Watching people who are good at their job and care about the quality of what they produce is a beautiful thing - keep up the good work
Thanks very much Edward 🧱👍🏽
Nice video Steve thanks,I just hope that some home owners watch this so that they can begin to appreciate some of the things that us tradesmen have to deal with sometimes. I gotta say I was surprised that you didn't have any greedy boards in the skip lol.
Rumour has it that stu c of TH-cam fame(lol) built that wall as his first job on the tools.
Il never forget an underpinning job that we did in sale on a three storey semi detached that was required as it had spread brick foundation rather than concrete,2m deep and 1.5 in to and away from the building, that was a hell of a graft,felt like a good accomplishment when it was complete though. Gotta love being I. The building trade!
👌🏼🧱👍🏽
Excellent 1st part of the reconstruction of the wall of bricks and blocks, hopefully soon we can see the 2nd part, it is very appreciated that you share your work greetings from san felipe chile

Wow that’s great to hear and thanks for the support 🙏🏽🧱👍🏽
I feel for you on this one lads, I had one the same last week I thought it was going to be a nice little earner for the weekend, didn’t stop till 7:30 Sunday night. One of them “I’m not bothering with private work anymore” 😂🤦🏻♂️👍👍🧱🧱
Ricky Warfield Rhey come along every now and again unfortunately 😩🧱👍🏽
Super job by Alex stacking the skip so well :)
It was frightening how easily you pulled the wall down brick by brick! Then what was under the floor was shock and horror. I thought you'd discover a Roman road or something 😁
Yep we did too 🤣🤣🧱👍🏽
Great video 👍 yous are like bricklaying surgeons
David Harper 😷😁🧱👍🏽
Proper job, proper grafters 👍

Spartrowel . 😂🤣🧱😉
Enjoy that vid pal really good. 👍🏻
Glad you enjoyed it 🧱👍🏽💪🏽
You put me in mind of Time Team in the bottom of that dig. I was also expecting you to drop into an old cellar the deeper you went down. The joys of building and construction eh.
It wouldn’t have surprised me 🙄🧱👍🏽
Can’t beat a good bit of demolition boyos👍🏽
Love it 💪🏼🧱👍🏽
Good work as always. Looks like plenty of work in the UK, but watch out for the Corona. Fortunately, you are bricklayers and are less at risk than a prime minister or a president!!
😊😊

Gé van leeuwen . 😬😁🧱👍🏽
Good old cowboys, good job you pair are on the job! Only watched part of it, I’ll be sure to finish it on my sunbed tomorrow😜🧱
Construction With Kieren . You made it to turkey then 👌🏼nice one 😎🧱👍🏽
Bricklaying With Steve and Alex I’ve been here nearly a week already mate (came last Saturday) here for 2 weeks, heard the bad news yesterday of having to qurantine. Just going to enjoy my last week🌞 I scheduled that video I just uploaded for a week in advance👍🏽 hope your keeping safe mate
Construction With Kieren Make the most of it while you can before you come back to the madness over here . Good here but I am starting to know folk who are getting it which is too close for comfort 😷😎👍🏽🧱
Bricklaying With Steve and Alex that’s the part I’m dreading mate! Keep sanitising when you can, the people over here are good as gold! Completely different to what we’re like at home😩😂👍🏽
Construction With Kieren 🙄😎🧱👍🏽
keep up the good work
Will do cheers Peter 🧱👍🏽
I'm looking forward to seeing how this turns out.
👌🏼👍🏽🧱
That looks like a typical cowboy job I bet you never noticed the white soil pipe next door terminating just above the junction it should have gone up the wall and terminated above the roof to stop sewer gases entering through that window on the property you are working at at can't wait to see part 2 to great job lads
It was a shocker ! Part 2 is the dig and the slab , unfortunately the main part ( the actual build ) all the footage has gone which is gutting because the bloody build was a pain in the arse too ! 😫 🧱👍🏽
Great video , nice to see someone do great work , as a plasterer you would make my work nice and easy with a straight wall , the amount of times I render a wall and it wonky donkey block work
Thanks very much Ben . 🙏🏽🧱👍🏽
Right old mess but you willing get it looking sweet as 😎👍🏻

