simple but very effective mate! i always put polystyrene between existing and new steps if filling up with concrete just to keep any damp cold transferal to a minimum.
Good job.... some thing to add you can save energy and volume of concrete if u fill it with bricks instead of this much concrete and at last few inches of concrete is sufficient before last brick laying on the top...
Maybe I’m overly critical but I think the older, two brick high metal vents (shown here) are better looking than the contemporary red plastic ones. Beautiful work as always! 👍👍👍
Привет Стью !? МОЛОДЕЦ! Восхищаюсь твоими работами,красиво,чётко и окуратно,так ловко у тебя получается работать с кирпичём,установить его именно так как надо с первого раза,завараживает просто когда смотрю твои ролики,я сам дома делал ремонт надо было немного сделать кладку проём уменьшить,пока выставил кирпичь как нада измучился,на видео легко но не так это просто. Скажи пожалуйста какой моделью мастерка ты работаешь?
Hi Stu just wanted say how much I enjoy your videos very inspirational and it shows how focused you are if just a few had this devotion to there work, great stuff will be watching a bit more, keep it up mate.
Great video stu. Really like the smaller videos projects you do like this step. Especially when you use reclaimed or leftover materials. The driveway you did was good too. Keep them coming👍
Nice job Stu 👍 You weren’t bothered about closing the air bricks off, why was that? Also, loving the concentrate plasticiser, so much better than the standard stuff I’d always used before. And the muck seems to stay workable for a lot longer with it too.
While I love these videos, I have 2 concerns. 1. Is it ok to cover 1/2 an air brick. 2. Concerned that if the step is level 5he house is wonky. Look at the air brick holes.
Ref 1: Not really. You are supposed to leave at least 75mm from ground to air brick (assuming wooden suspended floor). That’s typically one brick height. So not good practice really.
Looks awesome! When building against an existing wall, is there any consideration for the existing DPC? Should you use a barrier between old/new or does it not matter? Presume that because half the vents are still uncovered that’s ok too? Cheers 👍👍
Could you show your technique for mortaring the soldier before laying please? I am struggling with that currently. Love your videos. Brilliant! Thank you
beautiful brick work, this is the way should be done, back in states, I see they shovel lots of garbage dirt or rock to fill the void inside bricks. learn something today, the concrete you pull inside the brick, is there a specific cement sand and aggregate ratio ? thanks
@@Stucrompton1 thanks for the name, this weep vent I don't see it installed in the United States, at least not in my area(New York), is it necessary, or it depends on the region ?
@@stevengao8345 We used them to avoid water freezing inside bricks and mortar so they dont crack or blowout, each country has their own way to drain structures
Well done, nice job sir. With regards to the air bricks, I see you have covered them over half of the way up, is this ok to do so and within your experience does the surface water not run back in through the air bricks and into the cavity? I'm asking as I have a similar situation.
Its unlikely that a house of this type has a modern cavity wall construction. The vent is to allow air into the void under the floor. Rainwater should run away from the house if the step has a slight fall on it. In modern houses, the wall cavity is sealed so that air passes through the vent into the underfloor void without entering the wall cavity.
Your last step video was good this one even better. Feel I bit inspired to pick my trowel back up when I watch your videos lol!! 😂 well done by the way
@@rossmale8715 I would never assume. You have to ask why there were two there - as some properties especially extended properties have blocked off airbricks and more placed on the sides to try and compensate. If you are blocking off an air brick to any degree you need to be sure what the ventilation requirements are. This one may be as simple as the bricks are redundant as the floor has been replaced by a concrete screed.
Man you make this look so easy. It fills me with confidence, then I have a go and remember how bloody difficult it is.

