Massive feature rad that was about 6ft tall into the crappy breeze block wall. It pulled out the extra large rawl plugs, then tried metal rawl plugs and it pulled them out too. Chem-fix hasn’t moved at all. The breeze block is 80 shite that you can dig out with a screwdriver.

Great vid! However, I'm wondering if this would be suitable for sandstone walls? I have a 1890's cottage which has had some salt damp damage (treated a year ago) and a bit of the stone has disintegrated in room entrys and the back wall has a 3 degree slant. Do you reckon if I use longer threaded rods I could essentially build a little frame to square off the entry ways then install plasterboard as opposed to trying to build the lot back up with render? :/ I intend to do the same with some battons to level out the wall.

@Simonsimon-fy3hq 8 күн бұрын

Sandstone is terrible to work with! We had a cottage in North Shropshire and whilst the red sandstone was lovely to look at, well you know the rest. We had a similar problem, and the sparky we had told me what other people in the area did. Sadly it involved removing more sandstone, painting with bitumen paint, allowing seepage holes and building a brick wall on the vertical. If the sandstone ever gets wet again, the render will fail.

@nikthefix8918 20 күн бұрын

You can opt for threaded insert anchors and bond them flush with the surface. Expensive but neat as it means you can retro-attach any thickness of support later by just using a different bolt length. Great for temporary / seasonal attachments too. The drill hole needs to be a lot larger (12-14mm for an M8 insert) so you'd want to drill in the center of the brick but the extra surface area makes for an amazing load bearing anchor. For domestic purposes it might sound a little over engineered but having a really reliable and reusable steel threaded hole in your wall could have many valuable uses. For threaded insert resin anchors check out Rawlplug and Fischer.

@steve11211 22 күн бұрын

They are supposed to go into the centre of the brick. For that rawl resin it says 50mm edge distance. I work for a company that manufactures resin anchors 😊

@RB-xg2vz 22 күн бұрын

For the pre cut anchor rods - from the end that goes into the hole you’ll see there’s a gap about 40-50mm from the top where’s there no thread, that’s normally the recommended embedment depth into the concrete or brick

@andrewthomas6695 19 күн бұрын

Never fix into mortar! Always solid substrate. Compressive strength of mortar is usually a lot less, and if you look at capacity tables load capacity is highly dependent on compressive strength due to some of the failure modes. Also needs to be styrene free as external environment will make resin go brittle and weak otherwise

Must admit I’m a fan of rawl bolts mainly because they give a degree of flexibility , as a retired electrical contractor fixing say heavy items that may over time finish up being relocated , it was handy to be able to remove them if needs be . But I appreciate it’s down to personal choice , I would say I would tend to avoid fixing into the mortar joints were ever possible . Kind regards 👍

@user-qt3en1bk8v 22 күн бұрын

Another great video. I am guessing you are promoting these products and resin is another option I suppose but the resin is only as strong as the mortar you have drilled into. I would always go with expanding anchor bolts into brick for the strongest fixing. I think it's one of your videos I watched, collecting the brick dust to repair holes if needed afterwards? Plus the anchor bolts will come out easier than resin when reversed. But what do I know, I'm only the window cleaner 😂

Hey, I have just fixed a radiator to the wall in my Victorian house and one of the fixings just isn’t biting in to the brick behind the plaster. I’m assuming I’ve hit a mortar joint or the brick has just crumbled. Is this two part resin the best product for the job? I’m concerned I’ll not be able to torque the fixing properly after I apply the resin and the radiator mount will still be loose albeit the screw will be solid in the resin. Would appreciate your thoughts!

@TheDIYGuy1 20 күн бұрын

To give an accurate answer I’d have to be there and see it. Firstly check it’s actually a brick/solid wall. Then all you can really do is give it a try. If it doesn’t bite you should be able to rip the anchor out with the resin.

@fontybits 22 күн бұрын

IMO, for brickwork a stronger, cheaper, cleaner, and easier fixing is an EXPANSION BOLT inserted into the mortar where THREE BRICKS meet. If the item being fixed is heavy duty, such as a 75-100 mm post, longer threaded bolts or studding will replace the original bolt. Unbeatable holding capacity!

@StuckInTheM1ddle 22 күн бұрын

Why would you use these over anchor bolts? (Genuine question not being smart). Anchor bolts/sleeve anchors have a very strong fixing strength and no need to mess around with resin and wait times. I guess for cavity block with the sleeve you showed, resin anchors might make sense but not sure why they might be worth it over anchor bolts when fixing to solid block. Also, the likes of Gosforth Handyman reccomend to always drill into brick and not mortar (to avoid potential blow out) but i guess with the resin it'll fill the void.

@georgepritchard3010 22 күн бұрын

A few applications where resin wins over sleeve anchors. Hollow blocks (when used with the correct mesh sleeves) or if you need to put a hole close to the edge of a block / brick / slab whatever, where sleeve anchor expanding may blow the edge out. My only comment would be whenever possible, drill into the brick. Resin is at least as strong as the substrate and certainly stronger than even the best mortar. As someone who installs dozens of anchors of various types each week to install machinery, impact barriers etc. I think any DIYer following that vid. won't go too far wrong.

If your vacuum is placed over the hole then there is no air flow so no dust can be extracted. A vacuum for dust extraction only works if there is a way for air to move from a higher to lower pressure creating air velocity. If it was a through hole it would work fine.

@@TheDIYGuy1 I used metal anchors in brick to secure 2 extendable awnings. I don’t know if I’d trust resin over a long period?

Why can’t you use a vacuum for the dust?

@TheDIYGuy1 22 күн бұрын

High pressure air is more effective at removing the dust than a vaccum

Shocked that you are going into mortar and M8 into 10mm mortar is even worse. Its got way less holding power than the brick.

Makes zero difference in my experience unless going in under the top course. Did you watch the test? The threaded rod or timber would fail before the resin fails within the mortar

Why not just use a wall plug , instead of all that palarva.and expense.

Always drill into the brick,not the mortar joint…. Basic mistake

@TheDIYGuy1 17 күн бұрын

Not a mistake at all because that’s where I wanted to drill. As you can see by the test at the end of the video, it’s impossible to make it fail under heavy load even in mortar.

Yeah right 😂😂😂😂😂 took away loads of strength from the timber as well . Should’ve gone into the brick, should’ve used a washer as well. You don’t drill through timber in a straight line either as it splits A skeleton gun?? Wtf called a mastic gun
