Thanks for watching!
Stu you prob wont get time to read this but I think you're awesome and I really hope you are successful with your training centre. My son is 2 yrs old and he says, "I'm a builder" all the time as he looks over my shoulder as I religiously watch your videos. Who knows eh, you might be teaching my son some day (as long as I can afford it! I'm only a decorator you know 😂😂) He is bloody good with his mega blocks!
Ah love this comment rob don’t worry mate all I’m doing with pricing is getting advice from experienced people and I will go with that. I’ve made mistakes pricing things before. This is training, I will get more out of producing great brickys than taking their money.
@@Stucrompton1 well here's to hoping he makes it to you some day! 👍
Bricklaying academy now open Rob visit www.bestbricky.com for courses 👍💪

Finally I’ve seen a proper builder doing it right like we do down south and cutting the cavity out to continue it into the extension. Another guy from up your end I call tattoos man don’t bother. I’ve asked him why and how does he stop the damp from tracking across to the inside wall and he don’t reply. Far play stu you know what your doing. If we didn’t cut the cavity out down here in south in Newbury Berkshire building control would have it down and start again. 👌
Every time I watch a video like this I realize just how much I don’t know in life. There is just so much knowledge out there people have. Very interesting to see, now I’m starting to understand why houses can cost so much.
Hot weather...soak bricks with water before laying...and keep muck in large plastic tubs stops it drying out...liked the video.
In the summertime, bricks were hosed down before laying. Coring holes were left out on the Tray-Damp to allow the clearing of the cavity until the wall was one lift high, 5ft thereafter cavity battens were used which climbed with the wall until the next row of ties was reached when it was moved up and placed on the ties. This does not apply today as cavities have insulation installed and the mortar does not fall to the bottom of the cavity. Good videos and nice brickwork!
Looks fantastic mate, nice to see a brickie with so much attention to detail and pride in their work.
Forterra bricks are the business!!!
I just love watching your videoes, so satisfying 😄
Im not even a brikky and I love watching your videos. Hope you know how much people enjoy them! Keep it up mate
Yes I do mate and that’s why I keep making them 😁. Thanks mate
some seriously elegant style whilst laying that cement and brick laying
Really enjoying the videos lads, I did my college years ago and worked on site for a couple of years with a large gang, the top man though was employing keen young lads and paying them pittance, had a girlfriend at the time and needed money so walked away to go work on telehandler. I'm just getting back into private work now on the trowel for myself and am finding these videos very useful as I'm rusty with being off the trowel, keep them coming 👍
Mester of the brick respect from morocco i dont anderstand englich but nice to see your videos and your professionel job
There’s not many tradesmen who’d show you there days work,this guy has nowt to hide.
I’ll bet every tradesman,wether it be a bricklayer,carpenter,electrician,plumber or whatever,will tell you that there a real tradesman. It’s all about the job they finish what they started. It shows when someone takes pride in the work they do,no matter what job they do. I’d have confidence in hiring this guy,takes pride in his craft,is respectful to his customers and knows what he’s doing.As for the people who’ve thumbed this video down,I’ll get back to you (maybe).
I liked all the extra little bits of information you thought to add in this video. Things like if you were going to joint it out or rake it out; what the style of the brick used was and other such bits of information. I find that kind of thing fascinating.
I love watching brickies! 🤠
Stew watching your video and your the only one I’ve seen on here that does it correct and cut out the cavity. I looked at construction with Kieran and asked him why he doesn’t cut cavities put a tray over a RSJ on a single story extension and why no tray under copings on a parapit wall. Ten minutes later he disarmed the comments. Your a pleasure to watch a see it done properly 🙏👌👍
Looks spot on that stu, loads better raked out too. Walled similar bricks to those they were like sponges! We dipped them in water before you lay one down, but that was with lime mortar. Cheers 👍
Those bricks look sweet!I like a flushed or rubbed joint on handmade type bricks myself.
What nice builder very good job God bless you wonderful skill
Excellent
This is brilliant - well worth a watch! One of the best building videos I have seen 💪🏻💪🏻
In Australia we are constantly working in 30 - 40 degrees C ( 80 - 100 F) in summer, so we start at 5.30 am and finish about 2.30 pm , also depending on the type of brick we are using we also wet them down plus the mortar is a lot wetter ( which takes some getting used to ) but it means you cant put down a long bed and you have to be quicker.We also have to point up every course with a marshalltown jointer but generally a piece of 20mm electrical pipe is used but you have to have full joints then a stiffish brush.You get a surprisingly good finish, though you wouldn't think so at first.
