Nice nice looking forward 👍
james swain . See you Friday pal 👌🏼🧱👍🏽
Yes Alex, bend your knees when lifting! I’ve found out the hard way the past two days laying porcelain paving, my back is in agony 😂 top job as always lads! 👍🧱
Morgan The Builder Cheers Morgan mate 💪🏼🧱👍🏽
This work was beautiful, sir! Yes indeed. I'm in Pre-Apprentiship, and these will be the small type projects I'll live for.
Thanks pal and best of luck 🧱👍🏽

Barrington Smythe Cheers Pal 🧱👍🏼
another gooooood job.
David Mathews .Cheers David 🧱👍🏼
Excellent video well done lads your the best 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Phil Glover . Nice one , thanks Phil 🧱👍🏼
Nice finished job 👍🏻
Liam G Cheers Liam 🧱👍🏼
Toma cuidado com a coluna meu amigo...nosso trabalho na construção é exigente com a parte vertebral.....
MÃO NA OBRA MIRO STARSUPER . Same here only small jobs . Hope your in good health 👌🏼🧱👍🏼
I have laid many of them 3x2 slabs 2 inches thick I use to lift them up and stick them on my shoulder and walk about with them now I am older I ain't so stupid I bring a sack trolly if I know I am laying them but they are great for step threads, good job as per usual 👍
wheaten bread . Cheers pal we think we are invincible when we are young and stupid then realise when it’s too late 😬🧱👍🏽
Sack barrow a must on the 3x2,s for sure.
L Milne . Yeah but we avoid these at all cost 😂😂🧱👍🏼
Nice work , looks good guys 😎
Jay Puyenbroeck Thanks Jay 👌🏼🧱👍🏼
Cracking job lads stay safe.
Les Gill . Thanks Les , you too pal 🧱👍🏼
Nice job. I'm sure I've cut slabs with same stance, but some say stand to the side for safety, but then harder to get the cut line vertical, which could also be a danger to snagging. Nice trick with the bag to catch the dust. Would a hose save the disk (make a mess of drive though). Can brace elbows on knees for heavy lift from the ground, but that does then stress the upper back. Could trolley them round. Look forward to the next one.
John Coppock . Thanks John , the best way is to avoid those flags at all costs 🥵😂😂🧱👍🏼
@@SteveAndAlexBuild Yes! I remember breaking most of mine up and reusing as hardcore. Tricky what goes well with traditional bricks to make good steps. You have made a safe set of steps (for long term) which is the important thing. Good job, and look after the backs.
John Coppock Cheers John. 🧱👍🏼
Gotta say you do that very quick
Cheers Martin 🧱👍🏽
Top Job 👌💯
Thanks pal 🤙🏾🧱👍🏽
Getting my Friday fix 👍😂
ozzyefc44 . Thanks for the support pal 👍🏼🧱
A good old school robust job, and the usual high finish .Not easy work with access and mud ect .
Ronnie Biggs . Cheers Ronnie 🧱👍🏽
Another great job, turned out lovely....however the top of the steps not being level with the bricks either side of it would mess with my OCD lol
Dj C Cheers pal , I get what you mean 😬🧱👍🏼
Exactly how I do them m8👍🏻
Nice one Bob 💪🏽🧱👍🏼
Superb job. Solid. Everything you do looks designed to last. I'm wondering if you lads ever built a nuclear fallout shelter, lol.
🤣🤣 💪🏼🧱👍🏽👍🏽
👍👍
Ricky Warfield Cheers pal 🧱👍🏽
Hi Steve Alex.
🌞 Get yourself a descent mask for cutting I've now got copd☹️.
Question Steve,on top slab onto garden you didn't show what foundation you put underneath it to stop future wobbling.
As usual a good job to you both.( In the past with small steps Cavities I'd infill with conc and wast to try to avoid internal swimming pool.
Retired oap.
william william Cheers William , it was just rammed clay underneath the top flag . I always wear an fp3 when cutting now 👌🏼🧱👍🏼😷
mike gallimore 🧱👍🏽
Good work guys and well explained 😃🧱👍
george barker . Cheers George , glad it made sense 🧱👍🏼
Evening guys
MrStella1976 Evening Pal 🧱👍🏼
Each week mate I watch you I always pick something up your quality love the ton bag trick with the dust opening it up, like I said mate quality !
