Thanks for watching! - บันเทิง
Ur apprentice brick laying video was on my recommended, now I’ve binged watched 4 videos and subscribed. Never had an interest in brick laying before this
I am a Building Scientist and was trying to figure out why this happened in the first place. The best that I can see: min 4:09. The window sill needs a Damp Proof Course (DPC) below it to prevent water leakage, this sill has no DPC and this will most likely happen again. Unfortunately this sill has some sort of crack that allows rain water to penetrate from the top. I give it 3 to 5 years and this problem will be back. At min 4:09, I can literally see the spot where the water penetrated the sill and stated to leak down the brick work in perfect line to the water damage.
.
AT min 4:01 you guys discovered silicone on the brick. It's not normal to place silicone on bricks. Given that silicone is normally used to seal against water, this is a sign that someone has tried to do something about the water leak in the past.
.
Please I mean this as no insult to you guys - you did a great job of removing the bricks, putting the back neatly and in a straight line and filling the mortar. Thought I'd share my thoughts.
I looked up DPC and I can describe it as “liner acts as a gutter that diverts water out to weep holes”. That liner has to be directly below the wood sill and angled outward or does it have to be on top of the window?
Hello
I need your advise. Can you please let me know your email id ?
Thanks
Hi Mark,
I am in a similar situation. So need some suggestions... How can i get in touch with you ?
Another top job there Stu.
My neighbours recently had a similar repair done and the contractors made such a mess! Completely covered the back of our house with dust from the grinder and covered next door's path with cement!
Really nice to see a proper builder like yourself taking care of other people's property.
Job's a good 'un lad. 👍🏼
After watching a couple of your videos I did a patch job on my house. Thanks for sharing your talents, there is an art to bricklaying for sure.
Why can’t there be more people like these guys! Respectful and kind that’s what makes people stay and learn 💯 keeep it up guys new sub
jung a solid worker and content machine
First time on your channel. Surprisingly soothing and satisfying watching expert masons at work.
need more of this stu you and your dad. we all love it pal
Top of the range there Stu , nice seeing KC respecting the neighbours property
Some attention to detail fella's cleaning neighbours windows/cill, nice work.
Got to do it Martin, you can do the most amazing job in the world but people will always remember the negative however trivial, human nature I guess. I learnt one thing early in the building trade, do it nice or do it twice, never a truer word spoken.
Stu, I know you probably won’t remember but I was dead serious about wanting to buy 6 of your beautiful cap sets, I don’t need them imminently but it would be nice to know if you would be interested in supplying them as I don’t know anyone with the skill around my way in Kent unfortunately. I promise I won’t make you drive down and do all the work, unless you fancy a day by the sea lol.
Keep up the good work mate, I hope your extra curricular stuff is going well 👍
Love KC. He really wants to do a great job! Wish everyone had his care and attention!
cheers chris i can try to make som this year, see what happens
@@Stucrompton1 Thanks Stu, I’d really appreciate it, ideally I’d need probably 6 sets to go either sides of gate, drive etc, as I said buddy there’s no rush and I can sort you out through PayPal nearer the time, I don’t expect you to make them up without seeing at least half the paperwork first bud so whenever is great mate, just to know you would be prepared to make them is a massive bonus and I can’t thank you enough Stu. Enjoy the rest of your week mate 👍
Hey Stu nicely done, loved that KC did the neighbours windows I’ve done that so many times happy people happy job all the best Tony 👍
loves to clean kc, cheers mate
BB & Build with A&E are by far the best thing on TH-cam. Proper skilled tradesmen that are pleasure to watch and always do impeccable work, real assets to their professions 👌
Makes a change from looking at the remains of a cowboy job. Excellent finish especially the extra detail of insulation that many would ignore. As for cleaning the neighbours windows full brownie points for that one. The neighbour must have been providing a brew
Thats a great job...and the fact that you took time to clean the neighbours window is a credit to the pro workers you are. Good job guys.
Amazing job as always sir stu and great to see KC too. Wishing you guys all the best!
A little respect goes a long way. Good stuff Stu & Crew 👍🏼
It is always nice to see real craftsmanship.
And two others who do not actually do something in particular.
I love wee jobs like that.....job satisfaction when you drive past a couple of months later and can't even spot the repair!
indeed jim cheers
Your attention to the tidiness of the end job is impressive.. sign of a good tradesmen.. hats off to you!!.. being a brickie myself, taught the old way, i totally appreciate your efforts, take care guys
Cheers phill
@@Stucrompton1 hello where your base ? I wonder do do small job like 60 bricks replacement in Radcliffe , Bury , Manchester ?
