I did this exact job myself yesterday, same drill and erbauer kit from screwfix. Youre right it was tough and i needed several breaks to get through the brick. It was easy to let your arm drop resulting in snagging and flipping the drill, hence the importance of a clutch. All in all it took me an hour also, including the breaks. The breezeblock was easy and was like going through cheese in comparison to the brick. Also the fine brick dust generated is evil, i need to now pressure hose my driveway and car. A good respirator is an absolute must. My brick wall width was 100mm and it was taking roughly maybe 1-3 mins to drill 5mm, i was measuring as i went. At one point i thought id never get through, so patience and perseverance is also a must! 😂
Hi Yousif, Thanks very much for watching and for taking the time to drop a comment. I’ll add your video suggestion to my list and create it in my next property. Thanks
Great video , i'm looking to make a hole for my cooker hood and i want to ask how to make sure i dont have any pipes in the wall before i start drilling ?thank you
Personally I check on both the inside and outside for anything that might have a pipe connected. For example if the toilet is directly above then there could be a pipe running in the wall. You can also check other properties to see if they have vents in the same place, if they do you should be good to go. Above or below windows and doors is usually a safe area I hope this helps Thanks for watching

Private rental sector now requires whisper fans running off a spur only in living room's and bedrooms . To keep down condensation and to prevent mould growth. How long will it take before they will be installed in social housing ???
I'm not going to fit in extractor Fun to the boiler But I want to drill a vent hole About three inches away from the boiler And then I will fit a long extraction pipe from There along the wall to my cooker which is the other side of the kitchen Is that possible?? Just to clarify there will be no extractor fan in the wall The extractor fan will be in the cooking hood that will extract the air Along the pipe and then out of the vent Which is next to the Boiler Vent

Thank you really thank you for not showing the only part I came to watch the video for the drilling part
You are very welcome Andy, thanks for watching, I`ll be sure to capture the drilling part next time.
A good informative video thank you
Almost as if you knew I was discussing a new extractor fan today and you post this video! 👍
Hey John,
Perfect timing then, I hope it helps 👍
Is there a part 2 of this vid where you’ve fitted the switch and showing how you ran the cable over ?

If drilling outside in is it best to score the plastboard inside first so it doesn't breakout the wall inside. Good video
Hi Dan, could you please provide a link to the constant trickle fan that you are a fan of? To put in kitchen and bathroom. Thanks

Hi there, the hole you have drilled in this vlog, is it good enough for a flu pipe coming out through the wall?
Yep sure is, thanks for watching and for dropping a question.
