Different density materials used tut tut = cold spot. Plus the uk have a bad habit of using sand & cement which has ZERO thermal value what so ever. So most if not all that internal leaf is cold regardless of insulation. Should take a leaf out of Europe book and use glue with 3 mil joints to cure thermally contaminated block work . 😂 this bloke is a joker.

The do look nice Justin . The problem that can arise with them though if they were reclaimed from interior walls of old buildings they were probably never meant to be used as face brick and could be more susceptible to frost and water damage than bricks that are meant for face work .They are really beautiful to look at though lots of character in them .

I'm a construction project manager. Was on the brick for 20yrs before uni and managment. Smack the level all you want. Put the trowel in your arse cheeks. Spread the muck by hand. Hold the level in your toes. Do what you want. If the quality of work is there...i certainly do not care one bit. If i did a site visit and a gang were using lump hammers on thier levels...but the work is right. They get continued contracts. Simply not an issue. The work is checked regularly by contractor-agent-clerk of works. No one cares how you do it. They just require that you do it. And produce the quality required. How you get to that is your business.

A 6" piece of rubber fan belt works pretty good too. The natural curve sits well in the hand too. Needs to be a fairly wide one, (not off a Micra lol), Off a truck or tractor etc. Once they wear down into the fabric layers they leave a fairly flush and lovely rubbed finish. Stands up the the brick edges better than a wooden one...

Tips, don't hit your level to level the course, fill your perps properly, always bed the DPC on mortar, not dry, as you now have a weak dry joint right around the house, also looks like your brick corner finished above the blockwork, should be the other way round so the wall ties run down to the face work.

Brutal. I give those soft old bricks about one of two winters before they all start spalling. NEVER use cement with old bricks, the mortar must be softer than the brick or the brick becomes the perishable component. Do yourself a favour and pop down the local Travis and get a few bags of NHL 3.5 and mix it with only Sharpe sand. 1 lime to 3 sand.

If there is no need to use traditional lime mortar then old bricks can be satisfactorily laid with Portland cement/sand mortars. The particular mix of mortar should be chosen in relation to the exposure of the walling or paving in question and guidance on this selection is given in the BDA’s design note no.7 January 2011 Brickwork Durability.www.brick.org.uk/2011/03/brickwork-durability/
