My Dad served his time in the 50's, I served my time in the 70's. I have never, ever seen a brickie walling bricks on his knees. I'm out of the buildings now and thank God. I don't even recognise Bricklaying anymore. 90% of them can't build a corner and the rest couldn't lay in bed straight.
Ever had osteopo arthritis in both hips . If you did you would understand why I need to kneel for the first few courses . I served my time in the eighties and I can build a corner and lay a bed straight .
If you’re so glad to be out of it why are you watching it on UA-cam?
And before you say anything who told you where the points should be? For inside and out. Before you say my dad ask your dad we’re did he get that drawing from.

Soulle was you born a cunt or did it come to you over the years

I've said it before, those bricks are beautiful. Just beautiful. Well done.
Thanks William, totally agree 😍🧱👍🏽
A master at your craft Steve,lovely brick I agree.

Nice to see old school bricklaying is still being used. Very nice job nice and neat well done lads 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks Mohammed 🧱👍🏽
Great job Steve. Well done on your own in that heat.
Thanks Rob it was a slog 🥵🧱👍🏽
My neighbour employed a bunch of what turned out to be Cowboys in the middle of July to build 2 walls. After 5 months, 6 brickies and a load of hassle, it was all finished today. Thats after the initial company went bust. Yes now middle of December from middle July. Then some wonder why tradespeople get bad names. Hats off to this guy, hes done more in a day than Roy Rogers and Co did in 3 months.
That’s shocking 😳🧱👍🏽
Great job Steve, and those bricks look awesome. 👍
Thanks pal yeah , we really like them 😍🧱👍🏽
Nice job… but I’d always put a couple of boards down on the drive before demo and definitely some dpm or summin on that tarmac path… nightmare for cleaning after
👍🏽🧱
Another masterpiece in building a wall cracking job steve looks amazing. 👏👏
Thanks Bob 🧱👍🏽
Lovely job. It’s amazing what you can achieve in only a few days…….

@@SteveAndAlexBuild do you use Rynobuild spot board stands and Marshalltown spot boards?
Rhino stands and boards plus tradeboards and gator boards

you are doing a wonderful Job Steve and thanks for the video
You are very welcome Eddie , thanks 🧱👍🏽
Another cracking job Steve there’s no substitute for experience 😀😀😀
Thanks Les 🤜🏽🤛🏽🧱👍🏽
Another lovely job Steve.
Cheers James 🧱👍🏽
As nice a brick I've seen in long time Steve a true professional you are.
Thanks very much 🧱👍🏽
Good to look back at shorts and tee shirt weather while we are in the middle of a "Bloody cold period " with Christmas just around the corner. Looking forward to the spring.😂😂
Yea mark , I always look forward to the spring 🤩🤩🧱👍🏽
Another beaut Steve. New mics are working well 👍👍🏴
Thanks Peter 🧱👍🏽
Wow, excellent wall, excellent tutorial.
Thanks Alex 🧱👍🏽
That's one really smart looking wall ! Another good job done.
Thanks Kevin 🧱👍🏽
From the initial picture, I’d just like to say, those ‘Ghost 3D’ bricks look absolutely stunning. I’ve only ever seen one job, and it was a big build, where these were used, in Loughborough. It looked as if it was moving towards you as you walked past.
Cheers Paul 🧱👍🏽
When we bought our house in the 1980s it has a single line brick wall at the front of the house bordering the street and it had collapsed. It was rebuilt with double brick thickness and it's still holding up to this day. We found out though that brick walls are expensive. It cost us £1000 back then. It was under 19ft wide (excluding the gap for the path and garden gate).
Yes a single skin wall is never ideal unless it’s very low .
That wall you got would cost a fortune now as bricks alone cost roughly £1.20 each, back when yours was done they would have need about 30 p 😬🧱👍🏽
Cold tarmac bags for patching in looks much better than cement, but other than that nice bit neat brickwork and jointed nicely and solder course not smudged up like some bricklayers do and you patched up block paving nicely
Cheers Trevor , yes we will be tarmacing going forward 🧱👍🏽
Nice, thank you for posting this
Thanks for watching and commenting neil 🤜🏽🤛🏽🧱👍🏽
Cracking job Steve 👍
Thanks Nigel 🧱👍🏽
like the blower to get the dust off the footings! Much better bond as opposed to no bond at all!!
