Moving door Frame

[Bahco]

I need to move the door frame by about 8 inches to the right and need to know if this will be ok.

As you see there is a concrete lintel which will need to be supported if you can advise. The wall itself is non load bearing and it is just the lintel I need to be advised on.

Thanks

This is a spot the lintel competition.

The lintel is directly above the door and is a moulded concrete one that was done when built. I can see it!

I have decided that it will be too much trouble to change the lintel so am going to move the fridge out.

Careful, fridges can be heavy. I find that they can be much easier to manoeuvre by drinking any beer that you find inside

Er... This concrete lintel you can see .... What's it resting on on the R/H side? Seems to be a plank and a load of pipework in the way. Are you sure it's a lintel and not just rendering?
