@@Stucrompton1 hi stu great job, can you tell me when you build a porch do you have to work to an exact size or do you have some play to work it to your bricks and half bricks etc, for example if the customer wanted a porch 3mtr by 3mtr, and that landed funny on your bricks could you just go an extra half brick to make your runs easy, cheers
Great work mate. Had to buy some bricks to fix my drain. Took me 20 mins to find 12 bricks that weren’t chipped up. Yes they’re less than £1 but just looks a mess when your finished!
nice job and good technique but I've had 37 years on the trowel and can still remember the rollicking I got for tapping the level during my apprenticeship
All your vids are great but when you do brick laying your epic! Wish you had done these before though ha as this was the bits I struggled finding info on when I started on my extension, I'm finishing internal blockwork today 👍
yes i have steven, i got my eyes on a campervan then i will be mobile but i dont know anyone down south so may need help, yes i can do some other trades aswell. :)
this is a very good way of bricklaying and thanks for it, now I see what I have been teach in theory by our lecturer but I am not yet touch the work. :)
Completely agree mate. We work hard to get jobs and hard to earn money and when we go to get materials most of the time we get a sub standered products. Great job tho mate
hi Stu, neat work your doing, just layed engineering bricks but got them a wee bit dirty how can l clean them, been told to use brick acid but been told it can eat away the mortar joints. wot would you use thanks Dave.
Always happens when you get less than a pack of brick. Unless you go get them you’re self and pick good ones the lads in the yard just bash them about when stacking them and the ones that people take back cause there chipped they just send them back out the next customer as well .
It could be worst stu a few years ago I built a wall and when I was jointing up I saw the brickys nightmare . A serial number I felt like crying as luck would have it .it wasn't visible
Keep on with hand or forearm on that knee {keeps pressure off the back} and keep them knees bent. Just pointed it out for everyone else... You already know
Great video 👍 may I ask a question- how deep do you make your footer? Is there a general rule for footers - like 5 ft wall , use 5 inch footer, or 10 ft wall, use 10 inch footer.
I love watching your videos! Cheers from Canada! Silly question but Is it ever to late to get into the masonry trade? I'm 31 and have been interested in learning this for a while now...just haven't got on it yet cause a part of me is saying it's to late...thanks! Take care.
r w .... go for it, never to late to learn a new skill. As the saying goes, 'you're a long time dead', 31 is plenty young to learn a new trade. Good luck!
Hi, what kind of money to do that , only, twice that height in concrete block cement rendered, include the digging of footings? A rough price , ball park?, much appreciated, thanks
,I'm about to do my first bit of proper bricklaying, and that "dead-man brick" has solved a problem for me. Btw would you ever use a brick line level? or is that just a toy for amateurs :) Thanks Stu--You the Man
you can use whatever helps mate, i just prefer working with the level because you need a very tight line to use that and u cant always have a really tight line setting out because you may move brick
Pretty sure you should order 10% more bricks. to allow for chipped or damaged bricks. What I normally do. Unfortunately to will always get chipped or cracked bricks.
Hi Stu I am going to be building a single storey extension in Leigh around the end of July and I am looking for a brickie as the one I use has retired would you be interested
I notice that in some houses in England have five or six rows of stretches then one row of headers ! Are thay solid brick walls ? They're very strong looking walls ! English men are the best brickes I think ! I've seen some of the fine Tudor brickwork still there today . Cheers Stu 👍👍 Is that English Garden wall bond ?
Could the chipped bricks not be taken back for refund, or pointed out at time of delivery? Or am I being naive? Great vids though - apart from the hideously loud music. Very helpful, thanks.
Adding 10% on order to allow for mis-cuts or miscalculation is one thing, adding 10% because some of the bricks are damaged is another. It does not make sense unless the supplier is giving you a discount for the fact he is selling you second-class goods. No where else would you buy extra to allow for faulty goods. When you buy a new TV do you buy two just in case the first one doesn't work? When you buy 6 new pair of pants do you by 7 because you figure one or two might not be any good? No, you expect to get what you pay for.
Hi Stu Why have not returned the internal brickwork where the door is .saves on bridging the cavity at late date.. ie floor screed. Just like to hear your view on that.
You are the "Paul Hollywood" of bricklaying! Thousands can do it but not like you. Brilliant as ever.
Hah cheers nicnak

