I am a bricklayer time served ,and this is what happens now because no one is properly trained any more ,I have took on a apprentice who had been on a twelve week course and passed a nvq and believe me I don’t know what they teach them because he didn’t have a clue how to read a tape or use a level ,they need to bring back proper apprenticeships .
dI was crabbing and trapping and driving workboats when I was seven.We didn't play in the Summer. We worked and kids now will lay around and do nothing and then you put them to work at 18 and I know lots of guys will do nothing until they're about 30. I know a guy who is 53 and never had a job, but he started carving decoys and he could sit in the heat and AC and he would carve decoys from 7 am to midnight. His initials a WJF When you see those decoys that just know they were carved by a lazy obese POS. He just found something he could sit on his ass. The job he did before that he would go spray weeds for the country. He would leave the house at 9 am and be back home asleep on the couch by 1 pm. He weighed 390 pounds when he was twenty. Another guy did nothing until he got married at thirty. Neither one of them have done a day's work.The one that's never had a job poured a concrete pad for a dog pen and it looked like he smoothed it out with a tree branch. The one who got a job at thirty it took me three days to get him to fix 100 pallets and he wasn't doing anything. I told them you don't really need an employer because you can pick up aluminum cans but you need gumption.
Im a bricklayer myself and i think theres a problem with the younger masons(if youd call them that) not giving a fuck. It really irks me to go on site and my foreman and peers cant read a print or dont want to do something properly because "no one will notice and it would take to long". +-3 to 5 mm, fine, but when your joints could fit ron jeremys cock in them or can barely fit a toothpick, i think its time to look for a new calling and leave it to guys who actually pride themselves in there work.
Mark Mckale trust me I did a 2 years colly got on site private work didn't have a clue mate they don't teach you the right stuff n they teach me slow I now have to go back for a refresher 💔
And this is what happens When you don't have someone monitoring the "tradesmen" on your construction site. I would have thrown the lot of them off after seeing the poor craftsmanship that was likely evident within the first few courses. A few hints to any homeowners... 1. Educate yourself, there are plenty of good resources (in this case) on basic bricklaying. You don't have to be a master craftsman to spot poor work. Typically, if the work or worksite is sloppy, you can expect there are also serious structural problems hiding underneath. A unskilled laborer is working for a paycheck. A skilled tradesman is working for a paycheck AND is proud of the job done. 2. Before committing to a bid, ask to see some finished work (both new and old) as well as visiting an active jobsite. 3. You often get what you pay for, both in skill and materials.
The older english tradesmen like you WHO are skilled tradesmen are becoming a dying breed Chris. that was a disgraceful piece of bricklaying ,no excuse
The foreman should be checking their work every day.......it's almost brick on brick and huge joints, the bricks aren't flush with the ones below.........burglar bond.....you can climb up it.
Kaspa kasparov yes yes yes totally agree with you. Just about to pull a customers dream house to bits because of shoddy work and a decent Clark would have smashed holes in it
Omg I’ve never seen such a mash up of different bonds!! Some poor sod has got to get over that. I have to ask where is the site foreman ?? He should have slung them off within the first hour
they would have gone in the first couple of hours on my site (yes i'm a site manager), piss poor site management that has aloud it to happen, the brickies need to be told but the management needs fucking off and someone who knows what they are doing put on there
fucks sake never hurd such a fuss make over afew wide morter lines. the building proberly a complete eye sore anyway like most moden buildings are, its 50 ft up in the air. 99 percent of people who even look at it wont even notice or care. there those piss cheap nasty bricks anyway and the building will proberly be demolished with in 30 years anyway to make way for some other cheap nasty ungle eye sore of a building lol if this is all youv got to fuss about in life I should count your self lucky son
Blimey. I was a hod carrier back in the 90’s and the brickie foreman set the bond and made the trowels plumb their perps. Admittedly it was on sites in London, not field ranging. I was on 55 a shift! Laughable😅 How these men who did this got on the site is mind bending. Any new starts back in the day were watched and if they couldn’t do it were booted offsite
I had somebody come to do some pointing at the front of my house, he said he was a time served bricklayer, I got home from work and was horrified, it looked like the wall had been rendered, and to cap it all the wife had already paid him.
Generations of bricklayers, the true craftsmen that placed every brick perfectly, must be turning in their graves if this is considered acceptable work.
I'd fix that in a couple of hours and save them a fortune with a coat of decorative render or a coat of pebble dash, spatter dash or tyrolean. Job done.
I had been a brick layer in the 80's and learned from the best (bro in law). At first, I thought the project wasn't finnished, and the crew left. So many size joints, so many joints over joints, damn, if I was there I'd love to critique every modular brick in this project.
I am an apprentice of 1 year and I can tell you this. They do NOT want to teach you how to lay bricks, they have no interest in teaching. They can earn money as a ‘bricklayer’ by putting the trowel down and being paid a salary from the local government funded college. As I’m in the end of my first year I have undertaken my own pointing jobs (lime mortar) and research, read and watch videos on CZcams. Yes it’s bloody boring and miserable but I will have to keep watching until I can competently lay bricks the right way. I am a hoddy through the week on a new build and also lay bricks and blocks when I am ahead. Now - Am I right saying after the skwint there should be a queens closure? and uniform at the other end of the course?
Its awful. Don't even know where to start. The bonds at 1.19, parts where they've not started with the corners. Whoever did this has definitely had no training
The only thing that will help that is to turn it into backfill, get the sledgehammer out guys and start demolishing, this is what happens when you cut the prices, cowboys undercut you and you get what you paid for which is this crap
