I'm not a bricklayer but I find your stuff fascinating to watch. It's not just brick laying it's engineering, done with planning forethought and exprience. Judging by the comments there are a lot of bricklayers watching your video's. I would have thought a brickie would have had enough of looking at bricks by the end of the day and wouldn't be watching it on TH-cam when he gets home. That in itself is a compliment to your craftsmanship. Well done Steve & Alex.
Massive thanks Roger that’s very kind of you to say . 🤜🏽🤛🏽🧱👍🏽
Great work lads plenty of tips on a tricky house build cheers again 👍
Thanks John 🧱👍🏽
Looks really nice, well organised too as I’ve come to expect from you and excellent team work
Thanks very much Julian 🧱👍🏽
Excellent video Steve . You can modify the p&d method to suit your own circumstances . The main savings time wise is in the bedding out all that over done fiddling and furrowing taking bits off throwing them back on is cut out . As you did in the video . Pick up a brick ,perp it if you want to quick scoop of mortar, quick furrow if you want to ,lay it ,cut off your excess use that to perp the next brick and off you go again . 👍
Yep totally agree . Spreading the long bed really does involve a lot of faff and wasted movement 🧱👍🏽
@@SteveAndAlexBuild Yeah , but it keeps you trim and fit . ☺

Good looking work guys. BIG job !!!
Cheers , yeah it’s a pair 🧱👍🏽
Nice work , scaffold looked cramped there 🙈.not always easy to continue on someone’s work , well done Steve and Alex
Cheers Jay . The brickwork wasn’t good and the scaffold was bloody awful. 🙄🧱👍🏽
@@SteveAndAlexBuild 🙈
@@JayKTS 🙄🤣
I miss the days when you had pudlog scaffold . Too many standards in the way with independent scaffold . ☺
@@johnbowkett5920 Definitely! 🙄🧱👍🏽
Good use of time lapse 👍 Great work guys 👌👍

😁🧱👍🏼
Nice work guys
🤔
Cheers Malc 👍🏼🧱
Both of you get work belts for your tools you'll be amazed how more organized you'll be with not looking around all the time for your stuff? (watch Charlie Collisons vid's)
Got them last week pal. 🧱👍🏽
@@SteveAndAlexBuild The Magnetic trowel thingy me jig is the must, holding it on your belt even with muck on it........superb. Keep up the good work I've subscribed.
@@rommelsaint8869 Thanks for the sub pal . We are working on the trowel thing too 👌🏼🧱👍🏽
Top job, and with scaffolding in the way etc. Liked the temporary support on the lintel. Interested in the block choice on the gables. Seemed to be 3.5s on the external gables and 7s on the party wall gable (no brick outer there though) unless I'm confused and got it the wrong way round. Special request: Can we have slo-mo on the pick and dip on the next one. Are you using the small trowel for that? Mortar I guess has to be just right for pick and dip to work, and not sure on a site like this how much control you get on that. Look forward to next one.
Cheers John . I’ve always seen 7 n concretes used on party walls , I suspect it’s to do with sound insulation ?
As for the pick n dip we need to perfect it before we show it in detail 🤣.
And the silo gobbo we get what we are given 🙄🧱👍🏽
@@SteveAndAlexBuild Thanks, that makes sense. Perhaps have to wait on the pick and dip until the mix happens to be right or when you are mixing your own. Your work is so good though I'd happily pay you not to pick and dip for the quality. On the new build will be interested to see if it catches on and if at any point it gets requested/acknowledged ( they will want a cut of the saving though ).
@@johncoppock3823 . We don’t pick n dip the pure way . We still butter the bricks and we’ve only been practicing a bit lately .
Glad you enjoy the channel 🧱👍🏽
Love the intro
Thanks pal 😁🧱👍🏽
Very nice vid maybe a hour special for Christmas?any tips and tricks coming ?:) great vid great to watch since I just qualified what would you recommend I still need experience and speed thanks
Thanks Kyle . Congratulations on qualifying 🥳. Now you start really learning! 🧱👍🏽
are they going to insulate in between block and brick ?
Yes it’s drilled and blown in from inside 🧱👍🏽
Great work Steve and Alex , Good varied video of the whole job , Challenging to say the least but cracked on as always . Why was a lift left out , Hop ups a real pain , hope you got extras for that .
Thanks pal . No extras ever !
