Thx for the video’s I am subscribed. My father started life as a bricklayer many years ago, prior to plastic drainage, as a boy I worked with him. Watching you both is interesting peaceful creative and for me nostalgic. Interesting the tools levels gauges now available however the fundamental part of the trade remains hard work and taking pride in creating new and refurbished buildings!👏👏👏
Thanks very much John 🧱👍🏽
What a great end to a hectic week of work with a relaxing download from you. Great brick work as usual. Have a great weekend lads.
john lewis . Cheers John , glad you enjoyed it you too 👌🏼🧱👍🏼
liked, commenting and subscribed previously. I build my radius walls as you do. I find it easy for some strange reason laying freehand and plumbing the perps. its therapeutic even. anyhow enough of that. good job guys. on the move next week my missus and I. bought a bungalow, we aint getting any younger steve. remind alex to look after his knees they don't last forever.
harry godwinson Cheers Harry best of luck with the move 🧱👍🏽
I couldn't take my eyes off of this video. I loved it. I wonder how it all turned out. Great job!
Thanks 🧱👍🏽
Reversing the level on curves. Perfect boys. Some folks don’t understand 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🏴🏴
Bob Hendry 💪🏽👌🏼🧱👍🏼
I would have shat my knickers if i had been asked to set that out. Brilliant job.
😆😆🧱👍🏽cheers buddy
Getting better on the mic Steve! - massive improvement. Really like hearing you walk through what your doing.
Matt Cartwright Cheers Matt it took a while but we are getting there . I feel way more confident now and it definitely improves the videos 👌🏼🧱👍🏼
You have earned your sore back today Steve and a very neat bit of work . I can’t get on with a 30mt fibre tape as I always think if I pulled it to hard I would gain 20mm so I prefer a steel one.
You must be an asset to the builders because as you know “ some civils gangs “ just blast in the foundations without much regards for the following trowels . Ps your filming and attention to detail is spot on .🧱👍💪🇬🇧🎥
Ronnie Biggs . Thanks Ronnie that’s very kind , especially the bit about our filming etc because that bit is all new and a big learning curve for me 🙏👌🏼🧱👍🏼
Love watching the videos and skills lads! So accurate as well 👍. I am fascinated on how you set out ,brilliant! . STAY SAFE EVERYONE! ☺😷👍
zulu59 blue Thanks pal 🧱👍🏽
Smashing job..hope you rain isnt losing you work..great information too
my pencil ART. Wayne Bailey . Cheers Wayne . A lot of 3 day weeks , we’ve lost a lot of time and money 😒😒🧱👍🏽
Great video lads. Been waiting for a curved wall video not many on TH-cam.👌👌
Evan Beard cheers Evan , glad you liked it. 🧱👍🏽
Another super job. It's most interesting to see how curved walls are set-out and built. Your attention to detail is admirable and the finished result is a great credit to you both. It looks amazing, thank you very much for posting such interesting content.
Christopher C . That’s very kind Chris thanks very much. We do enjoy building radius walls 👌🏼🧱👍🏽
Excellent as usual Steve & Alex, Nothing wrong with that at all. Take away lines and profiles etc for radius work and your left with your trowel and level which is where the SKILLED Bricklayer comes in . You two have that in abundance.
Spartrowel . Nice one thanks very much 👌🏼👍🏼🧱
Brought back memories, of site work, cracking job marra.
les gill . Cheers Les 🧱👍🏽
I have been watching some foreign bricklayers near us on a housing estate, why are the brick walls white all over now the walls have dried......., plus different batch colours of bricks make it look untidy. Loving the calm videos.......
Mark Newman Thanks Mark . The white stuff is efflorescence. It’s the salt coming out of the bricks , not surprisingly when the bricks are wet like many at the moment . As for the colours it’s called banding . You are supposed to mix 3 packs at a time to get a good mix but loading bays in site only hold 1 pack at a time hence the Banding 🧱👍🏽
Your slick with that blade steve, looks a ball buster lol
Cheers pal thanks very much 🧱👍🏽
Cracking video lads! First one I've seen of yours, really good! I'm not a bricklayer but a site engineer so really helpful stuff.
Keep up the good work!
MAH Engineering . Cheers Pal . Over a hundred more to see 😉🧱👍🏽
I really like your work. Brilliance!!!
Kgotlaetsile Modieginyane Thanks very much 🧱👍🏽
Nice work I like things that are a bit more challenging. Steve how many years have you been at your craft?
Thanks Mark . Roughly 36 years 🤙🏾🧱👍🏽
@@SteveAndAlexBuild that 36 year’s experience shows in your pride of your workmanship
@@sgtmark8844 cheers pal 🤙🏾🤙🏾🧱👍🏽
Great work as always guys.....just out of interest who is it you subby to when your doing these site bits inbetween your own stuff extensions etc?
