Do you cover Birmingham area? If not can you recommend a company as good as yours please.....Tia
No Sorry. Use the PCA web site to find a structural repair specialist. They should be Helifix Approved.
Class again Bryan... you need to get back blogging, and on CZcams bud!
Thanks Ross, watch this space
I saw this advertised on linked in, glad it’s been uploaded!
No problem, glad you liked it
Top stuff as always from Bryan
Thank you, I appreciate your support.
Please watch videos of Eat Love Migrate!
Very interesting videos, do you have any information or can direct me to information regarding the impact upon wall ties where weak mortar has been identified ?
Hi William, This is wher proof testing is so crucial. The appendix in the rear of BRE 410 - page 11 gives some useful guidance on that.
another great video. thank you
Nice
Nice
Thank You....very informative.
As a Building Surveyor training for the APC, the content and presentation of these videos is brilliant. Enjoyed the damp series videos too. Hope for more in the future Bryan!
Thank you Nick - this is great feedback as it means I have been successful in the aim to make these videos helpful and not just promotional.
Nice

Excellent presentation. So nice to see a balanced discussion of pros and cons. I would be interested in your thoughts on conductivity vs salt concentration and the mobility of the most common ions.
Another excellent tutorial, much appreciated Bryan
Excellent tutorial ! Thankyou.
brilliant video, very informative.
Brilliant Bryan....nice samples also :)
Is profiling moisture mapping ?
yes, exactly.
Absolute class Bryan 👍
Thank you Ross, though being classy is not something I'm known for ;)
Thanks I’m a plasterer renovating my own house and never came across a case....until now perhaps
Very nice presentation Bryan.
impressive presentation Bryan....
Nice!
Long time mate!
Thank you.
Thanks m8
EXACTLY and dont hire cowboys
This guy is so good and informative
hey, thanks a lot.. just in time before i start doing something
Thanks for your video. how come only one side of that floorboard was rotten, yet the other side looked perfectly healthy? Also, what caused the floorboard to rot. I ask because, for years, rain has been falling on a timber soleplate embedded in a concrete screed floor in my roofspace. The soleplate I can see just has stains on it but I'm worried the underside could be rotten. The soleplate forms the base of timber studwork which runs the length of my flat, which is in the roofspace.
Cheers Bryan - I learned something there - hadn't heard of " Duck Bill " anchors before.
No problem William, that's why I do this :) Thank you.
Does the myeciliun advance into dry wood from a wet, infested area?
No. Dry wood cannot support any fungal growth. The wood must be damp in order for the fungus to penetrate it and metabolise the contents. However, heavy growth of fungal sheets (mycelium), over the surface of adjacent wood, combined with exhalation of excess water is thought to increase the moisture content of wood, which would otherwise be too dry to attack. This is often overstated to imply that dry rot can gallop off through an entire house, having started in the basement. It can do this, but only if there is a source of water which extends for example from a leaking roof, down the basement.
The damage by old rusting wall ties is the tremendous lifting force that rusting creates, not only causing a visible gap in the joint but often bowing the brickwork out inbetween wall tie courses. Old wall ties will do this whilst still being strong enough to tie the walls for many years. I couldn`t agree more, the fitting of remedial ties is pointless unless the old ones are removed. Remedials are quick and easy, removing old ties is certainly not. Remedials just tick a box that has to be ticked to get a mortgage.
What causes the horizontal crack when the ties fail?
Thank you - good question. When metal rusts it turns into Ferric Oxide. This is the red rust you see on the surface. The rust is a chemical reaction and builds up. A metal tie may expand by several times its original thickness during this phase. It is the expansive corrosion that lifts the bricks above the tie, causing the horizontal cracks. Hope this helps.
Another top vid from a top guy. Would love to see some follow up vids after the work has been carried out...before and after sort of thing. Again, nice job
wouldn't it be a good idea to get rid of the external pants and let the house dry as the plastic paint will hold damp in the walls.
Hi Phil, good question. Well that would be a good thing but the paint is already there and removal of it would be costly. This home has a cavity wall so most of the moisture produced in the building will evaporate via that (there are 'one' air bricks through it. Mechanical extraction in the wet rooms is a must - it is double glazed and the fireplace are bricked-up. The paint can be tolerated.
kev ball, the commentator says the side gable wall is a cavity wall - listen to the vid before going on.
Reminds me of a certain Blackadder episode!
Why did you cut the wall down? It will effect the neighbours privacy.
HI keven, The wall was about to fall over. There is now a sturdy lightweight fence atop the wall so no privacy issues. Thank you for getting in touch.
I'm training as a damp surveyor and I must say, your videos are the most sensible and informative related ones I've found. Good work. Thanks.
Thank you. That is why I do these - try my blog www.preservationexpert.co.uk
black ash lime motar is correct on a stone property, as it breaths. cement mortar will ruin the stone. what is wrong is using galvanize. fixings, they should be stainless
Hi James, good points. Lime is always best but of course if the ash is from industrial processes it will often contain lots of sulphates and be acidic. This is very aggressive for metal, even stainless steel. This building is pre-war so the ties were not stainless of course. Thanks for the comment.
The schrivener system I believe. I've seen this system installed on a house on the first floor, 4 metres from the ground?! Absolute rubbish and makes the property look hideous
Agree - I am always amazed people have this done to their property
Thank you, this is very helpful!
Excellent , so does the rust build up on the brick tie push the bricks apart and the horizontal cracking appears ? .
How important is it to remove or isolate the old ties? Fishtail ties
+Ben Barker Hi Ben, Thanks for commenting. In most cases the isolation or removal of the old rusting ties is essential. If they are left in position, rusting and expansion continuies and more cracking can occur. Where there are thin section 'wire' type ties, these can usually be left in position, as the cracking is less common and not significant. However, sometimes even these ties need isolating - treat every house on its merits.
Hi Bryan, this and excellent video demonstrating how valuable thermal imaging along with the FLIR MR77 is. By investing in this expensive equipment you can offer clients a visual of defects causing issues, and show a transparent survey! Those salt bands are often confused by surveyors as a typical rising damp hygroscopic salt band when it isn't, keep up the good work.....time for a level 2 course soon :)
Excellent video.
Wow fantastic stuff .
