How to rebuild a chimney part 2

[@Daniells1982]

That shot of the chimney stack at the end from below looked really impressive. Really interesting seeing the process of rebuilding it.

[@foundationgood123]

Many thanks!

[@thomasjones5007]

interesting job nice bit of detail with the corble courses

[@foundationgood123]

cheers

[@brikkijim]

Are those chases functional? If so wouldn't parging the inside stop soot and flue gases from leeching out of joint?

[@a1motorcycletrainingandsal528]

On a positive note the flaunching was nice and neat

[@rdgcontracting]

What type of cement do you use is it regular s mortar or something else

[@dulwichdecorators3477]

Nice job mate thats the way you do it

[@patterdalezipsuzilil]

Buddy I got strip a fancy stepped out coarse and re use bricks soot has bee leaking through the pointing I need clean soot off to relay any chemical I can use thanks

[@foundationgood123]

erics vids Try a Wire brush and patio cleaner

[@totalbasedcan1676]

Gauge trowel works great for flaunching.

Wats the best mix ratio 4 rebuilding chimney.yellow sand or sharp.brickwork and have 4 pots to put on

[@foundationgood123]

david doyle Thanks for the enquires. I’d personally use a soft sand 4 to 1 ratio to build the brickwork and sharp sand 3 to 1 for to flaunting at the too around the pots! Hope that helps

[@Frenchwine15]

Looks sound but the mid fethers were not tied in and the pointing even high up should be a little neater but at least you had a proper scaffolding.

[@carlel4219]

Nice video.

[@leelyons3443]

Hi I've got one similar to do ,how long did it take ,thankso.

[@foundationgood123]

Demolition 1 day, loading out the scaffolding and rubble removing 1 day building and leading 2 days!

[@lesgill8490]

Rough, as the Bard of Avon said' 'Distance lends Enchantment' joints not filled up no ties in the mid feathers, no ventilation in the closed off flues.

[@runeljungstrommer331]

well done, thx

[@allsportsnow6806]

How much for the scaffolding.

[@foundationgood123]

Approx £500

[@grahamkennethgarbutt9261]

What about expansion? (only a question)

[@queensoftheocean]

That's what I want to know

[@malcolmhaynes1424]

The flaunching was average! Where it was smudged up the bottom of the chimney pot that will last 5 minutes and will crack. I'm not a critic just a fellow brickie that's all.

[@Aerialit]

How should it of been done

[@carmelpule6954]

Sir, the structural integrity of the finished chimney is good enough, but the finishing could improve. If that chimney is a functional one the air flow would be better with smoother inside faces( as in the original with pipes inserted) for less vortex generation. Also, please note that sharp edges on the outside of that building are ugly and look so aggressive and rounding them off slightly with a grinder will not only give a better look, but will create less noise on a windy day. Note:- a twin wall "piped" chimney flue system (as the original shown in video 1) would be better as it will not cool down the rising hot air. Also it would correct the terrible aerodynamics of that recede out and recede in edges of the upper bricks. Four flue outlets placed beside each other will reduce their performance due to interference, and while they look very pretty on top of a chimney, there are better designs for efficiency improvement of a chimney. Not replacing the original flue pipes was not so wise.

Carmel Pule' creates less noise on a windy day. ? What complete garbage

[@justycrusty]

Carmel Pule' What a load of convoluted bollocks

Rough as a badgers. Your sailing course all over the place. No ties into mid feathers, you've sealed off 1 flue with no ventilation. Within a year that will cause damp in the house, oh and put a top on for god sake

[@blackvelvetchimney]

Harley Trooper Additionally, shouldn’t there be some liner in the flues? In the usa we have NFPA 211 which requires all flues shall be lined. seems like there’s no bond break between the pot and wash? that’s going to crack and yeah- pot toppers in the UK where I venture to say it rains a bit??

[@crazy1901]

We dont need to line in the UK by law. Copper pipe thru mortar at angle for a vent into blocked flue. Lovely job, looks terrific thanks

[@jimw6991]

@@blackvelvetchimney I am in Michigan getting ready to rebuild top of my chimneys. Can you send a link or a suggestion on a book(s) to show proper construction techniques? My crown was former w/o a bond break. Don't think flashing is correct either. Looked good when built but didn't stand up to Michigan winters
