AWKWARD NEW LINTEL INSTALLATION 

That looks shite splits under it

Quality piece of work! Great to watch 👍

Great job very clever solutions Steve and Alex the blues look awesome 👏

Nice job, watching your video has inspired me to get me old whs out of retirement. I retrained yrs ago after a bad road accident that left me full of pins . So I do so many days in the office and so many days doing brick work , repairs and repointing . Got loads of jobs booked in . So thanks Steve and Alex if your ever up the crewe area pop in for a brew lads Thanks Pete

Good job, decent weather too

Love these jobs that you do, learn so much from them.....keep up with the great videos.

You never get the easy ones guys. Nice job. Blue brick looks great!!

Well done Steve and Alex another great job done

Neat job Steve 👍

Tricky job well done as usual.👍👍👍

Great job guys !

You guys have a great working relationship. I really like it.

Great job guys those blue bricks look really good .. never seen that reinforcement tie wire like that before .. at 24:05 you showed some serious skills there I liked it lol !have a good one guys 🙏🏼😄🇧🇪

Super nice!

Fantastic job, those blues aren't the easiest to lay 👍

Another quality job

I just put a lintel in our fireplace, we are planning a small Range as it was used for gas heating prior moving in. I couldn't believe there wasn't a lintel already. Nothing like this job but was a job in itself. Thanks for sharing.

Best bit of brickwork on the whole house..

Nice job!

Great Job Steve, I hate that old cavity injection material gets everywhere. the blue brick looks really nice. I have had the same problems with split bricks and there isn't much you can do. But a thumbs up from me 👍⚒️🧱

Just watched chaps and nice job. Might be worth using tarp to cover work area or get a worx jet washer which are battery operated and you can use off a tap or bucket of water to clean the area. Just adds that final touch. 👍👍

Nice job lads....cost effective solution.

Nice to see someone else properly filling those top joints, and I thought I was the only one lol!

Great job again lads! Awkward one for you but looks great!!! 👌

Cracking work lads! Love to see proper full joints when lads do soldiers, stronger and so much easier to point🤙🤙👌 keep it up lads!

Great job lads made good job out of bad job as always amazing work 👍

Oh the suspense of waiting for a premiere 😋

Bonito trabajo felicitaciones saludos desde Chile 🇨🇱🇨🇱💯

Interesting the differences between US and British construction methods. Nice job mates! And you actually had sunshine that day!!! Wow!

Thank you, a very informative presentation. I'm here learning about lintels after discovering a missing lintel in our house, missing over a large window in the kitchen. I discovered it just before beginning to replaster the walls following a rewire. I couldn't believe it when I began taking the old plaster off! All that is holding up the roof trusses over a window is what must be a "wood lintel". The bungalow isn't that old - around 40 years old. The previous owner must have altered the kitchen from the original structure. I don't know who did the work when the windows were fitted. I have no idea what a job like that would cost to fix as I only discovered it yesterday. The window is around 2.5m wide and its a cavity wall - breeze block internal - brick external skin. I'm more anxious than usual because every time we get a tradesperson in to do any work here, they invariably leave a mess or serious faults which we end up having to rectify ourselves in the end. The rewire was the same, even though a NICEIC registered electrician did the rewire. The thought of finding a builder to carry out structural work fills me with dread based on previous experiences with everything else. Moreover, I don't know how much this type of structural repair would cost too. Anyway, thank you again for your presentation. It helped me better understand the process.

Nice job lads. Took me two weekends to do what you did 😂 then again I'm a desk jockey.

top job

Great job as all ways just a thought I have in the past cut a slot in the back of the brick and mounted the lintel in the slot in the brick and then bedded it on to the wall. But hey it's still a great job. Window fitters look like they where smoking something.

Awesome bro 😎 👍

Personally I’d be more concerned with what horror show is hidden underneath those 90mm plus trims next to the hinges on those French doors Cowboy window fitting at work !

