Rebuilding portion of interior brick wall - advice please

[SouthDrive]

Hello, I've posted a question already about some air bricks and this is a follow on from that.

After knocking off loose plaster and removing the filler and bits of wood etc.. this is what's left of my kitchen wall -
I've marked in red where Im going to put the new bricks.
Q1) have I missed anything or am I doing it wrong ?



I've put a wooden support in under the lintel incase I disturb anything..

If nothings loose just board it over or fill in the holes with mortar and bits of brick. There's nothing needing bashing out or rebuilding.

As above, just fill holes with brick, no need to tooth out.

I wouldn't bother toothing out either. You'll probably damage the reveal and end up rebuilding it. The old foremen used to say that ' they aren't worried about a few straight joints, it's the straight backs that bother them'.
