[fastneattrowel]

back track? what you mean by that, no i said even if iam laying concretes read the answer instead of being wrapped up in a bubble living the life of a site agent lol, hey next time iam on a site and laying a outer skin with mixed materials and the agent says i dont want that shall i say its ok noseall said it dont matter lol

 

[fastneattrowel]

anyway its disgusting closures and cuts in the wall looks like a chancer built it , and you thought it was great lmao

when you have sobered up, would you care to point out where i thought it was "great"?

stoned cold sober

Fatnumptytrap, have you got an answer regarding the OP's original question?

And if you do have a comment on the work in general, can you cite the relevant standard or technical document to back up what you are stating?

And "if iam laying concretes we aint allowed to put a flitton in" is not really a technical reason to back up your comment. That would be a local decision by the person running the job, and not actually a standard.

It would be helpful if you actually stated something relevant and in context, so as not to confuse people who know less than you.

I take it that's a no then?

Par for the course

For tieing into the thermalites, use a helical tie and knock these in where required in line with the bed joints of the new work - no need to match/level the courses.

Or block bond the new work

Why has that cavity been cut out in the last picture? There was no need to do that - and it looks like you have created your problem unnecessarily and introduced a weak point into the wall as well.

Edit

And it looks like the soffit/verge has crossed the property boundary too, for which you would require permission from the neighbour

Whats flittons ? and if its the normal brick in the denser celcon block whats the problem ? Cavity was cut out otherwise external would be bridged with internal ??, The out side blockwork was a more dense block for tile hanging on batterns and permission granted by neighbour ? cant see the problem and all im asking is a good method to strength whats already there. Whats block bond ?

What are closures?

What are closures?

a piece of brick sometimes known as "king" or "queen" used to fill in an irregular space not big enough for a full size or half brick, which will get the course back in bond.

For block bond see www.diynot.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=124328 - this was a time when fakenottrue actually gave sensible answers

Yes, generally a vDPC is inserted where an outer wall becomes an inner wall like in this instance. But, in doing so you have created a bigger problem, so on the basis that moisture would be very unlikely to have got to the inside, then its the lesser of two evils to have left the wall as it was and just butted up with the croc clips

But they are not closures.

I learned brickwork in the classroom as well as on site, there you are taught what king and queen closers are used for. Any bricklayer who is C&G would know this. Just shows fnit isn't.

What he was alluding to, as a C&G bricklayer I would call quarter bats

I also spent 3 years at college doing advanced craft city and guilds and where i was taught it is known as a closure (perhaps its a regional thing)

Also NHBC won't allow brick and block to be mixed (if different materials) on external walls if rendered (in this instance not the case as its to be tiled) because the render will dry at different rates and possibly cause cracking (this is from personal experince where we used cinder block and concrete commons)

Also quite right no less than half bricks up the reveals

Bongo, I think your best bet is to block bond the corner, then its properly tied and secure