Definable having a go at this with the bricks I've just knocked down from my wall. I'll be filling it in with indian stone.
Good job 👏
SUPER JOB . STU, take care and stay well

Cheers buddy
I love your work Stu, very well done. Your accent is killing too, nice..
Can't believe how much plaz you put in that mix.
Nice step keep it up.
Was thinking the same,I use a third of that and my mixes are fine
Yeah you only need about 15 ml every day is a school day
Stu I spent a summer after three years in the army being a hod carrier. Love watching you work!
What is a hod carrier?
@@thejman8734 the guy that mixes and moves the mortar, stacks the bricks, sets up the scaffolding, and pushes the broom.
Brilliant work stu 👍🏻👍🏻
Muchas felicidades, excelente trabajo muy bien hecho, Un mágico saludo maestro
so simple so good , once again well done Stu .
Great video stu. Really like the smaller videos projects you do like this step. Especially when you use reclaimed or leftover materials. The driveway you did was good too. Keep them coming👍
I agree 100 %
Das hast du sehr schön gemacht. Herzlichen Dank für deine Arbeit! Gruß aus Berlin/Germany

Lovely little project Stu
Also just wanted say love the music.
What mix did you fill the cavity with, looks like you dropped in two different mixes? Great work
I was already missing you, friend!
Looks great Stu 👍
Hi Stu. Only use half that amount of mortar mix in that. That stuffs really strong. Love your videos 👍🏼
It looks fabulous!! Well jel
Me agrada ..muy bien echo.... campeón!!
What will happen to the ventilation bricks ? Will water sip through ? Should you block everything ?
I like the cabro laid on wet concrete. Its durable and hard to vandalize.
Looks nice but what about the air bricks? They are covered and water can run in them.
Parabéns , ficou jóia, Brasil, um abração.
outstanding as always, next time some rocks in the concrete xD
Beautiful job!

Could you show your technique for mortaring the soldier before laying please? I am struggling with that currently. Love your videos. Brilliant! Thank you
Isnt it borin? Looks hella borin this job
Lovely job mate
Congratulations, you are the best!
Lovely job, steps are usually a good way of getting rid of bits of broken slabs/bricks to save on the amount of concrete!

Good Job !

Enjoyed that stu,, Thanks🏴👍
So nice work
All right that stu. Decent job again👍.
Would of looked better if I could of pointed it 👍
Мр Кромптон је врло позитивна личност.Натераће и највећу ленштину да нешто уради!
how have you vented the floor space now the vents are covered
They're not fully covered ?
Excellent mate
If you didn’t want wedged joints how would you go about marking and cutting them for an even joint
“Just like furry liquid” I love northerners haha
Me encantan tus vídeos eres un maestro . Un saludo desde españa
Another great job. Your kind of like me. I work alone to get it done right 👍
The off-centre door position (and therefore the off-centre step) would annoy the shit out of me every time I saw it. ;) Apart from that, nice job. :)
Nice!

I agree. Heavy rainfall and wind in the wrong direction and there's going to be a small pond in the floor void.
What are these wires you used?
Lovely job....is it ok to cover part of the air bricks
no-create possible damp
great video where did you get the materials for the charcoal tray and grill?
Quality as always mate
Quality 👌
Sehr gut
whats the difference between a solider course and a brick on edge course or is it the same thing ?
Soldiers are upright brick on edge is laid down
stu crompton thanks for the reply mate cheers
How do you work out how many bags of sand cement how many bricks Ect you are the man door width
💪 அருமை
Nice work Stu! What would the advantage/disadvantage be of using sand as a fill, them top it with mortar and pavers?
What are them peg thingys used for
Best Bricky boots mate? Food for thought ...👍
Definitely pb 💪
Great job
Your last step video was good this one even better. Feel I bit inspired to pick my trowel back up when I watch your videos lol!! 😂 well done by the way
My brother how are you wery good the work i from tadjikisan
sound that lad, like the step and finish of it ye done well are kid
شكرا لك انته مبدع وفنان
Have really missed your videos
Top job 👌👍👌
you did it well, I assume that the owner wanted it, but it would be better and more practical in this case a simple step from wall to wall;)
Sen mukemmel bi adamsınnn.😊
kimse mükemmel değildir :)
I wished I seen this video before I did my step. It turned out really bad but now I will try again. Nice video Stu. 👍
You going to perfection respect
Nice one
Bravo
That one dark brick should be on the back side..Other than that I love it.
STU what size is your new Marshalltown trowel mate 👍Brilliant work Stu 👍
good morning stu ... as always nice work👍 nice weekend 😁
True Mason gj
Lovely as always stu. Is it OK to cover half the air bricks out of interest?
I assume it must be, otherwise stu wouldn't of built the step that way... As he does his jobs by the book 👌
They shouldn't be covered up ideally,he's only half covered them though and the two close together seems overkill anyway.