C Jackson we work for a firm called Hanley groundwork’s 👌🏼🧱👍🏽
@@SteveAndAlexBuild thanks that makes sense now wondered why your putting footings in upto dpc etc...but not doing anything on the superstructure side on the site stuff you do. Keep up the good work guys and keep the content coming really enjoy it 👍
C Jackson will do thanks very much pal 👌🏼🧱👍🏽
Top work as allways guys really nice job 👍👍👍
Mark Hep cheers Mark , have a good n pal 🧱👍🏽
Steve and Alex another top video really amazing work think the curve was a couple of mm out 😂👍💪
Rob Dixon Cheers Rob, a couple too many 😬😂👍🏼🧱
Very good job, you are a hardworking professional! 👏🙌👍
Max von Raben cheers pal 🧱👍🏽
Lovely work that mate
thanks pal 👍🏽🧱
Quality work as usual for you lads. I love a radius. Takes a good bit of skill to do right. Got a massive Ha-Ha wall on a radius to build soon. Bet I don’t get a radius pin...
Probably not , this is the first half decent one I’ve had 👌🏼🧱👍🏼
Looks a cracking job lads 👍👏
Cheers James 👌🏼👍🏼🧱
Top video again lads, enjoyed it! Have a good weekend, cheers 👍
Peter Ayre Thanks very much Peter , you have a good n too 👌🏼🧱👍🏼
Very nice brickwork :) I'm looking to build a few walls for a garden project I'm working on, sure to get a few tips from here
Thanks Dave , glad the video has helped 👌🏼. Good luck with your project 🧱👍🏼
Nice job 😀all level work and full perp joints that’s what I like to see.
Mark Worthington Nice one cheers Mark 🧱👍🏽
lovely wall that.

Quality work as always, really interesting video. Thanks boys. 👍

When I did footings laying blocks flat I used a shovel for for bedding then spread with trowel sounds crude but it was quicker !
david inger . We do that occasionally 👌🏼🧱👍🏽
That's how landscapers do it
Tristan McCauley 💪🏼🧱👍🏽
STEVE COULD YOU TELL ME PLEASE WHEN YOU GOT YOUR RADIUS ON YOUR BLOCK WORK YOU USED HALF CUTS TO MOVE AROUND BUT DID YOU HAVE TO CUT YOUR RED BRICKS TO SHAPE THEM AROUND THE CURVE I COULDNT HEAR ON THE COMMENTARY PROPERLY THANKS LOVE THE PROGRAME STEVE AND ALEX
Hi Lin a block is 440 mm long so cut in half they are 215 mm the same as a brick . As the radius was large there was no need for smaller cuts 🧱👍🏽
Great to see. I've got a very similar project this Summer and picked up several tips from this video. Thanks for sharing!!
Nathan Brown Nice one thanks Nathan , glad we could help , good luck 👌🏼🧱👍🏼
Esperando por aqui..Brothers
MÃO NA OBRA MIRO STARSUPER 😉💪🏼🧱👍🏽
How do you work out the point to measure off for the radius? Like you’ve got 3 metres but how did you know where to go from
Trial and error on this job 🙄🧱👍🏽
Bricklayer from Germany here. I love your mortar looks so smooth must be a blast to work with.
Cool channel by the way!
Hi Leonard , it is good stuff to work with . We are very glad you enjoy the channel too 🧱👍🏼
Built a 22m one as an apprentice... It paid for my new central heating amongst other things !
🤩💪🏽👍🏼🧱
Should have a can of fosters or beer of your choice at every plumb point that way you don’t forget to plumb it lol
KierenBOI MUFC 🤪😂🧱👍🏽
Why is it that craftsmen like two make it look so simple that you encourage idiots like me to try the same thing? Lovely job!
Paul Hampson Cheers Paul 😂😂🧱👍🏽
At Least you're willing to give it a go.
Tristan McCauley 🧱👍🏽
Nice job as always lads!
danny wilkins Nice one thanks Danny 🧱👍🏼
It would be weird if you live there now and stumbled across this video.