Congratulations guys. Excellent 👌 once again and you nailed it 💯% even with some casualties. QUESTION: What is exactly the material to bond the DPC? CT1?

Top Job lads....beyond me why no lintel in first place..

Your work is always brilliant plus you always go the extra mile by repointing above your two courses. Looks a lot smarter with the blue bricks. The bungalow I live in was built in 1966 so may not have any lintels. Always interesting.

I can't lie, the fact that those vents weren't put in straight, nor symmetrical or uniform really grips my shit 🤣.

Excellent bricklaying skills, but the lintel isn't right for the job; too weak for a 2 story building, it'd be transferring some load to the door frame below. It's really for a single story single leaf garage or simialr. Still, you made the best of a bad situation, you filled the mortar in properly, most other bricklayers I've seen would skimp it, so well done to you.

Easy £500 job. 👍🏻

Never put splits in should cut lintel and back of brick of cut mine so enough bearing on back and brick cut round lintel apart from the splits good job

Looks like the van could use some custom built storage.

We have a black polythene sheet and plastic vents inserted in between those engineering bricks. Why do we need these? Do moisture tend to accumulate more near window opening? Just curious🤔

Why didn't you use the bricks from existing soldier course and lay them as a bond course?

Amazing what people get away with! Nice Job. Do you know the name of the brick on that house? With the wavy lines? My house is built of the same, and I was told that its to receive render, is that right? or is it just a design?

Is it essential to put DPM into the inner skin or can you just rest it if you can't cut into the inner?

Great video and end result is very smart. How were the french doors put in? As in I am surprised the window held weight of bricks

Didn’t know you were able to remove Acroprops. Is this okay with any type of support over lintels ?

So the upstanding bricks are perched on the door frame here?

could that be loose asbestos insulation that dropped out of the cavity?

🍻👍

Forgive me guys, went on another brickies site, lasted 5 minutes, almost felt like I was a traitor to the cause, back with you now, only decent brickie site.

Hi there, need a few jobs doing, how far are you from Manchester?

why do you guys lay the lintel in the mud? and not dry on the brick. I thought that it needed to be dry on brick because of the metal works.

sorted chaps why did you start the soldiers n then go to time lapse n restart them from beginning

That stuff always rots in time as its not proper Briktor its just galvanise Exmat.

How much does a job like this cost?

I was wondering…if you take out a window and put in French doors…why not brick the job to the correct size, instead of putting in three lumps of timber either side of the opening to accommodate doors that don’t fit the opening…!!!

where where you working I recon it was widnes the wife called warrington ?

Sharp job. Looks great. 👊👍Dave Birmingham

Looks a right mess. New set of patio doors for another £600 quid and jobs a good un.

I always cut backs of bricks when brickwork doesn’t work coursers to window frame it’s not hard

Do they watches in UK, 😁 no really, get Alex a wrist watch ⌚

I hate to see those cuts under the Lintel, cut the bricks at the correct height and leave 10mm on the front

Cut the back of the brick, them splits look ridiculous

Blues across the only one window in the building ?

Timber plant on top of frame = no shitty splits.

Too many ads, stopped watching half way through

Tray not pulled tight

Plastic weeping inserts are suppose to be flush with the face brickwork. Looking terrible as is, disappointing. What's more concerning is that those bricklayers watching haven't commented, that is how we learn.

Should have just used full brick

60 seconds in and an advert! Way too many adverts. I'm afraid I won't be watching.

Seriously how many effing adverts do you need in a 30 minute video! Effing ridiculous.

Those jobs are more tricky than they seem Steve arnt they.I like the way you thought outside the box to over come the lintel not working to bricks i suppose you could of put a cover strip to hide the gap if the lintel had gone higher either or mate . Not easy work that you make it look easy . Great job as always everything you do is spot on the way it always should be so top lads fairplay to you both. Justin brickright 👍💯🧱🧱 Enjoy the weekend

Great work !! Watching brickies work make me want to be one !!
