Gold dust the detail in these vids. Thanks for your efforts, Stu

Great to see the fall arrest system within the building on this video, excellent succinct and clear. Brilliant content.

Top video stu, Top marks for doing a voice over after ya work even when ya appeared to be doing a running commentary on the day. impossible to do a full bang on commentary for a tutorial vid and have full focus on ya work with spot on results like ya do. Thumbs up, effort is seen and noticed for sure on this channel.

Spot on Stu. Looks very intricate and the finish is stunning. 👍🏾

Thanks for the videos Stu, my grandfather was a mason and I inspire to turn out like him one day

Fantastic tutor, a real gentleman. Every video is a gem.

I'm not a bricky so honest question. Are u saying u didn't have to put steel under the stone in the past so the stone was a structural part of the building? I'm assuming with steel under they are just a decorative feature rather than structural?

Hello. Love the video. Can I ask.. If I want to put a lintel on a single brick wall (Garage) do I still need some sort of DPC & weep holes? Thanks.

Hi Stu i think ur the best technical brickie on utube. I have a question only with ur experience can answer…I have my neighbours ground level 350mm above mine. The weep holes will need to go 150mm above my neighbours ground level on the external wall..but as my ground level is 350mm below neighbours ground level how would I position my cavity tray, weak mix between the cavity and insulation…?

how would you work the CAVITY TRAY ,DPC if the outside skin was block and you were using a concrete lintel,,cheers

what is the black cavity tray material called? could send its specs

Could anyone tell me if the DPC above the Cavity tray Lintel is a buildings reg requirement in the UK? Thanks in advance.

Does the same apply to concrete lintels?

Why use the dpc only over the lintel what happens in the cavity around the rest of the wall?

1923 brick and block 2 story home had all lintels warp and bow below soldiers (course above windows) creating a gap between lintels and soldier course. Would any blockage in cavity wall contribute to this? Lintels were changed out 25 years ago. One 1st floor window has water damage at ceiling. Wondering what caused this? Cavity wells were never installed 1923 and I'm pretty sure the 2nd time as well.

Hi stu I have been watching your videos for couple of weeks now and just wanting some advice I did three years in college bricklaying and haven't done it in years what would be the best way to get myself back into it thanks Paul

Bricklaying jobs uk Facebook page. You could just ask around, drive by sites. If your keen enough you will find something 👍

Do they not require fire socks were the jack wall is ?

Just a picky comment or query now: can you avoid resting the stone head on a half-brick at each side of the window opening - the vertical joint of the half-brick and the next brick lines up with the vertical joint of the head and the adjoining brickwork so you get two vertical joints connected together. If the window height allows it, could you lay out the bricks so the head rests on a full brick at each side and the vertical joints are always staggered?

John Gee Hi mate in response to you question of course it’s possible but you would need to change the bond which would look terrible or you could try to work out the bond from the very first course but chances are something else would be put out! First thing we do is set out the bond to make sure things fit and look right! And it looks to me like this is over a second story window! Also there isn’t much room to manoeuvre in terms of where doors and windows are placed, you usually don’t get to deviate from the plans too much you might get away with moving them 20mm to 30mm max if it means getting full stretches instead of 3/4 which look shit! A lot more to brickwork than people think ( to do it right anyway)

How do you make the mortar squidge out like that when you place a brick without it being really wet is it the plastisier ? Makes it easier to get the brick level and my mortar kept drying out dead quick

@stevehallam6495

maybe the bricks you were using were highly absorbant? dampen the bricks or don't spread a long bed if your struggling to get them down.

Just wondering where the insulation sits? Woukd it sit ontop of the cavity tray?

It does matter extending the tray too far beyond the lintel for other trades needing to put vents in for extractors or flues. 150mm bearing and 1st joint after for the tray

Does this have to be done on all lintels????

The weep holes only need to go around windows or not?

I like this video very informative Would be great if one day you could show the Correct way to cut the the tray at the bottom of a building on the corners where two separate trays meet and the laps get stuck together with the blue double side tape i struggle in these areas as I think many others do as they are quite complex Thanks Josh

Just stared my apprenticeship really needed this

I would do a water test after The brick has harden and this will clean the cavity tray out before you enclose the cavity. 🤠

Увек интересантно.Хвала.

