Blooody love watching you work mate Al your a lucky lad 😁😉 your old man is showing you the way of the force young panda wan. So many rough tradesmen out there only in a rush to leave at lunch time everyday and don’t possess the skills/ knowledge or the conscience to produce a high level of workmanship like you both do. Keep up the good work lads.

Cheers 👍🏼👍🏼 keep them
Coming
mat ivie Cheers Matt I will be honest the stone is a bit of a guess and the brick and blocks are 60 brick to a square metre and 10 block to a square metre.
1 ton of sand = 1000 brick , hope that all makes sense 👌🏼🧱👍🏼
good job guys. thumbs up. get some clash on the juke box steve. its therapeutic. ho ho ho.
🔊🔊🧱👍🏽
Excellent 5 stars for work and video
Nice one thanks 🧱👍🏽
Them lintels looked heavy 😬
Nice job mate
SJB Brickwork . The bloody 8 ft ones were ! 😳💪🏽🧱👍🏼
great work as allways
Edd Jordan nice one cheers Ed 🧱👍🏽
some nice work there bud , but ive had it with twany buff bricks was laying them for 12 months on our last development with yellow sand to boot glad to be on some ibstock brown bricks and normal red building sand , great work bud as all ways keep it up boys
buzz rach Thanks pal , they are a change for us as we are usually setting engineering brick in the foundations 🧱👍🏼
@@SteveAndAlexBuild Steve - how come no blues on the foundation courses?
Matt Cartwright we were just matching the house pal 🧱👍🏼
well done lads looking good
mick broadbent . Cheers Mick 🧱👍🏼
Great video. Just curious Never seen anyone in the UK use a brick barrow (brick trolley) you can move a leaf of bricks at a time instead of unloading by hand. Any idea what I mean?
Evan Beard . Yes Even the boys use the on site on the houses once the scaffolding is up🧱👍🏼
another top job👍
Tonto D thanks pal 🧱🧱🧱👍🏽
Nice job boys, just how I like to see my site’s all clean and tidy. I saw that you’d commented on our new project on skill builder (king build) the next episode has a bit of my block laying so don’t look too closely 😂.
jimichip Thanks very much and thanks for checking our channel out . Really enjoying your project and really appreciate your attention to detail 👌🏼. Working on a new build site we don’t get to see that very often . Look forward to the brickwork 😉🧱👍🏽
Cheers, I think the next vid will be my carpenter style slow block work😩. Loving your videos.
jimichip Cheers pal 🧱👍🏼
Fantastic, and very educational, are yous doing videos to the end of this project many thanks 👍
David Harper . Thanks David , yes but only the brickwork then we are done with this job 🧱👍🏽
can you do a sit down video on how you started out in bricklaying? up's and down's of your career? your future plans etc etc? i am always amazed at how much bending you guys have to do. do you get back problems? if so, do you still work? keep up the good work.
alione s . We definitely consider they one pal . We’ve often thought about sound a live stream and that would make a good subject 🧱👍🏽👌🏼
Nice one lads ....only trouble with them little builds i find is you never get a long enough run before having re adjust the lines .top job tho as per 👍🏼
Papà Santi Cheers pal your right it was tight for room inside too 😬👍🏽🧱
Cracking job lads 👌...where you return the inside skin at the doorway is that the regs where you mate or a specific spec?
Morning mate. We return it only below dpc for the concrete. It’s left open above and we fit insulated cavity closers after 🧱👍🏽
Morning Steve, you don’t get any problems with moisture tracking under the door threshold back in to the floor do you or do you leave some dpm proud of DPC to butt against the threshold to prevent cold bridging?
MrStella1976 we have visqueen up and over the brickwork plus a 25 mm strip of insulation around the whole perimeter of the slab for th cold bridging . The door is upvc too 👌🏼🧱👍🏽
hi guys , good job, weldone.
i got a question, why did you use single full block for half of the wall at the front and not for the rest of the wall?
also why not using concrete blocks but for what it seems they are thermal blocks, before dpc level.
thanks in advance.
Hi
No need for a cavity wall across a door way.
Those are trench blocks which are designed to be used only in foundations 🧱👍🏽
Hi, Steve and Alex, cracking video as always, love your videos 👍 keep up the good work.
Where can I buy one of those straight edges? I'm building an outbuilding currently and that would come in so useful, who sells them online? Do you have a link please? Thanks kind regards 👍👍🍺
james swain Evening James , unfortunately I never bought it . I worked on conservatories for over 14 years and it is the reinforcement aluminium from inside the frames , had it for years . Not sure where to buy one from though , sorry 😬🧱👍🏼
@@SteveAndAlexBuild Hi, just found some on eBay, found cheaper option just buying some aluminium box section 👍 great for transferring levels 👍
Really enjoy your videos, wish you could more content more often, really appreciate the effort you go into capturing these for us viewers.