Mitchell Meredith Thanks very much , much appreciated 🧱👍🏼
Thanks for liking my Instagram Steve!
Mitchell Meredith 🧱👍🏼
Could all most taste the dust when you cut that second slab..
moxie mulgrew 😬😷😉🧱👍🏽
Hey Guy’s really enjoyed that video, step detail looks awesome, love the additional detail in the centre for more support, all the best Tony 👍
Cheers Tony 🧱👍🏼
We see you using the level but is there a minor fall with the steps? for rain and such
Legion . Yes pal , always put a fall on steps 👌🏼🧱👍🏼
Hi boys, another cracking video 👍👍. You're proper going to town with the editing now 😉.
They look like council slabs so I can guess how monstrously heavy they were 😱😱.
I liked the fact that you've protected the brickwork below ground - nice touch 👌.
Looks lovely, bet your customer is chuffed.
Hope you have a great weekend.
Regards
Tim
Tim Margereson . Cheers Tim , I usually use 450 x 450 s no need to cut and easier to manage 💪🏼🧱👍🏽😉
What foundation would you have to start it on when doing it ontop of the lawn ?
I would say a good 100 mm of concrete 🧱👍🏽
@@SteveAndAlexBuild with hardcore ?
Yes maybe about 100 mm well compacted 🧱👍🏽
Don't leave your extension lead coiled.... it leads to electromagnetic induction, causing heat and a fire hazard. Always fully uncoil your power leads.
Thanks for the advice Gordon 🧱👍🏽
Great video,i ve got a question for you..its my first time building some stairs..i ve got a patio sliding door,the height its about 70 cm from ground,how many steps do i should build and what size should be each by building regulations? thanks in advance!
Hi Florin thanks for watching.
I’m not actually sure about building regulation sizes to be honest, maybe google it .
I personally makes my steps 2courses of brick high per step and I usually use 450 x 450 mm flags for the treads .
🧱👍🏽
@@SteveAndAlexBuild thank you
No probs , thanks for watching and commenting 🧱👍🏽
Your work is top class mate. Keep them coming 👍
Gary Douglas Cheers Gary , plenty more to come 👌🏼🧱👍🏽
Tidy job as always you dont youes acid when washing brick work ? Hope you are keeping well are you two back to the day to day work
mark dwyer Cheers Mark . We use acid but diluted 👌🏼🧱👍🏽
Must be nearly summer in the old blighty. I see you have the board shorts on. Freezing today in Sydney must be about 16Deg C. And winter not here yet officially.
Michael Magill yeah since we went on lockdown it’s rained maybe 3 days out of 7 weeks ! All those wasted work days 😩🧱👍🏼
Looks brilliant, certainly isn't going to budge anytime soon. All that concrete dust though from using the disc cutter!
Ragieza thanks pal. 😷😬🧱👍🏼
well done guys ,,, see where alex got his knobbly knees from lol
mick broadbent 😂👌🏼🧱👍🏼
Nice job as always Steve and Alex 👍👍
Cheers pal 🧱👍🏼
Enjoyable 20 min. Cheers lads quality video
Mark Craig Thanks , glad you enjoyed it 👌🏼🧱👍🏼
Another great job, very tidy as always
Michael Lovett Cheers Michael 👍🏽🧱
This is time lapsed with no verbal instructions …
Sorry we will do a proper one soon 🧱👍🏽
Good work, nice detail. Thanks for sharing, new subscriber look foward to seeing more of your content 👍
Marco P . Nice one and thanks very much for subscribing 🥳🧱👍🏽
What grinder and blade is used?
We use a Blue Bosch 9” grinder with a multi material Marcrist blade from Screwfix 🧱👍🏽
@@SteveAndAlexBuild thanks. Looks like Amazon is £25-£75 cheaper for the Bosch, just in passing in case anyone is interested.
You have to stop giving me excuses to buy stuff.
@@bipedalspecies2086 you can never have too many power tools 🧰 😏🧱👍🏽
Evening lads! Lovely neat job as normal.....3 by 2's eh? Bloody devil's work....especially if you are laying them on your own! Loving the confidence in the uploads nowadays.... far cry from the shy, mumbling Steve of this time last year 😉😂😂
We didnt choose the devils flags, there wasnt much to choose from at the time. As I said to Mark Hep , best place for a 3 b 2 is a skip !!! 🤣. I am getting the hang of things now , its so much quicker and easier to talk about stuff than be writing in captions 🤯 🧱👍🏽
Easy to underestimate the amount of bricks used for steps.
