Nice to hear the clangers at the end of the day 😊

18 year old laborer and been doing it since I was probably 10 years old, longer than that, longer than I can remember. I enjoy it and appreciate the art of the bricklayers. Someone’s has to keep the craft going.

Anyone with a driving licence would be looking for a better job anyway, lol 😂

love the bricklayer mentality. It's a true reminder of the power of patience, precision, and perseverance. The focus of laying one brick at a time, working methodically through a plan and embodying patient endurance, your achieving remarkable things. You're not just building a wall, your building purpose, and character.

I have to agree with everything this guy says . There are too many jumped up labourers who do a 1 week bricklaying course get a mickey mouse NVQ and think they can earn some good money , I worked with one of these so called bricklayers who was mid 50s I could see he was no good so I said "how long have you been laying bricks ?" He said "about 5 years" so I said "what made you get into bricklaying ? He said "I had a look around and thought there's some money to be made at this bricklaying game so I bought myself some tools" . Have to say the brickwork in this video is neat and tidy and that 1000 bricks a day is a myth , great video !

Hello sir, I am also a bricklayer, working in Slovenia, , in which country your company? , a bricklayer how much make money in a month?

No brickies laying 500 if u ent got a solid labourer there worth there weight in gold every good brickie has an even better labourer behind them

I do agree the quality counts and it's not a detriment. On garden walls Charlie Collison did 4000

We use the same method of calculating but instead of pricing for each individual elements such as bricks, blocks , insulation etc you just price the sqm for everything, it takes all the hassle out of it. A price for 2 skins of block A price for brick & block A price for timber frame The price may differ depending on the insulation method / overhand working etc

Hope you split the money evenly . Hod carrier as to work harder than bricklayer

Your so very right. Much respect to you. I'm 675 max on facework and that ain't consecutively.😊

Well dun Lee say it as it is young lads need to know with the skills of a bricklayer they can own a very profitable business with no outlay it's a great business it's a modern business that can grow to what ever level you want

Nice to see ya again lee👍good luck mate.take care.

Good lad Lee. traditional bull shit "god bless Winston.".. young lads watch this stuff good standard will always keep you in work

You can do a good job by living in a 4 bed detached house instead of looking to build a palace!!

Quality mate, great to meet you’s. Thanks for the advice lee, speak soon my mate 👊

It's true only because of conditions and what you mean by "brick". Where I come from we lay brick, and block. There are all kinds of different size, weights, types, type of installation, and building conditions, as well as skill levels. You can't just say "it can't be done" and that would be a true statement. If your laying standard 4X8"X2-1/4", on a shopping mall or a trailer skirt wall, a fast mason can do it by lunch time without breaking a sweat, every day. In my prime I could do that with 8" block under same conditions with rendered walls. But when you talking about houses, corbels, rakes, soldiers, and etc... or heavy weight, double jointed, 12" splitface, you're not going to do that on any day. Specify your conditions. A statement like yours is what I always used to hear I made by those who I embarrassed on the wall, but never from someone who gave me a run for my money.

Where have you been mate? Are you still running Thames valley? Edit- just seen the latest vid

Great wall🏡

Really need this pal

Good advice Lee.

I’ve always wondered about marketing but I’m always busy. I need to think of the end game and get off the trowel, I just don’t know what to do when it comes to hiring people and trusting them and I love paying to much😂

Thought other day I haven’t seen any of you vids mate hope your doing ok? I thought you must be busy with the boat

Im a construction project manager. Been in the game 42 years and a manager for 26 years doing projects up to £30m. It is very simple. Do what you say you are going to do. Don't cry every time there is an issue. Get stuck in and more importantly provide quality work. Too many times Ive had brickies onsite, that if they dont have a brick or block in one hand and a trowel in the other, they bleat that someone owes them money, when they haven't loaded out, haven't cleaned up and haven't snagged and rectified their own shit work. By far the worst trade on site to deal with, but an absolute pleasure when the right people, quality people turn up. Too many bricky companies, take on work, then send gangs , who they only spoke to the night before on the phone onsite under their name, with no idea whether these guys are any good, or what their characters are like, and these people ruin your reputation . Keep your teams small, keep them tight, drive on quality rather than quantity and I, and many main contractors and developers will keep you working all year round, as goid reliable quality brickies are like rocking horse shit, and when we find them, we keep them. Take that as it's presented or don't , but I can assure you, it is fact.

Crikey. Full of shiiite.

Glad your back chap ❤

Hi mate been long time hope your well , are u still on trowel our not anymore mate

if your so good why have you shut 10 different companies and got kicked of my site because your team and your partner were shit your telling others how to do it but fucked every business you have had dont touch him with a barge pole

Good to see you back man

Have you still got the boat lee ??

Good luck

Try workin gin the west of Ireland. Pissing rain the past 2 days and its late July...

This is so true! My wife is a chartered accountant and does tax returns for several hundred self employed people including many people in the building trades ,so we know very well what they really earn , and yes we hear over and over again about all the “moving parts “ that you mention . Trouble is so many people like to boast and exaggerate their actual earnings when talking to others .

Man get on with it, you're wasting time...

To much talking not enough laying

This happened to me last week, but if you keep chasing them it seems like your desperate aha

The myth of the thousand bricks is purely pub talk. That will go on forever especially with you tube . Good video

This is true, I've been doing site work for 20 years and the amount of times I've heard I lay 1000 a day and then you see what's being done and it's not even close, and you're right when the work gets tight these slasher bricklayers will not be on the trowel

Most hands on work is outdoors bro it’s shit but it gets to a point when it doesn’t matter anymore I’m not a full on bricky but I’ve spent most of my days landscaping, roofscaping, grounds labouring, general labouring, gardening, digging out daft live cables in the rain and ground paving. So I know how shite the weather can be when your stuck in it but you’ll always get used to it and usually it happens fast because you realise that your work keeps you warm 😂 it’s only that and a nice spliff when you get home that will help you in those rough times

Did you do the development video yet mate ?

Gold tooth soppy glasses and road man talk, fair play son

Here in Australia i worked as a labourer and the only time blokes would come close to that number is if it was all common work. We only done units though. Which most of it is common bricks not face work.. common work being not face that's being rendered so the perps and bed don't really matter so long as it's to gauge and plumb..

Very professional 🏗️🏗️🏗️🏗️🏗️🏗️🏗️🏗️🏗️🏗️🏗️

Good man.🏗️🕌🏫

I was on the hod late 70s and the 80s so this really im laughing through the 10 minutes i watched 😅😅😅😅

All baby trowels should hear this!

You’re a different breed. Real brickies don’t work in the rain, it’s a sad thing to do 😂
