BRICKLAYING..HOW TO INSTALL A CAVITY TRAY ABOVE AN EXTENSION.... EXTENSION PART 9
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 มิ.ย. 2019
- THIS IS OUR FIRST DAY ON THE EXTENSION JOB . THE ARCHITECT SPECIFIED WE PUT A CAVITY TRAY RIGHT ACROOS THE FULL WITH OF THE HOUSE . AS IT IS DIRETLY BELOW 2 WINDOW IT IS POINTLESS SMASHING A HOLE RIGHT ACROSS THE HOUSE AND MAKING IT WEAKER.
WE OPTED TO JUST GO BETWEEN THE WINDOWS . IT WAS VERY AWKWARD TO PROP BUT WENT QUITE WELL . WE USED A PETROL STHIL SAW FOR THE CUTS AS THEY DO A FULL 100MM CUT. WE WERE VERY CAREFUL WITH THE BRICKS AND MANAGED NOT TO BREAK ANY WHICH WAS LUCKY AS THEY ARE DISCONTINUED ......ENJOY

Wow...Watching you Steve putting the bricks and mortar back in was like watching a painter painting a masterpiece...brill job mate.
john lewis . Very kind John , thanks very much 🧱👍🏽
Nicely done guys 👊🏻.. good idea those brick props , thanks for sharing
Jay Puyenbroeck mmmm A bit of improvisation.... just glad it held 😬😂😂🧱👍🏼
What a superb mortar match, Steve! You would literally not know those bricks had been touched, which is what we all strive for as a finish on existing walls. Fair play, mate!!
Thanks Jim , Shame the brick match on the extension wasn’t as good , bloody discontinued 😩🧱👍🏽
@@SteveAndAlexBuild Typical! It's a constant issue with trying to match. Some folk don't seem to believe you when you say you can't get an exact copy, they think you can't be arsed looking!!
Jim Newlands . Exactly! These customers were great , got them 3 alternatives and they picked 🧱👍🏽
You make the DPM look eazy to get in the right place. Most people like brushless nowadays but I can agree wire brushes will work to hold bricks up 😂👍
Barry Dewhirst 😬😂😂. It’s an illusion..... it’s a right pain in the arse 😩😂🧱👍🏽
Perfect match..nice work Steve
Cheers Wayne, a bit more luck than judgement 😬😂🧱👍🏽
You know I had to look up what a cavity tray was, thanks for sharing. Charles
465maltbie No probs Charles , Thanks for watching and commenting 🧱👍🏼
Class act. Taking the extra time to ensure the joints are fully filled on the replaced brickwork, so they are just as strong as before. Most brickies wouldn't bother.
Wonder if a few cheap little screw jacks would make things easier for supporting the wall as you are working? Quick to adjust, light enough to drag up onto the scaffold and save the risk of damaging bricks.
Sideslip . I like the sound of that ! In all these years I’ve never come up with that one ....... so simple , thanks for the tip 🧱👍🏼
Nice and neat Steve 👌👌top work
Sean . Cheers Sean 🧱👍🏼
I’m not a bricky, nor will l ever be building anything, but l enjoy watching your videos tremendously.

temporary prop, ha ha loving that steve. you are the master of improvisation
harry godwinson 😬thanks pal it was a bit hairy but the brickwork was solid thanks goodness 😳🧱👍🏽
Very informative post well done I love your work 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Phil Glover cheers Phil 🧱👍🏽😎
Great video guys work is always top draw. When you put trays in for abutment bed them up on mortar then rake out to take lead under tray so it disperses above lead as roofer will just dress it where they can. All the best ex brick NHBC inspector now😦😓
Thanks very much for the tip Rob , I will use it in future jobs , I realised as I edited the video .
The comments section is great for picking up nuggets of information and tips , thanks for watching and commenting 🧱👍🏼
Lovely job,subscribed.
Cheers Richard, welcome to the channel 🧱👍🏼
I am planning well in advance on my self build extension. I think il go the route of premade rigid trays though. I took note of your use of insulation over the tray. Great video.
Thanks pal and good luck 🧱👍🏽
Cheers for another helpful video Steve a customer was having a problem with a house they moved in to and think you may have given me the Answer perfect thanks again
No probs John . If you do anything like this make sure you prop it properly with acrows , don’t copy this . 🧱👍🏽

Anyone can build new, it takes a true craftsman to do proper repairs that are invisible. Most tradesmen won't touch repairs like this, as it takes more skill to carry off properly than they posess.
@@TyphoonVstrom Any good experienced bricklayer could do that in his sleep and Steve would most likely agree the art is matching the mortar colour as best you can👍

hi lads ,love the channel great videos true proffesionals but on our site when we put a cavity tray in we actually have to put the dpc tray on top of the mortar bed so we can rake it out after for the lead to go in so the dpc sits on top of the lead so nothing goes behind the lead into the roof . hope u see what i mean. keep up the great work