I will also send you some pictures of a different type of profile which is a lot easier and less time consuming to set up and use.
P.S - please do a twisted brick and a half pier.
keep up the good work mate.
Cheers.
It's actually hotter than that in F, it's 86 deg to 104! Insane! When he said 28 was quite hot I kind of laughed :)
Thanks
Rake out joint compliments those bricks.
Found you on Facebook so glad you make RUclips videos bro we appreciate seeing how the pros do it, not the cowboys
Cheers john mate
Superb tutorial again Stu,good clean Trowel 👌
Love how informative your videos are. 😁
Quality of that camera is amazing!!!
I’ve used a very similar brick to them....Hampton rural blend. A nightmare in the heat! Looking good though and keep up the good work!
Yea Ross very similar and yeah, nightmare lol I will wet them tomorrow 👍
You work very cleanly I like this
Niiiice. Great looking bricks.
Stu your quality of work is awesome keep these videos coming lad
Great videos, thanks for upload
Thank you Stu .
Stu mate you are a top bricky
Raked out in my opinion looks much better and saves time. And we all know, time is money.
This is my new channel. Love this content.
Love your channel. Looking forward to seeing the end product. Best wishes
Cheers Kc 👍
Hi Stu a tip bucket of water and let your bricks swim than the morter will not lose water as fast . nice job 👍 Pat from Belgium
That’s a brilliant tip
I start a new job tomorrow as a lvl 3 apprentice, little bit of laboring and brick laying. Wish me luck from Canada.
well done, good luck
Love the videos I’ve just finished my level 1 brick course and start an apprenticeship soon hopefully watched you videos about a month after starting and haven’t stopped since💜 could you do a video about tips and tricks please would love to know some of your techniques
28 degrees Stu , come down here in southern Spain in August ! nearer 40 degrees laying !
Il come down but only to watch you men work 😂
Not buttering the blocks either side when laying the last block on the line, tut tut , schoolboy error 😂😂
Nice work Stu, looks great, hope to see how the job progresses.
We're having the same problem with the heat up here.. by 2pm we're all knackered.
We don’t know what sun is pal lol 😂
@@Stucrompton1 lol, we've all got cracking tshirt tans .😱
ive got a belter lol
@@Stucrompton1 lol 👍
Thanks for pointing that out @6:28 cause I was always curious. Had a guess that's how it worked but wasn't sure.
nice work matey, loving the videos
Just got home. Il grab a cuppa before I enjoy this mate. No doubt it will be quality. 👍🏾
Nice one A
stu crompton great choice of brick. Looks like reclaimed brick but definitely adds a bit of quality. And those joints look real sharp. Great work guys. You given KC a day off?
Best wishes,
Alamin.
Bucket of water and dunk the bricks as you go or hose the down couple of times in the day so they don't suck the mud dry. Helps me when we lay those dry one in the hot heat of the day
Good looking stuff Stu!
I live in Russia and I like watching your videos. Good luck :)
Great video Stu, KC has got some competition in the brush department there , looking good 💯😘😉💪😎🍌🌽
Great video as always Stu, raked out would be my choice
Awesome job. I'm pretty hands on but I wish I could do that as good as you. Keep up with the videos 👍
Отличная работа 👍
Не совсем подходит для широт отличающихся широтам Лондана...Да и не совсем уверен что нормы Англии диктуют подобную ограждающую конструкцию..как по мне так нарушений масса...Но могу ошибаться. У нас в РФ..так не прокатит...конец стене...и жителям...
@@qwertysqwerty кто знает что у него за смесь такая эластичная (Што масло) Не мажет кирпич.та и удобно
good job my friend
that garden will be the size of a stamp
Good to see an Artisan Bricky doing the job right-I wonder how many short cuts, missed out or not even installed in a new build-wont be anything like this thats for sure!
Stu might be stupid question why do you cut the 100mm cavity in the existing house
So that you can continue the house cavity through to the new extension
Good to see excellent workmanship. Could have used blown in poly bead than wool insulation.
Great video
Amazing talent 👏👏👏✌🏻😷
Definitely raked
Intro music is smooth ! nice dpc work on those wall ss tie ins ATB
Great vid Stu soak the bricks in water
Wetting bricks can cause Different shades in motar
Causes efflorescence alot of the time aswell, I tend to add some hydrated lime to the muck so it goes off alot slower .
@@leemoore107 what sort of gauge would you use pal
@@mickythebricky9634 with a handmade brick that's soft I would use a 6:1:1 sand cement lime .
