Building a conservatory on a dwarf wall - how long will i need to leave new brickwork?
An easy question I hope, I am building a 600mm high dwarf wall for my new conservatory. There is already course of brick above DPC laid years ago but how long will I need to leave the new brickwork before installing the conservatory onto it ?

I'd leave it for about a week just so you don't knock the top course off when fitting the new conservatory. Also I'd properly lay the last course frog down and fill the frog with sand cement mortar.

About 7 days should see that your brickwork has gone solid enough to have the weight of the conservatory and also the fixings to be screwed in without damaging the brickwork.
