Absolutely brilliant video full of knowledge for people like myself, thank you for sharing your valuable knowledge.
No probs thangs Frank 🧱👍🏽
Great job lads house still standing so must dun something right in 1800 keep up great work Steve n Alex professional as always 👍 👍
Cheers Dave , held together by the render 😆😆🧱👍🏽
Wow remarkable effort and great work on your part - very interesting !
Thanks Maurice 🧱👍🏽
Hi Steve & Alex. Them windows were shocking. All good after you finished. Another great job guys even through it difficult in places. The evolution saw is definitely a good bit off kit for you guys. Have a good weekend 👍
Cheers John . Yeah we were lucky to have been gifted it but if it ever breaks I would definitely buy another one 🧱👍🏽
Fabulous work. The methodical and meticulous way you work really gives the customer a great product. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Cheers 🧱👍🏽
Yeah and they're slowly killing their workers by having them use saws with no dust extraction / suppression.. Shocking to see and wearing masks is the last line.of defence against dust..
Excellent video thanks for your time and consideration top job top team 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Nice one Phil 🧱👍🏽
Spot on job lads 👍😉👌
There's polishing a turd, but with the good work you have done, you certainly rolled it in glitter 👍😉👌
😆🧱👍🏽
Thanks
👍🏽🧱
Those windows surrounds were a bit like a brickwork jig-saw! But, pure skill will always shine through guys, great job!
Cheers Dave, as I get older I get more patience for this kind work so actually enjoy it now 😆🧱👍🏽
Your a brave man taking on some of that work….mind you I worked on an 1802 terraced place in Kent, and it was probably the best limed brickwork needle joined brickwork I’ve ever worked on…in beautiful condition, and obviously done by someone who was a true artisan… it was a little less deteriorated than that brickwork…!!
🤣🤣🧱👍🏽
Fantastic work and thanks for sharing this with us take care
😁🤙🏾🧱👍🏽
Another great video. Lovely teamwork. I was about to ask how Alex and Jason were carrying up that heavy lintel when in the next clip out it popped through the window. Are you going to leave a plaque - "Repaired in 2023" ?
😆😆🧱👍🏽
Good stuff
🧱👍🏽
Interesting job that with the old loose bricks. 🧐 I get the feeling some of these older farm houses weren't exactly masterpieces in late Georgian times ? Be interesting to see it all rendered up but the wobbly bits will remain to be held in by the render. 😁
I think they install a mesh mat first Doug but not entirely sure 🤔🧱👍🏽
@@SteveAndAlexBuild Yes they prob do. I can only think the building was thrown up for a farm tenant to live in. Cheers guys 👍👍
@@Doug.... farmers aren’t known for extravagance and spending money they don’t have too 😆🧱👍🏽
@@SteveAndAlexBuild Yes quite 👍👍
This is proper big boys stuff
💪🏼💪🏼😆🧱👍🏽
There wasn't a lot holding those windows in, another job well done.
Just the render 😳😆🧱👍🏽
Been up a few years that house .like the repaird date you should have done a date for the next lot lol👍👍
👏🏽🤣🧱👍🏽
Top job. Should be good for another 100 years now, with some decent render 😊
🤙🏾🤙🏾🧱👍🏽
good job lads , not the easy its of jobs to do , but its turn out well 👍👍😃😃
🧱👍🏽
Well I saw it advertised and it had 14 minutes to go before you were on then for some reason my eyes close and that was it i missed you sorry lads thanks for the video
I know that feeling 🥱🥱😴😴😆🧱👍🏽
Out of interest Steve was the render cement based or lime?
If cement based - that’s why the bricks are so badly perished.
Lime mortar needs to breathe - the render is trapping moisture within the bricks that’s why any remedial work on historic buildings should also be done in lime mortar.
Keep grafting - great channel
Rock hard extra strong pebble dash, 3 and 4 layers is render on top too 😬.