Exelente trabajo lo felicito mu gustan sus videos
Top job ive finished another wall meself 369 bricks two walls to be exact eitherside of a drive way
Gavin R small walls 396 bricks
david jones one before that was over 900 retaining wall down side of a house
Do you ever use ready mix?
Maybe it’s time to invest in a new memory card, with the Quality of these Videos! 👍😂
Beautiful weather for brickwork 💯👌 I’ve just completed a garden wall.
Send the pics in to email in description 👍
Yes... u r professional.....
hi Stu, neat work your doing, just layed engineering bricks but got them a wee bit dirty how can l clean them, been told to use brick acid but been told it can eat away the mortar joints. wot would you use thanks Dave.
Good work 👍
Always happens when you get less than a pack of brick. Unless you go get them you’re self and pick good ones the lads in the yard just bash them about when stacking them and the ones that people take back cause there chipped they just send them back out the next customer as well .
Yes 1st great work lad keep it up
thankful
I use to work at a builder's yard and I always give extra because of that reason use to take the piss because I was a builder before I started there
why you do not use horizontal damp insulation on the foundation?
Top job,,,
Very smart stu did you do the garage?
Hi, the bricks should be double wall until top? Or only half? Thanks
What size cavity have you get there stu, got my first private coming up
Simple question - what's the purpose of holes in bricks?
How do builders calculate how to get the last brick to perfectly fit in the middle of a row?? Or does it not always work out that way?
It could be worst stu a few years ago I built a wall and when I was jointing up I saw the brickys nightmare . A serial number I felt like crying as luck would have it .it wasn't visible
Nice bud how long do you leave it till u starting pointing up
Keep on with hand or forearm on that knee {keeps pressure off the back} and keep them knees bent. Just pointed it out for everyone else... You already know
Stu what camera do you use for your timelapses mate?
I see people checking the wall is level but how do you ensure it's plumb? I look at walls and it blows my mind how straight up they are built. Thanks
Ensuring the corners are built plumb, then running in between should be plumb as long as the corner is, when using a line, you can also use a profile
How about doing some back to basics. Eg, how to mix mortar.
Look at my channel I have a video on that
stu crompton yes thanks stu just seen it. Good stuff. You make it look easy though. Tried building a smallish retaining wall last year. Took me ages.
good
Great video 👍 may I ask a question- how deep do you make your footer? Is there a general rule for footers - like 5 ft wall , use 5 inch footer, or 10 ft wall, use 10 inch footer.
How did you make up the difference in the brick sizes?
Not sure what you mean John this is an old video
@@Stucrompton1 You said at the start that you could only get two different sized bricks, so where and how did you sort out that?
How come you switched from ox then to Marshall town trowel then back to ox?
i just tried that tyzack trowel but prefer the ox im going to do a video about it
I see! Great work by the way!
Where is the part 3 of this video
I love watching your videos! Cheers from Canada! Silly question but Is it ever to late to get into the masonry trade? I'm 31 and have been interested in learning this for a while now...just haven't got on it yet cause a part of me is saying it's to late...thanks! Take care.
Never too late buddy go for it
r w .... go for it, never to late to learn a new skill. As the saying goes, 'you're a long time dead', 31 is plenty young to learn a new trade. Good luck!
Do you need different bricks for below dpc? Whats the gap between the outer and inner skin
spenceational86 frost resistant
Ever work to 900s?
Muito bom amigo!
Hi Stu. Will the inside brick be visible after the floor is poured? Just curious why you didn't put block in? Or is this the standard for the UK?
Yes the chipped bricks is alway pain
Hi, what kind of money to do that , only, twice that height in concrete block cement rendered, include the digging of footings? A rough price , ball park?, much appreciated, thanks
Where you from. I can help you . £250 a day 2 skilled workers
How much would you charge for this
How long you been on the trowel stu?
15 darr
Fairplay m8 can tell you love it , im 24 years in :)
nice one Darr pal

That makes sense. Thanks for taking the time to answer. Tony
(that music so loud.. I lower volume)..(Stu starts talking..up the volume,,music starts again.. MY EARDRUMS ARGGHHH!!!)
BOA TARDE STU,,TUDO BEM?
obrigado por isso meu amigo

Hi Stu I am going to be building a single storey extension in Leigh around the end of July and I am looking for a brickie as the one I use has retired would you be interested
Should be 10%extra stu for waste
Maybe it's just the video but some of those joints on the front look pretty tight… 10mm?
Kevin Moore it’s either that or open up 100 mil, he made the best of the situation
Try doing penny joints at only 2 mil on restoration works....
Can u take a supporting wall down for business please?
Nice work but you should always allow 10% waste
❤❤❤❤
Aways allow 5% on materials.
I was told once to allow an extra 10% for the shite bricks in the pack.
I notice that in some houses in England have five or six rows of stretches then one row of headers ! Are thay solid brick walls ? They're very strong looking walls ! English men are the best brickes I think ! I've seen some of the fine Tudor brickwork still there today .
Cheers Stu 👍👍
Is that English Garden wall bond ?
Nice job....kno where your coming from with b.m. they dont give a toss what they give you it must a national thing grrr
Could the chipped bricks not be taken back for refund, or pointed out at time of delivery? Or am I being naive? Great vids though - apart from the hideously loud music. Very helpful, thanks.
I can’t handle watching a bricklayer use a ox level only use stabila my old man would go nuts if I got a different level 😂😂
thats the trouble with society, scared of change and to be different. i love my level its brilliant
The ox level is better than any level I've had in the past fantastic bit of kit
Name and shame the merchant
Awesome Bricky but your music in the videos killing me but of course I’m a American
To be fair, if you need 100 bricks for a job, you should be allowing 10% for wastage, damage etc.
My point it you order 100 brick because you want 100 brick not 90
Sorry Stu, should have put "adding", not "allowing". Nice job btw.
Adding 10% on order to allow for mis-cuts or miscalculation is one thing, adding 10% because some of the bricks are damaged is another. It does not make sense unless the supplier is giving you a discount for the fact he is selling you second-class goods.
No where else would you buy extra to allow for faulty goods. When you buy a new TV do you buy two just in case the first one doesn't work? When you buy 6 new pair of pants do you by 7 because you figure one or two might not be any good? No, you expect to get what you pay for.
Those bricks are like seconds.
There like seconds.
I think that too mark, they were all shapes
Hi Stu
Why have not returned the internal brickwork where the door is .saves on bridging the cavity at late date.. ie floor screed.
Just like to hear your view on that.