Keep up the good work look forward to the next one 👍👍👍🍺🍺🍺
james swain nice one glad your sorted pal , thanks for the kind comments too 👌🏼🧱👍🏼
Im just starting extension... nice to do know..bit of knowledge
Good luck pal 🧱👍🏽
Your knee,leg’s must be killing you in those conditions,great work,great video
Just found out I have ostio arthritis in both hips so in pain permanently especially in bed 🛌 🥺🧱👍🏽
@@SteveAndAlexBuild years of hard work in all conditions just like me
@@salvatorediprima943 😕😕🧱👍🏽
I like a bit of commentary
Garage2room ESSEX GARAGE CONVERSIONS . We are doing more and more as we get our confidence up 👌🏼🧱👍🏽
nice job...cheers guys
Arcade Dad . Thanks very much 🧱👍🏼
Why do you use the collection of bricks for the meter or so on the inner leaf connecting to the existing back wall instead of the concrete blocks used for the rest of the inner perimeter ?. cheers - i have learned lots on this channel for my own build - keep it up
reedy That was where the lintels didn’t course in with the blockwork so it worked out 2 course of brick and not three ( 1 course block = 3 course of brick ) . Hope that makes sense 🧱👍🏼
@@SteveAndAlexBuild ahh . I guess quicker than cutting down the blocks. Thanks
reedy . Yes by the time you’ve set up the grinder and put in your Ppe and made a mess it’s done in brick 🧱 🧱🧱👍🏽
Building right on the property boundary. Wonder if there is a party wall agreement in place?
Lee Noble . I was very nervous about that 😬 but yes we have the agreement all signed 👌🏼🧱👍🏽
Would love to have that skill set👍
Antony Brown . It is a very rewarding trade🧱👍🏼
Nice build, looking for something similar myself what would be a roundabout cost for this?
Not sure about cost as we have only priced for the ground works and bel in this one 🧱👍🏽
You can get plans drawn up and have it estimated and work priced accordingly
John Smith 🧱👍🏽
That's a very good match on the brick but are they the equivalent of a class B engineering as I noticed you were using them on the inner leaf of the cavity wall below ground level. Nice to see you filling in all the holes in.
David Dore 🧱👍🏼
Time for a beer. 🍺
Derek T . Mmm .... tea total but it would be a nice pear cider if I did drink 😉🧱👍🏼
Hey lads! Can I have some advice im using trench blocks and I got footings 1 meter deep x 600mm wide, how deep do I go with my concrete for the pour ? I would appreciate your help so much as in a pickle 🙏
You need minimum of 150 mm but we generally put more in .
Follow the gauge on the house for you brickwork and brickwork .
I can’t really advise without seeing the job . More concrete equals less work up to damp and less brick / block but concrete is dam expensive now 😬🧱👍🏽
@@SteveAndAlexBuild such a speedy reply for 9:30 on a Sunday morning this is why you guys are the best building channel on TH-cam! Ok I’ll follow the gauge of the brick work down and transfer it to footings, your right that’s my point concrete is £125m3 in Kent, I got in a right pickle as I’ve got 32.11 m of footings to fill at 1 meter deep and I nearly ordered the full depth of 1 meter like a idiot it was £2800 including pump 🤢 it’s a pay as you go project I’m doing out my wages every month and been stuck with footings for past 3 months so now just need to get the concrete poured if
You know what I mean so dogs etc or when drunk friends don’t fall down it 🤣🤣
Hey ste n al Just a quick question, why didn't the customer? Go all the way across. The wideness of the property wud of bin a nice size that lookin at next doors garden looks like there's enough space.
Chris Whitehead . As with most jobs it all boils down to cost . Moving the concrete manhole and drains would have cost a fortune plus all the pipes have loads of concrete encasing then 😬🧱🧱👍🏽
Thats bummer that... this is why my architect Does all the drawings? All the pipework is down the side at the front of the house. If anyone wanted to extend it in the future. They can do. It's all about putting 🛁🚽 in the right place.
Chris Whitehead exactly 👌🏼🧱👍🏽
Alright Ste, its Jon who used to work with you at Hanleys. How are you and Al getting on? Still doing a top job I see. Hope all is good mate
jonathan Clayton . Ah young John good to hear from you pal . We are doing ok , still with Hanleys, it will be 10 years in June ! Akex is doing great and I’m falling apart 😬😂🧱👍🏽
Cracking video 👍👍
King Of the trowel Thanks pal glad you enjoyed it 🧱👍🏼
Love these vidz
Jay Glover That’s great to hear Jay , thanks 🧱👍🏼
Obra showwwwwwww🏘🏘🏘🏘
MÃO NA OBRA MIRO STARSUPER . Thanks friend 🙏👌🏼🧱👍🏼
Best part doing a days graft can’t beat it
John Smith . Very satisfying to look back at what you have achieved 💪🏼🧱👍🏽
Bricklaying With Steve and Alex different ball game in Canada than the Uk done a good number of extensions in Uk they call them additions here!
