Ian79 Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 Have builders blocking up an external doorway - they have blocked it up with single skin - photo of inside attached. Want to make sure they are doing proper job finishing off, so seeking advice as to how this should be finished. Firstly, given it is single skin, does this look appropriate from inside - I sort of feel that there should be more mortar, extending the full width of the bricks….? There seem to be numerous gaps on the inside… Secondly, what should I be expecting/ looking for them to do internally - I guess a waterproof membrane next to the bricks, then kingspan (190mm?) / similar insulation, in a wooden frame, before plasterboard? (They assure me a dpc went in above second course of bricks) any thoughts welcome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canski Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 What is the measurement from the inside of the new brick to your plaster ? I would have flushed up the inside joints using the snots on the back of the wall after building that. It can still be flushed up tomorrow though.
