Building a brick chimney. | The skill of bricklaying

- Building up a chimney in brick from just below the roofs ridge. Managed to get the whole done in one hit. We filled in the middle with blocks and just random bricks and muck. Around the middle where the chimney pot things go we used a material called micalite to hold the pots in solid as shown in the video. once we got up so far we corbelled the brickwork over to make the top stand out. We then flaunched up the top with lots of muck to make the effect on top. Added the chimney top and the job was done. I really enjoyed doing this.

That music is so addictive - great work and a great vid .
g t thank you i enjoyed building it
Very nice Job guys! Super!
Nice job lads... keep up the good work..
Cracking job!
EnglandTiliDie thank you 😊
Looks well nice brickwork
Nice job, good standard of workmanship there
Nice work
I like it....... I like it alot.
Top job
nice job!
Love the way that people turn into the worlds best bricklayer from the comfort of there keyboard, even if u did a bad job (which you didn’t) I’d still take my hat off to you for uploading amongst these pro builders
andrew taylor thank you for this comment
Looks nice mate
It's good to see a proper chimney being built! Those dummy ones on new builds all ways make me laugh!!
Good video Thank you.
Thank you I’ve heard about them chimneys never had the privilege of doing 1 on new builds haha
i was a steeplejack many years ago and also rebuilt many smaller chimney's on old prestige buildings all over the south and have to say that was an excellent job you did
brian bird thanks mate I certainly got people talking about what’s right and what’s wrong but everywhere is different nowadays. Thanks for the comment
Good work, guys
Thanks mate I really enjoyed doing this. Subscribe going to keep these videos going
Looks well lovely
I can’t remember building this but thanks for the comment
Good Job.We dry pact the the cap with a mix of portland,sand and just enough water in the mix to make it work. Less moisture in the mix means less cracks.
That's a lovely job well done to the both of u .best piece of work seen on you tube for a long while. Thank you so much
Shane Keep thanks for the nice comment.
Hard work sir
Top quality 👍
Glad you like it
Decent bit of work mate and its nice to see gingers confident enough to be work without covering their head
James Penston haha thanks mate this comment made me smile 😊
Really nice job, looks like red bank flue liners with lightweight expanded clay aggregate insulation backfill mixed with cement 20:1, just had mine done almost to the same spec and size, only thing that was done different was a lead dpc tray fitted, the lead for the tray was over a hundred quid but its there for a reason.
Nice is that!
Looks nice. A mortar wash, or splay is most common here...as you have done. I have poured a few crowns over the years, but not as often now.
It looks like you followed the specs and drawings from what I could see, and the finished product reflects your skills.
Big "thumbs up" on the staging and scaffolding🙂
John Briscoe Thanks for the nice comments much appreciated
I'm a bricklayer just to say great Job lads
Thanks mate I really enjoyed doing this is it how you would of done it?
Nice job boys, a quick point to all the haters, these lads a building what’s on the drawings so get off their case picking fault👍
Only Me Thanks for the nice comment
👍
I would of done it the same way as you mate neat brickwork 👍
That’s good to know thanks mate. Subscribe I’m looking at doing more videos.
Nice job I would recommend putting a wrap around expansion of the pot so the cement don't touch it then silicone the top to seal the gap so allows for the movement and don't crack! Just a recommendation but nice job lads! Will check the channel for more videos.
That’s a good idea thanks for that. Nice comment ✅
Tidy job lads. Good to see the liners going in the right way up as well! It's crazy how many chimneys I see where the liners are built socket end up...The music though?🤔......My missus thought I was listening to CBeebies 😂
Jim Newlands thanks. I’m still quite new to this editing and stuff and that music was in the selection TH-cam give you.
Thanks for the comment of you I really enjoy doing this.
Lovely neat brickwork lads and well edited👍🏻. I usually thicken the flaunching near the edges and use sharp sand. Surprised the drawing didn’t spec a built in lead tray?
Wayne Middleton thanks for the comment the mix is with sharp sand.
And? I used to build proper chimneys from the Hearth up Jambs, gathering over for the throat, corbeling over, Pargeting the inside, also with multiple flues and proper Flauching at the tog. Did you run out of muck at the top?
denis oleary thanks for the feedback. The camara ran out of battery when I was flauching But we ended up putting three buckets a muck on it. Thanks for the view it’s all a learning curb
denis oleary aren’t you a big man
One flue was for smoke but was there some air canals or why whole chimney was so big?
Mr. Wizeguy Down the bottom It Was this big as they had a little wood cupboard either side of the Chimney and they wanted us to keep it that size all the way up. I know what you’re saying it’s a huge chimney.Just had to fill-in The voids. Thanks for comment
Great work lads and top video . Have you a video of setting out the ground floor construction of this chimney? thanks 👍🇬🇧
Ronnie Biggs I’ve got photos but no video 🙁
Cheers Ginger can these somehow be tagged on to the video? Only asking as this is something you don’t see on you tube and like your video it would be interesting to young uns and me 👍
I will try and tag them I’m new to this editing stuff haha. I only thought I would film this and see what Interest I get and I’ve had a lot in the last week makes me want to do more like this. I’m always doing different bricklaying jobs like this
I can’t seem to share the pictures of it at ground level I might have to stitch together the pictures and post a video
Ginger Dust ...Can’t help you dude as this is full on nerd stuff 😂👍 if you do manage to solve it please confirm as a reply ! And thanks again.
Lovely job that . Just be prepared to be picked apart by a few individuals in the comments now matter how good your work is . I had one guy who got so upset at me tapping my level his switched off and refused to watch any more 😂😂
Bricklaying With Steve and Alex That’s the sort of stuff doesn’t bother me it’s just one or two people really. what camera do you use and what do you edit on. Your videos are good.
Ginger Dust . We film on the I phone and go pro ( for time lapse ) our early vids were edited on my I pad but now I use a Mac book , always used I movie to edit , free and quite easy to pick up .

