For Helical bar repairs the rake-out depth should be a minimum of 32mm. No raking out should cause damage to the brickwork.
Pointing - flush, recessed, bucket handle or cut and struck should match the existing and to suit purpose. Arises to be kept clean.
Installation of Helical bars is to be carried out on dry, cleaned-out chases and should be bedded in with cementitious grout. Minimum bar length is 1 metre with a minimum overhang on bent bars of 750mm (to external angles only). Helical bar installation on internal corners must follow Thor Helical installation guidelines dependant on wall construction.
Masonry beams or chords are to be designed on a job specific basis and evidence of this will be in the site folder. Installation typically follows the same rules as Helical bar installation.
Epoxy resin repairs should only be used when specified by the Project Manager.
EML (Expanded Metal Lath) plaster repairs should be completed with mesh cut to ensure approximately 150mm each side of the crack. The mesh is to be secured by drilling into the next adjacent whole bricks and using plugs, mesh, stainless steel washers and screws. If existing plaster depth exceeds 15mm an additional coat of dubbing out is to be applied before final plaster coat. -

Relief to pattern on anaglypta or blown vinyl type paper should not be flattened as a result of excessive pressure when applying paint by roller.
There should be no runs, bristles, roller skids, unduly high build up of paint / varnish in localised areas, etc. Face plates to plug sockets, light switches etc should be masked or loosened to avoid over-painting. -

QWQ7. Flooring (including laminates, hardwoods, etc but excluding tiles)
-
Has all removal been completed to satisfactory standard so that there are no exposed nails/ screws? Are exposed joists sound and clear of rot etc? Are any pipes or cables (not previously identified) visible that would warrant further work?
T&G Floorboards or T&G chipboard floors are to be level; the end joints of the boards being staggered by at least 150mm.
Joists are to be installed in accordance with building control requirements for spacing, length and section; an example table is shown below detailing the profile of the timber to be used depending upon the length of the joist and the span between for all structural timbers a minimum grade of C16 is required. Where there is a need to drill through the joist (pipework/cabling runs) the specification of the joist should allow such cuts.
Where existing joists are repaired and levelled, this should be completed to the standard that the new or re-fitted floorboards are level with no evident sloping, dipping or undue flex/spring.
Joist hangers to be used per the technical specification unless otherwise specified.
Insulation between joists should comply with current regulations.
Where plywood sheeting is used as an underlay for tiled or vinyl sheet floor finishes, it should be installed to the maximum perimeter available, and fixed with nails/screws spaced no more that 100mm apart, ensuring no flex or bubbling of the plywood. This will ensure a solid base to which the finish can be fixed.
Vinyl/thermoplastic finishes are to be flat and bubble free, with neat trims. No cuts or gouges in the finish. Check site folder for COSHH assessment for adhesives.
Carpets to be laid flat with no bunching or gaps at edges.
Wall and floor junction silicone sealed.
Finished floor area fully protected on completion.
Laminates/engineered wood/hardwood/parquet flooring surfaces are to be clear of adhesive, joins to be tight and close. Use from mixed packs to avoid banding. Product should be allowed to acclimatise in accordance with manufacturer’s guidelines – Contractor to demonstrate this within the site folder. Stipulated expansion gaps must be observed. A copy of the guidelines to be kept in the site folder and a copy is to be left with the Customer on completion. No bruising or chipping to the laminate surface. Finished floor should be flat against substrate. -

QWQ18. Other (including use of protections, completion of strip-out work, etc)
-
All sites are to be managed, maintained and kept appropriately clean and clear of materials, plant, waste etc. This applies to all working, access and material storage areas. Materials should be stored neatly and any waste packaging regularly disposed. Particular attention should be made to ensuring the works and the customer’s property is left clean and tidy at the end of each working day. If storage compounds are used, these should allow for safe segregation of the general public or other unauthorised access. Protections to access routes, welfare and working areas are to be sufficient to prevent damage to property, injury to personnel or occupants and allow safe passage to and from these areas.
We expect to see that suitable methods are used to ensure no damage is caused to the property as a result of the work being completed. Protections should be safe and should present no trip hazard to operatives or occupiers of the property. The installation of protections should not result in damage to areas being protected.
Work areas are to be kept clear of unnecessary rubbish.
Materials are to be stored in a segregated area.
Skip/bags should not be over filled. Lighting enclosures for skips (where necessary) should comply with local authority requirements. -
