Definitely does work .I did a job 20 years ago before sbr and that .and old guy asked me to put 3 course of brick on the wall .he told me he PVA the coping on took me a full day to get them off .they were solid lol ended up putting 4 brick on and new copings .could not get them off 😂
Hi Justin Hope your well and all is good with you and your lads mate , shhhhh your giving all the trade secrets away mate , been doing this for years pal , many yers ago and old chap showed me this but used cement 6 parts , pva and 1 part building sand and 30 yrs later the capping stones are still stuck on and all pointing in wall is falling out ! Great video mate and great to see Scott ! Lovely work mate and some lovely tradesmen tips ❤ keep safe and well pal nope to speak soon when you have 5 mins 👍
A bricklayer once told me if you wet the wall and the coping stone and use a 3 in 1 compo mix with a big of washing up liquid the coping stone wont fail. Apparently if you just lay the compo on the dry wall and fit the dry coping stone the water out of the mix just gets sucked into the faces and this doesn't give the time for the chemical reaction needed to bond the faces together. I might be wrong but what way was it done before all these compounds were invented.
🤣 brilliant. Our apprentice painted it all over our wacker, and he wasn't even applying it anywhere near it. I asked him how it happened, and he replied I don't know. It ends up everywhere. Mostly over our vans
Justin could you tell me what is the rough going rates for a retaining wall 5.2m length 2.2m high 540 blocks 10 ton stone backfill supply and laid current quote for this is £5400 does this sound about right to you ballpark? Cheers Dan
I just worked it out quick and i had £5390 so id say yea sounds good to me but obviously i haven't seen the job site etc 👍and i never added vat to that
@@brickrightbuildinglandscaping Thanks a lot for the quick reply that is the cash price original quote was closer to £5800 rear lane access although materials need to be carried through to wall location so i can get this off a little more if i labour the blocks through. Thanks for taking time to reply!
One of our coping stones has come away thanks to neighbour pulling it of accidentally when pulling himself up our back wall. Do I have to chisel all old cement off before I can redo it. Or can I just stick it back down with some form of cement adhesive?

Proper Job Justin👌👍 the best slurry ive found is exterior flexible tile adhesive 👍
Same best is tile adhesive ive used the mapei external adhesive bomb proof 👍💯
@@brickrightbuildinglandscaping 👍👍
@@brickrightbuildinglandscaping is that just for use to prime the stone and the wall or to fix the stones down with instead of the sand/cement mix?