Any idea how much does it cost to add a brick built chimney for wood stove in a 1996 build home without a chimeny and is planning permission required?

Good work! How come you didn’t use profiles at the start?
Itz Extreme Thanks mate didn’t use any profiles because I’m practising on my level work
Oh okay mate, I am an Apprentice working from Southampton. Really enjoying your videos. Keep it up!
Bonita chimenea
Javier Pardo Muchas Gracias
Didn’t see any lead in chimney. Or did I miss that bit. Apologies if I did.
If you worked with me you'd be doing top of that chimney again. Not enough mix on there to last and could of used a float to get it smooth as silk on the surface.
Thanks for the CommentBut what you didn’t see is that I did what you just said just the camera ran out of battery. Fairpoint each to their own I guess.
I'd definitely say the thickness off mix is too shallow. I find the thinner edges weather too fast and end up cracking away then once that's gone it just starts messing rest up. I've done a lot of trial and error over the years and find doing it thick right to edges is best then get a float and just pitch the edges for water to get off top. Rest of stack looks bob on can't fault that 👍 as you say we all find our own ways
Adam Turner It’s all a learning curve thanks for your input have a good dayHope you enjoyed my videos I shall continue to put up more
@@GingerDust69 yeah good watching the build mate. One good tip if you didn't, put a bit of granite or sharp sand in mix on flaunching , helps a lot with weathering 😁
Adam Turner Glad you said that because luckily this whole building was a mix of sharp sand normal sand and cement so had a bit of sharp sand in it which strengthens it good tip thanks
Apart from the liners being upside down not bad. Also should really use the lip glue for the liners. Not just Heat Mortar
Actually that's the right way round.
Nice job but needs a thicker concrete cap and rebar to stand the test of time
rebar? your kidding rebar will rust expand and bust everything apart eventually!
I've built several traditional chimneys and have used portland cement and 1/2 in rebar and none of the caps I have poured cracked... The mason I work for is third generation and I learned from him... there are caps we poured over 25 years ago and dont have a crack... Craftsmanship plays a huge part in a cap that last you have to know what you're doing...
IPut a 1inch timber around the edge of the chimney and fill with waterproof sand and cement, it gives more depth to the mix on top
1 it does not need concrete, 2 it does not need rebar, 3 stop taking drugs
@@topgrafter2007 exactly
Cool mate , try a marshalltown jointer though not some hose pipe 😂👍🏻
Hose pipe gives it a rough look. these bricks needed that. It’s pretty effective using a hose pipe
hose pipe follows the irregular contours far better than a solid metal pointing iron.
@@MrSkunk1964 still looks too rough
@@GingerDust69 yeah no probs I can make it look old with a metal one. It's what your use to I guess
Matt Brooks you obviously think they used the hose pipe for the sake of it, it’s too get a desired look
Why int there no lead in it 😀
That’s not my job haha
Ginger Dust lead needs to be built in
Ginger Dust as a bricklayer as you say , if is your job.. many ain’t a clue how todo a lead pack and you the same god help that home from rain, and all you can say ain’t your job 🙄
Mark Maloney ok sorry to have offended you I will take the video down right away as I’m not fit to carry on
Ginger Dust no need to
TAke it down, but have the experience to build a lead pack
In. It’s work of a cowboy, even not to
I
Understand the simple basics when chimneybuilding
Music wa sending me to sleep
Daniel Barlow I need to get better at this editing stuff. That music was providing by TH-cam so sorry 😐
@@GingerDust69 anyways good bricking mate what bricks are they?
I've never understood why people spec oversized chimneys for 1 teeny pot. (I mean architect's not yourselves)
Uk Mud Tell me about it mate It didn’t need to be that big thanks for your Comment
A small chimney stack can look out of place on a big house
Small chimney stacks are much more susceptible to strong winds. You need something substantial up there on top of the house baring the brunt of the British weather.
Where’s the lead
At the shop
Beautiful work lad! However sometimes the sun reflected off your pale skin and i was blinded.
Lol the cement cap is not water proof ..lest go see next 15 years the domage lol
You have the right idea just slow. Come across the pond we’d show you a few things
That cap is garbage, won’t last 15-20 years
It might last 21 years
20 MM Joints....yikes.
Cheers for the comment
@@GingerDust69 Don't thank me yet, i punnished you for puttin your arms in that mixer...omg....lol.
Don’t like his work don’t Comment , I personally think it’s a fantastic job
