After the cement underneath the bricks has hardened (we usually allow a couple of days
for a strong bond), secure the wall plate with frame fixings, every metre or so (this and the next 2 photos). |
The wall plate will also be tied down with
galvanised straps and some builders will omit fixing the wallplate at this step. But it does ensure that the wallplate
is very well secured and the straps can be screwed to the wall when the first floor is in
and its easier to do. |

The plastic plug of the frame fixing is hammered in first (photo on the left)
followed by hammering in the screw. |

Having hammered the frame fixing screw so far, the screw is driven
home with a cordless drill. |
The final fixing consists of fixing galvanised wall plate straps over the
wallplate (fix with clouts) and onto the internal leaf (fix with screws into plastic plugs). |
