That’s crazy. A two brick pier is bad enough against two doorways but an expansion joint in between, won’t be long before all the joints start cracking with doors being closed
What's worse is the the trays over the 2 lintels. The firesock has to be continuous, the trays won't go past the the ends of the lintels, therefore it doesn't work and is a massive design flaw. Had this before where I had an argument with NHBC about it. If you put the tray through continuous, it's an item, if you don't and the tray doesn't go past the end of the lintel it's an item. I said what the fk am I supposed to do then. He said the firesock is more critical, do that. This was on a Barratts site in Liverpool. Complete bollocks. Even more so when trays aren't necessary over lintels, it's the manufacturers won't guarantee the lintel for 25 yrs unless it has a tray and NHBC wankers jump on the tray band wagon.
@@richarddavey7884would they not let you take 120mm out of the sock to put the tray through properly as it should be?I can't see how the sock is a bigger floor than the tray? Nhbc makes the rules as they fuking go mate
years ago we would build in the door and window frames ....looks like one good boot and that's falling over as you said its prob going to get knocked by the scaffolders
Still think that's the best way, the mortar groove around a wooden window holds it solid, no gaps and piles of silicone either. Quick and easy, But who wants wooden windows these days huh?
Another great video Charlie. Well done pal. It’s nice to see that Brickies down south have the same crap details on your houses like here up north. Great tips and tricks for the up and coming Brickies of the future. Just on small point your white expansion foam is the wrong way round. The rip strip should but at the front 🤣 so it can be removed prior mastic . Take care Charlie . Im a time served bricklayer still house bashing at 64. Your a Top Lad.👍
We are getting an ri now for putting the cut side of a half into the firestop,apparently the fire could travel in between the rough edges🤯 And they are trying to charge £100 per ri😢
What is the point in having expansion in that short space. I can understand if it carries on above the door but couldn't you just start the expansion once you get above the frame
That joint is asking for trouble. It reminds us of short returns; they invariably crack. Two heavy doors slamming shut periodically; asking for trouble. Can see claims going in one after the other here. The expansion foam rip strip should be to the front.
On these stand-alone door formers, just cut to size 2 pieces to make the formers parallel and battery drill screw them to the middle and top. Remove these pieces when the mortar is going off or set.
I never thought I could give you a pointer 😂 buttt …. On the Johny there’s a small hole at the end . Your not supposed to push the slip tie past that hole 👍 thanks for all the knowledge you pass on. Very helpful
Hi Charlie, how do you find the erbaur tool bag ? I’ve the small Stanley tote 2 years now, nice bag but not the best layout I feel. Any information would be appreciated, thanks 🙏
Don't need it with the pvc cavity closures. Come on man I'm in Oz 13 years and your probably back home. You telling me their not using them and still cavity closure blocks. When I was leaving there was talk of these hitting the market.
@@liamwalters5029 nah, not if you know how to do repointing you won’t knick the bricks. And they’re semi engineering bricks so the size difference is negligible. I do this shit all the time. It’ll be fine
Great video. I subscribe to your channel 2 weeks ago and I have been watching your old videos. Your work is always amazing your video’s are great. You are a very good bricklayer and a top man.
Cant see the point of the tie through the expansion joint either, wont it hinder any expansion that might happen. There are 2 massive brick buildings by where i live built bout 1902 not one expansion joint to br seen, they still standing with no cracks. Not havin a go u are a great bricky vey fast and very tidy 👍

Ever thought about cutting a dummy perp in a brick. 15 mm deep easy with angle grinder diamond blade.
does it ever worry you that some of the guys doing the same stuff as you on site arent being as careful and detailed as you?
Awful design when you’ll have a door slamming and you’ve got a brick either side
I know it’s not up to you Charlie but that’s shocking having a movement joint in such a small pier.
I know 😂

Full brick stack bond fake joint ? Instead of 2 halves ?
Are you not allowed to do that on site I do private work
Would most definitely be the way not sure if they would allow can’t see why not tho
Just have to do a tidy job on it and make sure no one is looking, filming yourself doing it ain't the best thing to do either 😂
@@lmilne4859bluff joint with a grinder for the half bricks all day long