ESSES CARAS SÃO SENSACIONAIS,,UM FORTE ABRAÇO AMIGOS
Many thanks 🙏🏽👍🏽🧱
The back yard at my mothers terraced house (built 1900) had a brick tank soak away taking roof rain water. It had a 1 inch BSP iron overflow into the kitchen sink drain. Between the soak away and entry there was a 3ft diameter well at least 15 feet deep.
That strange diagonal pipe you found might be doing the same job.
Maybe , this is a very old building and rumoured to have been a pub in the past 🧱👍🏽
Good days graft that lads 👍👍🍺
Sean Cheers Sean 🧱👍🏼
I like your bogof sunglasses lads 😎😎

Hello Steve have you ever considered building your own houses or house. Years ago I realised that every job I did I was making the customer thousands. So I started working for me and everything I did benefited me. I now live in a 1.7m house and I rarely work for others. Just a thought we all solder on to pay the bills. Loving the vids mate👍
You must have read the lazy man's guide to riches then?
Damian Puleston That sounds interesting I will take a look. I was dreaming about progress and success at carpentry college. My dad said get a skill and take it from there. He was so right. My first house I walked out after just 12 months with £45k. My second £190k my third £330k and my 4th £600k. We have amazing money making skills. If I spend £500k at a builders merchants the thing that I build is worth 3 times that. Our skills are so much more powerful than your average uk job we build. Sorry I was bullied at school and that gave me the drive.
Buddy's Insight nice one 🧱👍🏼
Buddy's Insight Sounds great 🧱👍🏼
@@buddysinsight9834 im part way reading and writing my new goals, look it up, its alot more inspiring than I ever thought it would be 👍
You guys do a really nice job some Jobs I’ve worked were in London a the brickwork had to be like wallpaper but you had the time to do this axed arches squint corners one of my sites was police headquarters Pimlico and they would look at the work with a magnifying glass then you go to houses a lift a day ???
🧱🧱👍🏽
WOW! there must have been been some COWBOYS building that. stay safe lads.
Les Gill We pick up all the best jobs 🙄😂🧱👍🏼
You come in to your own on these jobs steve, pricing up smallworks is a lot to do with experience, if they're priced correctly they will make you good money
Mark Anderson . Thanks mark , mmmm this one was a big loss in the end 😫🧱👍🏼
@@SteveAndAlexBuild oh dear, thats what I mean it's not like new build where you get a per 1000 price, I always work it out in days plus materials and take into account possible problems
Mark Anderson Yeah the problems just kept coming right till the end ! Even now I’ve lost all the footage from dpc to the top 😩🧱👍🏽
@@SteveAndAlexBuild oh no, do you sometimes get that feeling that no matter what you do it just isn't going to go your way👍🧱🍻
Mark Anderson Yep on day 1 🙄😬🧱👍🏼
You couldn’t get away with that today Steve with all the regulations
Not a chance , shocking ! 🧱👍🏽
Great job. How thick is the concrete poured
thanks pal I think it was 15 “ deep 🧱👍🏽
The house will be mid 1800s looking at the hand made bricks also there will be no formal foundation but a trench filled with oven clinker.
🧱👍🏽
Looked like some DIY ‘s did some bricklaying there lol , always interesting to see what you’ll find beneath these structures 🙈
Bricklaying Jay Puyenbroeck . We were more like archeologists then builders on this one ! 🧱👍🏼
that mess gives decent DIY,ers a bad name, most of us do good work,
@@georgeh9967 It goes the trade in general a bad name 😬🧱👍🏽
The thing is,through videos like these,it's not hard to learn as a diy'er if you have half a clue,some don't end forge ahead anyway,scary really.I have been watching Steve and Alex for some time now, in order to learn enough to tackle a couple of brick built tree holders,4x4x3 ft high, in my garden which I did last year, but im still watching. I'm an auto sparks by trade,but through watching these guys I felt confident enough to tackle the job myself,ok I'm not going to start knocking up extensions,the pots took me a good couple of days each.But the guy who rendered them for me,(I weren't that confident😄) gave them an 8.5/10, I was chuffed to bits! Until he told me a proper Brickie would have done them in a morning,that I'd overdone the footings by some degree and a proper Brickie,knowing that I'd asked for it to be rendered probably wouldn't have taken time (several gruelling hours)trying