Every job that has been carried out on the house has been done badly in the past 🙄🧱👍🏽
Hi Steve and Alex, you missed a trick there lads, where was YOUR plaque saying "Repaired in 2023 by Steve and Alex"?
We ain’t done yet 😏🧱👍🏽
Ohhj!
🧱👍🏽
Polishing a turd, the best of British english, love it!
😁🧱👍🏽
Repaired in 1886 when the hell was it built, it looks like a gust of wind would blow it over, bulldose it and start again
It’s bloody solid with it being 9” 💪🏼😆🧱👍🏽
Hi Steve and Alex - Brilliant content as always.
I've been watching your videos from afar for some time now, while being in the property market and having a firm awareness that the properties I've been looking at would likely require maintenance beyond conventional DIY standards.
If possible, I would like to ask a question if you, or anyone exprinced would hav the time or willingnesss to answer.
The property I've bought is showing signs of lintel failure, or potentially not having any lintels at all - It's a 1965 construction so I'm aware there's the potential the original windows were considered part of the structure and as such, lintels may not have been required up until the point of PVC windows being added.
My concern is with it being cavity walls, that the lintels run into and support the inner leaf and I'm yet to find any content anywhere which displays the removal and subsequent replacement of lintels of this type.
From your videos it does seem that the angled lintels are the most commonly used in properties around this age/construction range.
I'm quite confident in replacing thm myself in the event there's no lintels, or they're angled, having attentively followed all of your videos - But I'm curious if this is arrogance instead of confidence.
I completely respect the work you both do and how attentive you both are, which is ultimately the foundations of my confidence. You touch on every aspect of installation, removal and replacement.
I respect each job is different, but would it be foolish to assume/expect the job at hand too be similar to what I've seen in your videos?
There is a good chance that a 1965 house will have timber lintel on the inner leaf and and an angle iron or nothing on the outer .
I would honestly say it definitely isn’t a diy job and it only looks easy because I have over 30 years experience and done dozens of these jobs now . .
I would recommend getting a good qualified bricklayer in to do it .
Good luck
Steve and Alex 🧱👍🏽
@@SteveAndAlexBuild Thank you for your reply, I completely respect how busy you are and your expertise.
Please don't mistake my oversimplification as implying this is an easy or small task. I have a firm understanding and respect of your trade and the experience and skillset required, which is precisely why I'm so intrigued and attracted towards tasks of this nature.
My intention is to veer off into property development and back towards my initial academic background of mechanical engineering, having veered into software development some time ago. This is why I want to undertake this task, so I have a firm footing, understanding and respect for the work and skills required.
Again, I have the upmost respect for your skills and experience and from my profession, I'd assume it's similar to myself coaching someone significantly more junior (albeit chances of injury are drastically smaller as a software developer aha). The junior always expects it to be easy, but fails to factor in what they're observing isn't just logic, but experience.
Logic is a foundation which when all goes well will serve you well, but experience being what navigates you through the unexpected, less conventional, yet more efficient routes.
Thank you once again for your time. You'll have a life-long follower in me. Your content is truly second to none in information and attention to detail.
Thanks very much .
Good Luck 🧱👍🏽
Alex without hard hat with chunks of concrete blocks on end of scaffolding. Scary 😳
🧱👍🏽
I like this. Not a lot of talking and more working.
🧱👍🏽
Assume being an old building that lime mortar was used between those soft red bricks. If so, a concrete render on top is a recipe for disaster in the long term. Hope the new render is traditional lime.
It would have to be if its a solid wall.
No idea 🧱👍🏽
Sadly the fate for a lot of old buildings in times past. People thought they were doing a good thing by protecting the old walls with a hard, impervious layer, but we know how that ends now. My own house is part cob and stone in Devon and I'm convinced we have a good bit of concrete render on the back which causes damp problems in the kitchen. It's on the long term list to fix when I can afford it!
