Lintels

If windows are replaced/to be replaced- If lintels are required, would the window fitter do this or would I need to source another trades person for this? We need new windows for our home and likely need lintels but before I ring around/shop for quotes - wanted to check with so I was prepared. Am aware there will be additional cost for lintels if required on top of the windows and installation
Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

As a sash window fitter myself, I would advise getting a general builder or a bricklayer to have a look for you.

It depends. Have you got timber windows coming out? Is there a soldier course above the window and are the arched heads? Generally, I wouldn't say you need a lintel unless the window was huge.