Phil
Handy piece of kit that 🤙🏾🧱👍🏽
Great video Steve as always quality job 👍 👍
Thanks Dave 🧱👍🏽
Great video @SteveAndAlexBuild I really learned a lot from it. Can I ask what was the dry stuff you were dropping under the pavers before tapping them level?
Thanks . Just sand 🧱👍🏽
brilliant job again Steve
Cheers buddy 🧱👍🏽
Steve you really know how to build a wall. It looks fantastic. If only you were local to me. Might I ask if walls need a damp proof course to stop moisture rising? Also would the old wall been better with a steel rod in the pillar to give it strength? Sorry I’m no builder.
Thanks. Never put a dpc in a garden wall , you could just push it over 🧱👍🏽
Nice neat job - as usual!
Thanks mark 🧱👍🏽
A brilliant provesional looking wall and the patterns are great - However I have to say it I could not live wthi the letter "J" in the end pillow but hey thats just my OCD
😆🧱
Bloody he'll steve what a fantastic job, don't no who build the other wall but not very strong unbelievable good quality workmanship well done by the way is Alex on holiday you have certainly pulled out all the stops to achieve the workmanship
Thanks very much Ray 🧱👍🏽
Yes , good job.
Thanks Henry 🧱👍🏽
Excellent job
😁🧱👍🏽
Молодец! Реально круто получилось. Золотые руки. Берегите себя!
????
Nice work as usual 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks Stuart 🧱👍🏽
Great job. A question, why are you using the blue brick halves as fillers on the column? I thought they were expensive?
Thanks pal . They are the damaged ones that are no good for the wall 🧱👍🏽
nice job Steve
Ta Stuart 🧱👍🏽
I'd love to build a brick wall in front of my house,but it's almost 400 ft wide. I'm 70 years old and arthritic as well,so I'll just settle with a nice forest for a wall. Great looking job.
😳😂🧱👍🏽
Hi, I have a quick question and this could be because the way the footage has been taken but the coping stone on the pier seems to be sticking out a lot. Just for anyone's benefit, I am just a keen 'diyer' rather than any kind of trades so it could be a simple answer to this. I am aware that you have to allow for some space between the wall and the edge of the coping stone for the rain water to drip down. Thanks.
That’s just the nearest size they do in that colour which isn’t ideal 😬🧱👍🏽
@@SteveAndAlexBuild Thanks, I had a front wall built a couple of years ago and tried to go as close as possible to the coping stone size. Faced exactly the same problem, I asked for the piers to be built slightly chunkier which still left me around 40mm to play with on all sides.
@@RagingBlade1 🧱👍🏽
fantastic job
Cheers Jack 🧱👍🏽
Another tidy job 👍
Cheers Ivor 🤙🏾🧱👍🏽
Impressed .
😁🧱👍🏽
Guys, you get your skips from Omskirk , down the road from my home City 👍
👏🏽👏🏽👍🏽🧱🧱
Steve the brick you put in the pillar 24.27 mins looks like it's got markings scratched into it , not like you to not notice, and rectify it , great looking wall .
Just a bit of chalk 😆🧱👍🏽
Great job as usual, however, I think some cold lay macadam would have looked better to fill the gap on pavement side.
🧱👍🏽
Even some black brick dye would of been better nice job thou
🧱👍🏽
@@ryanr1237 my old block front wall I re painted when we moved in, was a 5” gap between the bottom block to a paver edger, the concrete had broken in places over time with standing water and was an eyesore. I cut it out and re did it, I haunched it for run off and painted black. Looks mint. No green or cracking since. Even some black masonry paint will make it blend in, tidy job nonetheless.
Why didn't you build it in English bond or Flemish bond thereby avoiding the weakness of the vertical straight-joint through the centre of the wall ? ( also much more attractive ) .
