Loads will take the piss and say crappy stuff, but at the end of the day, your repair looks good and if customer is happy and you got some work then all is good.
Your new brickwork looks fine, but it won't last. The concrete block wall behind has failed and is leaning forward under pressure from the ground behind, which has sunk to fill the void. There don't look to be any weepholes in the wall either, hence the damp. The whole thing really needs removing, a new decent foundation constructing, a new wall (with weepholes), heavy enough to resist the ground pressure, and backfilled with free draining material before repaving. Yes it will cost the client, but what you have done is only a short term fix.
Your right m8 Wrongly or rightly...he wants to just tart it up and hopefully sell in the next year or so I've told him I don't think it will last long I cut the bricks in half around the worst bits and made sure I left a gap But I know what your saying It needed ripping out I'm guessing we'll over ten thousand to fix..maybe even 20 ...30 The whole driveway needed to be sorted.60 wide by 150 long He just wasn't prepared to spend anymore money on property Thanks for feedback Lol never done brick wall before Talk about jumping in at the deep end
Great stuff! 🍻🍻🍻🍻

I know it's not how to fix problem
Its a shame your client didnt want it done properly, you pay peanuts you get monkeys.
Won't break the land speed record !!
I've never laid a brick before this
