I’m a paver and an amateur bricklayer, neat but slow. I absolutely love pointing with a key on flags or brick. It’s therapeutic as fook! Keep up the good work lads.
What I love is you guys prove you dont need Milwaukee or festool to do the job . One thing I love is the connection between you and your dad Stu. You should re-name this channel best brickies because of K.C and yourself .
keep going Ox, I was level 2 qualified when I was 21/22 now 30. regretted not getting stuck into the bricky world! Was just so hard at the time to get into a gang who trusted you. There's always time 🙌
About 6 year's ago I extended a flat roof porch for a friend's mum... toothed the face of the existing brick...dug footings and extended it by a few foot. Bricked around new door and window frame measurement's. I then put a small pitched roof on to stop the damp. Got on my bike and rode home thinking wtf am I doing 🤣🤷♂️ Love the vids' Stu and boss work pal!
Agreed. Key point that when re-pointing homes. Stops the mortar having the ability to just fall out in big lumps after it has set. Seen it happen on a family members home, council repointed bad brickwork and big lumps fell out 2 or 3 weeks later lol.
Loved kc comment on dog back legs all over the place , my mum used to say years ago you look like a right bobby dazzler when dressed up as a child . Good work as usual Stu I really enjoy the videos .
Not sure how popular they are in the UK. But in Canada we often use pointing bags (basically like a bakers icing bag) really speeds up the process and helps keep the bricks cleaner. A full day of it though and your forearms and wrist are gonna hate you
thanks for this brick pointing tutorial, at around 8:00 you said you got some cement, you mean only pure Poland cement or it is mixed with sand , and if it is mixed with sand, what is the sand and cement ratio ? 1:3 ? thanks
He`s not tuckpointing he`s re-pointing as it says in the title. For the last 25 years I`ve used an old plastering trowel as a hawk with no problem and I use a cut down part of an old steel bucket handle to point up cos I prefer it.
It always makes me sad when I see people with leaks into their homes. Theres far too much knowledge amount the construction industry that leaks should be non existent but there always that 5% weak link in a process where someone says "arrr that'll be arightt" then boom damage done in a year or two. Great vid Stu. Liking the slo-mo editing use it a bit more in the future. Thumbs up. Loving the enthusiasm you still have for the channel years on.
That was a technical roof fix there Stu !, are you sure your not a mechanic, have done that a few times a day , looking good on the PPE equipment there , even better at Wickes with the old Trade Pro 10 % discount card , much cheaper that BNQ, and as you say 15 Quid for 2 pound bags of sand !!!, great video boys keep it up and congrats on the Made In Dubai video , better sand there and I bet its cheap , Not , hope the soft drinks included Vimto! !😂😂😎😎😎😎
Love the vids stu. Just wondering do you ever do decorative stonework? It's part of the apprenticeship here in Ireland. We would also do tiling and paving as well as brick. Keep up the good work mate!
Please show me how to change one friggin' brick please, It's chipped on the corner, I found nine bricks buried about the yard and garden, they match the ones from when my house was built in 1927.
Can any one tell me how much i should charge for a repointing job, the area is 25 meter square, ill b doing this job my self, any advice would be much appreciated, cheers
Senior golf Progress You’re right there. Went to look at some work recently, guy said he’d had Everest to price it. They wanted 25k. I’d have felt guilty taking half🤷♂️

Didn't see the external window getting done after you broke off the top rotting edges where the seal down the window sides were picking up where the possible run of water trickles down... All we heard and visited was "Good job done", after it was all over. So there wasn't any point in filming that part of the job... Too much how to with hidden misses.

Hopefully you get an apprenticeship 👍 what part of the country are you in incase anyone reads this and might be looking for one?
Shropshire. Been labouring for 1 year now #nodaysoff lol
Go for it man I’m doing my apprenticeship right now still labouring it can be tough but getting called to collage in a few months follow your dreams
Good to see you both back 👍
Haha sorted that noise in the van no problem!! 😂
Love watching you two, such great video content. Glad you had a fantastic break and congratulations on the viral video 👍
So funny 😂 never knew brickwork could be soo interesting, great music and good knowledge
The sun was shining down on two great guys. Love these vids you doing at mo!
Tidy job stu 👍🏻 nice 2 c someone who takes pride in their work 👌🏻
You really rock your trade pal. Always a fantastic watch and i take inspiration from your channel editing style. thanks for sharing

