Your a good bricklayer , i put 50 years in and loved it. But before I retired, i watched several young bricklayers starting new houses and was amazed they didn't have a clue how to set out or get a house square . And they were so full of themselves they didn't want to know . when i was young i was lucky enough to work with some really excellent very experienced tradesmen and if they were kind enough to teach me something i was very grateful. And of course you never stop learning. I always joked that you could teach a monkey to lay a brick , the tricky bit is getting them in the right place a
You be a good teacher to the young bricklayer. Everyone got to start somewhere. We all started like that
Thanks so much mate appreciate it
Izzy is a natural teacher, invaluable experience for the young lad
Thanks so much mate appreciate it
Kudos to the lads dad, wants his son taught properly
Thanks mate really appreciate it
Question, no wash out blocks/bricks. How do you keep your cavity clean because even your internal skin has snott hanging from the beds. Another thing, they do make ties that wrap around the steel coloumn flange for brickwork where you dont have to screw into the column. Also the cutting into the brick toothing is a no go, because you have now effected the structural integrity of block. Brick and blocks both have difference expansion and contraction rates. Regardless of what the client wants, you should have allowed for an expansion joint as per code.
And steel expansion varying against block expansion. Snots should be faked out, but it is purely a storage area. When you cut a brick or block I would personally only cut when using solids.
There all ways one your it 😂
You should have never even commented, but you did.
You sound like the "there's only one way to do it" type guy lol. Learn some new skills mate be humble and shut up and you will learn.
Izzy & Drew, another 'masterclass'! Utterly fantastic! What a job. Artistry! The pinnacle of brick laying. This is the best!
One tiny issue! Izzy and Drew... eyewear when cutting blocks and bricks! And indeed power tools. Seriously here 'one -eyed' ''Joe'' seriously look after your eyes! Only takes a second to have an eye 'blinded'. And you have your looks to consider! Please.
Thanks again! Brilliant.
Thanks so much mate really appreciate it! Thanks mate, we usually have eye wear
Sorry you should have had a soft joint under that steel frame to allow for movement
Brilliant work as usual!
Your video delivery, video graphics, clip transitions, and how you talk through processes is very professional.
Wish there were more reliable brickies and contractors like you and Drew in London.
One tip, though: get yourself a pulley system set up on the end of your erected scaffold and a long rope. Attach it to a bucket and pull your bricks and compound up, save yourself braking your back on a jobsite and you'll be sound as a pound 👌🏽
Thanks so much for the support mate, really appreciate it😊 glad you enjoy the videos too
You and Drew don't mess about do ya Izzy. What you guys managed to do on that first job in two and half days was amazing. Some might not realise that messing about with scaffolding, getting all that brick n block up there, the mortar, and doing all those cuts is really time consuming. Great stuff lads.
Thanks so much really appreciate ot
Great taste from the client, a plinth is a must, gives character to any build 👍
Thanks so much mate, looks great
I've done enough DIYing to know: if this is the level of craftsmanship you show at every build, I'd pick paying you over trying to DIY every time. Looks great!
Just started watching your videos not only are you a excellent bricklayer but you make it look easy and you are so happy in your job wish more young people were so happy at work your parent must be so proud
Thanks so much John really appreciate it, glad you found the channel 😊
No wonder, Izzy and Drew, you were buzzing by the end of the week! Great work, attention to detail, spot on as always! Bet Drew enjoyed back on a "proper job!". Nice one lads! 👍
Thanks so much mate 😌
not a single curse or swear word, beautifully edited. Prize the man who taught you well in life, you have no idea how good you are
Thanks so much mate really appreciate it ☺️
Well done lad teaching the new lads as well. You're a good man outstanding work as always..
LBC Commons, commonly known in olden days as Flettons 👍
What you and I learnt on I never had a problem with them or ryarsh either either or too many softcocks these days never mind tiltup panels are the new thing here in western utopia
Great to c a brickie that knows his stuff , fair play, neat work and a thumbs up to your colleague as well.
Cheers brother
Well done its good work I'm 63 year old bricklayer done all types of work like u it's. nice to see that someone has the knowledge 👌
Lovely job Izzy
As soon as you said we are using reclaimed bricks from the old building I thought oh no poor Drews in for a week of chisling mortar off 😂😂
😂😂😂 could you imagine 😂😂😂
Great job, Izzy, you’re a really good teacher - lots of patience and practical tips for the young lad 😁👌👌👌👏👏👏❤️
Thanks so much Terry, really appreciate it 😄

You make it look so easy mate you are a true craftsman
Amazing work
Im absolutely knackered just watching. Attention to detail is incredible. Like Clarkson did with farming you've managed to do for bricklaying ie make it unmissable viewing so congratulations for that aswell.
