Making doorway, installing lintel | Garage conversion part 4

[@stevewharram5518]

No PPE what a mad man

[@Jsum97]

Hi, great video - one question please. Doesn’t the lintel need to sit on a full block either side of the opening? The right side is on a half block? Thanks!

[@BuildingwithBudd]

No it just needs to be on the block 150mm 👍

[@Jsum97]

Cheers! Would you recommend a 65x140 or 100x140 reinforced prestressed concrete lintel for 150mm blockwork? Single skin between garage and house exactly as in your video

[@nodnodwinkwinkV]

Do you have any videos showing how you fit and finish a door frame / jamb?

[@BuildingwithBudd]

We do it’s fitting the lining in this opening, school through our videos and you will find it there, many thanks for watching 👍👍

[@normandbeaches3496]

looking at doing the same to my property how come you didn't use across to support the wall above

[@BuildingwithBudd]

Each situation is different and in this particular case I didn’t need to prop anything up, I also did it like this to show the building inspector he didn’t have a clue what he was talking about, many thanks for watching 👍👍

[@jagdeepsandher806]

Hi great vid. Did you use slate under the lintel? Thanks!

[@BuildingwithBudd]

I can’t remember to be fair, but if it needed it I would have, cheers for watching 👍👍

[@trsd2009]

Do you have to support the wall on a support wall when installing a lintel like this?

[@BuildingwithBudd]

I’m afraid it’s just something I do can’t really explain it just use my donkey years of doing it, 👍

[@Gh0123gh]

Was this done for a load bearing wall? What type lintel did you use

[@BuildingwithBudd]

George we used a pre stressed concrete lintel these are load baring lintels, they are very cost effective and easy to use, Many thanks for watching 👍👍

[@tylerdurden6805]

What s the reason for use a lintel , if you aren't securing the wall with chargers or supports .?

[@BuildingwithBudd]

Tyler in the Uk we have this useless system called building control and they tell you that you need such a lintel wether you do or not , it’s that simple it didn’t need it but had to have one installed, many thanks for watching 👍👏

[@tylerdurden6805]

Thanks a lot for your answer.

[@tylerdurden6805]

I'm watching from Borneo.

[@BuildingwithBudd]

Wow do you build there ?

[@johnbower]

@@BuildingwithBudd It is a good job we have building control

[@garethwells9851]

Hi, you replied to my comment about the lintel but i can’t seem to find the video.any chance you can send me the link please?

[@BuildingwithBudd]

Gareth I’ve just had another look at this video I can see we showed that we cut the block work out, and maybe we didn’t show all the actual cutting out but the hole is there without the lintel in, sorry about that , cheers for watching 👍

[@MarcusT86]

Love the Brick Top quote! You're on thin ****ing ice my pedigree chums!

[@BuildingwithBudd]

Marcus Many thanks for watching the videos, glad you are enjoying them, Cheers from building with Budd 👍

Now theres a man who can hold his breath, cheaper than dust masks.

[@BuildingwithBudd]

I dont think he even holds his breath 😂

[@agnepalubinskaite863]

Can I ask what price would it be for such job?

[@BuildingwithBudd]

That’s like a needle in a haystack, each project has different elements, so creating one price without looking at it is not an option, many thanks for watching 👏👏

[@tron23058]

Contractor has to visit the site to evaluate the price of your house, car/s, age, and race to give a custom quote.

[@garethwells9851]

They didn’t show how they cut for the lintel

[@BuildingwithBudd]

Gareth that’s in a previous video, it’s there to be looked at, many thanks for watching 👍👊

No mask. No googles. No brains.