😆😆🧱👍🏽
Just shows you how sad our lives are, we go out and lay bricks and block all day then come home and watch someone else doing it on TH-cam
betty swollocks Yep 😂😂🧱👍🏽
Better than the architect who spends all day looking at plans, gets home, has his tea and then his missus makes him watch Grad Designs XD

Hi boys great job. My old man did tuck pointing I couldn't get on with it. Do you do any?
glyn owen Thanks Glyn , I’m embarrassed to say after over 30 years bricklaying I have never seen it done and don’t actually know what it is 😬😳🧱👍🏽
@@SteveAndAlexBuild hi Steve just enter tuck pointing, Tim stannard has the basics and some guy shows a lovely job. Enjoy, have a go
Cheers keep well
glyn owen 🧱👍🏽
great job lads👍
Thanks pal 🧱👍🏼
Nice job lads good thing about site work is striking point is usually already set for you which is always nice, I have a love and hate relationship with radius work as it is nice when finished but is to slow with to much plumbing and leveling for my liking but laying brick is laying brick which is a struggle at min👍
Yeah usually you get “yeah just stick it over there “ but on this occasion it was all set out nice. Never mind setting brick it’s a struggle getting out of the van lately 😒👌🏼🧱👍🏽
Fantastic job as always. Do you take on those jobs miles away as a filler because there is no local work?
Nigel bob no not at all mate we were sent there 🙄🧱👍🏽
Great job indeed but I am thinking why you didn't go with Flemish or English bond while laying the bricks?
Raghav Mahajan Thanks , To do Flemish it English you would need to snap all the headers because the two skins don’t line up 😬🧱👍🏽
Did the engineer set the foundation too low against the garage? Or did they set it for the House coursing? Suppose it doesn't matter to much with coursing as there will a vertical movement joint there.
Mark Neilson It’s usually down to the garage or house footings being out so the bricklayer has to either pick up or bed down which throws the levels out . They should course in it will just look a bit ropey 🙄🧱👍🏼
Great video lads. This has given me the inspiration to build a curved brick wall in my back garden. How do you deal with the radius difference from the outside to the inside and tying it altogether? 👍
John Godding You can’t beat a nice radius 👌🏼. Your radius line is always the face of the wall that you are working from . As I build the front I then do the back course for course and just make sure it’s always 215 mm 👌🏼🧱👍🏽
@@SteveAndAlexBuild Thanks for the reply, cheers guys.👍
John Godding no probs , thanks John 🧱👍🏽
10 out of 10 keep them coming thanks 👍🏻
Steven Pemberton . Thanks will do Steve 👌🏼🧱👍🏽
Another great job lads, keep 'em coming
Thanks pal , will do 🧱👍🏽
I'm not a brickie, but was wondering how you tied the two skins together apart from muck, didn't look like you bonded them together, did you use ties or anything?
The Agenda Cavity ties pal 🧱👍🏽
@@SteveAndAlexBuild Nice one thanks.
The Agenda 🧱👍🏽
Well done lads!
Nachson Santos Thanks pal 🧱👍🏽

Top work lads 👍🏼
Papà Santi Thanks pal 👌🏼🧱👍🏼
Great work as always lads 👍 quick question tho, how do u determine the position of the radius pin when setting out?
I’ll be honest the radius pin was already in from when they set out the dig. 😬🧱👍🏼
Hi Aaron. The site engineer will fix the pin in advance . His drawing ( or he will work out) the coordinations to work along side the site drawing , and then using GPS satellite on a remote instrument he will set out and fix the pin . In my experience they are usually spot on .
Ronnie Biggs mmm 🤔🧱👍🏽
Bricklaying With Steve and Alex Go on were did I go wrong?
Ronnie Biggs you were spot on Ronnie but our engineers rarely are 😩😆🧱👍🏽
Greetings from the Emerald Isle of Ireland,love your videos, keep up s gd work, just curious if you needed dpc on that wall,?
minecraft king Hello over there in Ireland 👌🏼 no dpc in garden walls as it weakens the wall 💪🏼🧱👍🏽
Been waiting for this bad boy. Thank you lads!
Rob no probs thank you Rob 🧱👍🏽
4 cold ones in the fridge to enjoy with this vid... well 3 in the fridge. You builders are awe inspiring. I'm a decorator, but in all honesty, given another shot at life I would have been a builder. Superb to watch. The skill and intelligence is incredible to see put down and created. And amazing to see a dad pass on his knowledge to his son. Anyway, I'm missing my video. Cheers 🍻
Rob . Thanks Rob that is very kind of you to say and we really appreciate you watching and commenting on our channel , nice one pal 👌🏼🧱👍🏽
Was needing a refresh on a radius wall ! That was a good wall shame you never liked that site
Thanks john , we bloody hated it up there 😩🧱👍🏽
I love the music you always seem to play, like old school trance. Like it when it kicks in at 1:25, do you know the name of that tune?. Can you maybe list the music you play perhaps in future videos?
EnglandTiliDie . We are glad you like the music . I don’t actually know any of the names as they are just downloaded from the TH-cam free music library which you get to from the TH-cam editor 👌🏼🧱👍🏼
Good job 👍🏻
craighughes craig Cheers Craig 🧱👍🏼
No need to clean the concrete before put the blocks over?
