What a lovely neat job both👍 Great matching of bricks and so neat as always. That mortar mix in the beginning looked delicious and almost good enough to eat. 😋
Hi Steve and Alex. I’m on holiday and can’t keep of the building work lol. Great little number not to much graft and mainly brick work. Nice neat work guys🧱🧱👍
might be worth trying two cameras at once. one for steve and one for alex. is that possible? two videos in one so we can see see both working at the same time. keep up the good work. i learn a lot from your channel.👍👍👍
I've worked on that house they are a lovely couple I had the job of replacing failed doors in the kitchen not the best kitchen I've come across tbh it wanted ripping out and refitting
Lots of conservatories being demolished or altered now, dwarf wall back in late 80s, cheapest extension you could have, now, brick and bi-fold is the way to go, nice little job you have there 👍🧱
Hi Guys. I'm not a builder so please excuse my ignorance, but just wondering why there isn't a vertical break & a DPM in the existing wall where it joins the inner & external walls which Alex is building. p.s. love watching your channel.
Steve / Alex, that mix looks superb what’s the ratio, also I’m building a raised planter out of blocks what’s the best blocks to use I.e breeze blocks and will a single block 2 high be strong enough ? Just to put decorative stone in, love you guys so good in in your work and I wish you lived in the North east lol 👏👏
Cracking match for the bricks lads .Jobs come thick and fast dont they .You got a lot of work booked up. Also be interesting to know on a vlog or something how you compare these private jobs to site work ie whats the pros and cons of each and which you one you think is better .I no the answer but that would make a good vlog see what you both think now you been on privates over a year now easy isnt it. Good luck lads 👍👊🧱🧱
@@SteveAndAlexBuild Be a good video lots of people thinking of doing private work and jumping ship so yea be interesting to here your thoughts steve on both 👍👊
Lost a little respect when you put a closure in. It may be up the side but should be a half then three quarter. That's the sort of thing I expect of DIY
@@gpet23 Thwre isn’t mate . Believe me a lot of time went into trying to make it work . In my opinion multiple pieces looks even worse than a near closer but there is always someone who will say we are wrong . There is no wrong or right , it down to personal preference and opinion.🤙🏾🧱👍🏽
Hi may I ask how much this costs and also does this need planning permission or not Please do you also work in Durham? Please send me your number Many thanks Leah
Hi you need to check with your local authority. Can’t guess a price without seeing a job in person unfortunately . I’m afraid we are in Lancashire 😬🧱👍🏽
Who edited near the end watched your dad finish your side right to the top then back to dads side it was up to nearly the top window then bam we could see dads was half way up and yours 2/3 up 🤔🫤 confusing but spot on mortar mix and spacing 🧱🧱🧱

Yes mate great customers . Yeah the doors have failed and a new kitchen is a possibility 🥺🧱👍🏽
How did you attach the profiles on the external end next to windows. Was it dutch pins ?
They are Blake’s intermediate profiles . They attach themselves. They are brilliant 🧱👍🏽
Hi chaps. How do you know the footings/foundations are up to the job? Curious, as I'd like to replace my cony with a sun room.
We haven’t added a lot of weight to this job but digging test holes to check the footings is usually the way forward 🧱👍🏽
Lots of conservatories being demolished or altered now, dwarf wall back in late 80s, cheapest extension you could have, now, brick and bi-fold is the way to go, nice little job you have there 👍🧱

I was wondering the same thing, wouldn't damp work it's way across to the inside.
Some people think its needed some people dont 🧱👍🏽
Good days work that. I was tired watching it. 🙂
Thanks David 🧱👍🏽
whats your mix for laying bricks is it 3 to 1 and it is looking really good thanks for the video
No Eddie too strong 😬. Always 4 to 1 🧱👍🏽

Hi Rob , thanks .
We mix 4 building sand to 1 cement . The important part is the concentrated plasticiser .
Use 7 Newton solid blocks 👌🏼🧱👍🏽
Brilliant guys and thank you, keep up the brilliant and neat work 👍
@@robthompson819 Cheers Rob 🧱👍🏽
That's the fastest I've ever seen anyone lay bricks. Don't know what your taking but it can't be legal.

When I make mortar it is more like wet sand. When you mix mortar it is more like a soft creamy marzipan. Why?
it depends on the sand but mostly the plasticizer 😉🧱👍🏽
@@SteveAndAlexBuild ahh that’s were I go wrong. I didn’t use plasticiser.
@@Land-of-reason That’s like making an omelette with no eggs !!!,, 🤣🤣🧱👍🏼
@@SteveAndAlexBuild that is the way that my father made it. To be honest it wasn’t very good.