Agree on panel like that. 🤟

I was taught to reverse the slip ties when starting out , wonder if it makes a difference

Call me stupid, why is there an expansion joint in a 2 brick pillar? Aren't these supposed to go every in every 12 meters on solid block/brickwork?
Crazy as engineers madness to put 1 there. But can only put them where your told
I don’t agree with it but I believe it’s because they want an expansion joint where both houses meet, front and back usually.poor engineering really
@@andrewmorrissey8478would have been better somewhere on the gable end side near the corners or something
Do you not need expansion joint ties with rebounding sleeves?
Your content is always interesting and well-executed. 👍🤩

Looks great regardless brother!!
Another good video, my family took the building side and I took the roofing side but love watching charles video thou good stuff
At 3.28 you beet me to it ;-)
We call it a false joint over here when you cut the brick to make it look like a perp
How come they had to take your work down at Hullbridge?
Totally agree with Tom what a bad design
Ohh the joys
Good work Charlie
You should get a full brick and cut the perps in chaz! Like the rest do 😂
Best bricky on TH-cam that's for sure
Sorry, just seen you mentioned it
An expansion joint there makes no sense?
Looks like a right ball ache kid done a nice job of it but mate👍
Profile up each side of that 🎉
Those half bricks should geen cut duscutter
Hi Charlie, how do you find the erbaur tool bag ? I’ve the small Stanley tote 2 years now, nice bag but not the best layout I feel. Any information would be appreciated, thanks 🙏
Yea don’t mind it so far! Just needs the rest of time now 👍🏻
Enjoy the bricking mu h more than talking etc😊
6 inch damp Charlie down the widows and doors?

I’d have built that solid bricks all the way up and ground out the perps after. Then point it. It’s no less strong and takes half the time.
Yeah, he did mention it but no grinder on site I think he said. First thing I thought too.
You Cut the brick on the floor not on the wall , your end up nicking the stretcher that way, you also have a labour measure 60 bricks the same size
@@liamwalters5029 nah, not if you know how to do repointing you won’t knick the bricks. And they’re semi engineering bricks so the size difference is negligible. I do this shit all the time. It’ll be fine
@@MrOitoyboyit’s harder tho I’ve been this this shit for 30 years employing 8 bricklayers
Just use full bricks all the way up on both sides Charlie
Then grind a joint up the middle of every other one, point them up, job done 😂
He mentioned this in the video ya plonka can tell u didn’t watch it😂😂
Hahah, I watched bits and bats of it, but I liked and commented, so I’m sure Charlie won’t mind 😂
Slick man, slick. That's an American complement. Those tight two brick areas are not for the faint of heart.
Collison ...... D u c k h e a d . 🏴
Great video. I subscribe to your channel 2 weeks ago and I have been watching your old videos. Your work is always amazing your video’s are great. You are a very good bricklayer and a top man.
Thank you 😊
OMG ....you missed so much. You must review the prior vids.
If you have a tie within 225 you don’t need slip ties
Nonsense every expansion joint has slip ties in it , look at the regs if you don’t believe me.
@@liamwalters5029 you look at the regs pal you don’t need both
very impressive ...
César 🥳❤🧔🏻
👍
no money in that Chaz hope not to many of them ......
Cant see the point of the tie through the expansion joint either, wont it hinder any expansion that might happen.
There are 2 massive brick buildings by where i live built bout 1902 not one expansion joint to br seen, they still standing with no cracks. Not havin a go u are a great bricky vey fast and very tidy 👍
Charles❤️ amy،love forver
That is an absolute f***er of a thing to build.
architect lets piss off the bricklayers put an expansion joint in 2 brick panel :D
ARCHITECTS? Rubbish modern design.
Tidy work charlie
How many courses does a slip tie need to go in?
Every 6
beautiful geeza
Architects rubbish build
People commenting saying why didn’t you put false joint in obviously clicked on it and not even watched the video 😂😂😂 get to 3:55 ⛑️
Amy must have robbed the 4' again
