    Nice video! Recently I found out the same problem on the first floor where there is no much headroom for brickwork due to the layout of the roof. The windows are shaking like a leaf no support above them, rooms overtaken by damp all around the revels, absolutely disaster. Being moving about 4 tons of plastering sand to deal with it but the main problem are those missing lintels. Many thanks.

    So the old flashing was lead, and the new one is some sort of plastic material? Thanks for the video, I stumbled on it by accident, but a family member recently had a similar issue on their house as he lintel was rusted severely and required replacing as it begun to sag and a few mortar gaps between bricks began to crack. This helped me understand the layout around windows, thanks

  • @georgedoherty962
    @georgedoherty962 2 года назад +14

    I was one of the brickies who built over the frames without catnics. We asked for the catnics but the builders, said no, because the engineers gave this design the OK. We knew it was going to give trouble when the wooden window framed started to perish. Many brickies, like the ones in my gang, just walked away after a few pairs of houses because not only did the builder skimp on the proper material they also skimped on our money..
    Most of this started in the early 70s but I recall wimpy still doing this in the early 90s. Cheap move but again, please do not blame the brickies.

    Why is the acroprop removed while mortar still wet is it not best to wait for the mortar to dry so that the brickwork can act under compresion again, if wet would there not be a likelyhood that the same crack will develop as this is the weakest part of the building until dry?

      Generally if you can't insert the tray into the whole of the inner leaf you would face fix the tray. It's sealed to the inner face with a thick double sided tape and mechanically fixed with a plastic hammer fixings through a strap. It's a standard Ruberoid and Visqueen method/ system. Turning up the ends of a tray don't actually comply with the British Standards which states preformed stop ends adhered to the tray should be used. It's all these little things that add cost though.

    From the USA. I have to agree with Krtek 6. From the appearance and the ease of handling/installation of the new "lintel" it doesn't appear to be much different in strength/size/weight from the one being replaced. A repair in the US would us either 3/8" or 5/16" primed 4 inch by 4 inch angle iron utilizing threaded rods/nuts drilled and epoxied into the existing masonary as a lintel.

    • @Kazalwe
      @Kazalwe 2 года назад +1

      The outer leaf of a cavity wall is non - load bearing (it serves largely to protect the inner leaf against moisture and temperature variations). The load supported is only the triangle of brickwork above the opening. In the video we can see that there is no lintel only a (lead) cavity tray. The tray is intended to throw any water that gets into the cavity against the outer leaf and protect the window or door below from moisture build up. The tray is non - structural and will not support the brickwork over an opening of this size. As lead is malleable it will move with time, hence the cracking above.

    My Dad needs a lintel replacing because the previous home owner smashed the double doors out and replaced them with bigger sliding doors, obviously it wouldn't fit so they've just smashed the brwk/bwk back to accommodate the doors. So now the lintel is only holding on about 30-45mm on each side. I've never worked with acrows/strongboys before. I'd be comfortable doing it if it was an older build with those L shaped lintels like you replace, but unfortunately it's a catnic lintel and I don't dare mess with it. Have you got any videos with those kind of lintels?

    To be honest it's not shocking and very common ,the original windows were load bearing and didn't need a lintol ,what is shocking is cowboy window fitters have been going around the country replacing these windows without installing load bearing windows or lintols.Window fitting isn't a trade they wouldnt have a clue yet we are the ones that have to have a CSCS Card 😁 Nice job 👌

    A good mason will never disturb a brick after it is laid in the bed course without removing it entirely and putting in a new bed. Otherwise the brick will not bond.

    I say it this L shape roof panel and rubber is not need at all. This sheet used it not have any structural strength. And it why are you expect it rains from within inside between walls that you would use this rubber to collect water ? :) I would put strong T shape metal piece upside down and make a groove along the center of the bricks with angle grinder so it brick will sit on strong metal support. It after first layer complete I would put insulation back together and finish another bricks. When It all bricks cured there will be an air gap between window and that T shape metal piece I would fill this gap with foam and finish gap with rubber window sealant so it hide the foam work.
