Hi fella Got a fireplace no lintel.About 115cm wide opening. Should i use a strong boy. The whole thing has sat on a piece of formica since i bought house 25 years ago. Iv proped it with timber at moment.intend putting in lintel. Cheers
This is a good video. What is the plan if you are doing a 12" think wall ? I'm planning on putting two doorways into one ? Max opening would be 5 ft so was going to use 2 strongboys or steel bars and acrow both sides .
Hi Leighton, sorry for the late response. Same setup but your steel needs to be an adequate size to support the 12" brick work. Acow prop and support from both sides, making sure you can negotiate the steel between the acrow props. Hope this information is helpful, regards Rob pilkington Dream Home Renovations.
Hi Paul, sorry for the late reply. Put the steal in the approximate position before putting acrow props in then insert the strong boys and acrow props, take down wall and lift steal into position. Sometimes if you have the room, you can weave the steal in-between the acrow props. Thank you Rob pilkington Dream home renovations.
Would you think if might be OK to use acro props with scaffold board above to suport ceiling joists of a bungalow during external wall knockthrough, without removing the ceiling plasterboard or will the plasterboard compress under the weight of the roof load? Thinking it be safer to rip ceiling plasterboard down and run the scaff board directly under the joists, then do knock through and fit new rsj under the existing wallplate..
Hello Stephen. The acrow props should be 900ml apart. The amount of props you use purely depends on the size of the area. Minimum of 2. Thankyou for your message and interest 😊
Dont think it's necessary to tighten up that much, more likely to get a hairline crack up the wall above when dropping the acrow if you lift it too much on an extension knock through so you'll end up owing the customer a pointing job

Hi mate, yes so the full knock through including building regulations and structural calculations along with the steals and labour for this particular job with cross steals would cost in the region of £3,800. Thankyou
I searched for strong boys and this video didn't disappoint 🥰
Thanks mate your video the best showing how to attach acrow prop with strong boy. All the other videos missing out this very important detail
You are welcome Eddy, thankyou for watching mate 👍
Thankyou for your views and comments 🙂

Try it
Thanks for the helpful video - how many acrows do you need to hold up the wall (what is the max span between acrows)? Cheers

Other videos on our channel are linked to this in stages of the job which will help you further, Thanks Rob.
Was that about half a turn after it was hand tight ?

The boss asked me for a strong boy so I wedged my self in

How much does a wall knock like that cost?
Hi mate, yes so the full knock through including building regulations and structural calculations along with the steals and labour for this particular job with cross steals would cost in the region of £3,800. Thankyou
We just had one done for £2400. Pretty much identical to this. I would look about for sure!
I DARE YOU TO SAY THAT AGAIN.
If the bottom floor is not strong enough it all goes down.
