Loose brickwork between first floor windows.

[Ian H]

I've got some loose brickwork between a bedroom and bathroom window.

The walls on the inside are bare brick and solid.

I'm thinking the wall ties might have failed so plan to pull that section of wall down and rebuild it. Which wall ties should I use when building it back up?

I've seen these at Toolstation which I would guess were the right ones but thought I'd best check:

I used some bluebird screw-in wall ties, available for solid and cavity walls (different length)... just another suggestion... probably much of muchness

Fish tail ones, I have some of those but they seem a little short for crossing the cavity so are probably the solid wall ones. I didn't realise they came in different lenths so cheers for the tip

Drill and fix helical SS ties with resin.

You can't rely on a brown plug holding the wall in

Are they DIY'able Woody?

 

[^woody^]

Drill a hole, squirt in some resin, push in a tie.

Can you put up a shelf?

 

[Ian H]

I can knock one down.

 

[^woody^]

That will do

This is the section of wall, not sure why it's got that bad, any ideas?
