Nice. Do you typically find that most high quality work can only be achieved based on nationality? English being the highest standard and all others below it? Would you consider yourself to be a xenophobe or does your prejudice reach into race based assumptions too?
What's wrong with £500 a day, solicitors and doctors get more than that and lots of sportsmen and people in other jobs get that and no one bats an eyelid....he's doing a real mans job and not sat behind a desk.
I had a roofer recently quoted me 2500 pounds for going on the roof to fit a funnel on the chimney and point it. I had some one to do it and it turned out to be a day work and it was over 1000. I think that builders are just too expensive. A new roof was £5000 I was told.
Ur paying for experience half the time more so then quality it takes years to get to that old guys level so he earned that rate if no one was payin the rates half them get they would be out of jobs a long time ago obviously the more u pay from a proper contractors the better it’ll be then if u pay some beginner to do it

It's not just about the money. Think to yourself being rained off, working outside during those winter months, etc etc. The skilled trade experience, that's why £500 per day is reasonable. To be honest, there is a market for just being a pointer, skill required, but not as much as a Skilled brickie

You LOVE getting ripped off.
This is why I learn how to do things myself
Love this guy and his old Dad trowling! Or should I say TROLLING? 😂
Solicitors charge that an hour and no one bats an eyelid.
Good on your old tradesman you should have told him £750 day 😁👍
A thousand pounds and day, and I bet he will stretch it out to two and a half days. You can always find some wiggle room, no matter how tight the price is. 🤣
He better finish it in a day or he’s sacked 😂
@@BONKLIFE007 he will never be sacked but he’s going to retire fully very soon
@MagicalMonkey924 will bring him in once a week for a few vids 😂
Love the old bricky guy is a legend 🏴💚
Ben my old boy was a brickie in and about London for years Scottish brickie went down south I think early 80s and stayed great bricklayer and great at sinking pints 🍺 😂👍🏻🏴🇬🇧
I have worked with hundreds of brickys the old boys was always characters
@@Brickwork101 I laboured to my old man a few times he was a moody old cunt 😂😂grafter like mad pub at dinner time then back to the graft then pub at home time till bedtime if his muck wasn’t spot on he went mental at me 😂plus I accidentally pushed his marshsltown trowel down a chimney stack 😂😂😂🤦🏼🤦🏼
That guy 😂😂 Subbed! ❤
He only wants to be in line with our politicians daily expenses! And he'll do a day's work 😂😂😂
I was on 300 per day in 1995, 2024? 250 🤣
You must have been on ' cash in transit ' .
I love this guy
And why not. .good on him😂 MPs get almost that for sleeping
500 a day is fine if the customer is happy. Building trades are underpaid for what we provide.
You seen the state of the new builds. Too many fellas playing in the snow on lunch break
@@feedaponythat was only for one day… and in our defence we didn’t know health and safety was coming that day😂😂😂
@@Irrationalsquirrell 😀🤣🤣🤣
And he's worth every penny. 👌
Who’s paying the 500 per day
The boss
@@Brickwork101 I’m sure the customer wudnt be paying £500 a day for repointing
The customer is charged per meter for the whole job which is 110 square meters plus scaffolding.
I bet he would do a great job and worth every penny.T
Joys of working with the father in-law lol 😅
Might be £500 and a cooked breakfast your paying for the man years and years of experience good to see he still wants to do a day graft and still enjoys it and i bet he will carry on till he drops as hes old school but at least the job will be done properly and last for many years your lucky to have a dad like him 👍🍻🇬🇧
He’s a legend
He must be a Thatcherite! 'Greed is Good' economics.
Not just bankers and CEOs that are bastards.
the rapor and wind up is good, the prepping is
well done alone,
Imagine phoning for a bricky and you open the door to the old bricklayer saying here to give you a quote lmao
His opening line is usually I’m here to fill some holes 😂
@@Brickwork101 Haha I would shout to my wife, babe its your lucky day 🤣🤣
😂😂😂
If he'd built.it correctly in the Victorian days he wouldn't have to re point it cowboy 😂😂😂
