I'm 71 years old and have completed major renovations both in the UK and in France. My dad was a builder and his dad was a builder. They used the line method all those years ago, (except is was feet and inches of course) so it is so good to see such a "young" builder using tried and trusted methods and producing high quality work. Well done "Izzy".
If you've nothing positive to say then keep you derogatory and useless comments to yourself. The world would be a much better place without people with your attitude.
Hi Izzy, when you're cutting or creating any dust, please wear a mask. I thought I was invincible, but now suffering like hell. Recently been diagnosed with copd. My breathing is awful. Take care
I did an octagon shaped deck recovery like this. My neighbor called me and asked if I’d take a look. 6 inches out of level on the piers over 6 foot. Cant believe people have the brass the call themselves tradesmen and charge people for crap like this. I’m a carpenter and can lay brick and block better than this and I can’t lay bricks. Lol. Good for you Izzy. Put a smile back on the clients face.
I know absolutely nothing about bricklaying, but have been screwed over by cowboy work- this guy is refreshing. Awesome to see young blokes with such knowledge, skill and attentive attitude. Cracking stuff
A bricklayer with amazing skills for such a young age. He knows exactly what he's talking about and exactly how to do it. This young man has got a fantastic career ahead of him. I guarantee he is already much in demand. Top tradesman!
My brother is a bricklayer for over 30 years experience and I must say these guys are my favourite there just like my brother was at their age trustworthy and genuine guy’s doing what they do best if you want a job doing do your research and check there work history a lot of my brothers work was always available to his clients to go and view that’s why a bricklayer is a skilled trade not a one off job well done guys keep up the good work 👍👍
More and more coming as big sites slow down, brick bashers who’ve only run down a line for 2 years since picking up a trowel, don’t have a clue how to “build”
Good work Izzy and co. As an Electrician myself i appreciate good tradesmen often we end up redoing work from scratch. I will say here on the South coast we've met a lot of bad builders along the way. nice to see someone who actually cares and does the basics so well.
I'm a retired Spark and I've worked alongside the other trades for over 40 years. Seriously mate, that was some quality work that you did. You turned a mess into a quality job. Well done.
I've been in construction for 30 years and as No.1 completed all manner of projects from huge to small. Nice to once again see proper brickwork done right, as it had mostly gone to 💩. Keep it up as fantastic to see. 👍
I love how precise you are when it comes to taking measurements of everything. It shows the quality and perfection you need to be very good and skilled in your profession. I salute you.. 👍🙏
Great work. I smiled at the 'matching the old imperials'. Our builder built our house, first of two, then the factory broke down when he was just starting the second. Planning required 'the same bricks' so he got the next nearest which was a few mil shallower than the original. The finished building had all sorts of bodges to get round the height change.
The skill and precision that's gone into that is just superb. Just doing these videos gives ordinary folks like me some insight to how it should be done so that we don't end up being ripped off.
I’m not a bricklayer or even a tradesman but I could see that the previous was done by a total cowboy. Great to see though you and your colleague doing precision work to ensure a high quality build. Look forward to seeing future videos to see how you finish this off.
Respect mate taking on a job someone else made a cock up of and sorting it out hope the punter appreciates it!! too many chancers out there passing Themselves off as tradespeople. Keep banging out quality workmanship
Great content Izzy, you're a credit to the trade. Have you ever considered a scaffold system that incorporates a pulley? Lol, it hurts me thinking about you guys climbing that ladder! Anyways, keep on keeping on, quality work.
Grew up surrounded by masons, plumbers, electricians, engineers.. never had to outsource anything in the family or even for friends. Helped out wherever I could but never actually went into the trades. Biggest regret of my life, especially regarding masonry. Turning 32 in 2 days and the older I get the bigger the regret becomes. Awesome seeing stuff like this, brings back soooo many memories. Subbed
I'm a joiner of 26 years, and I take my hard hat off to good brickies. Believe me folks that a good brickie makes my life easier. Putting a roof on/setting wall plates with walls, not level or off square, is an absolute nightmare. We'll done guys! You do tradesmen justice!
Well done , here’s a tip for ya, fill ya frog holes up at end of day, if it pisses down you won’t lay on water filled holes. Mortar will spew everywhere, unless you sponge out every hole. Been bricklaying 50 yrs so have a rough idea. Good luck for the future.
Pride in his work, nice to see. Young man with great skills. Im mid 50s with a fairly crap life now through poor health and admire the younger generation who get a proper career while they are fit and able.
I’m not often left with little to say about all things regarding brickwork but this video has changed that. First look all I could say was “holy shit”. That really was abysmal. By the end I was left saying “ that’s how it should look”. Well done yet again on another high quality example of how to go about doing a proper job. A pleasure to watch as always 💪🏻
Great to see a craftsman who takes pride in the work they do and thanks for sharing. Having had a few rogues in the past it’s great to see someone who takes time to make sure the job is spot on as well as overcoming the uneven footings as well👍
Terrific work. My father was a forman bricklayer, in the days when local councils built houses, and he was a stickler for doing any job properly. He'd certainly give you a job. 👍🏻
You just have to watch this lad , he is a true craftsman , dedicated to his job , any customer having work done by him can rest assured it will be top notch , we just need more like him , person who started this job were never builders , and should be named and shamed to stop them leaving customers with a mess like this , and probably an expensive one at that
@@IzzytheBricky As a tradesman myself , fitting double glazing for the last 43 years , i spend a portion of my time fixing other companies mess , i get great satisfaction doing it , we are what we are , its against our principals , to leave a bad job , thats why , like yourself , your phone will always ring , once you get yourself a good name , even if your slightly more expensive , work always comes , my theory is , if you dont have enough money in the job to do it properly , stay at home , you and the customer will both be losers , top man , keep keep it going
First-time viewer here. Excellent work, I needed you 25 years ago when we were having a nightmare extension build, the footings here at the beginning of the video to very familiar. Thank you
Great job!! I've been working for the last few months as a Working supervisor. Luckily. All our heights are non structural for the external build. First main job doing this. Even though I would love to take on my own jobs. But the anxiety I get is close to crippling me! I get a good amount of my boss with positive feed back and in true terms if some thing goes wrong its ok but at nights! All I seam to hit is the what ifs. During work time its all ok but its the off time that really gets me. Even though I know everything is good. the worry if there is enough material on site to keep the guys working. I know it gets to a point but I really struggle with parts like that even when they know It might end!
@IzzytheBricky I'm struggling with the after effects of a cowboy builder in my home, so great to see a young Tradesman providing honest, quality work. If I could make one comment - when cutting brick, wear a FFP3 mask. I've seen too many workmates suffer from Silicosis.
No idea how this popped up on my timeline, but glad it did. Greet to see quality work and someone so professional about getting the job absolutely spot on. Well done lads.
Do yourself a favour Izzy, either use a wet saw or at very least a respirator when you cut blocks. Silica kills many a tradie. Great work and enjoy watching 👍🏻
Nice to see young folk doing quality work in a professional manner, you’ll go far with a work ethic like this; well done guys.
100% agree!
Wonderfully patronising 😂
Thanks so much mate really appreciate it 🙂
Goggles when cutting pls, I don’t make the rules🎉🎉🎉🎉but your eyes gonna lovit. Mask too, dust= bad😂😂😂😂😂😂
Spot on

