Thanks for watching!
I was a union bricklayer for 25 years. It was a good living and I have a nice pension. I enjoy watching these videos. Brings back nice memories of a noble trade.
There is something so gratifying to watch someone take pride in their work and do a great job 👍🏻
Dej fot dat voz maj riel akzent, badt aj het ben lajen laj ajn lajar. Huhuhu 😅🤣🤫 Vied hau piapal fink dej ar nad rili riel.
Stu & KC are differently the best instructive brickie video's to watch on the internet. These video's should be required watching in every trade college in England & Australia. Europe can do what they want after Brexit completes. The only problem I can see for viewers, apprentices.tradies & Tech teachers alike, is that these video's can become very addictive. They are even better than many current reality shows on the TV. Stu & KC, please keep up the good work & thanks for being so natural & real all the time, it's just a joy to watch your vids.
Cheers steve we appreciate that. We just aim to educate and entertain and why not make some money at it as well
As a Plumber I must have done dozens and dozens of these over the years. I have got quite good at it and always leave a nice tidy job. I have too because Brickies seem to hate doing it lol. You make it look quite easy. Nice job Stu
i do lots of these patch ups, its amazing how many plumbers make such a mess of them, usually the wrong bricks and foamed in lol
Getting ready to take on a large brick restoration project back from the 1930's. My experience is with mostly ground level concrete, not structural. You just built up my confidence, thank you. I'll watch more of your video's, hopefully it gives me all I need to make these structures come back to life.
I’ve never laid a brick in my life and I just sat here and watched the whole thing
Bryan Rogers something therapeutic about it
@@blitzsah The success of this Old House.
Same here
Same , oddly satisfying
As a gas engineer I had to learn this myself pretty quickly! Nice to know I've been doin it rite.
Wrong. You need to do right
Dude! I didn't start to replace the bricks in my chimney yet because, prior to your video, I didn't know how to do it. Your video is extremely clear and informative. I have a sneaking suspicion that you just saved me hundreds (if not THOUSANDS) of dollars, so thank you for THAT.
I bought a Bosch mortar removing chisel for my sds, does a quicker job with less dust. Best £25 I've spent
Did the bosch sds last for the job.I wan't to re-point the back of the house.
@@amalalnckamsk6939 it did a decent sized 2 story gable wall.
@@llisntcoolj2375 More than enough then. I'm going to have a go in the spring,thanks bud
Good luck if you're a plumber LOL
It does look great...I did a small repair job for someone yesterday and it wasn't the hardest but also not the easiest...you have great skill...you will always be busy with work like this.
What did you charge? I was given a quote of $250 for a patch job this size. One square foot. It does involve some brick cutting to size up.
I did 6 bricks to fill a hole about 6 months ago, first time ever with bricks. Used same 30 year old bricks that the previous owner had kept. For my first time I was amazed with the result, way better than I thought i could do,
Thank you for taking pride in the job! if it wasn't for the new bricks, it would not look replaced.
If you get an old car innertube, cut it near the valve, seal the ends up, then you can feed a loop of the tube into the cavity through the vent hole, inflate it and it'll trap all of your debris. Then after you've removed all the bricks that are coming out and cleaned up the joints, you can pull the innertube out and all the crap with it.
You should make a video showing this method I'm intrigued to see how well it works.
@@brucel8891 sadly I work in television not the building trade and so I wouldn't be able to go making holes in walls. I did watch my dad do it a couple of times though, and it worked well at keeping the cavity from being bridged. My dad and grandad were both general builders and decorators
I cannot picture what you mean by what you wrote, however it sounds very good!!
Both the brickwork and the video were masterful. Thank you.
I am repairing the back wall of my old 1920s bank building where I now live. The wall, and especially the mortar, has been degraded through water pouring down the outside of the wall for decades. Literally all the mortar washed away over the years between about 16 bricks in 5 courses! Cold air now pours in where the bricks are missing and between the masonry block behind the brick, and whole building is suffering from the prairie winds every time they blow. I just did the first two courses, having removed the worst as well as any bricks not far from falling out. This is my first time at this, but your tutorial prepared me well and, maybe, by the time I get the last course down, it won't look too bad. Thanks for the clear tutorial!
i have just start watching your videos from last week and start learning it..very good for someone to learn .
