Default Bricking up an external door

When you are bricking up an external door are you supposed to "open up" and
expose the existing wall cavity or do you just brick up the gap (with it's
own cavity)?



You probably will find the cavity exists anyway on a modernish house
right up to the frame.

I would definitely open it up and remove alternate half bricks etc to
get a good continuos cavity and brick key. But then it would be my house.

Quick'n'dirty if I was a builder on a budget..