Thanks so much mate 😊

BE GONE WOOD BUTCHER
6 inches over 6 foot is actually quite impressive to be fair
Total transformation!
It never ceases to amaze me what some people produce and expect to be paid for, I would die of embarressment if I had done that.
Sadly, as long as there are fools willing to part with their money, criminals will be there to take it.
Same mate
They are not bricklayers they are chancers . They have always been around.
I've barely laid more than 5 bricks in 50 years of my life but reckon I could do better than that effort. 😂
It's down to lack of control over training and qualifications.
There's no controls and nobody to police them in the UK.
Spot on😁 They got the professionals in. What a difference. Nice one lads.
SHALOM 🔥
You say fixing another bricklayers work, let's be honest they were not bricklayers.
Says ‘Bricklayers’ in the title I think he knows 😂😂
I know absolutely nothing about bricklaying, but have been screwed over by cowboy work- this guy is refreshing. Awesome to see young blokes with such knowledge, skill and attentive attitude. Cracking stuff
Thanks so much mate! And very sorry to hear you got screwed over! Appreciate your support and kind words
Izzy, the transformation was amazing! No wonder the client was pleased. Great work guys, again showing the various skills in bricklaying! 👍
Thanks so much Alan
A bricklayer with amazing skills for such a young age. He knows exactly what he's talking about and exactly how to do it. This young man has got a fantastic career ahead of him. I guarantee he is already much in demand. Top tradesman!
Nice to see videos of tradesmen that actually give a damn about doing quality work!! 🏆
@MrManfly cheers brother