Haha thanks mate, appreciate it ☺️
good job bringing new people into the game
top class work as usual
Well done, as always. 👍🏻
Thanks mate
Quality video mate keep em coming please 👍

Thanks mate really appreciate it
Credit to you Izzy for sharing your knowledge with the young lad 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Thanks so much mate appreciate it
Not just crackin' on, but blasting 😏
great work !
Thanks for the comment, mate really appreciate it
Well done lads you and Drew smashed it great Watch😀😀😀.
Thanks so much 😄
You should always be on price mate! Your work output and ethic is rare. So you’re doing more than your fare share! You better be on a big day work rate mate!
Whatever this young man earns he deserves probably double.
225 a day he charges and 160 a day for labour so still not a bad screw on day rate 👍😁✌️❤️✌️
So is that 385 a day
Top class mate keep smashing on 👍
Very professional.🏗️🏗️🏗️🏗️🏗️🏘️🏠🏘️🏠
Keep those spots full ha😁
even helps loading the bricks out as well what a bloke
Cracking video and a cracking job.
Very tidy work.
great to see a young lad who wants to get stuck in to some hard graft. hope he enjoys and sticks with it, in a few years he'll be doing good work for a good living.
Thanks so much buddy
Nice job - music was doing my head in though 😁
great work
Having a late buddy of mine I’d say one of the best hardworking fastest bricky I’ve ever seen , I’m so impressed with you lads on a similar level . Excellent work ethic and highest standard 🇬🇧👍🏻
Thanks so much for your support and kind words mate! All the best 🙂
Well done mate, ive been a brickie for over 40yrs in my 20s and 30s we'd work 7 days a week but it soon catches up with you. Be careful
Thanks mate appreciate it 😊
That's exactly what I thought as I watched him throw that block up to get 6 ft high😅😅
best bricky on you tube
Cheers brother
Your a machine mate! Great job and even better video! 👌👍
Thanks so much brother, appreciate it 🤜🤛
Great work and productivity. You make it look so easy I feel like picking a trowel up myself!
Thanks for the comment, mate really appreciate it
NEVER watched a brickie video but this was actually super interesting…you have a great affable way about you and I can see you not only love your job but you love the work you produce…well done chief props to you and your hardworking partner Drew.
Thanks so much mate really appreciate you comment! Hope your well
Smashed it mate 👍 I'd consider more fixed price work, you just need to be confident with your quotes. With that unit job, I know it's not your issue but I'd be worried about the stability of the wall with it's small cavity, I would have suggested a pillar/buttress. Also leave a gap at the top, the steel will expand and flex. It's great you're showing another lad some tricks of the trade 👍
Great quality and really good progress, you must be pleased.
You ain't looking hard enough then. They are in there
@@markmorgan6231 Yeah Mark, I made the comment half way through, as soon as he got to the top lift I saw them.
Thanks so much for your support
Great to young skill .
Well done
Thank you mate
Why didn’t you tooth in with bricks when backing it up and just butt up to it with your block to save making them daft cuts? It still wouldn’t of been a straight joint
You are so good at what you do fantastic
Thanks mate
hi Izzy, i am working on a factory unit and decided to use Ozzy profiles on the corners but wanted to make life easier with veneer profile clamps from bt engineering. what i done was get some 2 x 4 wood and cut it about 150mm long . then routed out 15mm wide by 15mm deep along the 2 inch side . screwed the veneer clamps to the wood. when using slide groves over the steel i beam and f clamp then i can clamp profile for external corner, intermediate or run block work between steels. hope this makes sense.
Even tho d job was easier then u usually do d effort u and drew put in is commendable fair play great work as always
Thanks so much mate really appreciate it
👍 thumbs up and my subs although no bricky but a dedicated DIYer.
Only watched 2 of your videos mate but I'm well impressed, never done any bricklaying before but you've definitely peaked my interest! Top job izzy 👏
Thanks so mate really appreciate it! Have a fantastic Christmas and New Year's mate!
The scaffolding system is called Cuplock. Very flexible system to build a variety of platforms, very quickly. All you need is a plastic faced hammer and you're away.
It's rapid, very impressed with it 😃
Should look at investing in a ‘Doff’ stone cleaner. Big investment but nothing beats it for cleaning brick/ masonry. Whole new aspect of business for you guys
Good to see a young lad going in building trade tidy job too son
Izzy, you are a natural-born teacher, well done to you and the guys.
What's the name of the music track?
I have heard these guys eat there breakfast, dinner and tea in one go just to save time. 😄
😂😂😂Thanks mate really appreciate it
Lmao 'tech screws, just like that.' cut video? how many did you throw away? Low and slow with those. shot fire hilti is easier mate
Big up charlie
Like your vids,
Congratulations on your Super trowel win🏆
Keep it real.
