lol...Woody! haha...yes, please do... :) ***EDIT*** You have one already! well, i don't need one yet, but Im buying it anyway...looks tremendous...

Stuart45 - what a comment - made me smile ear to ear - just glad you can't see it close up lol... I found online a brilliant tool...I may buy this and revisit those bricks just for peace of mind... http://pointmaster.co.uk/index.html Looks like just what I needed...

Darn it...that slate idea was great - but missed it...had to crack on - having cavity wall done weds... Well - first row look ok - second are slightly outa line with the third row...i was sure it was okay - but didn't see clearly till i stepped back 95% done... Ho hum - well ...

Grt idea...but...Stuart45 is right on the money...first course in...now the tricky bit... I may be able to lap the old DPC...iv'e freed it up a little by chipping out some obstructive mortar... fingers crossed...and thank you both for your continued input, its appreciated...

Stuart45 - the your right, its been pushed up and out of the way...thanks for your reply btw... Not sure what to do about that now....heres where im at...(waiting for the shreeks) Gulp...

Erm, thank you for that info...Cotswoldbuilders... I've bought a lintel - took out two rows - not used acros tho ... The lintel exceeds 100mm either side.. :( (each approx 120mm) - I hope it'll be ok...will post up WIP photos later tonight... God, what have i done! Whats a DPC...

lol...indeed I do...and now it piddlin down... The helical bars look like the best solution to me...googling like a nutter trying to find similar issues and how they resolved... :/

Apologies for all who posted - took me a while to get round to this... Have removed one brick...and voila! Help... :cry: Woody - I know you said not too - but I looked closely and knew i could remove one without disruption(or further disruption) to the others... Me thinks...

Ok, Woody - won't remove brick...will attempt at some point today to remove the mastic and report back, thanks all so far...

Joe-90 - pmsl - v good... SALL2009 - Eckin ell...only need one brick out - I don't think i could even lift that thing... Brick removal will have to wait till tomorrow now...I live another day... Thanks for the responses tho - and the funny ones - even better...

lol...ok will do, if you don't hear from me again, I pulled the wrong one out and im under rubble.... :shock:

But they are 'loose'...I can push gently of course, the bottom row up a little.. Thats what concerns me really...if it was just a case gouging out the eroded cement...but for me, they need removing and re-seating, excuse my lack of the correct technical jargon... I thought all window/doors...

Hi Sall2009, Installed before we arrived..and that's the worrying thought...however, surely it's impossible that there's no lintel? Weve been in approx. 8 years...they were installed within, well, a massive guess, 5/6 yrs before that.... (he prays)

Hi All... I hope someone can advise - We have some loose/dropped bricks on the outside directly above our UPVC kitchen window...its approximately affects 3/4 bricks across the immediate 2 rows, that 'sit'(ok, hopefully they don't really sit) on the UPVC framework. Any thoughts on this...