Shocking how some people can call themselves tradesmen. Love your channel by the way Izzy! Great content!
There's a lot of them out there unfortunately.
More and more coming as big sites slow down, brick bashers who’ve only run down a line for 2 years since picking up a trowel, don’t have a clue how to “build”
My wife giggled and I said what's funny.She replied "I love your channel "sounds a bit rude....
Thanks so much mate
Haha cheers mate
You are so talented,your presentation is at the highest standard,tv people out there will snap you up for a DIY programme cos you are superb
Good work Izzy and co. As an Electrician myself i appreciate good tradesmen often we end up redoing work from scratch. I will say here on the South coast we've met a lot of bad builders along the way. nice to see someone who actually cares and does the basics so well.
Thanks so much mate! Amazing how people get away with it! But also great for us cos we get alot of work from it and then get more recommendations
God I second this !!! Our area we take numbers and keep all different trades close 😆 hate cowboys
The basics I am an electrician after all 🤣🤣
I'm a retired Spark and I've worked alongside the other trades for over 40 years.

I love how precise you are when it comes to taking measurements of everything. It shows the quality and perfection you need to be very good and skilled in your profession.
I salute you..
👍🙏
Quality work… you did just that. 👍🏻
There is a saying ''Pay cheap, pay twice''. I think that is exactly what happened on that job.
In my experience, it could be "Pay expensive, pay twice anyway"...
Great work. I smiled at the 'matching the old imperials'. Our builder built our house, first of two, then the factory broke down when he was just starting the second. Planning required 'the same bricks' so he got the next nearest which was a few mil shallower than the original. The finished building had all sorts of bodges to get round the height change.
People like you that can sort out this sort of mess are worth a lot. Great work.
Thanks so much for the support mate appreciate it ☺️
good to see a proper tradesman setting bricks without tapping with a trowel on every brick. well done you had an excellent t teacher.
The skill and precision that's gone into that is just superb. Just doing these videos gives ordinary folks like me some insight to how it should be done so that we don't end up being ripped off.
Thanks so much appreciate it 😊
Well done, maintain that professionalism and you’ll be very successful. Love your care,consideration and thoughtfulness.
Thanks very much Josh, glad you enjoyed the video and work!
Quality work. Well impressed. With quality and attitude like that you will never be short of well paid work. 👍
Great to see this chap ! Great tradesmen we need to teach our children trades we need our children to build our country
Thanks so much Alan! Definitely happy to get this job sorted out💪

Very good work team.
This just shows that if you do the foundations right, you'll have a comfortable ride through the rest of the job.
Well done , here’s a tip for ya, fill ya frog holes up at end of day, if it pisses down you won’t lay on water filled holes.
Mortar will spew everywhere, unless you sponge out every hole.
Been bricklaying 50 yrs so have a rough idea.
Good luck for the future.
Awesome work brother. I like how you explain what you are doing for others to understand what you mean.
Yes yes! Nice retrieval there boys! 👍
Nothing beats seeing someone who actually gives a shit about their workmanship. It's a rare thing these days. 👍
My dad would be proud to see your work
Nice work man , great to see young lad taking pride in his great skill.
Well done 👏🏻
Thanks brother
Top work as always your ability to problem solve is why you are so successful and an amazing bricky 😊
The fine art of bricklaying... a genuine trade full of characters
Haha couldn't be more right mate
Pride in his work, nice to see. Young man with great skills. Im mid 50s with a fairly crap life now through poor health and admire the younger generation who get a proper career while they are fit and able.

Just a tip: When you’re cutting block, have your mate fan ya down with an electric leaf blower.
real nice brickwork. you will never be out of work
What a pleasure to watch, absolutely fantastic.
Thanks for the support

Excellent job of correcting what had been "built" 👍
A real bricky professional job well done m8
Pro vs cowboy!! The other person was clearly not a bricky!!!
Great work lads 👏🏻

Always worth a watch when a talented brickie is showing how it should be done ! Beware of the con artists as there are plenty out there.

Like an artist. Very good. ❤
Great job Izzy.
Lovely job !!!!
I had same problem last week from 225 to 170 to 190 to brick and block levels were everywhere over 130 cuts nightmare
I like his style, he is very creative
