- A small job bricking up an old drafty window. The inside has been done in the past but the outside was left .We took out the frame , toothed out , cleared out the cavity and put in some insulation ready for the brickwork. we used new cheshire pre war 73mm bricks .
We also needed a scaffold to reach ......enjoy

I don’t know what it is with us old retired brickies we just can’t keep away. Thanks for replying back, if the bricks were that thick then it makes sense to get the best match possible and to be honest it didn’t look that bad a match and will probably weather down ok.
No problem, I appreciate people taking the time to watch our channel and enjoy chatting back . I started uploading videos about 3 months ago after I found myself coming home from work and watching bricklaying videos and thought I’ll give that a go 👍🏼
Phew, that opens a right can of worms about the match-up (NOT) between Imperial and metric standard brick sizes. I had to learn both systems during my apprenticeship and it was a total pain. Some godawful lash-ups were to be seen in the times before wall-starter kits were marketed or Imperial bricks were reintroduced for matching up.
brando6BL .Just had that problem on an extension. Trench block and 100 mm block up to DPC leaving 3 face on the outside (225 mm) problem is it’s 73 mm brickwork ( 249 mm) so the brickies finishing off the brickwork have got a load of cuts to do !
Great job clean tidy very professional but surely you could have got secondhand bricks that would have matched better in colour and brick length. I’m a retired brickie and that’s what we would do most of the time whenever possible.
I could have got a load of free ones but I find re claimed are always on the big side in depth . Even on this job with new Cheshire pre Wars it was really tight getting them in and filling the toothers. The house brick were a bit strange as they were very narrow . Thanks for watching and commenting. We have another video of a garden wall where we have re used the old engineering brick 👍🏼
If only all trades were as good as you. I always seem to get cowboys.
Thanks Mel , sorry to hear that 😕🧱👍🏽
At least you got a better brick match than the other ones, brilliant job as always
Cheers Gary 🤙🏾🧱👍🏽
Good job that,, Wheres you’re partner, the young lad?,, can’t you get him off Fortnight!!??

Keep them coming
seamusfoster ha ha 😂, Alex has had a torn shoulder muscle so missed a lot of work lately and he avoids weekends if at all possible 😬. He is a gamer but prefers COD zombies 🧟♂️.
Thanks for watching and commenting pal 👍🏼
Very smart
😁👍🏽🧱
First: nice, tidy job. As mentioned it should blend in well given a few years.
brando6BL nice thanks pal , it is hidden behind a shed too 👍🏼
good job are the new bricks slightly shorter
zaid hussain They may be a bit smaller with being brand new .
Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏼
Bit of a tan there fella, its been a balmy few weeks up north!
oldmanfromyork It certainly has, but I refuse to complain , just making the most of it while it lasts ! Working on site we hammered as there is zero shade so it’s factor 50 twice a day !
Bricklaying With Steve and Alex I find a layer of brickdust and a sunhat works fine for me. Suncream on the nose though!
oldmanfromyork 😂😂
Nice brick laying man
Thanks very much pal 🧱👍🏽😁
Big up , men . Good
Shawn Lion . Cheers pal 👍🏼
Sweet! Great job Sir!
Thanks pal 🧱👍🏽😁
GREAT VIDEO. GOOD JOB. Would really like to see you put out a video to properly build,plumb, square block leads. Some people have their own methods. I want to know the quick correct way of properly and quickly building a block corner lead. Would very much appreciate it. Subbed to your channel..
Thankyou for the great feed back , and for subscribing👍🏽 we film a lot of our work so im sure ther will be one with a block corner in the future
Great job..how come the inside was already bricked up..:)
I couldn’t tell you pal , it was done before the customer bought the house , just laziness I expect ,
Thanks for watching and commenting as always 👍🏼
Good job as always, quick question if I may, what plasticiser do you use?
Jim Jam . Good old washing up liquid 😬, I normally use The concentrated plasticiser where you only put about 10 millilitres into a mix but forgot it .
Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏼
Thanks for that
Jim Jam . No probs 👍🏼
Sensacional o trabalho..coisa de primeiro mundo...um forte abraço
MIRO STARSUPER MÃO NA OBRA Muito obrigado 👍🏼
nice clean job
Adam Khan . Nice one thanks Adam 👍🏼
Hi mate, currently watching all your window bricking up videos as I need to brick one up, what mix did you go for please? Ive got a 1930s, with a cavity, it has been repointed with sand and cement in the past but original looks lime behind this.
5 soft to 1 cement so its not too hard? Not sure theres any pont puting lime in the mix for a small area?
I watched one of your other videos, alex asks what the mix is and you tell him the chargers broken 😂🤦🏻
🤣 We used to just mix 4 to 1 for everything but we use lime more and more now 🧱👍🏽
Great job! Why on earth would it already be bricked up behind the window! 😂 it’s like the matrix.
Cheers . Yeah good point .
It was done in the cheap originally 😁🧱👍🏽
Double brick home. Our hime here in Canada, same way. Circa 1928.
🧱👍🏽
Is that a fiberglass or rock wool insulation? Things are definitely different on my side of the pond but love seeing how things are done around the world. Great work as always
John Wargo . Yes John it’s fibre glass . They are called cavity batts . They come in rectangle sheets 4ftx18inch and widths from 2inch up to 4 inch . If you watch our extension video you will see the insulation in more detail .
Thanks for watching and commenting from over the pond 👍🏼
Maybe a silly question. Are the bricks above the window quite stable without a lintel? There's no risk of the wall collapsing before you get a chance to brick it all in?
Matthew Woodyard Hi Mathew such a small opening is fine without a prop 👌🏼👍🏼🧱
Big perps:o
jamie miller Yeah unfortunately, new brick are never perfect , the bloody beds were tight though. 😳. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏼
So it’s not just us old ones.
Edward Lees 😂nope
Nice job. Roughly what do you think I should be paying someone for a job like this? Exactly the same just a little higher up and bricked on the other side as well.
As a total guess not being able to see the job I’d say minimum £400 🧱👍🏽
that 's better
😁🧱👍🏽
Metric or imperial bricks?
The Essex Hunter I used 73 mm Cheshire pre Wars mate 👍🏼
metric then.....lol just teasing as I work in both on my lathe and mill...
Rember Dad setting out the gauge marks on a profile and pulling the lines tight as fcuk lol
🧱👍🏽
What did you use to cut out the halves was it a drill
Hi Graham , I used a 9 “ grinder to start then finished off with an 8mm masonry bit in our sds plus drill 👌🏼👍🏼🧱
the colours dont even match and you tell me that is a great job !!!
It’s a fantastic job . The house is probably 100 years old and the bricks are brand new . I’m a bricklayer not a magician. The video is probably nearly 2 years old and you are the first to complain about it 🙄
