Bricklaying - Lots of Concrete Blocks - Setting out Blockwork  

I’m a stonemason general builder from north wales I must say I can’t get enough of your videos well done you keep them coming

Super...

Give the engineering bricks a rub down with the insulation. They come up spotless

Top Arbeit und super Typ.

You are definitely the best person on here regarding bricklaying videos....you are just crack bang wallop..you are steady and smooth and neat and take pride in what you do...you also do a good job in explaining in simple terms how to do the job you are doing and why you are doing it that way. Keep the videos coming as I enjoy watching them and always up for learning new ways of doing things which might be better and I'm sure other people would agree....hope you a getting a few quid from RU-vid for the time you spend on your videos when you could be focusing more on your job. Rob songer is another good neat and knowledgeable bricklayer...he's not very quick but he is neat knows his stuff like yourself...but your videos are better to watch than his because he is painfully slow and you are more real world in how you operate. You should think of a different angle to your videos that other people haven't done yet regarding laying bricks ect....don't know what that might be but it's something to think about. Look forward to your next video

Good job as always bud. You have great work ethic. It will serve you well

My apprentice got me on to your videos. Kept telling me to watch this pommy bricky on youtube haha. Quality work mate.

Cheers brother! I just started masonry a few weeks ago and I'm learning a lot from you. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience 👍 😁

My father was a bricklayer with 40 years of experience. He was very precise at the wall, but you are like him. Respect!

You seem to be getting more and more efficient and making the work look like a breeze! Keep it up dude 👍🏻

Great video and tidy work on the blocks there… absolutely fair play to get production you’re knocking out by yourself…

Really nice job bud. The owner should be very happy !!!! Good vid as always

Brilliant job mate, 👍🏼

You’re a grafter Izzy lad always a nice neat job 👍

Liking your work young man

Hermoso trabajo 👌👌😍 saludos desde Chile 🇨🇱👌💯🧱 🙏

Izzy concrete blocks 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️👍 nice work 👍

Great videos lovely work and a nice guy its all looking and coming along perfectly. Crap this time of year though mate in it weather wise . Good luck.👍🧱🧱💯

Brilliant work on that blockwork buddy, I'm following you on IG by the way! Keep up the great work as always! Looking forward to the next one! 👌😁👍👷‍♂️🧱

We never put small pieces in the wall. Use 75 mm piece on corners so there's no pieces.

Izzy so, pleased to see your support belt but lower down ware it lower down back.. pity bout forgetting plastic under damp and over the plinths ... you will never loose the passion... so nice to hear the 🐎 horses passing in background as you so lucky with weather... your business will grow and so will your financial head, remember they have the easy bit the money 💰 Malcs in Perth WA ♥ 😎

You seem like a cool guy. Good luck with your channel.

Tell ya what mate your vids are improving all the time- can see everything your doing in order and it paints a good picture of the job. Cheers for taking the time to do it all mate- can I request a song please? It’s Syn cole- got a feeling, you’ve used it before I think…

11:02 when you paste the joint on use the bit left to butter front edge of block then there is no good to fill later. 13.40 same thing butter front full.

Good bricklaying but where is the vapor barrier, insulation and block weld tieing the blocks to brick?

Hi, good videos, no time lapse, that's good because we can see you work in more depth, also, are you using a 13" trowel ??

Rub them with a bit ov insulation works for me everytime 👌 just let it go off a bit 👍

Blockwork very tidy,, shocking working conditions,, I was told many years ago you shouldn't be hitting blocks down with your hand, that eventually you will start to lose the feeling in it and I noticed you do it quite a lot,, keep up the good work 👏

The amount of people that jump to gun the gun on so many occasions you forgot this you forgot that I mean I think the man knows his job 🤣

Wouldn't it be wise to put a plastic cover / DPC over the plinth? It stops mortar from damaging the face.

just out of curiosity what do you use in your mix to have so much playtime with the blocks/bricks. Because here in Denmark we got like 20 secs and its dead with normal mix sand/cement.

awesome work bro can i ask where you got the block cutter

Looking good , be good to get on the scaff and out of all that shite ! Get a pair of fitzbricks you won’t regret it 🧱👍🏼

My gaffer calls them top courses of block onions cos they make you cry

Snobs going to collect on tray bridging cavity

I bet you have 20k subs by Christmas...if not 50k. There's onky so many brickys in the world that watch it on RU-vid and it seems you've gotten over that algorithmic hurdle already.

Your not a bad bricky & You can dance a bit 7.48 . Wiggle wiggle ha ha

I was under the impression from another video I watched not sure if it’s true but he said that blockwork or bricks where the lintel bares on to it should be a full brick or block to NHBC standard? I notice on some of yours where the lintel sits on the blocks some of them are cut blocks does it make a difference is is that just in an ideal world?

No tender?

There SHOULD be a LARGE air space gap in-between the face of the insulation and the OUTER WALL inside the cavity ; this includes an air space gap in between the face of the insulation and the cavity-wall-tie drip point which is in the centre of the cavity. Ask N.V.Q. BRICKWORK teachers for PROOF of this !

Why did you put a 2 inch cut in the middle of the wall??? Then a 4 inch cut next to the corner??

how much long iss your trowel cm plz?

DPC's should be fully bedded.

Why don't yous return your inside blocks up your window jams and door jams with 4 inch damp and 4 inch strip off insulation

I would have found somthing to cover that plnth save the cleaning lol

Bedding your dpc wrong! You need to sandwich the dpc in the mortar bed not place it directly on the brickwork without a bed! Plus you've put a cavity tray in but I didn't notice any weep holes!

I have to say mate you should never have started until the brick plinth is fully protected , also you have to use concrete brick at the corners ..

you look dead young in these older vids lol

sound

why no polythene

Cover that plinth and sort the bond out between the two windows, apart from that 👍👍

i bet you dont forget polythene again saves loads of time cleaning up

Don’t you return your door jams

No clue why you guys don't use scaffolding. Look like a pro use clean tools. 😱

Jam not jarm lol

Get rid of that belt mate. It will weaken all your core strength. If your struggling on blocks at your age that's a bad sign.

Just wasted time cleaning plinths
