“I mean you could leave it, but I don’t want to. Pride in the job” that says everything Stu.
Another great job/video!
Had a garage conversion done but builder left the brickwork messy with concrete residue still stuck everywhere (thanks dad) - didn't realise cleaning it would be this easy! Will give it a go, and great instructional video!
As an apprentice bricklayer my job at the end of the day was to clean the tools, a quarter bat soaked in a bucket of water, then scrubbed across the blade of the trowel a few times, if it was not done right i was sent to do it again, i was told look after your tools and they will look after you.i still have tools from when i started to serve my time at 15 years old, i am now 65 years old, and still using them now and then, i tried to instil this into my apprentices when i was working. i look and think i wish i could pass on my skills to anyone that wants to be a bricklayer.
i know what your saying les its to easy just to buy new tools tho now
Your trowel must be microsopic
Les Gill. What tools are still remaining? Your trowel must be non existing as must your bolster. Also most other chisel. Brick Jointers with holes in ( useless ). Pointing towels useless. Tape measures with no guage and non retractable. Brush heads with no bristles. Only thing i see you still using is a mash hammer. And only if it was well made. Why ya lyin for?
LYIN AS YOU SAY why should i ? i am only stating a fact, i still have a bolster and chisels made for me, by a mate who is a blacksmith, the trowel i am still using started off as a 11inch WHS, that is approx 7 inches now, that was my main brick trowel,when i came to other work ie manholes etc, i used a smaller brick trowel, still have same line pins, concrete float, 3 different sized pointing trowels, YES and you are a bit numb to say brush without bristles, ,tape measure with no gauge, ( GAUGE NOT GUAGE) well seen you lacked school days to come out with comments like these, your what we call in my part of the country a ""DIVVY"", if you have to be critical don't! your just showing other people how silly you are, Stu's site is suppose to help and guide people along who are just starting out, or need a bit of advise. so try and put your two brain cell together next time you try and make fun of someones TRUE comments, SORRY STU for the rant on your site.
Les Gill how many other tools you gone through though. Cannot use same ones over and over. I respect Stu's graft and have shown my appreciation. Just think your telling a few porky's. I'm a bricky too and know what wear and tear tools go through. Just dont believe you. Sorry if I'm wrong but i have an opinion!
I cannot thank you enough. After watching your video I purchased this cleaner and have today cleaned a run of red engineering bricks. It was exactly idenitcal to your video. The outcome is amazing. I had no idea the end result would be so perfect. Thank you once again.
Came here to learn and was welcomed by some sick shreds that were unexpected but definitely welcome. 10/10 would recommend.
2 mins in SUPERB!!! ha ha ha ha ha nice on Stu I like the music
In decorating circles that brush is known as a striker brush. I've used them for cutting ceilings in for years.
lmao Stu trying to keep everyone happy @ 1:28! Love the humor Stu! :)
Mr. Crompton, you are now officially my favourite British builder! 😀
thanks niko made my day
Your five course brick 🧱 wall is a piece of art 🖼 work. Bravo 👏 Thanks for showing us how to clean off the bricks.
You could actually just be barking mad, but your accent, clean work, and attire lends you credibility.
il take it as a compliment lol who wants to be "normal" thanks for watching
Brush is also called a dog leg
We used them in the Shipyard for various jobs.
Looks great!
Do you have to rinse off the acid afterwards? or you just leave it on?
Don’t know why he didn’t answer this most important of questions??
Very simple on a 2 by 1 foot while drive big two-story house brother bit different we use way bigger brushes on poles
I think that type of brush is called a “turk’s head” brush.
the music got better for a minute...lol thanks for the video, will give it a try.
As always a great vid thanks stu you take so much pride in ur work even on the little bits in ur garden 😀😀
+Xx_monkey _xx thanks monkey appreciate your comment mate
Keep the vids up mate, really enjoying them. 👍
+Charlie Sinden thanks Charlie mate appreciate it
I absolutely love this channel
A fantastic video stu.really liked the guitar demonstration. Well done and keep up the good work 😁👍
That's how you clean bricks
Do you not have to wash the wall with water after? Does the acid get absorbed into the brick and cause damage
The problem with using any acid is even when its diluted it takes the glaze off the Brick, if you look at the panel at the end its dull, it should be shiny for an engineering brick.
telstar9 couldn’t you just wash it down come back the next day and waterproof it again? Waterproofing brick should be done every 3-5 years anyway. Let me know!
😂😂well I wasn't expecting that mid way through the video 😂loved it nice work again mate
hahah nice one liam mate lol
That brush is used when fitting truck tyres to put soap on the tyre to make fitting it easier 👍
Rock on stu, nice guitar action with the level 😂😂😂👍👍👍👍
lol thanks mate
Any brush will do, the striker brush he has is for awkward places that a straight head brush cant access
Brush is the old 'Turks head' we used them for tar etc
Great video! If the brick panel is for a garden bed (planter bed), is there any rick of the acid releasing into the soil and harming the plants?
Ace video as always. Went to buy the brick cleaner yesterday and it brought my bricks up a treat. Thank you Stu :-)
😂😂😂LOL the rock session... I Love your usual music stu🙌
jump to 2.53 to see how to clean brickwork.
I just did that, this guy talks too much! It’s like get on with it lad
Stu gone mad
Came for the brick tips, stayed for the air guitar. Nice!
Lol mate cheers
Thanks stu for making this video!
+Joshua Bayne thanks for watching josh
Another good video mate, always a problem keeping engineering bricks clean.
Do a video on setting profiles up??