I could probably devote a channel to the stuff I see on a daily basis.might call it "walls of shame" any suggestions feel free to comment .scaffolding always seems to rear its ugly head .i may have some vids on that subject in the future .watch this space some hilarious footage coming soon .
Surely should of been picked up by management or bricklaying foreman!Obviously a big job with alot of detailed brickwork,the bricklaying trade will be dead in 100 years
To be honest it should have not got as far as they did , proper supervision would have stopped them on the second course, notice you have other video of poor bricklaying on your channel do you follow them about? 😉
the sad thing is there is a shortage of bricklayers so people are going on a 6 month course and coming out straight onto these sites ,i have been working on the new DNRC site and the amount of crap brickies is shocking! but i have never seen a less than quarter bond getting passed by inspectors.
Richnflow they should be improvers after 6 month course. for At least a year. but most bricklayers won't teach new bricklayer out of college. so that's what will happen bad bricklayer until someone gets killed! or a building collapses.
Not just people from abroad, I worked as my fathers labourer at weekends and school holidays until I left school at 18, he used to laugh at the new builds he saw. I was offered a course at college, complete waste of time. My father did a five year apprenticeship in the early 40's, he then did another two years apprenticeship working on the old kilns, skill and speed takes time, you cannot learn it in a year. He also learned how to jump out of a plane in 1944 when the Polish and Russians were our friends, he fought with the Poles, he said they were brave fearless men.
All the good bricklayers that are retiring are being replaced by young lads that buy a trowel and level and once they can run the line think they should be on £200 a day.It takes years for a bricklayer to achieve a high standard of work through slowly improving over time and the knowledge needed also takes time to learn through experience, I’ve seen gangs turn up on sites in the past pull up with their kit in the back of a beat up estate car all drinking red bull smoking a fag and then chucking all their rubbish out the windows and I know pretty much what the quality of their work will be like. One gang even managed to build a big four bedroom house first lift back to front with not one of them wondering why the front door was 2100mm wide and nowhere near the middle of the house. I don’t touch big site work anymore because nobody cares about doing a good job it’s all about just chucking them up as fast as possible, I’m 56 now and I build one off projects which we price up build and manage ourselves for our clients well away from all the idiots rocking up with their Costa coffee’s and coughing their guts up
The thing is subbies dont give a fuck. Throw it up and hope for the best. Ive been on the trowel for 30 + years and I can honestly say the standard of work these days is shit. Get a few eastern Europeans on the line and pay them "X" amount a day and let them run in the line, while someone with half a clue builds the tricky bits or sets up profiles and marks the gauge up. The whole being a tradesman and having PRIDE in your work is a distant memory. I wouldn't mind but Brickwork is a lot easier now than when I was an Improver. No arches ( maybe prefabricated ones , that you drop and point up) , English/Flemish bonds ( normal and garden wall varieties for example ) are a distant memory. Half the idiots I work with now are brain dead and mess up simple things like wall ties up reveals , tray damps, weeps ...fuck it, even pointing up is far to complex for some people. Guess that's why I get paid more lol. Start a new job on site.Give it till breakfast and then hit the subbie up for more money. The NVQ is a shit show compared to City And Guilds. Rant over ...Im rough as a badgers asshole !!!
Thats because the teachers either don't turn up. Change every other week or they have the history teacher cover. Its ridiculous round here. They need the same teacher who knows their weakness and can guide them.
That's shocking work looks like it's also the industry as a whole which is fueling this poor shoddy workmanship as they want cheap and fast work to make the most profits
That corner is sixth bond (virtually stack!). They allow anyone on site these days on brickwork! Personally, I'd be hesitant having these blokes doing clockwork! Most sites lack proper supervision! If you said to the majority of guys on site have you done your City and Guilds they wouldn't know what your talking about!
Jesus that's terrible.. Just by making those joints smaller it would have eliminated all of those god awful cuts what an insult to qualified bricklayers...
I gave up my bricklaying after doing three years at college not a single firm would give me time to lay on site. I laboured the whole time I was at college, started doing my own work but in the end I buggered my hip and now need a hip replacement from grafting my arse of trying to get the chance to lay. I also quit university to be a brickie what a fool I was
I’m not the best bricklayer in the world . Got a city &guilds 40 years ago self employed for the last 30 years looks like it was done with a catapult from 200 yards away
This is normal for london been seeing this for the last 10 years quarter pieces in half bond half bond converted into quarter bond losing the bond getting high to gauge 100 mill cavity walls 150 and 200 + wide 20 and 40 mill perps. .see it every where I've had starts on top class jobs been put working with these idiots and the foreman comes round after an hour and sacks everyone including me.happened to me 3 times you have to work with whoever they put you with.got to the stage in london all the old bricklayers left here know each other and we all phone each other all the time.and if you got exspencive tools they will get stolen and out the gate at break time very normal for someone's level or trowel to go missing I know someone who's boots got nicked.good in it I managed a new built school in Windsor a few years ago with another guy we used to sack these spoofs all the time they rang the office and they got sent back told us we had to have them.
The brickwork on the lift below looks good..I'd guess the gang that did the original work didn't want to do the top out and the site agent let the shit work go because it wouldn't be seen..
There must be a scaffold tube missing somewhere. They used it to joint up
I think you need one to point up the thickness of those joints. Who's in charge of quality control there ?
Fucking car tyre you mean lol.
I am a bricklayer time served ,and this is what happens now because no one is properly trained any more ,I have took on a apprentice who had been on a twelve week course and passed a nvq and believe me I don’t know what they teach them because he didn’t have a clue how to read a tape or use a level ,they need to bring back proper apprenticeships .

