- Hey guys! Second video, sorry i don’t think its much better than the first. Its blind leading the blind over here. 😆 Louis and dad know the most, and me and Jody end up doing all the talking.
We have done a few patios now, this is one of our biggest! I think we have 12 packs of paving slabs for this job.
If you’re here to comment about the cross joints, we know they are illegal in the paving community, and you’ll have to give us some slack... we are bricklayers after all.
But anyway, hope this is informal for someone at some stage.
I’m adding quite abit of chat into our videos, because we cant share our personalities fully on TikTok or Instagram, because the videos are just never long enough. So if we’re talking to much just skip past 😆
Let me know what you think!

I'm a time served brickie but my dad and brother were pointers dating back to the 50s I worked with them for 14yrs so learned to do pointing properly. I've done tons of pointing over the years many jobs 100s of 2m .This way just ironed in is fine for speed but I do lots of patios in weather struck as it looks neater. One thing I would never use is ready made gear so good to see they knocked up their own mix.If the patios a bit wet i'd use a semi dry mix just to prevent smearing but when it's dry I use a wet mix.Pushing the mix down the joint is one thing but the trick is to make the muck stick to the side of the slab which doesn't really happen when you just iron in with a semi wet mix.You wouldn't lay a brick wall with no muck down the perps then back fill them with a dry mix.When pointing the top 15+mm at least should be wet.
I used do this method of jointing way back, but went over to cement slurry and wash boy. The mortar mix for wet pointing is more durable IMO.
100% best way to point not the quickest
But the best looking and strong
Mix too dry.Whole lot will need re-doing in a year or two. Still,at least you got the job finished and got paid.That's the most important thing,innit?
Why do people who film using a mobile phone always hold the thing vertically (in portrait mode)? If you hold it horizontally (in landscape mode) you will fill the full frame of the video!
Cross joints tut tut👍
It’s forbidden in the landscaping world 😂
You can see why, it looks awful
CKGray it is forbidden, but we are brickys trying our best 😂 i did write in the description about the cross joints x 😁
@@rattlekings ahaha that’s all good we all make mistakes, but yeah no cross joints, it’s the same as bricks going on top off each other as you know ( mum on dad) but apart from that looks good ;)
@@rattlekings Your doing a great job👍
What is this see how many innuendos you can fit in………’’ i cant get my hand around it’’………..’’it needs pushing in hard’’ ……..’’whats your favourite tool to use ‘’…….gonna have to listen to it again see if theres any more
Nice job . 👍
Tools, IKEA washing up brush, great for washing out my cement mixer. You should try out Aldi work clother 👍.
We use dry mix like that for pointing walls.
Why not use wet mix?
@@LC-qi5ff to slow, messy and mortar colours are not consistent
What sand did you go for?
General building sand? Kiln dried or sharp?
Forget sand and cement use easy joint takes minutes to point a patio and it lasts longer.
Good job 👍
Ha ha so funny 👍🇬🇧
Glad you preempted the Anti Cross-joint Community!
Birdsbeak pointing look better that pointing looks very diyish
Sand and lime will outlive anything else because it doesn't crack like cement
Four corners meeting .... A terrible job !
Wrong ! Do it the roman way
Sweep it in then point🤪