Loads more than you think. 👊😂
Unless you’re a pro. 😬🤔☺️
GediSpock . Oh I’ve learned the hard way and run out too many times 😤😂🧱👍🏽
I’m catching up on your videos and enjoying them I love watching people doing different crafts Nice job fellas
Sgt Mark Texas USA
Cheers sgt mark 😁😁🧱👍🏽
Nice work. What mortar ratio did you use for the slabs ?
007 Whitezy Thanks pal , we just use bog standard 4 building sand 1 cement 👌🏼🧱👍🏼
Music in this video sounds like dead mouse?
😆🧱👍🏽
What are you using for end bricks on the brick on edge, is it a similar brick or specially made one ?
We just used solid engineering bricks 🧱🧱👍🏽
@@SteveAndAlexBuild Thanks for reply, very helpful 👍
@@Mike-fx4wk 😁🧱👍🏽
🍺🍺🍺🍺👍🏻😆😆
Bob Hendry 😂🧱👍🏽
my goodness that first step is huge... id kill myself on those. but they're beautifully done, i just think 1 more step is in order.
Thanks very much but that step won’t be that big when the patio at the bottom is installed 🧱👍🏽
Great
WorldHAX 🧱👍🏼
Hi Steve/Alex, what timelapse setting do you use? I'm having a driveway built I'd like to film and it's going to be a typical workday over 6 days. I'm thinking intervals of 5 seconds.
Marcus . Hi Marcus , I think we are on 2 second intervals for daily stuff . I think 5 seconds sounds about right for such a long time span , keep the camera plugged into the mains if you can 🧱👍🏼
@@SteveAndAlexBuild oh I definitely can. Thank you so much for the reply mate. Hope you can watch the video when the time comes :D
Marcus Look forward to it 🧱👍🏼
Miss those new builds back in Uk 🇬🇧 May have to visit just for to jump on a plot! Everything is so different here in Canada 🇨🇦 I enjoy your videos brings it all back for me thanks lads.

@@SteveAndAlexBuild am always happy got 5 kids man 🤬 nar bin ok just getin pissed off with stayin at home now god bless
Chris Whitehead 🧱👍🏼
Nice even treads lads once back filled with type1 and paving maybe?? 👍
Dave Barrow . Yes Dave , the customer is going for flags now instead of decking 💪🏽🧱👍🏼
Will look class👍
Dave Barrow . We will put a pic on Instagram when it’s finished 👌🏼👍🏽🧱
@@SteveAndAlexBuild it's your house though. So when you refer to the customer do you mean your other half,? Lol 😁
james swain . No pal this ain’t our house 😁🧱👍🏼
Looks good!! How long did it take?? 👍
Tim Foster Thanhs pal start to finish about 2 days 🧱👍🏽
Bricklaying With Steve and Alex cool, keep up the good work!! 👍
Tim Foster Will do 🧱👍🏼
Top drawer👍👍
M H . Cheers pal 🧱👍🏼
Thanks chaps its given me the confidence to make a 2 step in my sons garage…
That’s great to hear , thanks very much 🧱👍🏽
You must have some advanced alien tech in that vans suspension 😂
😏😬🤣🧱👍🏽
Un bonjour de Belgique, je regarde souvent vos vidéos, j'aime beaucoup ce que vous faite, good work
Thankyou very much 🧱👍🏽
Hi Guys, Great video. How tall was that wall please?
Thanks it was approximately 475 mm high once the patio flags were laid 🧱👍🏽
Nice job lads, are those ‘Redland’ PCC Pavers? What are going to do for drainage in the garden and deck area?
Stuart Nagle . Hi Stuart no they are just 65 mm solid engineering brick 🧱. There is a drain for a downspout at the corner of the house , perfect to run an aco into . Flags are going down now 🧱👍🏼
Bricklaying With Steve and Alex... actually I meant the paving slabs you used for the steps...lol...not the bricks...make sure you put in a silt trap before the down spout...
