Good to see this and learnt a lot from it as a wannabee brickie 🤣 Currently building a wall at side of steps into garden and working down low is bloody tiring. Laying about 15 bricks an hour 🤣... Love you videos budd
It's regulation but no one does it even the big sites don't use engineering bricks on the splash courses. Might as well chuck the regs out window as it seems as tho the sites run there on regs. Fucking annoying. But was gonna say same as you. Use engineering bricks now and they will last longer.

H Budd, the one thing I notice with all brickies is the consistency of their mix. How do you do it ? I have tried proper plasticiser but it makes no difference. Its never as smooth as a brickie mix and doesn't stay like it for long if a I get it moveable like that. (never as good as that but close) Please tell me the secret? ie by the time I've laid a couple of bricks it's already stiffening up ?
@@BuildingwithBudd Haha 😛 man of your calibre should have these for always good treat yourself fella. Measuring tapes and stabila,s need to stop buying them. Have every size right upto 2.4m. 400mm very handy. Don’t use 600mm much although it’s there use 800mm. And a random size of 1500mm on the blockwork.

Concrete footings is minimum 150mm. Gardenwall you could get away with less cause it's not structural. Just depends on how hard ground is and how deep you dig. But it's always better to do good job first time to save any hassle later. .
Hi does anyone know if you can install a threshold stone at the bottom of an external door by butting it on the sides rather than tieing it in to the brickwork of the building?
Bloody hell mate neat job maybe but get that footing up either 225 or 450 and get some blocks down so much quicker and not so much bending ,got to be better for ya back
Profiles mate honestly how do you make a living can not go wrong mark ya gauge on profile away you go you seem such a good bloke just try it less taxing on your body to keep picking that level up

Never in 40 years have I ever used London bricks below dpc, always been engineering, once I even had BC stipulate use engineering brick, instead of London brick which were specify..

Quick question bud ?? How come you use London bricks below dpc we always have to use engineering bricks below damp ? As I said just a question I’m not knocking anything you do your work is awesome if only every bricklayer had the same standards as you 👍👍
David I’ve been using all types of bricks up to damp all my life, but very rarely used engineering bricks, just how I’ve always been taught, if you go on the big sites it’s all trench blocks, if someone pays me to use those I will, but never on my own projects, appreciate you watching 👍👍👍👊

I’ve got to say they are an instant footing, and if someone pays me to use and lay them I do, but I won’t use them on my own house, I did a job a few years ago.

Michael, the brickwork is built, on a footing which is made of concrete which in turn is, 600mm wide by 750mm in depth, you don’t always have to that deep it depends on the soil conditions, hope this helps many thanks for watching 👍👍
We don’t many situations where we use concrete blocks, it’s either footings, sometimes load baring walls, or I have built pig sty’s out of them, but if I have a choice I let someone else do it, don’t need them in my life any more, cheers for watching 👍👍👊
Don’t want to hump concrete blocks around, and if someone pays me I will lay trench blocks, but won’t use them on my own place, I’ve seen what happens to them after a few years in the ground, so I use bricks because it’s nice and comfortable to use, plus it gives big G a chance to lay a few without messing anything up , it’s that simple 👍👍
I’ agree things move forward, I’ve never dug down on to an existing footing and found an LBC disintegrating but I have dug down and found trench block turning to mush, but that’s just my experience, I would never use trench blocks on my own place, but that’s just me , cheers 👍

Engineering bricks in the footings, hope you got that backfilled before the inspector saw those LBC's
Is that regulation now? My 1950s house was built with LCB and the extension it had in 1990 was again done without engineering bricks in the footing….