Because it would have looked odd amongst all the other walls plus I don’t like Flemish 😬🧱👍🏽
Great job, great video although you have put a block in the wrong way...lol looking forward to the next 📽🎬
😏😆🧱👍🏽
How many cushions Steve?😬I have one similar, the are meant for day chairs but the work wonders for kneeling in.👍
3 layers 😆😆🧱👍🏽
that mixer looks Pristine,how did you do it?.where did u get them spot board tables, thanks steve.
Thanks pal , just look after it even though it’s getting knackered now .
The stands are from Rhino 💪🏼🧱👍🏽
Beautiful job !!!! 💥👍👍👍👍👍
😁🧱👍🏽
superb m8
Cheers Mick 🧱👍🏽
nice to see the video
Thanks Anthony 🧱👍🏽
Lmaso, turn off the mixer…..😂😂😂🔨🍺💥
😬😬🧱👍🏽
ORMSKIRK my home town don’t remember it my family moved away to SOUTHEND ON SEA when I was 4, apparently born in magbull army barracks
🤜🏽🤛🏽🧱👍🏽
I would have put the engineering brick on the third course to act as a dpc and some diy tar mac.pavers could have been used from elsewhere on the drive to match 😉. I do like me quality. Got to be best in the street 👌
🧱👍🏽
I agree, the tarmac along the edge would have been the cherry on the top. Great wall and video. Well done.
@@iwayini cheers pal 🤙🏾🧱👍🏽
You could do with a labourer to help you take the wall down, do the mixes and line up new materials, but I guess its hard find a decent one these days ? A battery breaker would be really helpful to in taking the old wall apart too. Did you tie the new wall into the existing pillar on the boundary ?
My son was away when this we filmed and they wall didn’t need our breaker 💪🏼🧱👍🏽😉
@@SteveAndAlexBuild nice wall. neatly done sir.
@@brianlopez8855 thanks very much 🙏🏽🧱👍🏽
I love labouring. Is it really that hard to find someone who can do as they're told? It's about as unskilled a job as there is.
@@BlueZirnitra 😆🧱👍🏽
A question - the material appears to be cast concrete blocks, rather than traditional fired clay bricks. Is that the case?
No pal just standard clay bricks 🧱 🧱👍🏽
I’m liking some of your music…. The track your playing now …. Is me 🎉
👏🏽👏🏽🧱👍🏽
Did the original wall fail at the mortar course because it was single skin and without a pier?
Pretty much Norman plus I think the railings rusted and cracked the mortar 🧱👍🏽
@@SteveAndAlexBuild Thanks for answering Steve.👍
@@normanboyes4983 no probs 🧱👍🏽😁
Didn't understand the strange block paving around the pillar ? Your brickwork is bang on , also i always use cold lay tarmac outside or at least black dye in your compo
🧱👍🏽
Excellent job well done and a very pleasing finish too. One thing, I've never seen a brickie use a tape measure so frequently, I'm sure you have your reasons but unusual.
🧱👍🏽
Maghul… been there years ago…site of the mental hospital (near the railway)…plans were to build a new prison on the site, so it got demolished… built out of HUGE special bricks, about twice the size of regular bricks…then the government pulled the funding…so only one new prison got built, in London, next door to Bellmarsh, and called HMP Thameside…
Its still going mate . Ian Brady’s place of residence and death 🧱👍🏽
@@SteveAndAlexBuild interesting…must have built a new place then, as the original was flattened…originally part of the plan was to also build a new railway station on the site, on the existing railway that run past the site… Just looked it up, and yes, seems they did eventually build a new (mental) prison on the site…the photos on-line from last year make it look like the place is pretty new… the original demolition was done back in 98/99 I think, maybe it was a year or so earlier, can’t remember now…
@@stun9771 . The old hospital is now a persimmon housing estate ( where Stu crompton worked )
Maghull north staton is now up and running . A new slip road was put in on the m58 and a new motorway service station has just opened .
Work just stated on about 1.5 thousand houses on the farmland opposite the hospital entrance 😳🧱👍🏽
A great vlog. Do you ever recycle bricks if you can't the match.
Thanks Jesse .
