I have left this running in our workshop today, to show my students and they now know 1) What a profile and clamp is 2) What a trench block is 3) How to keep half bond on Brickwork 4) How important it is to keep full cross joints 5) The work involved up to DPC level 6) Why you leave service gaps in trench block with lintels on. - for me this is great education for our Level 1 Bricklayers full time. Thanks
It's good to watch that mate I've watched alot of your videos it's good to see someone buttering the brick up properly so they don't have a labourer following them filling in all the gobbo they've left out 👍
Just mesmerising and utterly fascinating.I'm on break between clients here in London,I am looking forward to an escape to our cottage in Halsall to plant the garden for Summer and some recuperation,hope the weather holds.
Never knew how therapeutic my job was. Nice and calm. Could go to kip to this every night Stu. Lovely job too. Nice to see a bricky crossing T's and dotting the I's in a footing. Toppa pal 👍
I've been a subscriber (and fan) of yours for so long Stu, I've been on site since I was 17 and watching ur videos always helps me become better each day, keep up the good content fella always look forward to it 👍🏼
Beautiful brick work. Did I miss your telling us about the white blocks? Are they going to be completely covered with something? They look terrible with the over amounts of mortar smeared on.
Its a talent mate to do it perfect some folks bricklay for years and there still shit its like anything ya got it or ya aint no matter how hard ya try 😁 im proud to say i am a very good bricklayer im not good at making videos stu has 2 talents lol
Very good, Stu. I'm gonna have a crack at making a tiny little letterbox column and I'm having to really mentally prepare for it. It'll take me a week to do it I reckon!
That other bloke was smashing them down but you are for quality and also seen you laying with leaf down checking every brick and filling your joints up 👍🏻no point being rough in a footing making bad habits
Stu , what are those red purfs? Are they concrete coursing bricks or commons? Excellent laying skills with good muck and low sorb brick. I'm on stock bricks for fiddly landscape detail work PITA have to wet them down and then the salts come out later.
Stu, do you always lay/prefer engineering bricks? Not a dig as I enjoy the videos but from what I've seen it's what you always lay on site in the footings and the supers. London trowel.
They have to be an engineering brick in the footings because they are very dense and will hold up better in the ground/ moisture compares to low density brick
@@Stucrompton1 Of course. It's just that, unless I'm wrong, it's what you lay in the lifts above damp aswell in your site videos. Just asking. Down south it's engineerings under damp and then frog bricks above splash.
I have watched many of your vids just to see what's going on. Your finished product is very fine. I have been puzzled by your procedure and slow production. I am a 45 year bricklayer and I do not want to sound like some of the rubes that troll you but I think you might ought to come and film an 85 year old bricklayer that could show you a couple of things. That bricklayer is not me he started in 1952.
@@Stucrompton1 fair play,looks like you've taken to site work now 😉,keep dotting them down and posting your video's-there really helpful to other blokes/women learning the trade,all the best... ☝☝👌
Wen my pop up let’s me know there’s a new stu viddie my hart skips a beat boyo, my wife is a bit worried about you she says u lost a bit of weight, I told her don’t worry he will be getting cakes off old dears by nxt week fitting windows cheers for the effort buddie catch u in the nxt one
Do you not listen to the radio while working ? Love pop master on radio 2 at 10.30am every morning. I am not doing bricks, but plenty of construction type work.
Hi Stu Can really relate to your vids , especially the one about your apprenticeship, mine was the same , I’m originally from Stockport but I’m now living in the south of France , I have built quite a large company and do very well , we do full new builds and full barn Reno’s , I have been here now for 13 years , it took me a while to get use to the building system as it’s single skin 200mm blockwork , complete ring beam system under wall plate and in corners and reveals all linked to founds filled with steel and concrete , I actually quite like the system , are you up for coming out I hype summer throwing one up with us ? Would make a good video , building in France , let me know and I will fly you out for a month or so , they go up quick , let me know , my name stu too , regards stu
Alejandro Marin plumb is to the string line, that’s 1 of the main reasons its put up. And pretty damn sure he knows exactly what he’s doing. Lol seeing as he’s building houses & well.... you’re just a random person commenting on TH-cam.
Those corner profiles look great if you're working on a price, but don't you think it takes some of the skill out of it?? I'm old school I like to build my corners free hand, and I actually get a kick out of it #sadbastard

