Build Bright
Добавлен 26 апр 2018
Build Bright specialise in lime mortar repointing, period brickwork repair and property restoration using traditional lime mortars and time served techniques.
Lime mortar repairs Replace - flaunching. Repair water damage to the building.
I put screws in the mortar joints, not the wall to help the flaunching have something to cling to.
The broken tile was used for packing the gap between the brickwork and wood. I then build this up in 25 mm stages, each over 48 hours.
I also put a small piece of dpc over the wood on the door frame.
Different mortars were used for the building and the flaunching.
I also fixed new lower batons and popped a few screws in where I could. And replaced a few broken tiles.

Job description: Clear cavities/ replace and repair damaged bricks and repoint using lime mortar. In this video I give a few tips on how to do this without the bricks dropping. I also deal with modern building damp solutions that were pointless in this case.

One has worked on lots of beautiful old houses but this one is kind of super cool. It is in my home town and is 200 years old. I think it originally had another cottage on the side of it and there was another row opposite the same. The ones opposite got taken down in the 1900s to make way for a Victorian property as did the ones to the left of the house I'm working on. The remaining Cottages ne...

A quick little video I put together to show some of the methods I use when repointing with NHL 3.5 and Wareham 4 mm sand. The first job is to remove a previous cement repoint without damaging the bricks.
👍
Good Job! The façade looks impressive.
Where are you based ?
Great job! Can I ask what you used for the raking out of the joints?
Hello, first of all stunning finish to the job. Can i ask what mix of sand did you use? Plastering/sharp/soft sand? Also what is the finish you used is that flush? Did you achieve that with a churn brush? Thankyou 👍
Hi, I have to do very similar job, but need to install air Rick instead old imperial. I couldn’t find any information on the web as to how to install air bricks into solid brick wall of an old house. I am planing to install additional two air brick at the front of the bay wall due to damp issues. One is already there placed in the middle. It is a solid brick wall house was built back in 1900. My question, due to structural integrity reasons do I need to install lintel when installing air brick. Wall is pretty thick, more than 200 mm. Would appreciate any advice really. Many thanks.
I need to replace a few bricks during my repoint. Can I use the same lime pointing mix to set the new bricks in place? I feel like that mix needs to be stronger somehow
What mix are you using? I use the same mix for pointing and setting new bricks. I of course adjust the stiffness to suit laying rather than pointing. Don't forget to damp the bricks down.
@@buildbright haven't decided yet, speaking to my local limeworks now. My house is built with industrial coal ash lime mortar so its really difficult matching an appropriate mortar to it. Its not about colour matching its more about ensuring the right material that would work with original coal ash mortar. NHL 3.5 is potentially unsuitable, quicklime with wood ash added is close but would still make a different mix to the original mortar.
@@buildbright Could really do with some advice to be honest. After weeks of back and forth between whether its going to be NHL or limeputty, i'm now thinking of using LaFarge NHL 3.5, 0-4mm sharp sand and 0-2mm sharp sand using a ratio of 1 - 2 - 0.5. My house was originally made with coal ash mortar, im thinking of adding a small cup of coal clinker to each mix. First time repointing, im not a builder.
Can this be done internally for a wall adjoining a neghbours property.
Same issue here
🙏
Great job done …. Could you let me now the mix ratio please ?
Ice job👍
How much will Cost to be done thanks
Out of interest what could I expect to pay to get done from a local builder? A house I'm looking at buying need this done too all external walls, damp pretty bad. The house is only a small 2/3 bed around 72 SQ M
What mix did you use mate looks great
nice work
beautiful result
wow, easy to get mortar out, why do people use 10mm grinding discs if that easy with small cut through centre
I wish I’d known about you last year. The builder we used, who was recommended to us by friends, ruined the front of our house. He ground off a few mls from the edge of every brick when removing old lime mortar. Now our wall has tiny bricks and huge courses of mortar. It was such a pretty house and now it’s ruined. I almost feel like crying when I look at it. We tried so hard to get it done right. We made sure to get a guy who was highly recommended and was experienced in using lime mortar, and we were willing to pay the price for proper work. He still destroyed our house. He also left mortar smeared all over the brickwork. To try to minimise the damage I’m going to have to try to clean the brickwork myself this summer, and will tint the mortar to age it and minimise its impact. As it is right now, it looks like a sloppily made 1970s shed with 15mm mortar courses, instead a beautiful Victorian home which once had courses half that thick. Just to clarify - the cowboy who ruined our brickwork is NOT the chap in this video. His work looks beautiful. For all the homeowners out there. Please, be more careful than careful. We thought we’d done everything right, and still our house was destroyed. Having to pay the vandal of a builder for the privilege of a ruined house makes it all the worse. If I had all the money in the world, I’d get the front of the house rebricked, since that’s the only way to repair the damage done. When we finally get the rear wall of our house done, I’ll be looking for someone who does careful work like you did here. It looks lovely. Do you cover Shropshire?
