Thanks for this. I've moved into a house with quite a lot of spalled brickwork and will try this instead of getting a brickie in who will most likely say 'naaah mate all gotta come out innit'.
If it spalls you can do this and it will last quite a while, but a genuine new solid brick will always last longer. It’ll just cost A LOT more to have done
Great video. 😊 Thank you for this amazing video! I learned a lot from your clear and detailed instructions on how to repair bricks. You made it look so easy and fun. I appreciate your expertise and generosity in sharing your knowledge with us. You have inspired me to try this project on my own. I subscribed to your channel. Keep up the great work! Greetings from Uruguay. You have a fan here!
THIS IS ARTISTRY …. AND ARTISAN… I love this - I love anything cement work, and anything stone work , but I’m a software white collar guy - this to me is THERAPY
Love way he said Tintin 🤣 we call it tossing when we made right colour into the brickwork repair make out dust of brick or use different coloured dies and touch of ronafix 👍 old stone mason he did make me Tintin 🤣😂👍
Very nice. If it didn't matter about the aesthetics, like the brick was not seen from the ground, could one just render over the spalled damaged brick? And Will this mortar take a fixing?
Hi Iain, thanks for your comment. For longevity it is always preferable to replace the brick with a matching one however this is not always possible. Where a brick is repaired I would expect it to last for a duration of at least 20 years if not longer. Regards. Jimmy
@david barnett I have some red rubber brick corbells in my house that need repairing. Would you be able to suggest a good method for these? Do you use lime or portland for your mortar for your half brick method? Many thanks
@@saintetienne755 then just find the closest ones that match, this is such a waste of time, incredible that they do this. That's not how we do it in canada
@@wp869 Waste of time is debatable. This building is likely worth millions and the owners probably want an outstanding finish, which was evidently achieved here.
Am I the only one who thinks the end result looks terrible? You can see the outlined mortar repair and it’s now lost all its character? 🤷♂️ should have left the ones repaired and just repointed the rest
Didn't know bricks could be repaired this way, this is awesome!
I'm a PCC/Bricklayer apprentice and I thought this was pretty cool. Nice work. Excellent display.
I’d wager it’s not just the bricks that are slightly proud ;) Being massively chuffed with such nice work would be expected. Wonderful display.
🤢 embarrassing brown nosing
@@interabang Sorry to ruin your day, you can go back to drinking vinegar now.
@@disklamer With a comment like yours you have to be american
@@interabang Americans generally aren’t chuffed. Your tendency towards nationalistic judgments has misdirected you.
A perfect demonstration of quality brick restoration. Good work!
I've just come from U-Can brick repair video. Night and day. Great info and demonstration. That's a proper job.
Very impressive and extremely helpful. Thank you.
I need this done! Your work looks AMAZING!

Fantastic work. I have done a fair bit of brick repair work .
Many thanks

Crikey - gives me hope for my house
Superb job 👍
Thanks a lot 😊
Capital. Simply Capital!
Amazing
I do not care what color my brick are because they’re are all crumbling in my basement from years of moisture
Very nice. If it didn't matter about the aesthetics, like the brick was not seen from the ground, could one just render over the spalled damaged brick? And Will this mortar take a fixing?
You could but it will most likely fail due to lack of bond and difference in materials.
What is a fixative?
Mint!
What kind of fixative is used with the pigment?
You can prime the existing brick using a slurry mix of the repair mortar
What is the most cost efficient option (repair or replace)? How long does the mortar repair option last?

FKN AWESOME!
But if you remove the facing of the brick you will reduce its longevity
Good heavens, those must be special buildings. Why not remove and replace bricks? Surely that would be quicker and stronger?
Replace the brick
How can a motar repair have longevity 2 harsh winters that will blow and fall off i have done heritage work and that has never been approved
Can you advise how you repair yours? Thanks
Chop the brick back to at least a half and replace

Nhl usually
@@davidbarnett8002 Thanks.
It's just as fast to take the brick out and replace it
Just replace the brick.
Or just replace the bad brick
