Sorry, Mr. Brickwork, with all due respect, I’m not sure you know exactly what you’re talking about. The scallops aren’t the problem the fact that it’s a 7 foot high independently built 9 inch wall without a single pier built into it is the problem. They have even swung a gate off it at the end for good measure. I can’t believe it’s still standing.
Been bricklaying since 1978 worked all over the uk and overseas, wide range of work ,i am now 62 and still involved in brickwork, can i just ask what was all that about ????
Cool video love seeing the restoration process and preservation of quality work. Cheers from a sparky in the US, God bless you, me, and both our countries. Thanks for being one of very few to put out quality content and use this platform for good.
A good bricklayer is someone who fixes another’s mistakes. Didn’t throw the builder directly under the bus but is pointing out the short comings to the younger generation. Keep boosting up the youngins. Take pride in your work be a bricklayer that will take few up if they ain’t right and one day they’ll go down and stay down for a 100 years plus. Best hands in the buisness, that’s what we need to be. God bless you Dean and the family.
I was in sidcup the other day sitting in the motor admiring a little development, couldn't believe the brick work mistake I saw, all the window openings and doors rivills ending with a closer,all he had to do was look at the Victorian property nextdoor to see the right way , don't know how thay get away with it
Agree with bond. Bigger pillar warranted. Movement joints should be installed down the boundary. A quicker fix could be just to grind out and mastic the straight joint but if the wall is intact 30years+ then criticism is a little strong-ish. It’s not in that bad of nick. Could av been partially build in cold temps….but it’s not a lot of weight above with it only being a few course so a little crack at the gate post could and should avoid been foreseen. I think lowering the course to bond correctly will solve, but may later just crack the rake and cut. Maybe add wire mesh aswell if this is what you intend on doing.

I’m gonna send video to son, he just passed his nvq brick laying coarse. Hope he understands this if not I’m gonna tell get to know. Listen to what this guy says it’s somebody’s castle and you as in knowledge is key my son it’s priceless
Great advice Dean. Unfortunately there are so many trades out there now that just want to make as much money as possible as quick as possible they don’t really care what happens in the future. People like yourself are a dying breed which is a real shame.
The technical knowlage is disappearing fast. I have a recently started apprentice and not only do they only do 1 hour of theory a week, they only do three hours in the workshop. The rest of their day in collage is messing about with something called smart assessor. Things like arches are no longer in the curriculum. Cavity wall with stretcher bond only the tutor told me.
that wall is half your age and still going strong and things built in the 1800 hundreds if it only needs a little bit of attention i think they did something right
An extra brick there won't get the movement away. The brick will easily break too. There should be better footing. Probably there is no footing or 100mm concrete.
If the scallop was one course lower it wouldn't have made any difference whatsoever. It should have had some expansion joints in a wall that length and the pier at the gate end should have been bigger.
Incorrect sir always start on a stretcher so it’s bonded that way 2 straight joints instead of 3 ..also yes 18’’ pier on gate for sure Me lads Gona do the repair I’ll post it Thanks
Sometimes mate depending on the project ..it has to be of worth I mean interesting project and skilfully demanding for me to leave me family Hope you’re well
@thetraditionalbricklayer9650 Love your channel and your outlook. Do you ever take on newbuild work? Or always restoration projects. I know you're building your own property in the background of a busy life.
Deano everyone gets the point you don’t like profiles but we dont live in the 1800 people move with the times I’ve never laid a brick in my life. I don’t want to my old man was a brick layer old school He never used profiles and probably never would but people have moved with the times. Just my opinion. Stay old school God bless.
No designer will show a 9 inch wall that high/long these days. The wind loadings are too great and the wall may fail. Minimum 2 skins with concrete infill or I’ve seen 3 skins tied also.

Correct. I’m not sure he knows what he’s talking about
Course the doors not helping but it’s the movement eg weather and building a pier that size not tied in
Well done , no structural integrity.

Nice one mate you have showed me loads i didn't know as a up and coming brickie thank you 👍
Maybe a wall tie or expansion joint tie up top would’ve helped … By the way love ya heritage work mate 👍
Why not just tooth out the pier and put 13 inch piers up and hides everything and gives more strength- keep em coming Dean brilliant mate 🍀👍

Keep up the informative work.When these creative skills are gone then all will be lost .Great work fella
How come no header courses or strengthening piers?
Well said, Dean .
Always on point Deano 🇬🇧👊😊
Proud of you always Dean.Youre an hard working man 👍 you are essential in the construction industry known for your expertise.
Thank you ..hope you’re well

Great point 👍
Can't you reinforce that section?
stick a rod in and tie the fancy work to the peer through the mortar line. stainless rod and chemfix not ideal but cheap
Well said sir

Anyway, more importantly loving the beard🤣
Are you sure it's not the expansion of those tiles pushing the end pillers
That house end of the garden what's going on there different looking bricks would drive me crazy
Your work is impeccable 👌
Bigger pillars throughout the wall would've helped and a couple expansion joints.
Bit of expanded metal or some rail track in when it was built would have stopped it 🤔

You’re a good man

Should have been built with a 13 and half inch pier especially when hanging a gate on it .
God bless mate 😊
9" wall over that length is wrong as well
You obviously know what you’re talking about plain and simple. There are no piers in it.
Dangerous having a 9 inch wall that high anyways. Pillars need to be bigger
If the scallop was one course lower it wouldn't have made any difference whatsoever. It should have had some expansion joints in a wall that length and the pier at the gate end should have been bigger.

Its just a bad design half or stretch er it will still go nothing to do will straight joint, it's a litter it will always go , 40 year experience
Little pier
To make out the wall has failed because of the 3 course straight joint is ridiculous.
What do you think it could be that's causing it as I'm interested to know@@suemarsden7249
Barb wire fencing cheaper, and safe
The pier is to small at that height anyway😂
There are Bricklayers and there are Bricklayers..
Top man
Or put a flexible tie across the straight joint
Go down one 1 more course n redo the pier but tie it in..?
Heighth 😂
Love those 3 words '' PROTECT OUR HERITAGE...enough said ❤
id say , 100% that Wall needs 12" piers . Definitely 3 .
Dean. Do you ever work away?

you are a standard bearer, thank you.
Correct
Now come build a old busted bricky a pond
I cant lay them myself these days
My fish need a new home
Dean best
I haven't watched you for a while and still banging on about profiles. What's happened to your voice?
Profiles are for so-called bricklayers who are too slow or who cannot build corners ........ End of chat ! 🏴
Me coaching hours in football have increased so a lot of shouting but mind you increase in cigars aswel 🫡
😂😂😂@@johnbowkett80
If your practisl is as good as your BS, you must be a excellent trowel😂
Deano everyone gets the point you don’t like profiles but we dont live in the 1800 people move with the times I’ve never laid a brick in my life. I don’t want to my old man was a brick layer old school He never used profiles and probably never would but people have moved with the times. Just my opinion. Stay old school God bless.
My trade is becoming very semi skilled which is not good for our tradition as a whole
Preserve our heritage and craft brother
These days the architect probably put a movement joint up there 🤣🙈
I’ve been a bricklayer for 40 years you talk a load of rubbish that’s just 70/80 crap cheap materials used at the time
No designer will show a 9 inch wall that high/long these days. The wind loadings are too great and the wall may fail. Minimum 2 skins with concrete infill or I’ve seen 3 skins tied also.
