Hi, can i remove more than 1 brick at a time in the same area? There is an old extraction vent that needs re- bricking, it requires 6 bricks to be taken out in the same area, help much appreciated :?:
 
No problem
If you look at the diagram below:
View media item 32943You'll see that bricks 5 and 6 can be removed and then brick 2, but bricks 1 & 3 will still be supported by bricks 4 & 7.
The same will apply over a slightly wider area.
You'll end up with a, more or less, natural arch.
 
Thanks for reply, could you also advise the best way to do this job i.e materials, getting right mortar colour etc, regards