to make the mortar courses look so nice,FFS!,at which point I went and made him some tea,😗,The mortar course part was particularly ego shattering because it was just common sense,some things you just can't teach😂.The point is that the difference between shoddy and good is not that far apart in terms of effort and application of what you can learn quite easily,Steve's videos are good old fashioned plain English and clear and concise enough for the purpose of learning.in retrospect,after the initial trepidation,I soon sort of got the hang of it and relaxed a bit,what I took from these videos was not just tips on how to do it but more importantly what not to do.
@@SteveAndAlexBuild As someone who works in the motor trade,not known for its honesty,I agree but I have taken the view that it will always be the case,there are plenty of lousy tradesmen about,Mechanics,plasterers,carpenters,brickies etc. But quality work speaks for its self,and gives YOU the confidence and satisfaction that you will still be doing it next year end not be spending your life dodging phone calls,fretting about something you can do nothing about is annoying but fruitless. Crack on fella.
some people dont realise whats involved with these so called small jobs , what a mess ,hope you have priced right ,nice job guys with founds,
stevie 1 cheers pal 🧱👍🏽
Did well to do all that in a day lads 👍👍
Rowey cheers , it’s was demolished 1 day dig and concrete 1 day 🧱👍🏽
I am a bit pissed off with you for disrespecting my bricklaying. It took me the best part of two hours to throw that up.
🤠😁🤣🧱👍🏽
Those thin floor tiles you was pulling up sometimes contain asbestos For future always worth putting a mask on just in case 👍🏻Great work
Joe Robinson Thanks for the tip joe . Fp 3 s are like rocking horse shit at the moment , either not in stock or I’ve seen disposable ones selling for £7 each ....... yes ..per mask 😷😳🤯🧱👍🏼
Thermoplastic tiles would most likely contain Chrysotile as would the textured coating on the ceiling. PPE always a last resort, encapsulate them with PVA and bag up for testing, putting them in a skip would bring HSE down on you. Always like watching you guys but you need to be careful with strip out work like this.
Scott Elliott Cheers for the heads up Scott 👍🏼🧱
Martin thermoplastic tiles can contain up to 20% asbestos, if broken as in this case they become friable and danger greatly increased. Textured coatings have a largely inconsistent level of containment hence you test multiple areas. If you don’t know you have to assume it is an ACM until tested. Adequate venting is reducing the risk, encapsulating it and using PPE reduce it by much greater levels. My comment wasn’t meant in anything other than good faith to Steve and Alex.
Scott Elliott 😷🧱👍🏽
Bit of a bodged job that previous wall wasn’t it . Can’t wait for part 2
ozzyefc44 Yes mate it’s was a shocker 🧱👍🏼
Quality bodgemanship
Absolutely! 🧱👍🏼
Lots of flat roof extensions got built from garden wall foundations on just straight on top of it
😬🙄🧱👍🏽
Fellas those vinyl floor tiles definitely contain asbestos. Next time at least wet them before removing, dust mask also a good idea.
Thanks for the heads up pal 😷🧱👍🏽
That’s shocking, the owner is lucky to have found you guys as it’s tough finding decent honest trades people (no disrespect meant but I am really struggling to find people like these guys)…
Thanks very much Brian 🧱👍🏽🙏🏽
2:07 - that is shocking work!!!!
It didn’t take much to drop it 😬🧱👍🏽
That's not a foundation, it's a kerb! The place is old enough that old extension was probably just a covered lean-to that got filled in over the years, seen that many times the place I grew up. Starts out as a dry place for a copper and basin, ends up another room over time.
Sideslip . Yeah definitely 🧱👍🏽
Hope the rain stays off lads so it doesn’t flood👍
Adam Redford . It’s all done now pal this was back in August , it lashed it down on us when we slabbed it though 🙄🧱👍🏼
Bricklaying With Steve and Alex I wouldn’t have expected anything else 🤬😂
Adam Redford 🙄😁🧱👍🏽
The old brickwork looks like it might be old enough for it to be possible for it to be lime mortar instead of modern cement mortar.
Very old ! 🧱👍🏽
Tough tough job. Always a hassle correcting somebody else’s mess
Absolutely Richard 🧱😬👍🏽
OMG not even a foundation what shit bricklaying I can’t believe they felt it was ok but thank god these guys have saved the building from collapse