That concrete is spotless 😳😁🧱👍🏽
Great job! Plenty of concrete in that foundation?...
Richard Powell Thanks Richard , yeah and plenty of room for me and al to work . It’s a solid 9” wall nearly 7 foot tall so a lot of weight in it 😉🧱👍🏽
Love it...just wish my attempts turned out so neat.🤣
Geoff Heath 😆cheers Geoff 🧱👍🏽
We normally use lengths of skirting board as a radius guide to set the wall out, saves using the tape once in place!!
That’s another good method , I’ve used that in the past too 👌🏼🧱👍🏼
Or a hose pipe! I've done that a few times on a small job
Ross Male 🤔👌🏼🧱👍🏼

superb guys ,,but yucky conditions take care
mick broadbent . Cheers mick , these conditions were great ! I even had my boots on . You should see the conditions we are in at the moment 😬😧🧱👍🏼
What would you do for a tighter radius? say 2m instead of 3m?
Definitely snap headers 👌🏼👍🏼🧱
Bricklaying With Steve and Alex do you have an example?
Steve O sorry we don’t have any videos of a tight radius at the moment 🧱👍🏼
The 2 best things we inherited from the victorians, how to lay bricks and build steam engines.

What’s the prices like per brick up your way?
J B £550 per thou on facework even on these walls 😫🙈🧱👍🏽
Bricklaying With Steve and Alex tite enough on them radius walls
J B It certainly is ! 😡🧱👍🏽
Isn't that trench fill exceedingly generous for a boundary wall???
Matt Cartwright . It certainly is but we ain’t complaining 🤩👌🏼. Seriously though the actual walls are over 6 ft when finished so there is a lot of weight going onto that concrete 💪🏽🧱👍🏼
Show 🏘🏘🌎🌎🌎
MÃO NA OBRA MIRO STARSUPER Many thanks 🧱👍🏼
Couldnt see if the wall was gauged with the house but if not could have always put a course of slips underneath the first course of bricks to get it to gauge with the garage. Tidy job overall though especially considering how much harder building a curved wall is compared to a straight one 👍🏻
It did gauge in with the house , unfortunately the garage wasn’t level with the house 🧱👍🏼
Haitch Wilshere one end was gauged with the brickwork. The other wasn’t. Only way round that is to build out of level. And that would look pants.
MrOitoyboy 🙄 it would indeed 🧱👍🏼
@@SteveAndAlexBuild That explains it. I was wondering why the bricks at the garage end looked weird where it joined.
Probably no ones fault this,quite common for two properties to be different in heights that doesn't work to gauge. Really silly this I never understand it
What r the prices on big house build now?
Not sure pal we get less in the footings than the lads on the supers 😤🧱👍🏼
Just shows how the building trade prices have stayed stagnant for years n the dicks with the hard hats pointing fingers taking the cream
Why would you walk on a job n not no the prices the knobs above u will be laughing there heads off they don't know good workmanship never picked a tool up in there lives but tell u how to do your job 👊😂
Kris Wild . Very true 🙄🧱👍🏼
That's why I stay away from that shit work. £170 day rate building 10 houses quality over quantity the guy I work for knows good work pays good money. 42 millionaire that's says it all get a good workforce look after them n they will make u money
Whats the tolerence for a job like that?
William Peckham . I’m not sure as we only build the foundations. Other brickies complete the wall 🧱🧱👍🏽
So is every "curve" approximated as the arc of an imaginary circle??
👍🏽🧱
Pukka lads 👌👍🇬🇧⚒
cheers ryan 🧱👍🏽
I'm taking it the walls don't line up with the garage because someone didn't include the mortar in their calculations or too much base was put down.
That's some job you two did marrying everything else up though and doing that radius.
It’s just a slight difference in levels between the house and garage . They should have been level 😯🧱👍🏽
@@SteveAndAlexBuild and now it's a feature and blamed on the apprentice that never was 😷
😏🧱👍🏽
Only way you could of done that was build the wall out of level? Or gauged down from the garage brickwork to start with and bumped your block work up!
Not sure what you mean pal 🧱👍🏽🤷🏼♂️
@@SteveAndAlexBuild you wasn’t level with the garage pier. You explained the only way you could of got it level was to build the wall out of level? You could of gauged down from the garage pier at the beginning and bumped up the block work
@@robnew915 Then it would have been out of courses with the house . If the house and garage aren’t level with each other then matching the courses means the wall won’t be level 🧱👍🏼
@@SteveAndAlexBuild you have how many steps in it? Could easily have dropped it back down to house courses in the step downs without it being noticeable or out of level!
@@robnew915 Out of level is out of level whatever you do with it