Being a bricklayer in Australia it’s so weird for me to see how you point your brickwork. We do it just with a joiner no trowel to fill in holes, all the joints are full and u have to work the joiner in the beds and scrape all the excess mud off before bagging/brushing and a repoint. Love your videos 👊🏼
Blown bricks, a year of furlough, and eye-watering quotes brought me here.
I feel this. Deep in my heart.
Yup.
You mean you couldn't afford a skilled tradesmen?
@@zeberde”skilled”to remove a brick😂 people don’t realise how easy a lot of jobs actually are and get absolutely mugged off and end up with a rushed job by so called “skilled tradesmen”
Yeah buddy
Yes i am a plumber,and yes another excellent video ,love the way you work and teach cheers mate.
I'm not as good as you but to get around this I cover bricks (new and existing) in duck tape then pull tape off when done and all pointed up. Nice to watch a pro do it though, you make it look easy.
I'm watching your video so I can learn more for my new job, and you got some good skills, thanks man👍
Why is this so satisfying to watch ?
Neatly done, very professional. Thanks for filming.
The attention to detail with that mortar is awesome
Oh my gawd I’ve never seen a brick layer use PPE! Thank you!! People look at me crazy when I put on a respirator. Sooo glad I’m not the only one. You even put on gloves. Love it!
Looks really good I've been laying brick for 38 years did a good job congratulations
What’s your salary
@@caspercasper5413 just retired
What age did you start, I’m 17 looking to join a union
I was with bricklayers Local 3
I have done this exact process at work before, and it works great for when you want to replace the amount of bricks you want to replace, instead of having it lead to a few extra bricks to replace too.
Classic workmanship. Thank you for posting it. I will do some repairing in my old Federation House. Thank you for showing how to do a proper job. It just reminded my father when he explained the "right way" to work in the building industry. Really great. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and workmanship!
You should avoid so much debris falling in the wall cavity, if those people ever want to have insulation blown into their walls this creates a cold bridge.
You are partially correct. They use expanding foam now so all good.
Not all do. I work for terminix we still use blown insulation.
Bloody plumbers !!! 🤔 Nice job Stu & KC 👍
Bet Stu is just narrating the video and its KC is doing all the work. Top job again boys.
Kc is the boss mate we all know that
About to take this on myself, this video is GREAT, perfect for what I needed to see, thanks!!!
Very nice mate. Your a role model to a lot of blokes. Thanks for ur vids 🎉
Amazing! I'm preparing to move my dryer vent and it's nice to know that I can repair the old hole.
Good Luck if you’re a plumber. Love it mate
You need to protect the cavity from rubble. I use broken slate hammered into the fresh mortar to keep it all tight to prevent any slumping whilst mortar cures
Thanks for the video. Made my life easy after removing an outside socket and 3 broken bricks.
I completely messed up my brick repair now I'm going to try and replace them. Good luck to me.
Great video, I have a brick patching at work to do next week, thanks for the tips!!!!
Ur work is so hypnotic to watch
Good show. 2:56 isn't there just always that one brick that refuses to break, and splits in every direction but the way you need it to. Your mortar looks a tad wet, it shouldn't really flow but stay where you put it, makes the work easier too.
When I first saw the bricks you chose as replacements I thought "that's the best match!?". Shows I don't know what I'm talking about. Looks pretty good. Not perfect because it's super hard to match molded brick with extruded but it looks great. well done.
Very clear and informative video. Experience makes it all seem easy, but I expect us amateurs to struggle a bit. I will see what I can do with crumbling bricks in chimney but should make not falling a priority. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with others.
Thanks for the tuition i now forward to little brickwork job 👍
Excellent tutorial! I was just thinking, "I wonder how he's getting the mud of the trowel with that joint tool?" and, then you you showed us. Thanks!
Absolutely superb! You are a gifted teacher. Best wishes!
Had to patch many holes where the flue was moved, this video is very good and shows you the proper way, took me years to get it spot on. Being a gas engineer, I found that brick match and colouring the mortar is key👍🏻 looks a pig if you don’t pay it the same attention as your boiler install👍🏻
Too much cement it looks awful,matching bricks on houses built by defunct companies sucks.
