Good to see him come back and rectify his work not many builder out there that would do that hat off to u sir 👍🏻
Top lad, going back to change the bricks. I can’t get my builder to come back and finish the job he started! Thanks Stu
Mate a wonderful job as always. Never thought I could take comfort from seeing your great work. Good stuff!
Great vids Stu! I’m a landscape gardener but finding you’re videos very interesting and professional. Keep up the good work 👍🏻
Stu takes pride in his work real pro !!! 🙏
Massive thank you for this video, I'm attempting to do a similar thing in my garden and it's given me real insight into the process
Hi Stu great video , Please keep them coming . I,am a plumber / heating engineer and your tips helps when repairing brick and block work, when I take a boiler out leaving the old flue hole , So thanks .
Tidy job Stu,, allways nice to see a job come together in the end.
Fair play for spotting your mistake and sorting it out. Theres not many out there like you stu
Lovely stu even something simple like this you still manage to make the finished thing look amazing
Also stu , I’ve got a recommendation for a songs in your videos I think it would be good it’s called blue and evil by joe bonamassa
Stu makes it look so simple, if only it worked like that for me.
pride in your job ,love it
Outstanding brickwork 👍👍🔥🔥
always excellent work compliments very good 👍
Nice tidy job as always Stu!
Nice job. Nice soundtrack.
That looks great - so much better!
Coincidentally I'm doing the exact same on Monday! Very neat 👍
Great job as always fella
love your work !
Great job Stu 👍
Great vids... how do i get dry cement off my Indian stone.. thanks in advance
Love the music. Awesome video mate.
No puedo parar de ver tus videos!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍 excelente
Would you use the same technique for building a raised patio? I want to build a couple of course high wall, build up the inside and then lay the slabs on top. Also would I need a double skin of bricks?
Great videos by the way....really helpful 👍🏻
How do you put the plates? In the horizon or with a slight slope to the outer edge?
music is always awesome man
Love those rain buckets bro!
Nice one mate !
Perth Western Australia 🇦🇺
Beautiful!
Great work
Stu when building a step up does it matter if you bridge the damp course.
Hi Stu, great video. I'm doing exactly this job. How long do you let the bricks and mortar set before laying the flags on top? Cheers
This video is fantastic... What sand cement ratio would u recommend for doing this job? Thanks.. Or would you recommend a pre mixed mortar bag, thanks
What's the mix for the bed of the flags and for the pointing? Also was it necessary to prime them?
Good job 👍
GREAT JOBS I WISH I COULD DO THAT!!!!!!
Hey buddy - nice job that one. I am about to do the same in front of french doors. I already have a lock block area and patio slab area where this will be built. Will follow your advice to put the mortar on and build the brick base. there is a little area where there is no lockblock/paving slabs, but a garden area which I have to dig out in order to make the step in front of door. How do I go on that area? Shall I compact the aread firmly first and then lay the base mortar? or I have to replace the area with hardcore base?
Tidy job stu👍
cheers Karl mate have a nice weekend bud
Nice job, I really NEED to learn how to use this bricks to build a complete house and how the plumbing and electrical works can be done. Thanks
Please I really NEED to learn so much from you.
My back went watching you lift that first flag
Watched this with my just-turned-five-year-old son last night. When it went to fast speed when you were laying the bricks, he got mad and said "Too bad it was all sped up" so I promised him I'd ask whether there are videos of the whole freaking job. :D My son would watch hours of Stu Crompton if I would let him!
Yes Christina there is a paid video course on my website www.bestbricky.com no speeded up footage and full commentary 😁
nice job👍
Do you have to fill it in under the slabs?
TBH I did clock the different bricks you laid but didn't think it would be a problem as they were in the return and wouldn't be seen?
top work
Wheres the best palace to get the weep holes from ?
Cheers from Brazil!
cheers buddy
Great work and love watching you at work. I notice there was a pipe running in to the brick work and was wondering how you tackled that with the flagstone. Did you make a cut for the pipe? Also wonder how any future maintenance to the pipe will be a challenge, perhaps why the step was only one course high.
Do steps need to be 150mm below the DPC like other paving/patios?
How did you dismantle?
Hi stu , just curious but how much do u normally charge for these sort of jobs ?
How much coast these red plastic things?
