Thanks for watching! - บันเทิง
Hope there is a part 2 to this..looking forward to seeing the end result!
Great artisans are preparing for a great job as always from Stu and Dad.
The Victorians knew how to lay a brick or two.
Or three
The Egyptians knew how to lay a 2 ton block ...... Or million . 🏴
You and the big dog together. Nothing better guys
My daughter's house in County Durham, built a hundred years ago, has black mortar and (had) black plaster on the inside walls. I ripped out a lot of the house out and refurbished it nine years, replaced a lot of blown plaster and modernised the house for her. The 'black' was achieved using what was cheap and available locally back then in 1921/2, coal dust from slag heaps. It goes incredible hard when mixed with water (and goodness knows what else) but the old wall plaster disintegrates back to coal dust when disturbed and broken up. Apart from most inside walls plaster coming off, we took out a redundant chimney too. I ended up looking like a miner most nights, and the bath sides took a lot of scrubbing to get them clean again. It was a job I was glad to finish, took me over six months but it gave a solidly built old house a new lease of life.
I was a roof slater many years ago,when stripping the old stuff you would disturb the black lime backpointing (lime/horsehair and slag) and like you said, end up looking like you had finished a shift down the pits.
Especially bad was the old yorkshire stone, between the pointing and general dirt, would stand in the shower watching the black water run off for a solid couple of minutes.
I dont think my hands were truly clean during the 12 years i had in the trade.
Glad that you're back. looking forward to this one. KC is a proper grafter, I also like a Wigan kebab
Salvaging brick blues. Another fine brickies day
Top job again stu 🧱👌
love this channel presentation , just 2 people doing their work ,getting on with life. What age is dad ?
Great job Lads..Hard Yakka..looking forward to next vid following up.🧱
Looking forward to seeing it being built up again, lot of work there!
Great idea for dressing the bricks
A blue brick with black cement railway viaduct in my town had to be taken down.
Contractor had a big chisel thing on a big excavator and expected to have the job don in a few days.
3 months later he was still at it chiselling out one brick at a time.
Then he went bankrupt and left the job as it is today.
Blue brick are hard.
The black cement is more resistant than stone.
Old mill near me had the stonework deteriorating but the mortar stayed solid and hung out in ribs as the stone disappeared.
looking forward to seeing the final~~
Good idea with the saw stu
cracking work guys your old man is a Leg end.
Looks a great job to do ,best of luck
Hello Stu they new how to build walls in the old days good luck when rebuilding the wall mate I know it's in good hands with you and kc 👍
Nice to see your dad's OK
I've got the same issue on a repair job I'm doing, the mortar is far stronger than the bricks, its like concrete. They're very old bricks so I want to reuse them.
Pure class they are godbless all
Is that a big enough shovel that Dad!!!!😂😂Nice one Stu.
he uses that to collect his cash :)
I reckon the grapht will be worth it.👊💪💯 it will be interesting to see how it turns out 👌
i think its old foundry waste stu. earliest known recycling before it became popular. great to see you back stu. where is the property stu
its in wigan cheers harry
Cheers Stu'

Will you be showing more??
I have done a fair bit of heritage and restoration work, the Clipper saw with a really simple wooden jig can speed things up a bit, as long as the brick has a clean face to start from. I suspect that this tip is a bit late and you have already finished the job, however, next time eh?
I'm sure it will be up to your usual standard at the finish.
Очень хороший инструмент используете!👍👍👍👍👍
KC not bothering with his seatbelt then 🤦♂️
And work boots 😂🤣
Oldschool
Interesting job, built to last in them days
Hey Stu, I'm sure it will be a cracking job when it's all done (part two) but how much did you quote in time roughly, day rate surely . I'm glad the insurance company has got plenty of money
Better using a Hilti hammer drill with a chisel bit for prepping the wall. It’s soft to the touch and saves lots of time.
Won’t be much golf until this one is over.
Is this house on the way in to haigh hall from aspull end?

Did you try a local reclamation yard for same stock ?
I’m not a builder but understand that there are different bonding patterns (?). I think the English brick bond is used to tie the 2 layers of a wall together and nowadays is more often metal ties? How is the 3rd (back/inside) layer tied in on this wall?
The bond course alternates between front and back of the wall. Have a look at the wikipedia article for "brickwork" and it has an image of English bond on a 1.5 thick wall like this one.
👍
Day work job or price stu
Hope you’ve got all your fingers left Stu after cleaning them bricks up on that chop saw…?
Keep up the hard up 👍🏽
100% focus whilst I’m using that mate 😃🧱
Stu, what mortar will you be using to rebuild the wall? I assume cement will be too strong and therefore cause the bricks to blow out over time. So would you use a lime mortar instead?
It wasn’t lime before. I will have to weigh up the mix next week
@@Stucrompton1 Interesting! Do you know what alternatives they had in 1892 to lime mortar? Presumably whatever mix you use it will still need to be softer than the brick to prevent spalling?
Interesting what would they have used in the 19th century if not lime? Whatever it is looks hard!