Nice job as always. Bet your arse was twitching a bit when your wedge was stuck 🤣 been there. I’m currently building a small extension on an old house. Building inspector insisted on cavity tray where roof abuts the house. Didn’t pick up on the English bond on the brickwork. On all his visits he had failed to figure out the house has solid walls. 🤔🥴
LookitsMeNotYou . And they are in charge ! And yes much twitching was going on ....... 🤔”shit I never banged that in THAT tight “! 😳😂😂😂🧱👍🏼
@18:22 great trowel skills. Beyond me, I'd have used a pointing trowel and forced it in. Truly can't see where you've been at the end. Great job.
R&T Thanks pal , I was taught that many years ago by a miserable old bugger of a bricky called jack , proper old school . Always in bib and braces overalls and a flat cap , which he would hit you with if he didn’t like what you had done 😬🧱👍🏼
Job for the patient - not to be rushed!
Definitely 👌🏼🧱👍🏽
Hi Steve and Alex, so nice to watch you guys at work. May I ask why you needed to add damp proof to the area between the windows? And not on the other sides of the windows?
Findme Atglen It was a cavity tray specified on the plans . There wasn’t any point on the outside. It would have been very small . Glad you enjoy our videos 👌🏼🧱👍🏽
Great work lads! 👏 Need something similar for a gable end in North-East - any recommendations, or can you come from Wigan??? 😉
Nice try, sorry pal 🤨😁🧱👍🏽
I used to build small extensions retired 10 years ago the building regs now are stringent making it harder to earn a living 70s were the best times don't envy anyone doing it now these regs did not apply back then I believe internal blockwork has to be pointed! Not easy being a small builder
david inger evening David . On site the blocks need to be jointed , extensions not really . There are certainly plenty of obstacles now thanks to some ridiculous regs 😬🧱👍🏽
Pre formed plastic trays are awesome for stepped and horizontal trays. Stepped we buy with the lead on with correct pitch. Vertical we buy blank and cut are own lead in as it's easy to cut in straight lead with no wastage and works out cheaper.
Plus you only need to cut out one course instead of three.
We dry pack with slate as we go so no way of brickwork above dropping.
Sounds good , thanks for the advice , always welcome here in the comments 🧱👍🏼
@@SteveAndAlexBuild we all pick up tips and tricks off the people around us. Best thing about bricklaying is you never stop learning. I always enjoy finding new and easier ways around things off other trowls and trades. Enjoy watching the vids Steve.
Stephen Holmes . Same here pal , glad you enjoy our channel 🧱👍🏼
We did the same with the slate when I was bricking a long time ago didn't drop
Mike Russell 👌🏼👍🏼🧱
Came here from Skill Builder top vid!
Trump's Tiny Hands thanks pal and welcome to our channel 🧱👍🏽
Yeah grind out a bet joint with smaller grinder in block work to put cavity tray in nail and rejoint in place alone whole span, replace all insulation above and under. Could help noticing the first half you put in was tipping making the strecher above and half above that tip also but i guess only a brickie will notice that .
Good suggestion usung ridgid trays but realistically would still need to install insulation corectly and dont think just taking out one course would provide adequate manovability for that
We generally take out 3 to give ourselves plenty of room 🧱👍🏽
Seen nothing like this🤯🤯
🧱👍🏽
Would you still need drainage holes if the cavity trays are at the height of a flat roof upstand? Or are they connected within the brick work?
3619jon . The weep vents exit onto the lead flashing which was installed after the new roof went on 🧱👍🏽
Did you leave the mortar to cure fully in those first 6 bricks before continuing along with the rest of the tray?
Did the section of wall above sag down onto the temp props at all? I noticed the middle prop was not for coming out.
I've got an extension coming up and was wondering how a cavity tray was fitted in an existing gable wall and this has answered my question, thank you very much, true craftsmanship at it's best.
That’s was the while tray as the flashing on the new roof came right up to the windows . Good luck with the extension 🧱👍🏽
Hi fella nice work , turn trowel upside down repointing ,easier to get mortar from both ends
Nice one I’ll try that one 👌🏼🧱👍🏼
He's handy with a still.
😁🧱👍🏽
Thorough workmanship, you take time to do nice job. Good varied jobs on your channel.
cheers Colin , really glad you enjoy the channel , thanks for watching and commenting too 🧱👍🏼
Would the cavity tray not need stop ends like the preformed plastic ones ?
Its not critical 🧱👍🏽
I know its an old video now but just popped up ( new to your Chanel and like your quality) i don5 understand the need for a cavity tray between the two window cills? Maybe there was a damp issue ? Anyway it’s nice to see somebody with pride in their work
Was really a waste of time but the guy who did the drawing specified it . He always a clown 🙄🧱👍🏽
Rather than trying to seat the back of the tray with silicone which will never work, the seal will of been broken as soon as you put the insulation back in.your better off getting it chiselled into a joint on the block work and cork it in with some lead. Then point or silicone
🧱👌🏽
I laid 4 Bricks today Steve mind you if my chair had 6 legs I'd have laid more 😂 might swap them for blocks soon
David Burt . Always a good n from you pal 😂😂😂, hope your doing ok 🤒🤕🧱👍🏼