Stuart Nagle 🤣ah I get you . We are done now we don’t do flagging 🧱👍🏽
11:25 That's made me realise I need to replace my cutting disk. That would have taken me about 30 passes 😂
Nigel 😂😂💪🏼🧱👍🏽
Have the links for the grinding disk been removed? Cracking video guys! 👍🏻
No tool links any more . But that blade is a Marcrist blade . About £40 from screw fix . Excellent piece of kit 👌🏼💪🏼🧱👍🏽
@@SteveAndAlexBuild Thank you for the info, I have the same angle grinder as you and that blade cuts through like butter. 👍🏻
@@stuglover1526 . It’s a good n 👍🏽🧱
Love you guys, smashing work 💪🏽
dalturbo . Thanks very much , glad you like the channel 🧱👍🏼
How do I know how many bricks I need?
That’s depends on so many things . 🧱👍🏽
what's your mud mix here ?
grassabrutta . It’s 4 to 1 .... building sand to opc cement 🧱👍🏽
Looking excellent, top notch job. Really great job lads 👍 and Steve sir you don't look your age.
Still can't understand why you didn't do a higher fence on the right hand side?,
Oooooo did I hear you say decking? Looking forward to the video for that!
Keep up the good work gentlemen 👍💪
james swain . I bloody feel my age 🥵😂.
The customers wanted the 3 foot fence and he had decided to go for flags instead of decking . Neither of which we will be doing . They are 2 jobs we won’t tackle 😬🧱👍🏽
@@SteveAndAlexBuild for some reason I thought this was your house? I thought you said this was your house? Oh I got that wrong.
Why won't you do the flags? Your do a lovely job? And you didn't do the fencing? Again I thought you would/did especially as you got no site work at the moment?
When I finish my outbuilding and tackle my garden wall I hope I can make it look as nice or close to your fine looking brickwork.
👍
james swain . I can do flagging but prefer not too . It is a neighbour so we did the fence though . Good luck with your projects 🧱👍🏼
@@SteveAndAlexBuild ah I see. If you change your mind make sure you film it haha 😁
Your craftsmanship is a pleasure to watch and learn from.
Thanks 👍👍
james swain cheers James 👍🏼🧱
Nice neat job looks great 👍
Cheers Graham 🧱👍🏼
Hai Guys, nice work !!
Gé van leeuwen Thanks very much 🧱👍🏽
Yeah, like your steps Steve & Al, simple design but solid and look the part to. Moved a few of those flags around my self and christ they're heavy, defo a 2 man lift. Suspect your using Marcrist discs or possibly Norton judging by the ease of cut on those monsters, always try for Marcrist my self, the best in my humble opinion. Looking good guys.
Thanks pal , not a fan of those flags 🥵. Yeah the blade is a Marcrist .. top quality kit 💪🏽👌🏼👍🏼🧱
Excellent job
😁🧱👍🏽
More quality
Cheers Nick 👍🏽🧱
Wow , so interesting
Cheers Jay 🧱👍🏼
tidy job
😁🧱👍🏼
Make it look so simple 👍
gary pace . Thanks pal , practice practice practice 👌🏼🧱👍🏽
Bricklaying With Steve and Alex top notch vid ma man 👍
gary pace . Cheers Gary 👍🏼🧱
The first two will come slack after a year or two as they aren’t built in
Daniel Mayberry No they won’t 🧱👍🏼
Bricklaying With Steve and Alex been there,seen and repaired enough over the past 35 yrs
Daniel Mayberry . 2 years longer than me but these ain’t budging and I have never built the flags in 🧱👍🏼
Bricklaying With Steve and Alex I always build them in as I can’t be bothered with the hassle of customers coming back,also I have had to rebed loads over the years where folk have cut a 2x2 in half and bedded them on, another pet hate of mine too is leaving voids under the flags because believe it or not I’ve had to repair broken flags where someone has dropped a pot onto the flag and left a hole
Bricklaying With Steve and Alex another thing I have done when rebedding slabs (flags) when bedded on top like that is cut slots along the hidden edge for the compo to get a grip of
I think you would need a pair of steps to get up the first step, it must be 14 inches hIgh!!!
Robert Pilkington . I don’t know if you’ve noticed but the clay isn’t the finished patio . There is hardcore and flags to go on yet 🙄