I second that
Good old KC 👍🏻 back to the old school Stu repairs like so many videos before
Amazing videos man, you’ve got me dreaming of bricks! Going getting myself an apprenticeship in bricklaying soon and you’ve been tons of help, keep safe lads👌🏻
Is there too old an age to start bricklaying would you think? I'm 33.
@@Kloppsserialbottlers I wouldn't worry mate. You will never look back. Just need loads of bricks played you'll get there.
All the amigos today including big boss. That’s a difficult one to make look good. But as always. Great job!!!
That's a display of professionalism and craftsmanship. Great job.
New to channel. Excellent job. Lotta houses in my neighborhood could use this repair. Too bad you are an ocean away; you could get a lot of work over here in New York. Thanks again.
I've just built a pier for a mate after not touching my trowel for 13 years... God my legs, back, knees😂😂 I watched your videos thinking I'd forget the basics turns out was like I'd never been away from it a few more little jobs to do can't wait.. Wouldn't go back to house bashing again but a great feeling picking that Marshall Town up.... Cheers stu definitely give me my confidence bk watching your videos cheers marra all the best 👍🍺
well done mate
Great team... grand master, black belt and grasshopper. Job well done.
The problem was that window sill at 1:56 where water on top of it will run towards the outer edge, drop on the front face and due to surface tension it will turn back below the sill , travels inwards and drop along the brick work. Round edges in kettles and mugs and glasses and lemonade/ beer bottles tend to do that when you pour slowly. It is all surface tension effect, The solution is to cut a slot retracted under the front edge of the window sill. Thus any water wrapping back into the brick will find the slot and it will drop to the ground without touching the brick. I have done this and saved myself a lot of trouble,
The shown brick work is fine, but I do believe that once the brick is moved, and replaced, the repair tends to be rather a cosmetic repair. When I repair such situations I back the brick with flat strips of hard material even cardboard, tie the flat strip with a string and holding the backing plate/ strip I can force the mortar in to pressurised the gap between the brick then when everything dries up I cut the string and no one is the wiser, but it makes a stronger binding adhesion contact between the bricks. Also it is better to damp, wet the bricks a little so that the mortar will not shrink at the contact area through fast water absorption, One does not become rich with my method of repair, s it is time consuming. I am not a building contractor, only a family man who preferred to have time on my hands rather than making money! but then time is money and we manage,
bloody love watching your videos mate! great attention to detail
Kc is still there on the job melting the glass on them windows 🔥🔫
Very good work Stu, keep up the great work! 😀💪👍👷♂️
Kc, the man just makes me smile 😂
Great work but you also want the insulation off the back of the brickwork. That insulation is going to be getting pretty moist over time
Inspiring stuff as always fellas - for everybody, not just builders 👍
Nice to see the team together again. Leave the place better than when you arrived !
nice one craig
Proper artisans taking pride in there work, another quality video
Great video production and great to see a bricky using gloves
Love watching your videos to gain knowledge as I have fair bit to do around my house .are all 3 of you bricklayers
Nice job. Nice team. This is what work should look like. 👍
Quite a substantial crack in that house Stu. Your subscriptions are on steady pace to 200k very soon 👍
cheers mate
I have a similar problem that needs to be addressed, and I'd love to hire pros like you gentlemen; unfortunately, the house is just south of Chicago, so travel could be a problem. Good video, beautiful results!
I think that the crack including through bricks (as well as in the mortar) suggests that there is a structural problem in the building. If that is the case, replacing a small number of bricks is merely cosmetic and doesn’t solve the underlying problem.
Idk about that. Had if happen to a fireplace, not much weight on the area. Here it started under a window, again not going to be much stress on that area.
Interesting video. Well done. I alway enjoy watching other people doing something I don’t know how to do. And would like to learn to do. Thumbs up 👍🏻 from America.
Bloody good match that! Top work as ever
You guys are men of class, all the best for you ☀️ You’ve made a subscriber of me.
Cheers , Stu , and crew .
An excellent video stu well done to u and jang and KC well done and keep up the good work and jobs a good un 💯💯💯💯💯💯
A crack in the bricks like that makes the house very difficult to sell.
It is the first thing that catches the eye.
Excellent work lads.👌👌👌👌
thank you for these uploads
Amazing result!
Proper lads doing a proper job 👍
Good work man keep it up.
Proper job and cleanup respect
Great job. Very few tradesmen able or willing to do repair work these days.
Oddly very satisfying to watch.
Nice job guys, make a fiddly little job look easy there. Was the existing insulation the polystyrene bead type? Gets everywhere that stuff!
having someone as clean as KC on a job would be awesome
Great job guys - I like the way you work and finish up afterwards. It’s a pity you aren’t in Belfast Cuz I’d have some work for you.
