[@terryross1754]

Ditto ! What other bodge jobs are hidden in that pile ? Customers have no idea what they're paying for. All builders/trades should be certified, licensed, and checked periodically and at random - just like MOT stations. And when this type of rubbish is found, it has to be traceable to the culprit, so they can lose their license and pay for the repairs.

Exactly same as my house, ground floor as well😢. Every house on estate which hasn't had a front extension has brickwork like robin hoods bow. All built with old fashioned wood windows so lintols sat on sturdy wood stantions which acted as supports, but as plastic fitted the bows appeared

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

Very common practice in 60 , 70 and a bit of the eighties . Keeping us very busy. We have dozens of lintel vids 🧱👍🏽

[@jasonshulme]

Excellent work, thats how it should have been done in the first place. Im surprised they even bothered to put any lintels in. Have come across so many upvc windows that have been bricked directly onto and have bowed as a result.

[@fredflinstones6661]

My first time watching your channel. It looks good. You can tell your son is still learning but he will get there. You should have left the alarm outside though, in case they still use it or want to disconnect it properly. What if it goes off and they can't stop it! I just hope they never want to get to it. You did miss out on a row though. I hope no critters can get behind it like that! But it does look pretty good now. A lot better than it was before. I like the way you explain everything. I might watch your show again cheers.

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

Thanks very much . The alarm was dead but I never cut alarm cables 😬🧱👍🏽

Great job lads, loved watching the skill of dropping that last brick in, 👍. Regards Russ......🙏

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

Cheers Russ 🧱👍🏽

[@simorris485]

Great jobs guys…quick question…why did you add lime to the mix?, curiosity from a ‘non bricklayer’ and, what mix ratio was it?

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

The house is lime mortar . 6 . 1 . 1 🧱👍🏽

[@jasonshulme]

Adding hydrated lime to a mortar mix can help to improve the performance of the mortar, giving a cement sand mix some of the properties of lime based mortars. A quick Google search will list some of the benefits. You also don't need to add a plasticiser if adding lime too.

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

Thanks 🙏🏽🧱👍🏽

[@jimboBFC1]

Great video. How did you level up the lintel on the larger window as it was leaning in when you put it in initially. I did a similar job last friday. Had a 2400mm lintel with a massive upstand and it kept falling inwards so i packed some 3x2 timber noggings behind the upstand to level it up best i could. Im not a bricky and just wondered how you professionals do it. That was the most important part of the video for me and it was bypassed unfortunately. Have liked and subscribed. Top job fellas

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

Thanks for watching and subscribing Jim. we usually use 4 inch nails into the timber lintel so they brace the angle iron and stop it rolling back 👌🏼🧱👍🏽

[@jimboBFC1]

@SteveAndAlexBuild thanks mate. Helpful tip. Same concept but using nails rather than the timber packing i used.

[@johnmehaffey9953]

Hard to believe but I’ve seen worse, builder didn’t paint the angle iron and it cracked the brickwork completely around the bungalow, people selling the property just repointed the cracks, think eventually they had to do what you did and replace every angle iron above every window, watching you fix this makes me want to get the trowel out but then as soon as I stand my back tells me why I’m retired now, great bit of work guys,👍

Considering what a dog turd you were faced with, you both did a cracking looking job on this. Looks so much better. Probably the soundest house on the street now. Interesting to see what awful building practices were considered the norm back in the 60's and 70's with those skinny half brick pillars and manky old rusty angle iron lintels. Not everything about modern building regs are silly.

That air block has to go back, as it matches up with a ventilation brick on the inside wall. This would have been put in to resolve the damp in the room caused by the shoddy brick work on the lintel.

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

🧱👍🏽

[@petemoore5104]

Years ago, in Carlisle, an whole estate was built where the house had a large picture window and looked spectacular. It was only when settlement occurred that these windows began to explode, unexpectedly. It was found that the lintels that were supposed to provide support fr the windows were made of a sub-standard concrete. This was the beginning of the end for higher lumina cement. Everyone enjoyed the view of an acro-jack in their front rooms. Want to guess at the name of the builders? They've sort of disappeared... If you know where Barrets went, let me know..