David Burt . Wow Pete has a really catchy name there 😂😂. We are glad you enjoy the channel it’s great having regulars in the comments especially the funny ones like you 🧱👍🏼
How goes it lads? One small tip and you probably thinking oh yeah what now lol. Get an 8 or 6mm finger trowel for packing the mud in between your new and existing bricks, makes it a lot faster and can be sure its solid. cheers Lads
Helicrete Sydney . Good thanks , summer has finally arrived here 😎🧱🧱👍🏼
@@SteveAndAlexBuild Finally some shorts weather for you. We have the opposite here at the moment in winter. Cold in the morning you need trousers and the heater on in the car. By about 11/12 you wish you had shorts on and need the air con for the drive home. Be seeing you ;-)
Helicrete Sydney . At least our rain how stopped for now 🤞🏼, see you next Friday 🧱👍🏼
You look a lot younger on this video steve hahaha
Because I was 🤣🧱👍🏽
Nice work. How comes this was required between windows? Was it missing above lintels?
Zed Man Thanks pal , it sits just above the new extension roof. It’s quite old this vid , it was done first before we started digging . The whole job is finished now , we made 11 videos of the build 🧱👍🏼
So it acts as a moisture break between the existing blockwork and the new lintels, to stop moisture migrating past the new works?
Sideslip . Exactly . It does the same job as one over a window 🧱👍🏼
Nice workmanship! I'm wondering if driving rain that hit the brickwork below the windows could 'theoretically' get into the cavity. Was the extension abutment like directly below the windows?
Theoretically yes 🧱👍🏽
@@SteveAndAlexBuild so the extension was one brick below the windows?
Can’t remember to be honest 🧱👍🏽
Thanks for the great video! What is the size of the thickness of the seam between the bricks? And why? Thanks.
Alexey Samoyluk It’s plastic DPC and is only about 1 or 2 mm thick . It’s designed to catch any water in the cavity and release it through the plastic weep vents 🧱👍🏼
@@SteveAndAlexBuild 1.«We put a cavity tray between the windows…» Explain what this is for? Why wasn't it done before? Sorry to use the translator. Thanks.
2. What are the sizes of vertical and horizontal seams in a laying which are filled with a cement mortal?
Alexey Samoyluk . 1 The tray is to stop any water in the cavity from running down into the new extension which we have built since .
2 I think you mean the joints . Horizontal ones are called BED joints and the vertical ones are Cross joints or PERPS. Hope this helps 🧱👍🏼
@@SteveAndAlexBuild 2. I think you mean the joints . Horizontal ones are called BED joints and the vertical ones are Cross joints or PERPS. Thanks.
I have bought the tool: 4 Size Interchangeable Brick Jointer (1/2”, 5/8”, ¾”, 7/8”) rolsontools.com and Skate Wheel Joint Raker, KRAFT TOOL CO.. I live in Russia in Moscow where this tool is rarely used. What is the size of the tool you use for joints in brickwork?
Alexey Samoyluk .We use the Marshalltown jointers and use the biggest size which is a number 81 🧱👍🏼
Nice work did the inspector make you put you put that in
Oh yes , it wasn’t by choice 😬. Such s faff ! 🧱👍🏼

@@SteveAndAlexBuild I wondered why you were doing that!.....Glad I never had to do it.....mind you I did mine 19 years ago now.....
When a new window or door opening is cut out, is in compulsory via the building regs to install cavity trays ?
ANTONIOS . A bit of a grey area that one . Not sure myself , we installed one as it was specified on the drawing . Building control never mentioned it 🤔🧱👍🏽
@@SteveAndAlexBuild Thanks for your reply. Most people do not bother.
ANTONIOS No probs pal ,we try and reply to everyone who has took the time to watch our channel and comment 🧱👍🏽
This is strange one because yes if there is another story above the lintel there should be a tray damp but in all my years of this kind of work I have never been asked by an inspector to put a tray damp in. You would have to go four or five courses above the lintel and unless you fixed into a bed joint of the internal cavity wall it would be pretty pointless. On this video I am struggling to understand what the bricklayer is trying to achieve as I have never seen a tray damp put in the piker between two windows.
I picked up a pointing gun a few years ago in B&Q of all places, great tool for filling out beds like that, also for pointing slabs etc, it pushes the mortar into the opening under pressure, along the same lines as a giant silicone gun.
🧱👍🏼
Love my pointing gun. It’s so quick.

