listed building fixings

[wil]

Hi I'n new on here.
Can anyone please tell me what kind of fixings are allowed on a grade A listed building?

M16 Hilti anchors will be fine mate.

Good luck.

Wire ropes around drain pipes are good

Ties through windows are the way to go....

 

[crazynutta]

Normally no drilling what so ever, most listed buildings we have done was through ties in windows or a large buttress

Buttress or...drill anchors in and then fill the holes, rub a bit of brick dust on the mastic and hope they don't notice.

skyhooks should be ok , but only use them with a glass hammer

 

[SWIFTY]

Stick these on the windows and zip tie them to the standards.

The yellow skyhooks are crap mate, used them in southampton one tug and they snap......lol lol

Buttressing and kentledge is the way to go, or rather the prefered method. If drilling is completely necessary, you can get the 4 hole plates from ADI that will allow you to hit the mortar joints only. They will do them made to measure if required.

Is the mortar in listed buildings man enough?? Lime based,soft as..

You still have to go through the usual test and tie selection Fred, but the plate is a great solution. It was a good tip I got from a southerner, and used it quite successfully on a few occassions. It all needs to be decided before you start though as you will need permission.

Same as AOM but use chemical bonding - best to ask the conservation officer whats exceptable,i've dont crown buildings that allow positive ties & on the otherside National trust buildingsvthat only allow buttress work

 

[aom]

So far, I have managed to avoid the chemical ties SP, but the jobs have been pretty basic as long as we could get light duty ties in. We also have struggled to convince some owners to allow us to drill but it has always worked a treat. The guy that put me onto it is actually very clever, he has come up with a few simple solutions to at first glance fairly complicated problems.

ou could always throw a leaner up , no ties required

 

[aom]

I was off school the day they did them.

I tried to upload a video from the phone to the forum and lost everything, god knows what I done wrong. Upload it to photobucket or something first.

Ask a 15 year old Aom they seem to be masters at anything to do with computers
