Well, I work in construction and I do a lot of brick façades, I must say that the work with the brick was in my opinion, brilliant, clean, and the owner of the house should not say anything else except: Thank you. Congratulations, that was a motivation for my next job. Keep going.
Excellent Stuart.i trained as a bricklayer 24 years ago fresh out school.got my level 1-3 city and guilds.self employed on conservatories with my window fitter mate.weather turned bad and got myself a regular job on the council and done hardly anything build wise for 20 odd years.i recently got some work with a builder friend on my days off.i work 4 on 4 off.my how things have changed.cavity closers where I was trained to build in the reveals and stuff.now flat plastic with a bit of insulation in nailed to close the gap.must say I’m really enjoying it though.your videos are great mate.👍🏻
Most impressive! It speaks of your humility that you also included footage showing your helper in order to give him credit, too! Lu, Stu! Gbu! I‘d be super curious about how they adapt the rest of the house room and furniture wise to the modern style of the extension.
I just wanted to learn how to render a garden wall 😳 WoW. Couldn't take my eyes off every video from start to finish, professionalism personified, clean site, clean brickwork, clean everything ! A credit to the trade. Thanks for making these videos mate, I could watch them all again and again. 👍🏼👍🏼
Most of the comments on these renovations are people complaining about 'how they could do it better' or 'you should've done this blah blah..' It's so nice to see people actually appreciate something in this comment section for once.
As always at the highest level masonry. At the end of the work, I did not notice any errors or there would be something to complain about)) Excellent !!!
@@DiscoFang Thought that too as well, im sure between Stu and family they have good connections in other trade areas to get favourable prices as opposed to prices for strangers. Nice to see stuff done to last look the "olden days" as opposed to stuff being thrown up all around the country only to have to be revisited within a decade after people shell out 1000's!!
Enjoyed every aspect of the build. A rough cost of the extension, excluding the interior would help us to budget our build would be greatly appreciated Stu. Keep up the great work and content 👍🏽
Lovely build, lovely interior on the extension, just a shame that the site could not handle this size of extension. No garden left and bricks and mortar all round. Skill set top of the pile along with the skill in video editing. Stu your a very clever hard working young man. Well done.
Stu.How are Ya. Just Wondered. Why don’t you insert some insulation in the back of the tray damp.( angled pair board ) the DS / building control in my area Ask for it. I can see the logic in doing so, also I personally know that rock wall Saggs over time . A top tip for keeping the cavity clean. Use metal frame ceiling channel. ( MF7 as you build moveing it up as you go along. Keeps it real clean. All the best Jim
Ive been very fasinated with videos like this, i dont know if im getting old or what lmao but still very good editing stu well done. Really enjoyed it.
Really nice job done on this. Really clean. If I was to pick anything to change, it would be to put an incline on the roof windows, just so there is somewhere for the rain to run off. Other than that, looks amazing.
Можно смотреть бесконечно как работает человек...хотя сам, в свое время, уложил кирпичей состав и маленькую тележку...как понимаю мастера, когда он схватился за плечо...к сожалению болеть будет до конца дней...как у моего покойного отца и как болит временами у меня...ну что ж сделаешь...красота требует жертв...
@@Stucrompton1 nice. but also for those of us that live in straw huts could you add some commentary to the videos so we know why youre doing what youre doing.
Very nice indeed. Looks so nice with the black doors and the black kitchen. Stu does a extension like that need planning permission from the local authority?
I'm going to school in Norway now to become a "bricklayer" and a few other things linked to that. They're teaching us to use slightly different materials then you used and some more bracing for the inside bricks and instead of insulation we leave space for the air to circulate behind the outer bricks. No disrespect intended, looks awesome anyway.
yeah more common material is PIR insulation (celotex etc) and its necesary to leave gap ,wool might be fine as is considered air permeable(however i would stick to pir)
I'm Canadian and other than tighter building codes and more insolation, our construction techniques are similar to Americans. The entire time i was watching this i was thinking that it was overkill for s single story addon and that it looks SUPER difficult to make any changes after construction, like you can't just open up one of those walls to add wiring or a window or something and looks really really expensive vs our wood construction ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Yea im tired of seeing wood base house construction, no matter how pretty wooden house is, it is still a WOOD, not as strong and beautiful as concrete and bricks
@@thornwayne Why are you so against wood? lol. You must like living in a concrete prison. Concrete cracks and is heavy. Wood is cheap, strong, and easy to work with. You can put bricks as a reinforcement. Do you work as a construction worker or tree saving feminist?
It costs depending on how you look like, how your partner looks like, where you live, how you live, what car you drive, how much you earn and what job you have.... That is the common quotation in UK lol. Work wise i assume its around 3 months?
I always thought the brits were the best brickies and you confirm that mate. I also thought most of the good ones died off because of the fried breakfast 👍
Wow .. hats off to you mate..stunning job , love the skylights on the flat roof , but the quality of the brick laying is topnotch ,enjoyed every minute of the videos
Just want to say loved watching those - start to finish you've managed to get the camera going everytime on the job! Couple of bits that stand out!! - Recessed pointing, looks top notch i'm surprised it isn't more popular - Lovely bricks, no 2 look the same, variation everywhere top choice again. - Overengineered, but i love this, concrete foundation and steel reinforcement as well as the steel rsj's for roof - nice to see a piece of work done like it will last 50 year!!! What wasn't mentioned in negative over engineered comments is that one day rules might become more relaxed if it was already permitted by council and owners might want to take it up another floor. Structure is all there from the go if it will be possible! Thoughts on the loose fill insulation used in cavity as opposed to the solid PIR board Stu, really not a fan of it myself.... Just put 100mm PIR in a hall and 2 flats above and the whole building was toasty with no heating on in Nov and Dec!
