Abstract
To minimise any risk of structural movement or collapse, care is needed in the selection and positioning of temporary support for works to openings in external walls. This guide shows how to provide temporary support for walls, floors and roofs when replacing lintels or creating or enlarging openings. The guidance applies only to traditional housing of solid or cavity brick or brick/block wall construction, with wooden floors and typical pitched purlin roofs.
