BAD WORKMANSHIP ON A LINTEL PART 1 

That's a very satisfying type of job, Steve. Knowing the shambles that was hidden from view and how it is going to be done properly and fit to last another 50 years or more! 👍

Great video, as always. I can scarcely wait for part two to see the reconstruction and finished job.

Loved watching this...... don't leave us hanging too long for part 2.....👍👍👍👍

coming along nicely Steve, proper cowboy job first time round!

Hi guys, another great video. Really liked the slo - mo with the grinder 👍. Bet that crap was done by the window fitters, see it a lot out my way. I'll bet the original door & frame were timber which would explain the lack of lintel. Hope you have a great weekend, can't wait for part 2. Regards Tim

Hi guys another great video! I bet it is nice to show the house owners what has been causing the problem and fix rectify it . Just love watching all of your skills ! Have a great Christmas and new year. Thanks for the videos☺👍🎄🎄🍺🍻

Done a few of those, COWBOYS COME TO MIND.CANT wait for part two. keep the vids coming.

That's a disgrace Steve, it takes nowt to keep the cavity clean. Some fly by night done the original job no doubt. It's sorted now Steve. Great work mate👍 All the best to you,Alex and family🍻

It was common practice to build over a wooden frame with a lintel on the inside only,this is why you see cracks and sagging brickwork after UPVC frames have been installed.

Good to see you guys back Rod

Just a quick thing, you're not really supposed to cut lintels, you've cut away the galvanising and exposed bare steel, always best if you can to buy the correct size.

Great video fellas...👍

Steve speaking into the mic reminds me of 'whispering' Bob Harris back in the 70's. !!

Excellent video well done 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

Nice little video Steve, nice to hear your voice too. I'm not sure if anyone else has commented on the cavity tray you are taking out, but it looks highly likely to be asbestos, the old crumbly, mesh reinforced dpc's normal are the dangerous ones. I was so relieved to see you masked up. Nice job (mine are still on their way, I promise!)

Opa estamos por aqui...aguardando

Nice one mate👍⚒🇬🇧

Sure you're gonna do a brilliant job Steve...I dont wish to know how much you charged that's none of my business but I'm sure it's really hard to justify to the owners the amount of work involved in such a small looking job when actually it's much harder and time consuming than it looks...🏠

Do you ever worry about damaging the door/window when you're dropping masonry past it like that? Knowing how careful you are, I half expected to see a board up as protection.

Good job. The crap you were pulling out that cavity is a joke. But not suprising as I've seen some bad cavity fill haha

Love the videos lads, always top work. When is part 2 coming?

A good ole father and son business👍. I worked 7 in a half years for a small father and son contractor (back in the 1980s and early 90s).. Good Memories. And Hard Work.. What I remember, everybody was on the same page, you knew what was what working in a small company of about 12 to 15. Bigger companies have terrible communication.

P.S - would love to see a vid on the correct use and insertion of strongboyz or other solutions. Thanks!

I was actually quite surprised when you found some solid mortar near the edge of the window.

It works without annoying music ... great! 👍😎

Looking forward to part 2. Any idea how old that lintel was?

Hi Steve, quick question, can you mix building sand with sharp sand for pointing, or is it best to stick with building sand ????, regards Dave.

Good old Hitachi radio...you me same!

Can't find video 2, thanks for the up load btw

bad workmanship is being polite i reckon,proper chancer did that but its in the right hands now,you do a lot of lintel and tray replacing handy wee jobs if you can get them keep up the good work

Hello Steve, Done quite a few of those in my time and usually always the same culprits, ie crappy flat bar as lintel with hardly any bearing either end and thus the door or window frame taking most of the load. So along comes Bob the builder , takes out one course then "stuffs em" back in with some super hard "muck" without any regard for the cavity tray behind and the problems it will cause. Wonder where he tied his horse up? Still "old Bob" keeping you in work , shame you could'nt ask him round to watch so he knows next time eh. Those jobs can be a real faff but strangely satisfying when done correctly and complete with the problem solved. Keep up the good work Steve and Alex.

👍🏻👍🏻

should have covered the door with viscreen to prevent accidental damage,scratches etc.

Next time you upgrade your van get something bigger you won't regret it. I got a sprinter and it's the best thing I ever did,no more struggling!!!

fkn ell......did you get a free top hat and monocle when you bought that drill?

Great work again pal. What area do you lads work in as It would be good to keep you in mind for work in my area if you local seeing as your work speaks for its self

Looks like your doing a tidy job boys but I have to say that your scaffolding is shocking!!

Clickbait!! You didn't do any bad workmanship !! (-; Subbed ! Thank you, brilliant video.

Too bad you never find some things of value in that stacked cavity 😏

I feel for you good guys that have to second guess and price these jobs then win them. What you found there is the sorry state of the UK building game. Thanks for sharing.

Nice work. Voice volume a lil too low to make out, captions little help.

That’s got the window installers name all over it 🤔😬🙄Top work again guys and decent bread and butter between jobs ☔️🧱💶

ESTA VAN É GUERREIRA

Criminal is what that previous bodge is.

As pet hate off mine is people slamming doors it causes so much damage over time.

Know the difference between YOUR and YOU'RE.