In a year you should be able to build a jumbo jet and skyscraper. I'ts not brain surgery. I think brain surgeons do a six-month course.
Can't understand how it gets so high before someone noticed it, do the people in charge know what there looking at👀

Even the big bad wolf could blow that away.
I’m surprised the weight of your brew didn’t buckle it!
Cant see it from my house..
You must live 5 miles away. Cause you could see that 2 miles away.
Barnettstrongman Jnes The saying goes "It will look good from my house"
Kansas Gardener depends on where you live I guess..
david jones It's something brick layers say when it looks like crap.
Kansas Gardener lol I know I am one, just laughing at different take on things, have you heard of the burglar bond.
Someone was taking bricks home for their garden by the looks of it. Christ there’s one 4 missing on each course
Usual case , nobody in the office can be arsed to keep checking on quality. Bring back the Clark of works

Absolutely, don't sack the brickies, they know no different, sack the foreman and agent, the brickies should have gone after the second course.

The new build era. Zero fucks given.
Generations of bricklayers, the true craftsmen that placed every brick perfectly, must be turning in their graves if this is considered acceptable work.
Dam the size of those joints was he drunk.. dam put it down that wall. Feel bad for the contractor..
Big Mick from Barrats would have chucked them off the Scaffold.
That's bigger joints than my Sunday lunch ....
I don’t get joints that big for Christmas dinner
I'd fix that in a couple of hours and save them a fortune with a coat of decorative render or a coat of pebble dash, spatter dash or tyrolean. Job done.