how did you know what was lurking beneath? was it cracking up inside or summat ?
Mitch thetrashman1 The floor was being re done and when they started digging they ended up under the wall 🤔👍🏼🧱
@@SteveAndAlexBuild never a good look mine here has no founds its just on a footing of clay . (1856)2 up 2 down . lving room is compacted earth, sheet of dpc plastic. paving slabs and then a floating chipboard floor . temporary council fix ..... 18 years ago . i bought house since then. im scared to look under it ☺️😱

Where are you based mate? 8Dayz skips just become a local for us in Southport.
This was near ormskirk 🧱👍🏽
They really need to put an age restriction on trade hand tools, but atleast they used some sand ay.
😆😆🧱👍🏼
That looks like one of those walls you hit with something or put a drill to and the reaction and dull thud you get,tells you that it's more luck and gravity than mortar holding it together!,I'm an auto sparks and even I can see that that is a lash up,why don't people stick to stuff they can do,especially something offering so much danger?.
Thanks pal , yeah it was a Ropey I alright 😬🧱👍🏽
who made that doggey wall,a spanish brickie ?
😂🤣🧱👍🏼
wow lads that was tough defo looked like a old shed originally stay safe chaps
mick broadbent Not fun 🙄🧱👍🏽
I’m no expert, my first time laying bricks building something in the garden, and my brickwork is better than that along with my concrete work

llamedos R . Indeed we did and yes it most certainly was , it just got worse 😩🧱👍🏼
Those orange tiles are asbestos
Yep so I’ve been told , had no idea 😷🧱👍🏽
Smashing up asbestos tiles , nice !!!
How are we supposed to know they are asbestos ? I have never even heard of asbestos being used for floor tiles !
@@SteveAndAlexBuild
Experience !,I can tell just by looking at them and the way that they broke, that they are more than likely asbestos, them type of tiles contain up to 25% asbestos
A rule of thumb is that most 9 inch tiles contain it
Be careful !!!
@@craigsmith5374 . Thanks very much for the heads up Craig 🧱👍🏽
Watch your back Steve tugging at that floor whilst bent over. My back was going into spasm just watching you .......Take it from a man who's lost three discs...
Will do mate 😬👍🏽🧱
What was that 😱
Well I bet you two see some pigs ears 😵💫😵💫😵💫
We certainly do on a regular basis 😳🧱👍🏽
who ever built that needs putting down and i am no brickie
It was a shocker ! Thanks for watching and commenting 😬🧱👍🏽
What does that asbestos taste like
Never tried it
Be careful of those floor tiles, some times has it in

Sorry we have worked on that issue since 🧱👍🏽
Blimey, you lads find some sad jobs don’t ya just...probably an old surface water pipe into a combined sewer...always try and leave them alone, that old and they will always fall apart on you if you disturb them...trying to do good quality repairs to them can be a nightmare...keep soldiering on...after this you’ll be glad to get back to some boring housing...lol...
Definately Stu , it was a job from hell 🙄🧱👍🏽
Why are two of you doing demo? It’s only big enough for one . Not one doing and one watching.
It’s plenty big enough for 2 and if I leave Alex at home he will never learn anything 😧🧱👍🏽
And that’s asbestos soffit make the apprentice wear a mask 😷 to late for dad
That was painted artex which wasn’t disturbed , not asbestos 🙄
Why is it the OLD guy is always doing the bulk of the hard work? This younger generation are the laziest people I have ever seen. They are just fine with watching the older workers kill themselves, where people my age were taught to take care of the older workers. I just don't get it.
Alex is my son and he does what I ask him to do . He isn’t lazy and is still learning (22) . I have a faster technique which he needs to learn which he does by watching. All that shite didn’t just walk to the skip, Alex moved all of it . He is looking after the older generation because im his dad . 🧱👍🏽
