Changing window opening size

[jayc89]

I have a couple of bay windows, approx 2m x 1m in size. I want to change them back to sliding sash windows, which, coincidently are approx 1m x 2m in size, so I have some brickwork to contend with.

 

 

I have a couple of acrows and strong boys, what's the best way of approaching this? I'm thinking;

- Strongboys just above the new lintel location

- Install new lintel

- Knock out new opening brickwork between new and existing lintels

- Remove window and brick up sides

- Remove existing lintel and patch up