@@stevepettifer4896 🧱👍🏽
Is that solid brick walls with concrete render? Bet the inside is nice and damp since it probably has no chance to breathe at all. Is it being re-rendered in lime or something more breathable than cement? That Evolution saw is a beast.
Not sure about the finish and yes we love the evolution 😍💪🏼🧱👍🏽
Poor old house, one that would definitely benefit from EWI prior to rendering.👍
🧨😆🧱👍🏽
@@martin2466 🧱👍🏽
nice job. Why did you use the big concrete lintels over the windows? when you use the little 3-4mm galvanized angles over the other windows in other videos? thanks Lee
Because it’s a solid 9” wall, no cavity and it will be rendered 🧱👍🏽
Can you hear me now 😂
😏🧱👍🏽
Steve! Speak up please! At 20:00 you were too soft to hear. The cars on the road were overriding you. Other than that the new sound system is great, and the wind fuzz on the mic really cut the wind noise.
Sorta dumb question: The concrete lintels are steel reinforced? I especially like the "taking it apart" bits as it reveals older construction methods. Keep it going....
Thanks very much . I don’t think the mic was on during the quiet bit . 😬🧱👍🏽
I did one windows half way done and I am so sore and can't even move right now.
🧱👍🏽
well done chaps ,,steve did you do your training on that n do that stone 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂[sorry] would it not be easier to start on the right n just go all the way to the corner on the 1st 1 n then start on left for 2nd
🤔????
It looks like you were laying those commons with a butter knife. I can’t find a butter knife like that in the states. Is that a family heirloom?
It’s a pointing trowel 😆🧱👍🏽
I thought you weren’t meant to put concrete lintels on exterior walls ? And been the rules for 15 odd years . All the ones we have done for window firms had to be catnics .
Can’t put a catnic on a 9 “ wall 🧱👍🏽
@@SteveAndAlexBuild of course you can the square metal ones , catnic make all sorts of shape lintels. I mean a square metal lintel . Fitted hundreds of them .
Still no need on a solid wall . Concrete is far stronger than an angle iron .
Guys I love watch you two and more since new mics came in I can hear you better now but only thing now I feel that can be improved a lot stop using crap music plz drives me way from watching all best lads
🧱👍🏽
What was that material Steve that was above the old lentils ? It looked like a type of sandstone.
Hi John there were a couple of stone heads still there 🧱👍🏽
At least you two are putting the effort in, unlike the terrible job done on the facia, windows are a bit tacky too, period buildings require a little attention to detail, job well done lads 👍,🧱
Cheers Mark 🤙🏾🧱👍🏽
You just need a small green screen to do an outro and put the video of the location behind you and no one will know !! 😉
😆🧱👍🏽
Difficult job you had today. Looks like window installers mascaraed the brickwork to fit their windows and covered the big gaps with tons of foam! Not mentioning their handy work with broken stone lintel and a rotten plank supporting it. I guess it wasn't rotten when they put it in :) They weren't ethical tradesmen like Steve and Alex, that's a given.
No buliding regs bags in the 1800s 😬🧱👍🏽
@@SteveAndAlexBuild The house was built then but windows replaced in recent years 😎
@@soundslight7754 Those timber lintels pre date the plastic windows by a long time 😬🧱👍🏽
@@SteveAndAlexBuild Cheers Man. I didn't appreciate that. I thought it was a cut off piece of old fashion thick scaffolding board 😀
@@soundslight7754 😆😆🧱👍🏽
@30:00 can you do stereo?
Yep 😁🧱👍🏽
lol you cant polish a turd but you can roll it in glitter.nice job again lads
😆🧱👍🏽
Great video and a really good end result, especially considering the condition of the brickwork you started with. Glad to see you were provided with some proper conveniences although guess it might have been a touch chilly 😂😂🚽🧻
Cheers Andrew 🥶😳🤣🧱👍🏽