Loving the vids Stu. Very tidy work. Rock on 🤘. Quick alternative tip. Rub with rock wool ( fibre glass insulation ). Very handy when building extensions. Cost affective too as you need it anyway for cavity fill 👌
yeah i hate that stuff makes you itchy, but i will try it on lime mortar, cheers steven mate
Its called a striker brush, used for painting hard to reach places
Your brush is a Long Reach Brush ... 🙂
The brush is called a striker brush. For decorators.
That brush is called a striker and can be found in trade decoration centres
Great video, I wasn't aware of acid wash as I haven't started college yet. Thanks
Stu gone mad 😂😂🤗
+Mohammed Awais hahha got to have. Laugh mat mate 😂
Very helpful. Thanks for letting us know. Keep posting.👌 From Texas 🇺🇸
Bring back the house tunes Stu 😉great video mate
i will try cater for all mate
Brush maybe for cleaning car tires ?
“stu where do you see yourself in 10 years time...” (stu 10 years later 1:35)
Would you follow the same process with a textured brick? We have the antique rustic from London brick company. God awful they are. Currently repointing the full house.......about ready to burn it down
Would you use that same stuff on brick work that's had the plaster stripped off it? Just doing my fire surround. Also do you wash it down with water after or just leave?
Helpful vid thank you, but especially liked the music in the middle \m/
Hi mate... Great video as always... can I ask do you do this as a matter of course on conclusion of every working day?
Every question I’ve had so far you’ve got a video for!
Music okay Stu nice and relaxing keep the videos coming
Do you not have to rinse the wall after its done to neutralise the acid?
Great Video, just wondered if this acid would get rid of dot and dab marks that I have on my brickwork after taking a load of posterboard off?
im sure it would ian its powerful stuff
Gotta love stu top lad and great at everything 😂😎
+Lewis Silverson ha cheers Lewis mate
Could I use this product to clean soot from an old brick fireplace?
The brush stu actually looks like a tar brush😉 but perfect for your application .
Can acid cleaner be used on completely cured mortar smudges?
That doesn't answer my question
Nice vid man.cheers
Striker brush
Brush is called a swan neck pal used alot in painting engine bay canal barges ect 👍🏼 good video
cheers danny
The brush is a long reach brush used by decorators to paint ceilings on landings with a roller n that brush without steps! Good vid though keep it up stu
you wouldnt go at a celling with that brush mate more spindles on a stairs
Hey bud I’m here in America and I was wondering how much y’all get per brick on laying a foundation. Thanks bro keep up the good work!
hahah that break down
Just some advice from a german bricky apprentice: Never
point your thumb out like that when doing the devil horns ;)
thanks willi
Nehighbour looks out window. (Calls estate agents)
+No longer my channel made sure I was covered, thanks for watching 😁😁🕺🕺
It's a tar brush.
+Anthony White thanks for that Anthony mate
It's called a STRIKER in the painting and decorating profession
The brush is a 1.5" podger/striker
It’s a 2” round striker brush that.
Or a long reach brush.
Turn the container on its side when pouring and it won't glug and splash
You applied directly to dry brick and also did not wash off ?
Thanks Stu for showing us how to clean brick work. Question, is there any household substitute for that acid? Like detergent for morter. Im asking because not all people live in UK so we gotta work with what we have ;)
dont think so mate because mortar is very hard to clean
Do you have to make sure it doesn’t get on the cement?
How would you advise doing on a bigger scale and after having your gobbo already set.bricky has left joints looking a bit of a mess and me as apprentice joiner has to sort it.(he blamed the bricks I might add 😂😂)
Good work bro
Iff the mortars dried on the bricks will it still get it off???
I’d give up bricklaying
would acid remove any tint that I had been applied on my brickwork? the
tint was to blend two different colours of brick that my house was build
with.
Can i use this on stone wall?
where do the stains come from? the liquid in the mortar runs out?
it dosent run out. sometimes you still have some mortar on your tools or hands and it can stick to the bricks
Hi Stu could you use this on face bricks I see u have used engneier bricks
Need to get concrete off but the customer has artificial grass. Will this damage the grass
Thanks for your help
The dance alone has earned my subscription ;-)
Anybody looking for a similar brush it’s called a striker brush
So that’s how. I just did mine with water and a cloth. Let’s see how they look in the morning.
Needed KC on the air drums.
Hi what's best solution to get paint off exterior bricks please
What about the graphite spray paint could be washed too?
Hello mate do you just do brickwork or have you thought about branching out into general DIY? I've found From experience that if you've got the mindset of a builder you can learn most trades fairly easily
we can all learn anything we want to ricky. you dont just have to learn one skill like the government and schools brainwash you to do.
stu crompton I completely agree mate. I'm 20, left school when I was 17 and knew nothing of self employment. They just push and push to go to uni. So happy I got myself a trade and am self employed! I wish they would put more time and effort into apprenticeships and trade training in schools. I know so many people my age who can't even change a plug or a lightbulb yano?
Hello! So you do not rinse the bricks with water?
It’s fine to rinse the brick once the mirror is gone.
Hi Stu,
We have just built an electric sub station in sand faced lbc commons with a shuttered concrete slab on top of the walls, unfortunately the concrete has stained the brickwork in places and I have tried an acid bath exactly the same as you have demonstrated but it not been successful, the next option is to power wash but I’m concerned about blowing the face off the brickwork, have you any ideas?
Cheers,Den
I have been told you must wash it off after 10min as it burns the bricks but you left it on there
Which acid would you suggest? The off the shelf options are quite weak in % terms.
Would it get rid of efflorescence on Stratford London Imperial Stock Bricks?
It’s called a striker, a painters brush 😋
Love ya vids pal
cheers dave mate
More of the Rock music please Stu! 😂
+Addicted to Projects haha ok mate
do you know if this wash oil paint off
