We have a double garage with 2 single doors. Each door opening has a lintel above. How much would it cost (roughly) to knock the divider out and put a longer lintel in for a larger garage door?

Any issues with it Alan? I assume it's just a case of propping and pulling out the bricks. Then a new garage door!
