Thanks boys appreciate it man, that hair is slowly disappearing, I’m taking that compliment 🤣😍 yeah mate, this ep was on a Saturday, i only had the labourer for a few hours and the rest I done by myself. Killer day, I’m not built like the flying dutchmen. I need a labourer 🤣
Hi Helen, I dont know the exact name. We were labour only on this project so we didn’t have anything to do with ordering materials. I’ve just had a quick look online and found pretty much the same brick, it’s called Northcot Facing Brick Cherwell Heritage 73mm. Hope that helps Helen 🙂
@@CraigToddBrickwork Thank you Craig that’s actually incredibly helpful as they look identical to our original brick, just need to find the right price now 😬. Thanks for taking the time to answer me. Keep up the great work, love the videos. 😊🧱
Great question, if depends on the build really. If the bricks are 83 mm gauge we build the blockwork first so that the wall tie hight work with the brick course. The ties on the blockwork are every 450mm in hight which wont work with the brickwork size. So we build it first. However if its 75mm brickwork this works with blockwork gauge so we build the brickwork first. To throw a spanner in the works, new building regs require solid fill insulation that is clipped to the blockwork, which means the blockwork needs to be built first regardless of the brickwork gauge otherwise the insulation couldn’t be clipped to the blockwork if the brickwork was built first. Also tie spacings are every 450mm in hight and 225mm in hight in openings and un bonded jams (example, peaks) and horizontally spacings are every 600mm and need the be staggered. So your 2nd set of ties will be in the middle of your ties below, to make a diamond pattern if you like. Hope that helps 🙂
@@traditionalbricklayer really 😬 I thought it would be have been quite the norm every where to be honest. Yeah we just ring our guy up before 1pm and he drops what ever you want, min of 1 tub. Total time saver, more expensive to buy but the labour you save on mixing up, setting up a mixer etc and the cleaning up after, outweighs the coat by far ❤️
There SHOULD be a LARGE air space gap in-between the face of the insulation and the OUTER WALL inside the cavity-wall; this includes an air space gap in-between the face of the insulation and the cavity-wall-tie drip point which should be in the centre of the cavity. Ask N.V.Q. BRICKWORK teachers for PROOF of this ! With the cavity-wall being bridged with insulation (insulation touching the outer walls), moisture will travel from the outer wall through the bridging insulation to the inner wall !
I’ve done my time, its changed since then. You going to scream that to the bloke inspecting your work which is wrong to the specs on the drawings because its not nvq. Behave mate
I too am binge watching, addictive compulsive viewing ! great instruction if yer thinking of building yer own extension👍
Cheers man mate, I’m really pleased you enjoy the channel 🤩
Great video Craig and nice haircut, good to see you using the wheelbarrow 💪🧱

Hi, looks great, could you let me know the name of the bricks please as they look very similar to our original bricks. Thank you.

you're welcome helen :D glad I was able to help. It's been a while since your comment, hopefully you found a good price on them :)
Nice little job
Yeah mate, it was a canny one 🙂
What determined your dpc height on the extension do you go to finish floor level on the existing house or just courses with house? Thanks
Do you normally build an outer leaf first and then the inner leaf or there isn't a particular order ? How far apart do you put the tie rods ?

Nice job mate. Do you have readymix mortar?
Thanks mate appreciate that 🤝 yeah we use always ready mix, rare we knock up in the mixer
@@CraigToddBrickwork We cant get it down my way. It must be a great time saver. Ive actually had a pang of jealousy 🤣

These are new building regs, ask Building Controle 👍
The real building standards require the necessary large air space gap,.@@CraigToddBrickwork

@@CraigToddBrickwork Straight up, the air space gap is essential.
👍
Anthor good video and top work mate keep smashing them in 🧱👌
Cheers dan, I’m glad your enjoying them mate 🙂 really appreciate you coming back to see how we are getting on 🤝