John Smith 🧱👍🏽
Is that 1 line that continues round both profiles then onto the wood you have attached to house.
L Milne . It certainly be does pal . The beauty of Blake’s profiles 🧱👍🏼
Get a few beers in mate
Karl O'Flaherty . Pepsi for me 😬😂🧱👍🏼
And also I'd love someone to clarify to me about the different methods in uk and Ireland, Ireland what you see is that the builders leave done the outside block or brick 225mm where they run plastic over the inside block down the face of it and after the floor is poured you would then put on the outside course up to damp leval ,,,, uk floor I don't see any plastic running through the outside course the uk seem to bring up outside and inside toghter,
Yeah the DPM only laps onto the inside skin 👌🏼🧱👍🏼
cant see what are you actually transferring the DPC level all round onto,,cheers
newry123 Nothing mate . We measure the line each time we raise it for the next course 🧱👍🏽
Great vid, only mistake was at 9.55 when u failed to stop for the brews.
😉😁🧱👍🏽
Why do you return the block into the brick when your going to pour concrete over it
The concrete doesn’t go over it . The top of block is DPC which is top of concrete 🧱👍🏼
Time for hot soak in a beer.
L Milne Hit soak and brew ☕️😉🧱👍🏼
Like it mate am much the same. 😎 ☕️
L Milne 😋🧱👍🏼
hi if you say 1 meter foundation, is this 1 meter upto DPC.if you say so, how much is thickness mixed concrete . thank you
I think 1 m is up to dpc but not certain . The actual footing concrete was over 300 mm thick 👌🏼💪🏼🧱👍🏽
what do you put where the cavity is at the doorway?
Mark Bruton We run a 25 mm strip of insulation around the perimeter to stop cold bridging then the concrete runs into the doorway 🧱👍🏼
@@SteveAndAlexBuild ah ok, be good if you can show that if you haven't done it already? i've always wondered how the cavity is filled. excellent channel by the way keep it up!
Mark Bruton cheers mark 🧱👍🏽
Guys is it a windpost you have installed at 8:34 on the timeline
No it’s a Blakes building profile. 🧱👍🏽
hey steve whilst i'm still on mi soap box, no thumbs down as yet. have you had a word?
harry godwinson . 😂😂 If there isn’t one by tomorrow I might have to put one on myself just so it looks right 😂😂🧱👍🏼
What mix do you do and how much feb?
bha bha . Best way to answer that mate is go. Bc ack into our channel a couple of weeks and we did a video just about putting a mix in 💪🏼🧱👍🏽
Hoddy will be busy today then lol
Ryan Dobbie . No hoddy just me and Al 💪🏼🧱👍🏽
Gotta love a trowel who does the Labour aswell fair play geez my governor don’t get us scaffolding thinks we can levitate got to do an extension overhand from Monday
Ryan Dobbie . This was only small so we did it overhand too . I was right at home as when I was an apprentice way back in the 80s we built houses overhand right to the top of the pikes . 😳😱👍🏽🧱
iv always wonderd is alex your son?
simon071988 . He is mate 👷🏽♂️👷🏽♂️🧱👍🏽
Did you get a cuppa 😁😁👍
Paul oh yes , plenty ☕️👌🏼🧱🧱
Класс!

The easy part now when you're out of the ground
mark dwyer , Certainly is 👌🏼🧱👍🏼
Using facing bricks under dpc? And I've never seen a brick used as a level before! WTF?
😏🧱👍🏽
tidy
thanxx cheers 🧱👍🏽
Hello
Hello 👋🏾👍🏽🧱
.................
steveg5576 No just standard technique, more to save money and time 🧱👍🏽
Emmm where is the DPC...
Paul Mcgair . In the van mate ready for part 3👌🏼🧱👍🏼
Sorry sir usually see it go on 1brick course above ground level.
Paul Mcgair . No it’s 2 course above ground level normally in the uk . This video just the build up to DPC which is slab level 🧱👍🏼
Considering the work in fitting the lintels to get you over the pipes I am surprised you are putting in a ground bearing floor slab , I was expecting block and beam . You have done a load of work no one will ever see , shame
dennisphoenix1 . Being foundation brickies mon to fri most of our hard work is never seen 🙄👍🏽🧱