Doing a lot better Robert buddy
Another fantastic video stu.keep up the great work pal and I really like the banter 😁👍
Very _relaxing_ mate I must say......
well for me at any road...
Very good, very high quality. Hello from Russia !!!
That labourer ain’t moving too quick... 🤣
Anòther good vid. Stu, very therapeutic watching you wall, looks like that sites dried up a bit, sun ☀️ was shining, keep up the good work.
so in the UK you dig out the footings, pour the foundation and lay 4 courses of footing blocks and then lay the brick courses on top?
Thank you , Stu .
And breath and relax, mesmerizing thank you
Very very good!
Nice vid. That trowel is massive. My tennis elbow is screaming in pain. 😂😂😂
I use a much smaller one nowadays.
Beautiful brick work. Did I miss your telling us about the white blocks? Are they going to be completely covered with something? They look terrible with the over amounts of mortar smeared on.
Enjoyed that video , brilliant job well done mate
Cheers Dan 👍
The years it must take to get that kind of skill, I wonder when it all just clicked into place for you, after how long.
Its a talent mate to do it perfect some folks bricklay for years and there still shit its like anything ya got it or ya aint no matter how hard ya try 😁 im proud to say i am a very good bricklayer im not good at making videos stu has 2 talents lol
Wish all footings had that much space round them
Very good, Stu. I'm gonna have a crack at making a tiny little letterbox column and I'm having to really mentally prepare for it. It'll take me a week to do it I reckon!
Hello how big are the profiles are they a meter I want some for footings and garden walls what would you recommend sizes thanks
Top bricklayer
Brilliant !
I love your videos very much
How do you make sure your coarses are vertical is it done by the corner post and what's your website called? cheers
Normally youd get your corners up plump and then you string a line of your corner
very therapeutic stewart.
So relaxing watching bricklaying I’m weird haha
Sepertinya saya tidak melihat segelas kopi....!
👍 👍 👍
I love it.....
Do you like to lay going forwards or did this just work out that way?
either way really
That other bloke was smashing them down but you are for quality and also seen you laying with leaf down checking every brick and filling your joints up 👍🏻no point being rough in a footing making bad habits
God’s grace to brick laying!
Beleza muito bom👍👍👍👏👏👏
A one nice good i like it this work
Top fella good work
What’s your view on pick n dip method Stu?
I’ve never tried it mate, it’s never really appealed to me. will have a go soon tho 👍
Brickys who use it reckon you can lay around 50% more a day? Can’t wait to see the master having a go 💪
Is there any movement joints on the houses you’ve been building? Haven’t seen any so far..
Would you recommend bricklaying for someone who has just come out of high school if so why?
Stu - how come at 11.00 mins you have a course of cement block on top of the trench block that you are laying the facers on?
Stu , what are those red purfs? Are they concrete coursing bricks or commons? Excellent laying skills with good muck and low sorb brick. I'm on stock bricks for fiddly landscape detail work PITA have to wet them down and then the salts come out later.
Nice one stu,hope your ankles getting better pal👍

Lawrence Curwen I believe your confused in the fact that they are perforated so you are assuming they are engineering....but I may also be wrong 🤔

What pattern trowel do you prefer using and what reasons for it?
Hi Stu
What's the name of the bricks you are using?
They look like a good match to my house and would be good for extension I'm planning.
Cheers
Good job excellent
Whats the song
Stu if you get rained off do you still get paid or do you not always wondered?
Nope, you only get paid for the work you produce Allen
stu crompton oh really do you have to do a certain amount in order to get paid? Nice work as always bud 👍🏻👍🏻
Paid per brick or block Allen. Different prices for each concept
Nice work Stu,how's the old peg holding up mate?? 🎿🎿🎿😉
Doing ok George pal, strapped up and the new boots are helping loads

Hi stu , looking for a good bricky in the nottingham area. for garden wall and other projects. Can you recommend someone?
Head over to bricklaying jobs UK on fb buddy
How many would you say you lay a day
Just wondering stu if u have two brickys working towards each other and he ain’t as good as u surely when it dry out it will look slightly different
Hi STU Question what do you find the hardest to do when starting a new build/wall and any tips on how to get better
Hi Stu
Are they standard clamps on your profile ??
What’s the intro song?
За мене је Мр Кромптон драгоцено откриће.

Should time lapse that mate would look good

Hi stu well done on your achievements. I maybe could come over 👍
Don't you ever get bored of the repetitive nature of it?
Bricklaying isn’t as repetitive as some other trades
3 - 1 now Stu?
yes at the moment
Looks good but he’s very slow Let’s hope he’s on day work and not price work!
fish eye camera? .. u ussually butter both ends of bricks in most videos?.. i think
Ommm......
Cornes plumb do not work
Use plumb not level the level dos not work