Phil
Darcies old boss💪
Love the vids Izzy great work. Did notice you had you imapacter drilling the wrong way with the tex screw haha
😊😂 some shots are just for overlay and not actuality factually accurate 😘
@@IzzytheBricky haha love it. Keep up the good work mate 🥰
You've been on day rate all this time? Jesus get on price work!! lol that's crazy mate. Why? You are worth every penny
I'd say his day rate would be pretty tidy to mind 🤣
Im not one for chasing money mate, DW has worked really well for me for a while 🙂
@@IzzytheBricky Dude. Where's my weekly video??? :)
@@goodcat1982 Hiya brother, Just having a little time off. Everything is getting a little much. Love to you and the family 🙂
@@IzzytheBricky Fair enough mate. It's got to be done sometimes. See you when you return
There is nothing wrong with LBC heather's and even old bricks once jointed properly can look just as good ad new bricks.. Very pleased to see you are laying them frog up and you are so right about the setting out. School boy error safly most people will never notice it.
You do need to learn how to spin the bricks properly though other than that quite a nice neat job.
Good work, no swring no tattoos ,no mat ever 5 mines.
Im a stone mason 40 years at the game those lily's mint I've just rebuilt a gable what a job getting second hand ones to match in,that job your on with will look mint in 5 years time go on youngin 6:05
Thanks mate
Any decent RE on site will condemn or refuse to sign off works above 6 courses - backed up each face prior to starting again.
Anchon hammer on ties are a better option than drilling / shot fixing - You should be using a flexcell expansion detail at all steel abutment joints.
The purpose of this is to allow for movement between the steelwork and masonry. Steel will expand and contract and thus there is a risk of cracking where the 2 materials meet.
Not too sure of the size of cavity - but saw no evidence of how the inner and outer skins are tied together.
Same at gable abutment- no head restraint connection from steel to blockwork - normally debonded for expansion.
That said - seems to be a good lad - good attention to detail and hard working.
Not a bad days work there mate that is the sort of bricklaying I migrated to as houses don't pay and I was fed up with other people's carp work
I used to lay on a stainless steel ledge and lay a few courses out then take a brick out every five or six bricks lay in some Hessian sacking then just strike the snots off easy enough to keep the cavity clean
You have done a cracking job on there mate just a pity there are not enough tradesmen with the same work ethic
Get the young lad a Marshalltown tile setting trowel. He'll get the control quicker and won't fuck up his wrist and elbow down the line.
Expansion foam needed between steel and masonry.
Productivity is off the scale, keep it up👍
Thanks mate really appreciate it😊
Great work ethic you will obtain most of your work though reputation .
Good Man. keep do what you doing 🏗️🏘️🏘️
🐐 🐐
Did you say “it’s mint being a legend” 🤣
😂😂😂😂 mont being me 😘
In Sheffield pal used that type scaffold loads
First time I've ever seen London bricks laid frogs up ,I was taught to put the frogs down so water couldnt settle in them
They might be a bugger to lay, but them old bricks look good, great speedy job, hats off to ya lads
Thanks mate
Thanks mate
No problem mate,may seem strange cause it leaves a little shelf but that is how they should be laid other wise you can end up putting 40mm in a wall that works brick
First plinth flush with the wall second plinth 56mm back from face, face brick 112.5 from face this will ensure that door openings will stay in brick also keep brick format size and all perps stay in line above and below plinth
Thanks so much mate 🙂
Nice one izzy good to meet you yesterday mate im the old bricklayer you spoke to mate .Good luck to yer in the future mate
Thanks for the comment, mate really appreciate it! Was great meeting you ☺️
I do hope I am alive in maybe 5 years time to see you saying " if i knew then what I know now I would have gone easier on my self" LMAO trust me it will catch up with you
💪💪💪👍👍👍
Very tidy work land quick
Thanks mate
I did see you at super trowel I did know who you were great video
Thanks so much mate really appreciate it ☺️ great event
them snots ain't going to wipe themselves up
Greetings from Italian bricklayer
Hiya mate! Hope your well 😊
Great video lads. Drew has not mentioned his motorcycle for ages ?
He's got it back now
32:17 hahahahaha we've all been there. Your reaction was 10/10 i had to watch it in 0.5 speed. Great vid ThievingH
😂😂😂 cheers brother really appreciate it as always 🤜🤛🤛
No worries mate! Are you getting drew to do your cooking on old school runescape? Haha
@@lamb-tika-cod4934 😘😘 you noticed that ey?😂😂😉😉 50m in 2 weeks 😂
@@IzzytheBricky it's insane mate? Like how lol? I'm so curious. Beast. When do u fit it in and r u doing it on mobile ?
@@IzzytheBricky tell me how haha , also ..anglers?
that scaffolding is called cup lock mate,
Cheers buddy
When wrapping around the steel frame, and butting up against the I-beam, won't the expansion and contraction of the steel, or the movement of it cause the bricks to crack or the mortar joints to fail?
Day rate the lads spend hours looking at their phones..Price work the phone stays in the Van.
Great vid Izzy. One question from a non-builder , but why no tie-wires?
There are ties mate 😊
Just wonder why the starters are never shown how to roll mortar properly makes it easier to spread