Absolutely great video mate thank you, please ditch the background music you have good insights and nice personality
Beautiful stuff 😍 really enjoyed that 👌💯💥 well done 👍
Thanks buddy
Great vid - thanks for that! Do you have any advice when there is an air brick under the doorway which would be blocked in this scenario? Also, when it is a concrete base underneath which you would need to build the step onto? Cheers!
Remove said air brick and incorporate it into the brickwork step and then connect a piece of pipe something like a rainwater downpipe over a air ducting pipe to the renewed air brick and poke it through the hole left when you removed the air brick
champion job stu....... :D
Cheers chloe
Sorry my mistake lol I watched it back and saw the rogue faces haha I was going by the tops of the bricks 👍🏻
That tune at 4:21 is a dead ringer for Losing My Religion... P.S Great video as always
can you put up a playlist or maybe some of the artists?
Nice!
Stu I need some steps made at the front of my drive mate u fancy doing em?? Love ur vids lad
Yes bud email in description and if anyone’s else contacts u using my name it’s not true 👍
Were they normal size bricks? I followed your video to make some brick steps for my house but they feel too high. I bought standard bricks from a hardware store. I think I should have used shallow bricks like brick pavers or something.
Where abouts are you based. Do you cover Staffordshire
Solid
You're not using any slurry?
Stu i need exactly this job doing,whats it likely to cost me pal im manchester area if your available
Email me pal, address is in description 👍 united👍
Hi stu lad what's building control for risers/tread etc, so much conflicting info out there. Cheers keep the good work up 👍
That’s borderline to high. 175mm max height for risers. May have squeeze 2 steps out the pos. always like to have the slab up just 10mm from under the plastic cill on door. Am a believer of coming out to similar level of inside.
Normally patio doors 900mm. Top platt.
But regs vary
Cracking work as always stu. I'm trying to do the same ( I'm complete novice). I've been told not to touch the wall on the house because of the damp proof course. Apparently don't build above six inches below the dam proof course. 🤯. What are your thoughts? So much info to take in
how much would you charge for a job like that?
I’m thinking of doing this for my French doors, but as rising damp is a huge issue in my house, would it be beneficial to fit a dpc/dpm to prevent bridging the house dpc?
surprised he didn't do it here, I would 100% use dpm to protect the wall, and a half a bubble gradient on the slabs
Wouldn't of thaught of putting weep holes in a step stu welll done good idea nice job 👍
cheers David mate, yeh just so the winter frost doesn't damage everything
stu crompton you've entertained me again . That's another 10 minutes I didn't have to listen to the wife 😂😂👍
Lol Dave!!!
Hi stu where abouts are you from? Cos if I ever need brick work doing, your defo the man for the job....
Wigan Andrew 👍
Thought so with accent, iam in warrington so if I need brickwork doing my self will give u a call mate, will also pass your name & number on...... keep up the good work mate and excellent videos.
Whats the song name?
Stu if it was build on a solid concrete base - would you still need weep vents? Cheers
How much would something like this cost if you were charging a customer
Stu, what song at 6:00 minutes ? thx. nice job by the way.
darude sandstorm

brill m8
cheers mick pal have a good weekend mate
Кромптон чини велику ствар јер убеђује свакога од нас да и ми покушамо да будемо мајстори.
То ради маестрално.
хвала на коментару који подржава
Nice job stu but still don't look centred to door frame
Nice work and what's the first song called realky nice 👍
how does it hurt by martin hall
@@Jonny-ez3dh thankyou mate
Pretty sneakers
Y weep holes don’t need them in there no tray for a start 😂😂
They will probably paint the brick anyway Iike the house.
They didn't want to move that electrical conduit? That would bug me every time I walk in the door 😄
it was left there for pessimists :)
Where new trowel stu
in my tool bag mate
"Cushty"
Excellent video, but too much loud music.
Love the video but not a good music choice.
Shoddy job mate shoddy job
Only kidding haha
I saw nothing wrong with the bricks at the right end. There is always variation, and those are in keeping with that. Sometimes people can pick anything apart.
Am Rand zum Haus , hätte ich eine Siliconfuge gesetzt. Sonst gute Arbeit
Kiln dried sand swept in-between the block pavers instead of debris...would be best.
it was dried cement, so that was fine. thanks for watching
ดีๆครับ

Exactly
ขอบคุณเพื่อน
Think the lower step is too high. To my eyes, it will be equal height as upper step if it was recessed by half-a-brick into the ground.
