Double Glazing, Lintel, Sagging brickwork

Hi all
Some advice would be very much appreciated.
I have just had my whole house double glazed and overall I am pleased
with the job. When the owner of the company came round to measure up
etc, he reccomended I have 2 lintels put in where it was obvious they
were required (windows just had soldier course above). I had this
done, no problem (by father) prior to the windows going in. The owner
also mentioned that the kitchen window might need a lintel but said it
should be ok and left it at that, he certainly didn't reccomend I put
one in.
So now all the windows are done, the bricks above the kitchen window
have dropped leaving a 2 inch gap about 4 courses up and are generally
skew wiff, with evidence of the fitters trying to patch up. If left I
think I will see a collapse.
Now my immediete reaction is the double glazing company should foot the
bill for putting this right as they should have noticed the problem
when removing the old window. However, they say I should sort it out
and they will replace any trims I damage..................
Remediating this is certainly a day's work for my father, and with the
potential of up to 12 courses coming out in a triangle. If I was a
little old lady who didn't have a bricky father, what would the company
do!?
Your opinions are sought...............