I'm retired and quite right too but I noticed a bloke building a house down the road from me and he didn't put trays under the windows something I've always done infact it was insisted on by the building inspector .infact he told me lots of things have changed I said yes we had to build walls plumb and level . So can anyone shine a light on when this changed ?

Good to see how that's all done. Moral of the story is, if you fall out with your neighbour, glue their weep holes for slow revenge. 😂

Isnt it easier and quicker to use Preformed tray from Cavity Trays of Yeovil?

seems all our weep holes if they ever existed were rendered over during the build and I'm pretty sure we have water in the cavity

Would cutting the DPC on the lintel with the utility knife like that not cause a scratch in the galvanised coating on the lintel leading to early corrosion of the lintel? Should you not be placing a plank or similar on the lintel to protect it while cutting?

Chillax it's just a touch with the tip, will take a lot more to damage the surface

Sending apprentices and newbies off on nonsensical errands used to be part and parcel of any ( mostly male ) workplace, but I sometimes wonder if the P.C. police might be killing off. Or perhaps. most people today don't have enough wit and imagination to pull it off. Back in the late 60's - early 70's I used to work for a large motorcycle dealer in Perth, WA and the boys in the workshop were always sending new apprentices around the corner to a scooter dealership to see if they could borrow a couple of pounds of compression or a box of sparks. The bloke at the scooter place was in on the joke and would give the kid a sealed, but empty cardboard carton with some "compression" in it. The machinist in that workshop did his time at the WA Railways workshop and he told me that in the blacksmiths' shop, the favourite prank was to send a 1st year apprentice down to the steel store to get the key for the door of their big furnace. The key didn't exist, but the blokes at the steel store would give the kid a long and very heavy tool that they used to roll RSJ steel beams with. The poor little bugger would stagger all the way back to the blacksmith shop with the "key", only to be told he had the wrong one and would have to take it back! Even being aware of the possibility that you might be about become the victim of a practical joke can backfire on you. A mate of mine in Queensland used to work on a fettlers crew for Queensland rail. One day, he was out on the job helping to re-align some track when one of the crew asked him to drive back to the workshop and get the curve gauge. Thinking he was about to be the butt of joke, he just laughed at the bloke and jokingly told him to go and get you know what. A huge argument broke out that nearly ended in fisticuffs before my mate found out that railway tracks are slightly wider on the curves than they are on the straight bits and to check the extra width, you need a curve gauge - which is a real thing!

I know this is an old video, but wind poles are actually a thing now if you live in an exposed area and the reveals are less than 750mm. Another pain in the butt to think about.

So the lintel and soldier's are just cosmetic, the catnic does the real work, good to know. I've got a Victorian house and over my windows are soldiers with a very shallow curve, it's 9" solid wall, do you think there's a concrete lintel behind them or do you think they are structural?

almost certainly the shallow arch is structural with a timber lintel on the internal leaf unless it has already been replaced.

What do you do when cavity tray over a lintel is inside and the two walls are internal.?

@stevehallam6495

dont bother on internal walls. This is to filter rain penetration out of the cavity wall.

Water might come down anywhere not just the windows. You'll need lintels all around the house, with weep vents.

Stu in the video I can see the dividing wall and the concrete blocks connect with the thermalite block in the corner they haven’t been formed as a true corner just butted up together. Is this normal? Is there not a structural concern? Cheers

Hi Stu - I don't get it - is water MEANT to get in there? Or is that set up IN CASE water gets down into the cavity..?? And are soldiers for aesthetic reasons? Nice vid Stu!

@paulmcfadyen689

Water will get in...the outside skin is the "wet skin", and the inner skin is the "dry skin" the cavity is there so the water doesn't transfer from one to the other. Over windows and doors you need the cavity tray as when water passes through the "wet skin" if there was no cavity tray it would just come in through your window or door.

@TheTraditionalGolfer

It's where ever you have something bridging the cavity for example the lintel....It's amazing how nobody seems to properly understand what trays are for!!!! I've had to explain to fellow bricklayers before...even Stu fails to mention it's nothing to do with damp running down cavity....that's fine it will always do that but if it runs down lands on the lintel and then tracks back through to the internal skin you will get damp that's why trays goes over anything that bridges the cavity.... lintel,s radon at dpc, roof abutments etc that's why if you look at tie wires they have a drip half way along because they bridge the cavity if the water runs down them it will hit the drop and fall into the cavity rather than travel along and hit the internal skin...