Nice clean job.KC the window cleaner.Now that is attention to detail.LOL
Very satisfying watch if it was my house i would be well pleased this job had been done ,
thanks for the video, i think you cut the part for removing the old brick's mortar on the wall, which it cost me the most of time when i am replacing at broken brick, it is hard.
Dear Stu, a question (as a general contractor in Amsterdam, not specialised in your field of work):
Why wouldn't it be sufficient and enough to only cut/chissel out the old morter of the bricks and fill it up again? Perhaps you can share.
It looks really nice and a fine job done.
Thanks, sincerely yours,
Ernst Klijzing

Because many of the bricks were cracked
Ah Clear! Thank you👍for the response and taken time. Cheers
Amazing!! well done job!
Love you guys show I would like to know how to tuckpoint a wing wall on a brick front porch? Jermaine Dorsey from Chicago IL.
Your dad is a trim hoarder just like me 😂
Mate, don't. My dad will hold onto everything in case we need it. When we need it, can he find it? Of course not. :D
@@Maghanashi 😂 👍🏼
Great video, lovely work.
Love watching you guys
You should place a piece of rebar in the mortar, perpendicular to the crack, a foot into both sides that are sound. On multiple levels. That way, the crack wont go up again. And everything is structurally sound again.
Greetings,
Jeff
This appears to be veneer brick rather than structural. All rebar would do is move to crack to a different location.
Don't think so, you haven't got a clue what your talking about , I'm an Engineer ,, by using heli bars which are chemically resined in place they will move with the structure whilst holding the bed joints
Much prefer these types of video stu.can’t learn from you speed laying.
Seems like a satisfying job.
Seems like a Lego game. Nice job mate!!!
Great video Stu 👏
Great vid as usual, mate
Good video and brick repair.Will see if that will work in Texas.
be great to see you guys and your approach to replacing a concrete lintel on a house. My own garage lintel and one above the front door have both cracked badly with old age and need replaced and it would be good to see how you guys go about replacing one. There's nothing on youtube except one 2 part video and its not great.
Ill follow that up, I saw a house across the road (all the houses are the same on the street) and the guy was up on a platform with an sds on chisel mode just chiselling the life out of the old cracked lintel to remove it and it just seemed a bit rash but maybe thats the only method for doing it? Anyway, The lintel above my front door needs replaced but unfortunately its above a sliding pvc exterior door into a porch and you can see its already bursting the sealant away from the pvc. I'm half tempted to have a crack at it myself with the sds but I have images of the brickwork collapsing without acro's!
Love your work
What ratio and type of gear do you use to get the mortar that nice colour?
That trowel 😍 I’m so tempted to get one.
Get one
Amazing work
Great job bud!
Thanks for the video. Hope you are all doing well
i am mate cheers
Nice bit of stitching!

Job lads
Very nice repair!
Great job Done.
Nice looking work.
hey stu, nice vid just like all your vids. greets from a bricklayer and a fan from holland
Cheers buddy
Great repair, although I hope that they have dealt with the cause as it's likely the lintel over the bay window.
Nice job lads 👍🏼 Dublin Pat
Thank you for the videos, very informative subscribed to channel
Quel est la marque du mortier que vous utilisez pour maçonner vos briques? Sinon, super boulot un vrai travail d'artiste j'adore vôtre chaîne, bonjour de France!
Hi Stu, saw you with that Milwaukee cut off for the first time a while back and was wondering how you rate it over a sthil 2 stroke. My Sthil has give up the ghost so in the market for a newbie. Thank you. Another great job !
Follow the mate
Good job lads!
A friendly note. That particular type of loose white foam insulation I noticed in the cavity was used around 40 years ago & it gradually breaks down over many years, it is known to release a toxic urea-formaldehyde gas. This insulation could have health implications as the gas is said in some quarters as being carcinogenic. It turns to powder once you to have touched it. 1st clue, you can also see the bored holes to the r/h side of the repair where it has been injected.
Looks like regular glasswool insulation to me.
@@isakalns8735 I referred to the existing white powdery insulation in the cavity.
Stu you was in my class at college, big Chris with the dark hair used to sit on the opposite side of class from you in Terrys second year lol nice to see you doing well for yourself, all the best
Nice one Chris. What you still bricklaying ?
@@Stucrompton1 Yeah mate, do u remember me? used to sit at the back with dave and fisher and tony Boardman, still keep in contact with em from time to time, long time ago though...getting old lol Terrys lessons were boring just writing down what he said...still remember though, and ginger Barry in the workshop
Gotta love KC
Stu what headphones do you use when blocking noise out from the steel saw?
Steel brush on brick ? Make it steeled shiny. Why aren’t you putting mud on the ends thinly to create a good solid head joint ?
Saludos desde Argentina 👏👏👏
Nice camera work from Jang.