You made that look so easy.... I'm tempted to try it myself 😅
People don’t realise the amount of stuff you need to fill a hole
Nice job
The mix? Nice video.
There was about 30 minutes of cutting and pointing that should have been done to the surrounding brick work. Kind of amazed that it was left as is.
Do you not use an Arbortech? The machine just eats the mortar bed and head joints really clean. Always love your work...much respect from Baltimore
Have got £2k spare
Me to he was great with àll the hand techniques using the towel wells explained many valuable points for a neat brick face.
I love the way when real British working, we missed the real Kings, thanks for the video.
Loved the simplicity of just doing it.
Thanks for this video. I like your high quality joint technique.
Just what I needed to see to close the open area around an air went.
THANKS!
This is helpful for a small fix I need to do.👍
Great vid. Buying a new build and they've managed to chip a load of bricks on the corner from top to bottom. Might send them this to keep um busy!
We would use wood dowels for jointer for repair and steel on new. Don't know if you have heard of that before. By your skill you have done it all. You and your laborer are pros,his mortar mix looked perfect. I miss that sound of steel on brick and cement. I was shotcreter for years,my favorite job was at Detroit zoo making rocks and caves for animal habitats like polar bear exhibition. Hard work,but lots of fun.👍
Thanks for sharing, nice job. Other than being careful is there anything you can do to stop cement falling backwards into the cavity (especially when you push in a brick)?
Love the video! You just showed me how to make fixes on my future home
Jose I am in the same boat. We are buying a Tudor that needs a lot of brick work. I’ve learned a lot by watching a few channels too. Jose wish you the best in your new house!!
Yes always have a tuck pointer. Theyre a lifesaver.
Lovely job again Stu
Appreciate you watching Rob
Bloody show off you make it look so easy mate.
I’m a chippy and can’t lay a brick for my life
Great video! Really helped me with a repair I'm doing. Thanks.
Its like a form of art! Love watching your videos & can't wait to give this type of thing a go at home!
Just the job thanks mate! You make it look easy...bet it won't be when i do it tomorrow!
Another great informative video you make it look so easy 😂
Thanks for making the video.
Excellent tutorial! Thanks!
Quality video. Have a great day sir!
my OCD doesn't like that the bricks don't match, I assume it because there not longer manufactured and if they are not weathered. Fantastic job thought!
Can you please tell us how you identify the faulty / damage bricks, on what points you decide its damage..your videos are important for us.
The ones with a big hole in the middle.
Good brickie our Stu
Great video! Thanks. Makes me confident. I don't have a large saw like that, though. I've got a 4.5" angle grinder, like the smaller one you used. Is that going to make a deep enough cut for me to get the old bricks out?
Nice job matching the bricks
Great video. Thank you!
Love your videos mate, I might quit been a joiner for a while and start been a bricky 😹
Nice one Cyril nice one son
Very neat, well done.
Beautiful work! Real talent.
Another fantastic video stu pal.keep up the great work with KC 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁👍 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Will do james
I'm mo brick expert but this was a fantastic job.
Thanks! Going to give this a go at the weekend
I worked ! Thanks 👍
Could you please demonstrate the cleaning process includung the use of muriatic acid, thanks
Is the any issues about debris falling down the cavity? Great video BTW😊
Great video sir. Very instructive.
it's incredible watching this skill
Quick question why not use a small chipping gun , would it not be a lot faster?
Stitch drill it for no mess, butter the existing bricks then slot brick in rather than the other way round for no stains and muck all on the floor, let it go off a bit before pointing for nicer finish and it’s just easier, prepare a trowel full of stiffer pointing muck
Very good points
diligent work man, cheers!
Excellent vid!
Great, I enjoy seeing this kind of works, you do it very well, a Quality work
Nice satisfying watch . Good finished job.
What if its just a couple of feet above the DPM or ground level and the house is 100 years old? Would it be the same procedure?
...If you're a plumber...lol. Good video, I have to do some brick work, and this was helpful.
do you have to be careful not to knock back the hammered brick into the cavity behind?
Yes. The cavity exists to prevent moisture/thermal transfer from outside. If you bridge it with anything other than air / cavity wall insulation you will get thermal/moisture transference and the associated problems I.e. cold and damp
Thanks, great video, I am about to do the same job and this helped greatly !
Very good tradie and clean