Holy macaroni. I started in vo-tech school back in 82. Still going today,
just not like that. nightmare
Must of been shorts of bricks with them 40mm perps
good luck with that one mates looks a mess,I've seen some rough work but that takes the biscuit
I'm not even a bricklayer, i just picked it up from my dad who also wasn't even a bricklayer, but he could lay bricks a lot better than that.

You want to go to speck savers mate , and after that get your head tested Moran🤡🤡🤡
That’s crazy, rather than what looks like 20mm perps, why couldn’t they just have a queen closure near the corner to get it to half bond?
The only thing that will help that is to turn it into backfill, get the sledgehammer out guys and start demolishing, this is what happens when you cut the prices, cowboys undercut you and you get what you paid for which is this crap

Thats because the teachers either don't turn up. Change every other week or they have the history teacher cover. Its ridiculous round here. They need the same teacher who knows their weakness and can guide them.
'Never seen nowt like that' You never worked on a Persimmons site, or Redrow or Barret sites?
My word. Some of those joints are 30mm!
Looks very similar to my brand new house built by nationwide builder.
no concept on how to run a bond but joint heights and straightness looks ok
For anyone wondering the perps are suppose to be about ten mill I think. Those ones was huge 😂😂
Appalling. Makes you appreciate a conscientious brickie who has high standards/integrity of work!
WTF? How does this brutal incompetence happen? I don’t get it. Is it just a lack of pride in workmanship, a lack of self respect, or something else?
Thats rough as fuck ....I dont remember building that. Must have been pissed up lol.
Keep up the good work looks brilliant
That is so bad, knocked it down and rebuild it. 😲
wonder if that was jointed with a scaff tube lol
That's shocking work looks like it's also the industry as a whole which is fueling this poor shoddy workmanship as they want cheap and fast work to make the most profits
chancers, not many good trowels left, most of the gooduns have left the trade.
That corner is sixth bond (virtually stack!). They allow anyone on site these days on brickwork! Personally, I'd be hesitant having these blokes doing clockwork! Most sites lack proper supervision! If you said to the majority of guys on site have you done your City and Guilds they wouldn't know what your talking about!
Blockwork - phone keep changing it
what about 10mm joint standard, long gone?
What foreman or site agent let it get to that height in the first place?
You should bring up the corners first, then fill in.
Aye well welcome to the wonderful world of profiles mate quicker but it's only people who can't build a corner that use them plastic brickies mate
Jesus that's terrible.. Just by making those joints smaller it would have eliminated all of those god awful cuts what an insult to qualified bricklayers...
Must have been a union job.
Thought the Polish had all gone home🧐
How’s the inspector’s eyes not on stalks after seeing this?
Jesus that's rough
I've never seen marsheltown in brail but they must do them
LMAO, those h3ad joints near the end. Fuck, if you add them up it's nearly a full brick.

This is normal for london been seeing this for the last 10 years quarter pieces in half bond half bond converted into quarter bond losing the bond getting high to gauge 100 mill cavity walls 150 and 200 + wide 20 and 40 mill perps. .see it every where I've had starts on top class jobs been put working with these idiots and the foreman comes round after an hour and sacks everyone including me.happened to me 3 times you have to work with whoever they put you with.got to the stage in london all the old bricklayers left here know each other and we all phone each other all the time.and if you got exspencive tools they will get stolen and out the gate at break time very normal for someone's level or trowel to go missing I know someone who's boots got nicked.good in it I managed a new built school in Windsor a few years ago with another guy we used to sack these spoofs all the time they rang the office and they got sent back told us we had to have them.
Same in Oz....You Tube Tradies.
this is how you do it if your a few hundred bricks short!
That's me thomb.
Jesus take the wheel,that face brick is rougher than a stunt man's kneecap 🤦🏻♂️
where was the foreman? at least we know where yosser hughes was last performing! very very poor;
Charlie the chancer ballet dancer and his gang. alot of people jumping on the bricklaying gold mine without anyproper time served skill
I would not work on top of that. Awful. It wants taking down
The brickwork on the lift below looks good..I'd guess the gang that did the original work didn't want to do the top out and the site agent let the shit work go because it wouldn't be seen..
Just to be completely crystal clear...that fucking mess is coming down
NVQ Britain. The government look good though. We have got a labourer who can’t brush up or come in on Mondays. Agency’s, now that’s another story
At least the weep holes are in 👍
Clerk of works ....... Ahhhh, those were the days.
