Where there are gaps of less than a block’s width, you will need to cut a block. Stagger the blocks on the next course to ensure the vertical joints don’t coincide. Keep checking your levels – you can never do this too often! Remember to fill the vertical joints by applying mortar to one end of the block before positioning it adjacent to the previously laid block. The mortar should slightly exude from between the joints and any surplus should be cut off with the trowel. Place the block into position and using the rubber mallet gently tap the block down to the correct height set by the string line.Īlthough the string line should be a good guide, double check your levels using the spirit level. Put enough mortar on the footing for the block you are laying with a little extra to ensure the end of the block is fully supported. Place a line of mortar onto the concrete footing and ripple it with the point of the trowel to make sure there is enough ‘give’ when you set the block onto it. It needs to be stiff enough to support the weight of the walling block, but soft enough to allow you to work with it and settle the blocks onto it.įirst make the mortar bed. Add just enough water to make a smooth and pliable mortar that is easy to spread. ![]() Mix together with a little plasticizer to make the mix more workable. That’s 3 parts building sand to 1 part cement. Set the height so that it is level with the top of the blocks and make sure you use a spirit level to check it is flat with no fall or slope.įor wall building you need a brick laying mortar of 3 to 1 mix. This acts as a guide to both the alignment and level of the first course of walling blocks. Then move the blocks out of the way and set up a taut string line. Start by dry laying the first course of blocks out to check where they will sit on the footing and whether you will need to cut any blocks to fit. Leave the concrete over night to give it chance to harden before you move to step 3. Use a long spirit level to ensure the concrete is flat with no slope or fall in any direction. This creates a rough, rugged finish that will be an ideal base for the mortar. Simply pour the concrete into the trench, spread out and then tamp down with a length of timber to expel any air pockets that might have formed. You need a fairly wet, pourable concrete so that it flows into the trench footing and is easy to level out. Mix the ballast and cement and then add water. Lay level concrete foundations using 6 parts all in ballast to 1 part cement. The finished foundation should be at least 50mm below ground level.
