    New Lintel Required

    I have noticed a line of bricks above the 2nd floor window are about 1cm from the layer directly above, s this requiring a lintel? Is this a big job, how long does it take. Should a bricklayer have special skills to do the work and guarantees and finally would it be best to have both windows on the same level have new lintels added. Do the windows have to be removed if so is a bricklayer or window fitter best for the job. Halesowen Area, West Midlands

    Do pavers fade?

    In general, for how long does the colour last in pavers usually? Does it depend on the quality of the product? How can you keep the colour for longer? How can you add colour back to it when the colour begins to fade with time? Are there any specific products or methods I should considering using?
