I've got a 1975 build. Can I use a sand & cement mix to repoint the chimney brickwork? A Lime mix is for much older builds, is that correct?

@roymichaeldeanable 8 ай бұрын

I'm not builder but this looked like a crap job....I would be concerned about the poor condition of the whole chimney and the lack of maintenance.... There is no mention of the Lime content of the mortar so we can only hazard a guess I think this guy needs to upskill his basic brick laying skill..

What started as replacing one brick wound up replacing 25 bricks, by removing and replacing the 25, one brick at a time. Do I have that right?

'frog.' I've heard many reasons it is called a 'frog', until i spoke to a very old brickmaker at Bore Place Handmade Bricks ,Kent. I was working on a 16th century barn conversion nearby and needed some 'Squint' bricks, (angled), for the job. This is what he told me. A circular trough in the ground (about 3ft wide and 2ft deep and 10ft in diameter ), was filled with the clay medium, water, sand, etc.. In the trough was a large circular stone, like a mill stone, A post in the centre had fixed to it a long wooden pole that joined the stone by an axel and that was fixed to a horses collar. As the horse walk the trough the clay medium softened to become the 'Pug' (Bricklayers will know the term), for the brick material. The horse would leave his 'Frog Print ' (The underside of a horses hoof is called a 'Frog') in the clay, This word migrated to become the name for indent in a brick. Hope that wasn't too long! I also worked under the auspices of SPAB through a man named Steven Rickards. A very knowledgeable Person! John, (52 years in Masonry)

The actual term "frog" comes from the dutch word "kikker" Traditional brick making consisted of a wooden box with a "kicker" in the middle that was used to force the clay outwards to form the arrises

@johnnyfeher3412 9 ай бұрын

No it doesn't. That's a Dutch name for moulding. Try better next time.

No it doesn't. Kikker means FROG literally or CLEAT.

Really enjoyed this series. By far the best I've found. Thanks. Regarding the start to stiffen when in the bucket 3:16 maybe suggest covering the mix with a lazy damp rag/hessian or some plastic.

@spab1877 Жыл бұрын

Really glad you enjoyed the videos. Yes it is a good idea in warm or windy weather conditions to cover the mortar in the bucket with wet hessian or plastic to prevent it drying out too quickly.

Clean the moss …seal surface with a pre grit …2 coats of mortar one scratch coat on day one topcoat on day two .. add waterproofer even to limerender stops the shrinkage and cracks ..finish with a proper float not a wooden one from 1920s

@spab1877 Жыл бұрын

Hi there! If flaunching in lime it could still be done in one, that isn’t to say a scratch coat and topcoat wouldn’t work. Using a modern waterproofer on lime could compromise breathability. The reason for using a wooden or plastic float is to give the surface a texture that opens the pores to make it more breathable. With a lime mortar flaunching you can work it with a float the next day to close any shrinkage cracks as it tends to "tighten" up on day one, and then day two rework it with float. There are a number of methods that create the same result, the method used here is just one.

would you say a ratio of 3:1. sharp sand and 3.5nhl is right for re laying any damaged bricks in a house in the west midlands birmingham. i was told the ratio depends on the climate

@spab1877 Жыл бұрын

Hi there! It's difficult to suggest mortar mixes without knowing the location on the property (ie. chimney/wall etc..) and brick type. It could be that a 2:1 course/sharp sand and NHL 2 would be more adequate.

@towerdave4836 Жыл бұрын

3:1 is what I used for a property exposed to coastal north westerlies where the facing was of beach cobbles, a la Norfolk/Suffolk. These are much harder than brick of course. Some of the work was done nearly 20 years ago and has shown zero cracking or shrinkage. I put that down to making a mix that was only just wet enough to make it workable, applying and packing it tight in the joints, by had rather than trowel. NHL 2 may be OK but that really depends upon the type of brick and how exposed the face is to severe weather on a regular basis.

@huskyfrank9058 Жыл бұрын

Why have you gone for lime mortar on the fillets rather than a sand and cement mix?

@spab1877 Жыл бұрын

Hi there! We've gone for lime mortar because cement mortar would be too hard and doesn’t accommodate movement like lime does. Lime works in a more harmonious way with the softer bricks.

Why the hessian?

@spab1877 Жыл бұрын

Good question! The hessian, sprayed with water to keep it damp, stops the mortar drying out too quickly in warm, windy weather. Lime mortars need time to carbonate or harden.
