Due to the workmanship (massive variation in perpend thickness, bricks are more than 2mm out of step and the colour) I'm getting it redone, but I want to know if I can get them to do it without the expansion joint, preferably toothed. Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ The wall is 5m long in total and has a couple of windows in it. I've tried reading AS 3700, AS 4773.2 and the Victorian guide to standard and tolerances but cant see how this work conforms to any of them or is required by any of them. The only possibility is there is a requirement that expansion joints be placed "at junctions of walls constructed of different masonry materials", the old and new work are both non-reinforced single leaf so does that apply in this case? And if so, why doesn't it need to be the entire height of the masonry? Hi all I need a guidance on how far I need to space expansion joints in the concrete driveway and its type (keyway/foam.) Contraction joints are at 3m max for a 125 slab. Thanks 0 10986 Hi, I am planning to select San Selmo reclaimed original for the fascade of my build.