Apparently they will save 1.2 million by skipping a lift . Bollocks to the brickies who spend the most tine on it 🤬🤬🤬🧱👍🏽
@@SteveAndAlexBuild And then they got the cheek to moan like f-ck when the quality goes down a bit , As if they're not making enough profit as it is , Pure greed mate , Cant say im surprised though Steve , Shame .
@@doddsy65 . It’s been an eye opener moving from the footings to the supers 🙄🧱👍🏼
see the advantage in the summer using p&d best to learn both. Another box that you could tick
Been at this game 35 years and still learning 👌🏼🧱👍🏼
lovely work guys neat as anything, not impressed with roofing beams they use nowadays
Thanks Stevie ... cheap ! 🧱👍🏽
@@martin2466 😬🙄🧱👍🏽
@@martin2466 your not wrong martin , what happened to 8x2 6x2 joists sarkin tongue groove , just aswell we dont have gales in britain half the houses would blow away ,
@@martin2466 🤣🤪🧱👍🏽
@@martin2466 🤣🤣🧱👍🏽
Great work again lads, facework is spot on 👍how did you find pic and dip? Also, do you not have cuts on your site? or do you trim them to save having to do the cut ups?
Cheers 👍
Thanks pal , no we don’t have cuts done . I didn’t even know they were a thing till I saw them on TH-cam 😳🧱👍🏽
@@SteveAndAlexBuild bit pointless really, so much is covered like with yours you could get away with trimming them
@@brickpug6088 🧱👍🏽
Great video again .are you using a Go Pro quality is great
Thanks , yes we use a GoPro hero 8 black 🎥👌🏼🧱👍🏽
I've been doing pick and dip since the 70s ,learnt it when I worked in Holland ,ive not seen one you tube bricklaying filmstar get it right yet.
😆🧱👍🏼
Charlie collision
I been trying my hand for past 5-6 weeks in certain situations and is handy ...if you have any pointers that be great Andrew 👍🏻🇬🇧 ?
Take it slowly until you perfect it, less muck people put to much down for one brick and then chuck a load back on the board.The Dutch rake all their work and it's pointed later so it dosent have to be flush unlike here where we don't want holes as we need to joint it up ,the bit I cut of the brick I have just layed I just clip on the face perp of the next brick as I pick it up,takes no time, then just enough muck to lay the brick and pull the joint on and enough excess to clip the next brick,no point in slapping a load off bricks down if it takes twice as long to joint up. Personally I don't think our trowels and spot boards are suited to P&D and if I have to I only use a 8inch trowel if I'm on my own work i use tubs and a Dutch trowe if I'm going to P&D.
@@andrewpalij4691 yes it’s an even better method when you do it with trowels and tubs that the Dutch use. This video from Sweden I think shows the apprentice bricklayer clipping on a perp on the face side of the brick and then pushing the brick through the bed to form his full joint.th-cam.com/video/-Ag5d-TLIoE/w-d-xo.html
Ox trowel?!
Me yes Al spear and Jackson tyzak 👌🏼🧱👍🏽
Was the house not set out for brick work?
Yeah , badly . There was a half in the front . We got the plot from the first scaffold lift 🧱👍🏽
What insulation is going in that cavity?
Blown in pal 🧱👍🏽
Like the soldier course with 2 bricks higher up in the middle, what's the black tubes you stand the muck boards on? ,
Nice little feature 👌🏼🧱👍🏽
@@SteveAndAlexBuild what's the black tube you stand you muck boards on?, is it drainage pipe??
@@paulperrin2152 sorry missed that bit . Yes it’s inspection chamber riser tube 🧱👍🏽
What do you think of the pick n dip laying
Not fun but we will get used to it 😬🧱👍🏽
@@SteveAndAlexBuild Whats the point of trying it ... if it ain't bust , don't fix it . ☺
Try and 'pick and dip' with the soldiers ! 😂
@@johnbowkett5920 😬🤣🧱👍🏽
@@johnbowkett5920 . We need to speed up 😬🧱👍🏽
Looks like you have lost the bond over the soldier coarse
The bond is right over the soldiers . It was altered between the window and doors 🧱👍🏼
Don't like this pick and dip, not proper bricklaying, thats just my opinion, I think you waste more muck, and it's messy. stay safe lads.
We still perp the bricks a s furrow the bed a bit so we are slower but it’s a bit tidier 👌🏼👍🏼🧱