Look at tuck pointing. You will find that it will make the beds/joints between the bricks smaller. It’s absolutely stunning skilled stuff. I am a bricklayer and do a lot of repointing but I can not do tuck pointing. Very very skilled.
I really need to do this, I’m a DIY-er what’s the worst that could happen do you have the full video with best products to use?
Really nice work. What's your opinion on water repellent creams and inserted rods when it comes to an old wall which is constantly being splashed by passing traffic in wet weather? Also, do you ever come as far out as Kent?
Where are u based ? Your website doesnt work??
That's some beautiful work right there.
Hi there, would you advise to put cavity insulation back in? If so could it go below dpc? I’m asking as I have done this job and a builder has told me it could cause cold bridges… your opinion would be lovely cheers
Excellent work
Great job👍would u mind sharing what mix your using pls ?
I have some flaking bricks in my loft, i want to repoint with lime once a roofer has come to fix the leak in the chimney, any recommendations with which lime mix to use? how can i stop the bricks from flaking so much that the fall out? can i put lime mortar over them? thank you in advance for your help. P.S. not a builder but a home owner
Do you do work up north?
You could teach the so called Skillbuilder a lot he seems to like drilling and sticking stupid sealants in , but he is famous so we’re supposed to trust him !!!!
how much did you charge for this job, break down labour and material costs also, when was the job done and how long did it take? lime motor and sand mix ratios etc
No disrespects, that my friend is called trade secrets!
It looks pretty darn good to me
I’m sovereign main contractor for Buckingham northhampton area good to see this content just gonna watch now
Knock the house down!
I employed a so-called dampproofing firm to take out the old wall ties and refit new ones. I heard a lot of smashing of bricks and I went out to see what was going on. The workmen were smashing every brick into the cavity and I told them I wanted the bricks cut out with an angle grinder, they said the morter was too hard and that was the only way they could do it. I had to clean out the bridged cavities to retrieve the rubble they had filled it with.
There is not a morta on earth that cannot be removed with the correct blade in a grinder, These worker were to lazy to do the job right.
@@penman1289 You are correct, there are so many people working as tradesmen, but when it comes to doing the job they haven't a clue. they missed loads of bad wall ties because they just didn't know how to find them. I ended up fitting the ties myself and cleaning up their mess.
@@SloopyDog so true I've been stung with cowboys in the past. So annoying!!
@@andyjardine8192 All I seem to get these days is cowboys. They see I am getting on in years and they try to shaft me. I had my own building business before I retired and I have forgotten more than they will ever know about building. I have yet to find a decent builder or roofer in my area. They all talk a good game but when it comes to doing the job their lack of skill shines through. There are a few decent plasterers about but they charge the earth and are very hard to get.
Where are you located? How to get in touch with you?
Looks great.
Quality workmanship 🔥👍
Nice work. Would it not be worth dropping the patch by a bricks height , or would this be ok long term ?
What do you do if the bricks above start to drop ?
This new video will be of interest to you. Prevention is always better than the cure. :) ruclips.net/video/0zRACxKThnY/видео.html
they won't. they corbel or pyramid
Quality workmanship 🔥👍
Very nice job
And the old mortar is bone dry
Exactly what I would have done , so that must make it perfect . Nice job ,well done.
So, did you fix it?
Looks great!!!
That wall looks like it needs pointing
So the problem was caused by the original builders Inserting 75/100 mm Insulation between the outer and inner doesn't make sense to me as you are stopping airflow.. Creating issues for the future...all self induced
there's no insulation . nine inches wall in lime 😋
Do you cover the Manchester area?
What area do you cover? You should put your number on your videos 🙂👍
3 bed mid terraced house damp walls by the entry side into my hall walls , what to do ? Thanks
I bet they've had a bit of repointing done in cement of the years. mid terraced houses are usually lime mortar. but that's a guess as I can't see your house
@@martingaynor5017 would doing this works on my house and am I better doing it inside rather than outside of house ( where the moulds are ) thank you
Excellent work. I did this to the rear of my house and you should have seen how much debris came out... Even a dead bird and an old chisel when the house was built (1935). Unfortunately when you come to sell the property the survey will come back and say "lack of ventilation"... Would you install an air brick to avoid this sort of "comment" or not?
Buy yourself a plugging chisel. Don't. Use your fingers