Spot on as usual. So true about builders merchants too, if the product price isn’t on the internet they aren’t getting my business!
Howdens are right wankers for that.
Ready for the Corona virus with the PPE Stu, rocking!
yeah paul lol
Thank you , Stu and KC .
Top class conversations in the van with good ol KC
You ever try a Grout bag (cake bag) when pointing Stu? That's what we do. Don't know if its much faster then you but it sure is easier
1.20 I'm so glad I'm not the only interior rattle freak 😂
like the little grinder
Good job on the wall 👍 Pat
I do this type of work great to see
Like a dog's back leg 😂😂 I'm using that one at work 👍👍
Nice job you two. As usual top quality, hope you had a good holiday,
Another fantastic video stu.well done to u and KC 😁😁😁😁😁
Cheers matey
Ur welcome mate.any time😁
what mortar mix are you using here? Thanks
That bang on the roof to stop the rattle😂😂😂
Lol though someone would spot that
very nice as always, nice to see the joints are cleared out of all the dust, should last 20-30 years that

You deserve a lot more subscribers
Cheers
Todo muy bien hecho. 😉
How do you know how far to saw into the mortar?
Great video man!
I like the OX jointers. I just wish they made on that's not so wide/broad.
Finally got an MOT on the van....✔👍
Hi looking to repoint my small garden wall what disc did u use thanks and were to purchase from with out getting RIPPED OFFFF
Hi Barry if you go on eBay you will find that type they’re around £12 and they are very good👍
@@seniorgolfprogress83 what do I search for mortar disc ??
Hi Barry just put in mortar raking diamond blade and all the results will come up thanks KC
Has that mortar been dyed? Looks smart that!
Well done 👍! Where’s the robot dance 💃
Nice little grinder for KCs tool bag
thanks for this brick pointing tutorial, at around 8:00 you said you got some cement, you mean only pure Poland cement or it is mixed with sand , and if it is mixed with sand, what is the sand and cement ratio ? 1:3 ? thanks
Great job mate that. Looks killer but weren't you supposed 2 most it with a bit of water b4 u point to not get stress cracks?
How deep do you rake the joints out?
As deep as the joint is wide, if that makes sense. Some others say an inch.
Proper jointer... none of that hose pipe rubbish! 💪🏻
Kc like a minion With them glasses on lol😂
Always LIKE BEFORE watching as STU makes great videos супер работа
Thanks buddy
*No hawk? (plate) and not even a Tuckpointing tool? only with the striker* ?
Different countries different skill . if you are good you can do tuckpointing with any tools.
He`s not tuckpointing he`s re-pointing as it says in the title. For the last 25 years I`ve used an old plastering trowel as a hawk with no problem and I use a cut down part of an old steel bucket handle to point up cos I prefer it.

Perps first
Yes and most the beds and perps with water so no stress cracks
Kc 😂 comment of the day , “its all over the place , it’s like a dogs back leg that “ 😂. Great work tho chaps, keep the good work up 👍
Coffee first!
Should probably have cavity trays and weep holes where that roofs joins that gable.
Hey Stu, love your videos! Can I ask what disc you’re using in the angle grinder? Looks like a fairly thick disc?
Mortar raking disc
Stu when I am in England, I will definitely call on you to greet you and shake hands with you))) you guys are great and are doing a useful thing !!
thanks buddy all the best

best mix for re-point?
A stiff mix, I use 4 to 1.
Omg Stu was you not taught to do your perps first ???
I always do bed joints first
stu crompton haha me too but used to get told off from my lecturer haha 😂
What area are you in?
Please show me how to change one friggin' brick please, It's chipped on the corner, I found nine bricks buried about the yard and garden, they match the ones from when my house was built in 1927.

I prefer a mortar gun is a good solution, especially for patios but does requires practice and patience. Good job mate.
pain in the arse to re fill also you go over joint twice, once to fill it then twice to finish it, you end up taking twice as long

Why not hoover the joints rather than those it down,as you still got to still got clear up the mess
dont have a hoover

Haha we didn’t film dinner time as we had it with the customer 👍

brill m8 but your music is way too loud cant hear you talking as I have to turn volume up n down
Yeah I got this one wrong Mick apologies I make lots of mistakes
Can you have music lower please. I either don't hear you or get blown away by music.
