Bricklaying Setting out Bond

- Let me know what you think of this bond set out.
Is it normal in the UK to have only a few movement joints?
We have 14 On this Job!! Windows making it increasingly hard to make windows work full lengths! - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
I cant see why anyone would have a problem with that set out good job
Golden Trowel Thankyou mate 🙏🏼
Bricklaying can be hard making people that are not brickies understand that some times things just dont work full bricks.
Agree with this. Sometimes you can over think ways to get out of a broken bond, what has been done there is absolutely fine.....As the old saying goes, "you can only piss with the cock you have" 😂
Nice weather Hendo! It's 07:45 am here in England and it looks like sun and clear skies. I can't remember weather like that when I was last in Melbourne, but then again, that was twenty years ago. Time flies, have a good day!
I guess there’s more movement joints because you build mainly timber frame houses and there’s a lot more movement in them than our solid brick and block houses. Keep up the good work👍🏼👍🏼
Ian Marriner fair point Ian.
Also the ground is either very rocky, or swampy areas in melbourne
AS 4773.1 requires 'expansion joints' for clay masonry walls of continuous lengths of 12m or more or 8m spacings for 10mm expansion joints for walls with no openings and also at certain locations. Then there's the need 'articulation joints' to accommodate for slab movement which also can be used as an expansion joint. The worse the site classification and taller the wall the more articulation joints you'll need. You might need an articulation joint at every 3.5 - 6.5 m spacings. Given that there's a history of lots of slab movement causing cracks in walls in the western suburbs and most are on waffle slabs, I can understand why the builders are paying lots of attention to control joints.
It seems to me that they should make the window to brick bond as you look at the brickwork and the interior would not matter but I suppose it's down to the architect to sort that out🤔stay safe my friend😷☕
Nice vid
Nice video as always am now off to work in the sun. Where i live in the UK we don't tend to lay many bricks we are 99 percent concrete blocks bonding is never a problem because we render everything. Hope it stopped raining for you. 🧱🧱🧱🧱👍
Nigel Barrett ah nice Nigel have a great day mate thanks for commenting and watching. Love a bit of rendwr work every now and then. I took the day off Nigel believe it or not !! Tomorrow should be a better day 🌞
If I have a small cut, I will put 2 cuts in a wall.. so it’s less noticeable, but if it works a 210 cut and stuff it’s good, but when it’s like 130 cut or something then definitely need 2 cuts in the wall
Hey mate, back in the 90s in West Sydney. It used be every 8m, and alot less pipes coming out of the wall.
25mm tolerance in stepping bond in Victoria. Cuts should go in first course to avoid bond step.. looks alot neater as well. Double cuts are great to. Avoids small crappy cuts. And if you need 20 to 30mm to make something work double 180 and 190s do the job and they look neat
Thanks William. Will take on board
William Cameron Double or even triple cuts can help but who pays for all the cutting 🤔
most of the house's i have build have no movement joints But it will all depend on the type of ground that you are building on or off. So 4 to 8 on a smallish single house or one between every terraced new build house and in walls over 6 meters. is pretty standard.
You seem have a lot more movement joints in oz due to the timber framing.
expansion joints depend on the soil test and how reactive the ground is.
Every 6 metre of brickwork you should have a movement joint. I mean a 6 metre flank of brickwork with no returns
I work on a lot of detached houses and there’s pretty much no movement joints at all. Must be more in aus because of the climate
That's alot of expansion bro, we usually put one in to break bond every 6 metres, or, it gets broken by a window or door opening instead. Our footings must be thicker maybe? If not it's probably because we use internal blockwork and not timber frames homes. Maybe the expansions are to suit the movement and flex of the timber frame? Just a guess
Bang on
Yeah I think it must be because we have timber framing 👍
I’d say the biggest difference between you n Charlie is the he’s building traditional brick n block as you are timber frame . Also in the uk we don’t need an MJ unless the brickwork exceeds 10/12 meters in length. It’s normally a rule of thumb to put MJ on brickwork with a party wall behind with fire socks. Other than that I’d say it’s where an what in the world you are building . 💪🏽🤙🏼
In a wall that's over 10m we have them every 6 (Cheshire UK)
Every 6m expansion I think
What type of foundations is that on don't look very wide aha :)
Kyle Arts yeah I have folded the slab membrane plastic over the slab under the first course of bricks which we have to do now!
MJ every 6 meters on timber kits but not sure on double skin
seems overkill having 5-6 or however many expansion joints in that 1 wall, just looking at it i would have thought 2-3 maybe
Could you not tighten the joints to make it work half bond
I think you have so many ajs as its timber frame therefore far more movement
When you ripped off the tape around the window for the wall wrap/sarking did you fix it off camera? Water could get in and rot the timber.
2-4 Standard for expansion joints ridiculously overkill having 14 even timber frames you’ll probs max get 3-4 a plot in Plymouth England
The joys of bricklaying ☔️ They seem to go overboard with expansion joints though their frequency is determined by the house and slab design and soil type. The last slab house I built and still living in has expansion joints every 6 metres unless there’s a change in direction in which case the 6 metre run begins again. I think the builders just like to cover themselves against cracking by going overboard with them. You seem to be running your bond appropriately, my only suggestion would be to encourage the builder to allow about 30mm space each side of the window frame studs instead of 10mm. But good luck with that suggestion 😂
LAZY DOG haha yeah I mention that to them all the time. Aesthetically it makes sense. It would cut them amount of cuts in any given house in half.
Hendo, cover the bricks wheb there is a chance of rain mate, they will sink in you
Vince Z I was thinking that when I watched it back I should have just put some flashing over the course. You think i will need to re lay?
Hendos Bricklaying won’t need to re lay
Brick n bongs ay hendo bra
sanji gardeshi come on Sanji
How come you put your outriggers so low down
Out triggers? I’m thinking you mean “Profile arms” is what we call them in Australia, so correct me if I’m not talking about the same thing 😂
He has 2, he has one up the top and one down lower. I think he does that so he can pull the line as tight as we wants from the get go to reduce slack in the line and not move the profile when doing so. By the time he gets up to the height of the arm he can he can put a profile clamp in a perp joint down the bottom and that’ll hold it for him. That’s my guess 😂🤷🏼♂️
Spot on mate!!
In Brisbane we call them outriggers hockey sticks love your videos
Oh really? Never heard of them being called that here in Vic. 😂 The more you know 👌🏼
You can't be more than 15mm off bond when you get to windows. Cutts need to go in the first course wherever Windows dont work
Damian Guerra cheers Damian
Haha you beat me to it damo
paul kinney hey Paul. Where are you working at the moment? Plenty on? Who you working for?
The cuts can change again once you get to the window, therefore better put them under window then put a cut upside the window to keep perps lined up., like hendo did
if your windows dont measure brick length you will have cuts up the reveals
Rare for us to go get an expansion joint where I am in the uk usually if a wall exceeds 11metres you have them
