Hello and welcome to Bricklaying With Steve and Alex! We are a father and son bricklaying duo who film our many bricklaying projects and adventures. Together we have over 40 years of experience and hope to pass on some of the stuff we've learned over the years. From pointing and garden walls all the way up to extensions from the foundations up we film all kinds of bricklaying jobs and even other jobs like steel beam jobs and fencing. If you want to join us on these adventures be sure to hit that subscribe button and tap the bell to be notified when we upload!
Our upload schedule is every Monday at 20:30PM UK time where we premier our videos live to interact with all our subscribers! We also occasionally put a video up on Thursdays.

Is there no concern about supporting the weight above it when you remove those bricks? If it was above a window (which would be higher up so less weight above it), you’d obviously have a lintel supporting the bricks the weight of the bricks.
What a crap build those houses were .. plastic front and no insulation at all. This version will be better and warmer than thw neighbours. An obvious cheap council house design, but I never realised just how cheap
What amazes me is not that you are changing the lintel height, but that the house was so poorly designed in the first place. Those 70's and 80's architects resulted in some of the worst buildings both esthetically and functionally.
I dont understand some people's obsession with uniformity. Its gonna be rendered so its will be completely different anyway. In my street 50s hip roof bungalows an owner took off his half of the roof and built a gable end. To me it looks great and its very different. Those 70s ? houses with cheap cladding on look crap 😳
We have a very angry little man insulting us without knowing any of the background to the job, accusing us of cutting corners and very full of self importance Doug, apparently we are vandals now 🤣🧱👍🏽
Nice work, will make a world of difference to the property. I use rain alarm Alex, you get a notification when it hits a certain radius of you. You can then check if its going to pass or hit you, it's also coloured coded so you can see the intensity of the pending rain. See you Thursday.
It looks ridiculous not matching the lintel height on the adjoining house. That’s the danger of allowing a bricklayer and an owner mess with architecture, always a bad result that the community will have to look at for the next 100 years!
@@SteveAndAlexBuild You have never done architectural work, it’s blatantly obvious.You are not qualified to change the approved facade, probably done to save you 10 minutes in cuts. What you have done is step over a line, and you are so ignorant you don’t understand what you’ve done. You have ruined the appearance of that building, dropping the other lower lintel so he can hang curtains was also a major mistake. Stick to bricklaying, stick to the approval. You are an architectural vandal. If we are talking about morons, you need to take a good long hard look in the mirror.
So by your logic nobody should ever do anything to their house because it will different? We have this design of house and it isn't good. Did you see the first video by the way???
@@KingstonHomeMaintenance Yes I saw the first video, in both videos they said they changed the lintel height from what was approved. Changing the approved elevation is not a decision that a Builder an Owner or a Bricklayer is qualified to make. Stick with what is approved or go back to council before you execute major changes like that. I don’t have a problem making changes to buildings but your neighbours have to agree with them too, hence the approval process. It is not up to some uneducated bricklayer to jeopardise those decisions because he wants to save time and cut corners.
Worth putting Weather Radar on your phone. Its only good for relatively short term visibility of weather but if you have an iffy day and want to see what is coming your way it shows you where the weather is and which way its heading.
Good job lads. These are the sort of projects where steady -steady wins the race. Couple of funny points. 17.04 - impressed how you utilized your broom. 33.20 Steve has just completed his job and is proudly giving it a final rubdown. If you listen in the background you can hear a dog going "ruff ruff." I'm not for one minute suggesting the clerk of canines was referring to the quality of Steve's blockwork.😊
Well done as usual x did I hear a fast motion oh s**t Steve when the scaffold wobbled 😂 well done Alex I follow amongst others D+J and young Steve reminds me of you gaining experience and skills and giving more to the team well done you'll be as good as your dad one day 👍🏻 x
Hi Steve & Alex. Nice job guys. About time you had an easier job. Nice block work Alex. Will look good when it’s all render. Then no one will ever see the hard work you guys did. Great job guys see in the next 👍
Nice work - might be a good idea to consider an aluminium scaffold tower - stronger and a lot safer - the 2005 HSE regs apply to self employed... 45 construction guys were killed last year - 51% by falls from height.. Keep safe.
