservation area or
if the
window overlooks next door, and ask them if they need an application.
Give them
a few more details than you've put on here though!