@@leemoore107 ill give that recipe a try on the next one pal 👍
Great vid seems like a good labour that lad maybe you should take him on full time 👍🏻
He’s doing good wazz
raked out id say especially with these rough bricks
So successful dear
Lindo trabalho , caprichoso e de qualidade
Perfect
Still not too keen on insulation within the cavity, in my day it was always kept clear to let air circulate
Salford "Siesta" lol 😂
Great vids mate 👍
That type of brick are a nightmare especially when its hot! We dip em in a bucket of water as we lay em 😉 what's the idea with the damp behind the wallstarters, Not seen that before??
Continuing the external leaf round having opened up the cavity to the new extension.... absolutely none to my mind.
good job
The technology of unloading bricks from the truck is amazing. Where are the wooden pallets?
Looking at the bricks you are using with a flat and a cupped side, now I'm not certain but I think they are supposed to go cup side down to get a good hold and decrease the overall weight versus the adding more mortar to fill the void and adding more weight, plus the potential to hold more water inside each brick cup side up.
Looks good I’d advise to do more did thes
Great job going on there mate 👍 I prefer the raked out finish personally it makes the brick work look more refined for me. Looks like you've got a good young helper there he's doing a superb job. Where's KC the silicone kid ? 😀
He visits now and again, probably on golf course 👍
@@Stucrompton1 can't blame him 👍
Jointed.
I watched this and a previous video and wondered why:
1. No footer drain is installed
2. No capillary barrier (gravel) below footer or floor
3. No ventilation gap between outer brick and insulation, and probably therefore no wind barrier between insulation and outer brick
4. Why fiberglass and not XPS insulation? It would perform better with cold temperature and high moisture
Is it because they are not needed or are too expensive? I'm guessing the first one, since the inspector okay'd it. I've understood climate in the UK is pretty damp and occasionally cold too. I probably missed something too, since I'm no expert in building. Similar building videos made in Finland are very different though.
Wet them bricks mate. They can take a soaking. Maybe rack the corners rather than doing the whole pull? If it was me I'd do the return and a corner. Reveal and the corner and just pull in. Less boards that way. Especially in the heat.
Exactly Craig Been working today, been pouring buckets over each stack and they still dry after about 2 mins. Such slow progress!
@@Stucrompton1I feel for you there mate. Did a garage out of them bricks a few years ago with lime mortar. Absolute nightmare.
Stu I couldn't help noticing, shouldn't there be a gap between the cavity insulation and the outside/ external wall. When it rains a lot wouldn't damp bridge the internal wall with no gap. 😳
So many dads watching XD
hose the bricks down day before you lay them and it gives you more time to point,
Those type of bricks would of also look really good by using some carpet scraps rubbing your head and bed joints without raking them ! But the raking looks good also . What type of line leads are you using ? You guys use some odd wall ties across the pond Lol . ps why did you use cap blocks on the whole wall instead of standard block ? you do good work sir .
I think raked looks neater in this situation
U r great
Definitely raked out. What sort of rake do you use?
Clearly very talented, but what would really help us novices is if you could provide a bit more some explanation along the way. For example, the purpose of the starter things and how to put in the DPC etc. Thanks
Just waiting for that stu......
You guy's know your stuff!!! do you go to college to learn this stuff or do you learn on the job from other guys, love the vids!!
Parabens
Why did you continue the cavity?
I thought that was strange when all he needs to do was a saw cut and mastic in a piece of damp proof half in and half out , and the damp proof behind the crocodile is another strange move destined to bring damp.
I've used them bricks before on a job. We had to keep soaking them down with water
What’s the tune at the start. Also been watching these videos since I started my time and they’re still great
The night is young (Phoco remix)
Raked out looks nicer
I find pre perping the blocks and bricks strange ? I’m used to perping the blocks in position ? Lovely neat work tho ? 👍
Sir I was curious if brick could ever look good painted? Have you seen that or would you recommend it? Because I have a old house I'm restoring the brick I was going to pressure wash/surface grind everything because there's a lot of algae there and water line from removed addition. I was thinking of painting it first and then putting waterproofing on it. Do you have any recommendations?
Why there is no beam at the corner? It is beast that each corner has a beam. In Malaysia each corner has a concrete beam, so line blocks are difficult to use.
Can't work out the purpose of the vertical dpc behind wall starter especially as you have opened the cavity ,won't the screw fixing puntured it also?
That insulation gonna be damp bcs there is not space for ventilation. Is it not better to put hard sheet of insulation with 1/2 in cavity?
Damn 54 years on the job and nobody told me it was an art form.