@@mattlevy9289 @Stucrompton1 I've just read that Portland Cement could have been a good alternative at the time. The colour could be that of ash mixed with lime, but as it's so hard, it's probably a mix of lime and Portland Cement o Portland Cement only. Used extensively in the London sewer project in the 1860s, it started to gain traction in the 1870s, although its strength was not much more than the natural cements. As I understand it, in time, brick layers were mixing Portland Cement and Lime, but as the Cement was refined it ended up replacing it completely and had a strength ten times that of lime mortar. Apparently, this is why mortar analysis is important on historic walls as you well know, to try and match the hardness of the original cement. If mortar analysis can't be done, it's recommended to make a softer mix to prevent spalling. Very interesting and something new I've learned. Thanks!
I work on victorian properties for a living as a stonemason, it wouldnt have been cement when it was built thats for sure.
Down are way, its lime putty, aggregate and coal ash. @andrewwebber2
What happened with Jung
You've got my sympathy ... I once spent 4 days cleaning the bricks after demolishing a 1930s single garage, to rebuild a double garage. That job's far worse.
Do you only do online courses Stu?
I's like to come for a weekend or 2 to do physical courses.
Do you have any upcoming?
Yes mate, stopped teaching to Persue development
@@Stucrompton1Alright.
Thanks for your reply.
Some work cleaning all of them brick but not a problem to you , it will look great when finish .
What caused the wall to collapse? And why is it necessary to restore from this brick?
Falling tree. Be weird to throw away good perfectly matching bricks to go and buy new inferior bricks that don't match.
Can’t get the bricks here. These are 57mm. American i think.
Hope your getting paid well. That’s some serious time in that job
Ouch mate like bell metal that gobo . lucky the wall was down otherwise another week chipping the bricks of lol 👍👍
Tell me about it mark, its one of those jobs ate but will look good in the end. great to be back out there doing a bit.
Yere mate definitely worth it keeping the bricks you would have never looked right getting new ones 👍👍👍
Was it not temping to just get match for the brick at the back as it’s never gonna be seen.
Bet you wished you had after cleaning them all😂😂 flown in from Holland 😂 fair play tho good work
Have you been to beauchamps school before
Big job on Stu and 10” on the way ?
Yea Rob. Literally should be ready late may 💪💪
Fred Dibnah would have had a steam powered saw!
We rebuilt a wall in wigan,for the council and we actually bought. I'm not sure if it was 3 or 4 pack of bricks,exactly same as those but we are going back about ten years ,would have bought new bricks and cut them down with that super dooper saw,because your going to be short 😊
We will not be short because we can use snapped headers. The customer is a bricklayer himself and wanted the original bricks used to match the house exactly, so the option for new bricks is not possible. Plus they don’t make 57mm. He tied and cold only get 50mm
. house some is that bricklayer a as well done hasHe
@catbuilder5474 ?????don't under stand the question were you drunk?
Will you be better to cut some of the bricks in half for the headers to save bricks that were damaged that you can no longer use ?
That’s what we’re doing Jake so we have enough
@@Stucrompton1 it’s the only way forward
As soon as you get those bricks sorted, the Romanians will be in nicking them
Can we assume that (?????) House was spawned during the Industrial Revolution by a Sheffield/Derbyshire entrepreneur ... ??
I bet the same bricks are at other sites too ...
There's definitely no sand in that cement. It looks like Stucco.
It's worth doing some research before you use modern Portland to rebuild the wall.
Good saw, but noisy as hell
Интересно а сколько стоит такое востоновление, это же сложный процесс, в России не видел токого а у вас наверное такой заказ не первый 😮
Luckiest man alive!!!
Kc has got his snow shovel for Justin 😂, nowt wrong wi a growler for thi dinner Stu , if that wall was made from modern crap they would all be broken , but as us mechanics know owd bricks are strong , clean um n pur em back in'th wall fur anover 200 yers 😂😂😂😂❤❤, brick saws mint for this job 👍 😉, I hope your on a day rate 😂😂😂😂😂
we are mike, only way we could do it
@@Stucrompton1 cars at the moment are ridiculous on parts prices , I've been working on a Mazda CX 5 diesel today , replaced an exhaust nox (nitrous oxide ) sensor , genuine dealer part only £697.20 Inc vat for the part , oh yeah plus my 3 quid to replace it 🤣🤣🤣
If you need a hand I’m off work for a few days we’re are you working.
Sir i am Bangladeshi skilled worker work in uk 🇬🇧 so where i can learn bricklayering😢😢😢
You have to learn at college and gain an nvq before you are qualified
Got to get a heavy trap down to save stress of cleaning up all the mortar you chip and cut off bricks. What an annoying long process on brick.
I will take and clean also we’re getting some more stone to top dress
You should have given me a shout I would have made you a cheesecake and you would have had that job done
frog down
What happened to wang Chung or whatever his name was.??
He’s got a job elsewhere mate while I searched for a development
@@Stucrompton1 👍
Привет. Ты можешь делать титры по русски.
Your wrong about jail you get stuff if you keep your nose clean but it ain’t no holiday camp it can be a living hell
