Offer one wall starter length to the lower wall surface. Plumb and mark out three fixing oles at the bottom, centre and top of the wall starter.
-
Drill and plug wall with a 10mm masonry drill. Use the three fixing screws and retaining washers to clamp the wall starter to the wall. Repeat this process until the desired height is reached, cutting the final length of wall starter if necessary.
-
Begin constructing the wall, omitting mortar from the vertical joint between the existing and new walls, making sure they abut tightly.
-
Twist in the first sleeved tie 225mm from the base of the wall starter and press into the bed joint mortar. Continue fitting ties at maximum 225mm vertical intervals as the wall is constructed. A mastic sealant should be applied to the external vertical joint.
