Nice one pal
Very cool videos !! I always watch your work. Hello to you from Russia. A colleague I am also a bricklayer !! I wish you good luck on your way !!!!
Everyone needs a sturdy milkcrate ! Top bit of kit
Another great video Stu.....as with all great tradesmen you make it look effortless.
cheers jamie mate, plenty practice ha
Does the bottom of the new bricks require a foundation as such? or just a straight forward bricking. And do we need to let the council know? or getting planning permission?
Your the best Bricky I have seen
im honoured matthew
I am learning to be a bricky
What is the second song in this video
Rob songer.
you still do bloody good work mate
Great video as always stu mate
+Ashley Prisk cheers ash
great work i started in 05 myself
i got like 7 old prefab floor to ceiling windows that need bottoms bricking up along with a porch its gonna be a freckin nightmare when finally can get it done..obviously need a good tradesman lol ^^
Nice video as always stu these are really helping me with my bricklaying course I'm taking, keep it going mate!
thanks mate
A fantastic video stu.excellent bricklaying pal 😁👍🏻
Your mortar is always so workable. How do you get it like that?
plasticiser
Wow beautiful good workmanship
👍 - I think you said in a previous video you don’t like to brush bricks. You brushed them in this video - was that because it was getting rendered?
Because some bricks leave flakes. I will
Brush them off.
Here in the states there was a period of time when it was popular to brick a wall with access mortar squeezed out and left unfinished. I think it was a terrible look. Did you have that style in the UK?
Stu, why didn’t you use the same brick as original? And changed to the red 🧱
the house is being rendered so it doesn't matter
Looking good 👍👊 :) mate as always
Great vid as normal - thanks for posting - I am learning loads.
hi Barry they was originally being painted but now the house is being rendered so it wont really matter
Bang on Job Stu! Quick question for you, I've got a garage which I want to convert into a room. My neighbour had hers done and they dug a foundation for the wall. Is this something that needs to be done or can you just build the wall on the existing concrete floor?
providing the slab is checked and sufficient thickness and this was :)
Cheers fella!
How long did that take you please?
More quality face work Stu👍👍. Just wondering, if it's all going to be rendered, why go to trouble of matching the bricks?
+justy crusty originally the customer was not opting for render but now they are
Why do you brush down diagonal ? Is it so you don't leave brushstrokes in your lines ?
do you need planning permission/ building notice to complete this work?
Nice work
Morning Stu I love watching your videos you're a real craftsman. I'm about to embark on bricking up garage to create a window for conversion this is my first time brick laying. Do I need to dig deeper footing or can I build straight on to the garage concrete slab.?
Wow you’re a brave one. You have to find the thickness of slab most times it’s sufficient
Nice work how many bricks can you lay in a day
about 650 properly mate
Will have you doing my brick wall when i move house for my garden your best i have ever seen spot on top man
I'm watching your videos for some time. You're master. Can you please tell me what concrete mix do you use for brick lying?
quickly becoming my favourite channel! good job mate
cheers mate
Hi Stu, good video!
Can you help me out? Lintel at the bottom of a garage door before bricking up? When/how is this done?
I’m confused & need your expert help!
Cheers! Oliver
I was thinking the same thing be the video doesn't mention it.
Another top finish.
Question: are the bricks below the dpc engineering bricks or just standard ones? Does it matter if its not engineering bricks? Cheers Stu.
Nice stu
cheers Ben mate
Hi mate, gunna be doing this on my own house soon, whats the minium cavity between brick and block? cheers
Outstanding!
Hi Stu, was there a issue with you building on top of the slab? I am about to do a garage conversation was wondering if I would have to dig down of I can build straight on top
The footings of the house went straight through the garages as there is no point stopping the dig at the garage points.
stu crompton thought that would be the case, thanks
Bit of point here what mortar ratio do you mix?? great work
4:1
Top job
How long did that take you to do? Good video.
about 3 and half hours scott but i was labouring on myself too
keep up the good work, hope u can work in winter too :D
What is the song where the vocalist says "heavy metal was the only thing for me" great song
The song at 4:00
great work and great video keep em comming
Was the customer having the front landscaped ? Maybe just an idea to put some cheap osb board or dust sheets down, makes cleaning up faster too 👍🏼
they were having a driveway, but its hard to cover every single aspect in the video people always find something
Thanks for that Adam
dpc must have mortar on both sides.
So i know i am not getting ripped off, how much would something like this cost (roughly) considering the concrete slab is sufficient as foundation. Thank you!
Stu, what is that piece of cloth/plastics you put down between courses? (I'm not a builder, so this stuff isn't obvious to me.)
jvaldeuxo it's damp proofing
Carl Wormley Thanx bud. Didn't know one could do that.
Mauert ihr bei euch nur so? Also mit Mörtel und Stoßfugen? Oder nur bei so flick Sachen? Ich kenne aus Deutschland nur das Mauern mit Dünnbettmörtel und teilweise die Kimmschicht in Mörtel. Annsonsten gute Arbeit und sehr interessante Videos .
What about a damp proof course?
Wonder why the mud board is on the ground.
Brilliant job as always Stu.....those bloody bricks though look awful to work with 😕
they are the worst ive ever come across paul!
stu crompton the frequency of uploads is great mate, keep it up 👌🏼👌🏼
10x mate
Hi Stu, like watching your videos mate, you come across as a good honest tradesman and not like some of the bullshitters I sometimes see In the trade.
Just two queries, why no airbricks to a timber floor and why ox tools.
Thanks for your reply.
Andy from St. Helens
Andy Hill because Ox tools are the future!!!
The Blonde Bricky thanks, i have a whs for small jobs and beam filling but it's like a spoon now so was looking for a change... and ox look good for the price too.
Andy Hill definitely! Ox Range has loads of sizes of trowels to suit! Think stu is using a 12" bad boy in the video!
Why put the additional strip of dpc on the 3rd course????
+Ray Bailey to match up with existing dpc and safe measure thanks for watching
How much does something like this cost? I’m bricking in my garage door, but a little less than this.
Blocks not bricks if it's getting rendered?
Yaaaaayyyyyyy
If it got rendered why didn’t you use blocks ?
Because the customer changed their mind when the bricks were in
stu crompton was just wondering wasn’t an meant to sound arsey
hi friend come to srilanka as a tourist
Put a sheet down stu much neater an less cleaning afterwards
Where’s the foundation
The foundation was the big slab of concrete that car would have been parked on
Should of put the old brick on bottom courses
Cheers
What price
If it was being rendered, why didn't you just do it out of block? Thats what we do. Saves time and money
+TrollArts because it's not being rendered straight away it will be a few month so I was asked to do it like this, thanks for watching
Let you of stu it’s getting rendered lol, I’m a bricklayer myself got to say your work is neat excellent brickwork
Молитвено тибе желаю быть творцом мира радости и любви.
Like 👍😄
:) thanks fabiana
So why do you bother point it up if it's getting rendered?
+Jason Chen it's a more sealed finishnand pride in the job mate
Jason Chen Just to add to that customer might change mind, so it's better to rub brick work up
Why has that brick on the bottom curse got huge bed under it why not just re cut a new brick so it looks beter
yeah fair enough then mate fuck i hate when they always change there minds pisses me off!
So beautifulCan I work with you
brick is a decent match color is way off tho mate
Wtf does (being rendered) mean???
Covered with a material
why would u match the bricks?? and bother wasting your time jointing when its gonna be rendered ???
Customer changed their mind to rendering and pride in the job
Them bricks don’t match, wrong colour
Nice brick work but looks crap with different colours of brick owner is mad
Its gonna be painted he said in a previous video