Absolutely, we do exactly that in a recent video 🧱🧱🧱🧱👍🏽
Wish the brickie who just finished my wall was half as good as you and had some professional pride now having to pay another brickie to put it right
Oh no sorry to hear that .😟🧱👍🏽
@@SteveAndAlexBuild this is how bad mine is

Well, it looks like you just watched one of the 10% who CAN build a corner AND a perfect wall starting on his knees !
Lesson learned. 👍 Have a nice day.
Thanks buddy 🤜🏽🤛🏽🧱👍🏽
All those bricks chucked away, cleaned up they would have done for my barbecue 😉
😁🔥🧱👍🏽
🧱👍🏽🤜🏽🤛🏽
How did you get your mixer that clean
Keep it clean every time we use it then sone 10 mm limestone for 20 mins to polish it up every now and again 👌🏼👍🏽🧱
Hi guys, do you cover greater manchester area. If you do how can i get in contact for some lintel work please. Thanks
Hi pal , sorry we don’t go that far out I’m afraid , thanks for asking though 🧱👍🏽
Buenas tardes Alex y Steve Excelente y muy hermoso trabajo felicidades saludos y que dios los bendiga y acompañe siempre 👊👏🙏🧱💯👌🏻💪
Many thanks 🙏🏽 🙏🏽🧱👍🏽
Why were the railings a different way up? Did someone make a mistake?
No idea 🤷🏼♂️ 🧱👍🏽
Lol, turn of the mixer when your speaking…. I’m losing lots of important info because of the noise 😀
😩😩🧱👍🏽
Hello sir
In our country we try to recycle old bricks an use them again many Times.
Was this wall hit by car ?
Wish you all the best.
Greetings
No it was just knackered 😬🧱👍🏽
🤣Great reply Steve...that's our British sense of humour right there!
@@davebarrow2194 😁😉🧱👍🏽
👍
Any reason why you didn't put boards down on the pavement? Save's a hell of cleaning up after!
Didn’t have any . Only took 19 minutes to get the pavement clean 🧼 🧱👍🏽
Very tasty
Cheers 😁🧱👍🏽
Wonder why it fractured along the whole wall ?
🤷🏼♂️😬🧱👍🏽
😎👍👍
🧱👍🏽
Daft question but as a 9 inch wall wouldn’t an English bond be stronger. Did the owner have any preference?
English bond is always stronger 🧱👍🏽
Seems to me that the metalwork expansion pushed the pillars apart and weakened the whole wall. Metal and brick dont go together dont you agree?
Totally agree Andy , we see it all there time 🧱👍🏽
I live down that road mate
😁🤙🏾🤙🏾👍🏽🧱
I always told people to f off telling me to get knee pads. The good ol' styro board or old cushion is best
🤙🏾🤙🏾😁🧱👍🏽
What type of laser level did u use? Also was it easy to get the old mortar off the original footings?
Spectra LL100N and yes with a small breaker 🤙🏾👍🏽🧱
Can not hear you speak when the mixer is doing it’s thing…. I’ve lose the info 🔨🔨🔨🍺
🧱👍🏽
@@SteveAndAlexBuild 😁turn off the mixer…. I can see your artists , what your saying is important 👍🍺🔨
Great work love the videos but hate the piped music!
🧱🧱👍🏽
Great job ,if l need a quote for Brickwork how do l make contact??
Thanks.
Our e mail address is in our video descriptions 🧱👍🏽
You make it look easy, but bricklaying is physical, you need a labourer
Cheers John no thanks 😩🧱👍🏽
Jesus that mixer in the background ☹☹
Its knackered , but we don't notice it because we are used to it ,the trouble is the camera picks its racket up better than our voices 😩🧱👍🏽
Ever heard of salvage....everything in the skip!
Yep , the skip goes to waste transfer where the contents are sorted which means the we brick will be crushed for hardcore
ᵖʳᵒᵐᵒˢᵐ 💃
😁🤜🏽🤛🏽🧱👍🏽
The garden wall don't look good but where is the danger here, it's not high so it can't fall on anyone. The house owners might of had a go there self's as might not had the money to pay for a bricklayer, seen worse walls
It’s dangerous if a kid decides to swing in the railings . It was in a state due to rust damage 🧱👍🏽
Why dangerous
Because it could fall over if it was leaned on or pushed 🧱👍🏽
