The centre under renovation, blocks in Bałuty

City-centre tenements are renovated one by one, and a lot of the work involves metal. Knocking through or widening an opening in a load-bearing wall needs a steel lintel, and that's a job for a structural engineer who calculates the beam and a pro who sets it in place. Smaller things, like a rusted grille on a cellar window or a torn-off hinge on the courtyard gate, are typical work for a welder.

In Widzew and Bałuty, blocks of flats mostly mean balconies. A railing cracked at the fixing, mesh coming loose, rust at the welds. A balcony in a block is often a common part of the building, so ask the cooperative whether you can repair it yourself. Write the floor in the job and add close-up photos, because that decides whether the welder can manage from a ladder.

Questions about welding in Łódź

Will a welder make a lintel without a design?

A lintel in a load-bearing wall should be calculated by a structural engineer. The welder makes and fits the beam to the design. Say in the job whether you already have one.

Is the balcony in my block mine or the cooperative's?

It depends on the building. For repairs to the balcony structure the building manager usually decides; for small things like adding a bracket it's more likely you. Ask before you post the job.
