Nice work Steve and Alex a few other things I do when replacing lintels are 1 - using arbortech AS170 saw with my FESTOOL MOBILE DUST EXTRACTOR cut out the bricks in one pieces so you can reuse them it's a lot faster cleaner then a disc cutter and a lot easier no silica dust flying all over the place then you're wasting time cleaning up all the dust afterwards as we say time is money but also health is number one to yourself and others around you 2 - steel lintels expand and contract in warm and cold weather as you know when I install new Steel lintels at the ends i use Miothene Joint Filler and then there is room for the expand and contract to take place and there will be no cracking in the wall you will have 100% peace of mind when you finish the job 3 - when installing a new cavity tray i turn up the ends I also brush a thin layer of black jack dpm on the front of the steel lintels and stick my Visqueen Polythene Damp Proof Course so it doesn't slip forward 4 - I always get the steel lintels two days before the jobs starts i will use anti corrosive red oxide paint and give them two coats then I know they are finished to my standards and not that of the steel fabricator nice to see you both taking pride in your work keep up the videos as I like to see them when I've got some spare time

Had a lintel installed today on a previous installation of glass block window.. lintel is not flush with brick of my house. Was it installed incorrectly?
Please can you answer me quick I have a similar job next Tuesday, I have a 14 inch iron to change and I wanna know if using masonry support on the upper part of the wall which is made of blocks mandatory?
@@SteveAndAlexBuild Ok thank you, also I was told that I could use big nails in between the joint every brick to support while removing one brick at a time do you think that would be safe, thank you for your answer
@@SteveAndAlexBuild thank you for all your answers I'm new in the business, last question, how spaced out do they have to be to support, since I have a 14'' iron angle to be changed how many of them would I need to be fully safe.

@@wp869 . I wouldn’t recommend using anything other than props designed for the job . You can hire the equipment you need and they can advise you on it 🧱👍🏽
I have a question, I want to replace the lintel and was told my baywindow needs to come down as it won't support this. Looking at your video it doesn't seem to be right the information provided. Thank you. What is the estimated cost to do the job you have shown in the video?
Class work lads.... in the case of 1960 house, 2meter window pvc. Prev owner installed window and removed load bearing wooden frames and didn’t put lintel in. Can see settlement has occured and mortar above around 8 bricks high has cracked mortar with some play on bricks higher up. What would you guys say cost wise (total estimate) would be looking at as ballpark figure to get a lintel in? Can do most jobs myself but structural/ brickwork isn’t my expertise... again top job there 👍🏻
The way you approached the job was just how I would have done it however, like a lot of houses constructed in the day with LBC Tudors I noticed that the original brickwork was laid frog down which is never structurally sound. When you put the bricks back did you also lay them frog down, I hope not. It is very unusual to see a wood Bessemer on the in leaf of a cavity wall but made your job a whole lot easier as it was in very good condition.
David Dore . Hi pal I went back and had a look at the video and the brick are actually frog up . We did put them back in frog up though , as for the timber lintel they were all in surprisingly good condition ! Thanks for watching and commenting 🧱👍🏼
I have a similar job coming up, full gable repointing and lintel / cavity tray replacement. I’ve seen you’ve done many, would you say a scaffold board is strong enough for the acro to sit on?
dhb 57 Hi pal , new lintels are the same as we have used here but they look a bit like upside down t ‘s . So they span the opening on the outside and inside skin . Back in the 60s and 70 s it was done with 2 separate ones , hope that makes sense . If you watch our extension video you will see us installing them on that job . Thanks for watching and thanks for the question,🧱👍🏼
In the situation a 1930s house, there are no lintel inside, can I just repointing the brick on the top of the windows to make it stronger without install a lintel in?
Great job. Out of curiosity (I am purchasing a house which needs this doing on 10 windows according to the surveyor) how much roughly per window? Many thanks.
Hi Anthony, 10 windows! 😳. Your talking at least £300 for a small window plus if you have an upstairs then scaffold costs a few hundred pounds . Good luck 🧱👍🏽
Great attention to detail fellas! as always! We have done loads of these in London - and we pack out the top beds just like that. I sometimes put shards of tile in there as well to stop any further sag - have you ever done that or do you think its overkill? Great videos.
Mike P . I used to pack with slate a bit too much and bent an angle iron once. As long as that new bed is full I personally don’t think it’s necessary. I will use it occasionally if the odd brick has dropped slightly to pack it back up tight . Thanks for watching and commenting 🧱👍🏼
Even I enjoyed watching this! What does a home owner pay for a repair like this? And was this done because there was water / moisture around the windows? Wow thanks so much!
There’s no set price as all jobs are different I’m afraid . Once the lintels starts to rust then it lifts the bricks up and starts to allow water into the wall which just speeds up the rust . Eventually the water will get inside the house . Thanks for watching 🧱👍🏽

Just a quick question if you could answer please , i have an opening of 2.6m so i have bought a 3m keystone lintel from berrys , there was a guy replaceing lintels on my neighbours property and he saw the lintels in my yard , he said that they are the wrong ones and that it should be a steel angle of 8mm thickness ? Is this true or is this old style building , because to me i believe that the design and length of the upstand at the back should be more than adeqate for the job but hes put doubt in my mind , could you advise please and great videos as always
If the house has an angle iron outside and a timber lintel inside then an angle iron is sufficient. The 8 mm steel angle irons rust fast unless you get it f galvanised. If the keystone lintels weren’t up to the job that couldn’t sell them. As long as it’s propped when you build over it it will be fine . We how the all the time good luck 🧱👍🏽
You should get yourself a 8mm finger trowel and it will really pack out that bed joint slate or bits of brick is no good in that situation I find it works best when coming in from the header face of the brick as in toothings especially if the bricks have frogs but as usual all good stuff and like I said before we all have our own ways 👍
Hi mark , I’ll only use slate if the brickwork has actually dropped and needs persuading back up a bit . Otherwise I prefer a tightly packed joint then acrows out straight away to let things settle and tighten up on the new mortar . There is a chance of bending these new flimsy lintels by packing slate in too tight . Each to their own though , that’s just our way 🧱👍🏼
The problem with slate in that situation is you are just pushing it through bed you are not pushing against anything so you are not packing it as there is a cavity unless you have a long bit and can push it side ways finger trowel the way forward drive it through joint and push sideways

2 - steel lintels expand and contract in warm and cold weather as you know when I install new Steel lintels at the ends i use Miothene Joint Filler and then there is room for the expand and contract to take place and there will be no cracking in the wall you will have 100% peace of mind when you finish the job
3 - when installing a new cavity tray i turn up the ends I also brush a thin layer of black jack dpm on the front of the steel lintels and stick my Visqueen Polythene Damp Proof Course so it doesn't slip forward
4 - I always get the steel lintels two days before the jobs starts i will use anti corrosive red oxide paint and give them two coats then I know they are finished to my standards and not that of the steel fabricator
