Just had some glazing fitted at work in our brick built factory unit.

We has two windows done in total.

When they replaced one of the windows, two rows of bricks came away with the old window.

What they did to remedy the solution was to put up a plastic sheet on the outside and fill with foam. . . .

The building of single skin construction.

The window is about 1.5m wide.

In my mind they should have replaced the brick work - but how would you do this with no floor to seat the bricks?

I take it the bricks that fell were above the window?
They should have put in a lintel and repaired the wall properly. Foam to fill a void that large is a massive, huge, shocking bodge of epic proportions and I would be tempted to give whoever did it a hefty kick in the nads instead of payment.

Indeed. That's what I thought.

Please post some pics of this I always like a good bodge.

As said above lintel, but I suppose it would be too much work for them...what also gets me is they should have mentioned it when they did the survey for the windows.

Sounds like an unreasonable short cut to me.