Nice job, what parts of country are you covering???

Good neat work again! No Alex?
C Mentmixer! Mmmm he was busy that day 😂😂🧱👍🏼
What is the material that you used for the cavity tray? Thanks.
It just standard dpc 🧱👍🏽
Does water ever really get in there? Just wondering if they are overkill?
Wayne Leone . Wayne , I couldn’t agree more , I’ve never seen water dripping from a weep vent . But it was on the plans so had to go in 😬🧱👍🏼
Total overkill, mate. Just someone with a clipboard trying to justify their job!
Jim Newlands 😬yep have to agree 🧱👍🏽
It’s not overkill when you have to go and fit them retrospectively as I’m having to do atm , damp walls below flat roof
@@timothybint4960I had the same issue. No cavity trays and a wet ceiling in the room below. Turned out to be the flashing. Fixed that and no more leaks
You've got 'big muscles' to use that saw the way you did....I just sold mine like that.
You did a good job "tucking" those bed joints, impressive craftsmanship!
The video would have been much better with the "music of the tools working" rather than the tunes you used....IMO!...and this is the last time I'll ever mention that subject (I like construction videos not music videos but I'll do no more harassment).
arkansas13 glad you like work sorry about the music , it’s mainly there to mask the radio to avoid copyright strikes ..... had 2 don’t want any more 😬🧱👍🏽

dragster46 . I need to invest in some decent safer scaffold soon , as for that prop I was a bit nervous as it was tight 😬🧱🧱👍🏼😂
Hi how come you installed a cavity tray?
Was there water ingress coming from the cavity?
dan2uk1 No it was specifically asked for on the plans so it was easier to install before we started the extension 🧱👍🏽
@@SteveAndAlexBuild
Alright I see, I just watched the video and didn't realise you was doing an extension.

Unless I missed it, why did this need to be put in? And why was it missed at new build? Unless these are daft questions?
Building inspector required it . There wasn’t an extension there when the house was built 🧱👍🏽
Everything I've built I've put a tray above and below a window that's what I was taught that'll what I did but apparently I'm wrong .
David Burt Not wrong just taught differently pal 🧱👍🏽
Me too, David.
Should the cavity tray not be lapped over the inner leaf also?
Not necessarily. On new builds the stepped trays are rigid plastic that just sit against the inner skin .
It’s pretty much impossible for water to get through the outer skin , then cross the cavity then actually run down the inner leaf . 🧱👍🏽
@@SteveAndAlexBuild Fair enough! Thanks for the response. Could I possibly ask another question? Not related to your video but why, on an extension with a solid floor, would there be weep holes below the DPC? Could it possibly be a suspended concrete floor? Would this be why there are weep holes?

In most cases yes 🧱👍🏽

Chris Collins 😬🧱👍🏽
Why not fit an off the shelf tray ?
You’ve got more flexibility and options with dpc 🧱👍🏽
No handrails o dear
Christopher Jenkins 🙌🏽😬🧱👍🏽
No problem with your workmanship but really, a dpc tray above an extension. You haven't built in a cover flashing so there is no way of weathering the extension. Anyone watching this, trust me, this is bum information. You always use a preformed cavity tray, which can either be done in lead or you can use preformed plastic cavity trays that has a lead cover flashing attached so your soakers from the roof of your extension can tuck under the flashing to give you a forever water tight problem free structure. IG do a good one.
The strange thing about this, you did all the hard work by neatly cutting out and replacing the bricks

Would it not have been easier and quicker to treat the area with storm dry ? That will stop rain penetration!

Good question. Building control wanted it 🙄🧱👍🏽
Yours is not to reason why Steve and Alex but I think the architect is crazy asking you to do this as it is completely pointless and has compromised the integrity of the original super structure. On your skills I don't doubt for one minute that you know what you are doing but why not string a line across instead of coursing your brick with a tape measure. Please ditch the Marshalltown joints they are just so crap.
David Dore . We won’t be using that architect ever again believe me !!!!! 🤬🧱👍🏽
You should consider dust suppression equipment. Otherwise, you will not live long enough to enjoy the income from monetising these videos.
They should have used steel props too - they will be getting a fine if they are spotted by the HSE and I suspect they are not the most popular builders with the neighbours who are getting their dust! - they are clearly unaware of basic H&S practice as they proudly display their activity on youtube...mind blowing!:)
