This has to be the best upload example on CZcams as to why bricks should never be laid frog down . Credit due to you Steve, nice job ... Bricklayers say " frog up to get up, frog down to get down" well a good bricklayer keeps to gauge in my opinion... Always frog up for you fellow APRENTICES!!!
MartinDB5 . Cheers Martin I think the whole estate is done the same 😩🧱👍🏽
@Dusty 99 Never!! Always frog up British Standards Code Of Practice require all bricks to be laid frog up
Very good job Steve . The depth of the frogs in those bricks is off the charts .
Cheers , yes terrible bricks ! 🧱🧱🧱👍🏽
Another top quality job Steve, love to see people taking pride in their work.
Thanks Gary 🧱👍🏽
Excellent work, the old lintel looked like a previous homeowners DIY job. I liked the finished trim on the window.
mmmm that was a" builder "who did that 🙄🧱👍🏽
Nice tidy job.
Bad brickwork and a badly installed window great combination.
Keep up the great videos.
Yep that equals a bloody leak 🧱👍🏽
Very impressive……wouldn’t it be great if all builders had excellent work ethic and skills like this🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thanks very much, So nice of you to say that 🧱👍🏽
Work ! .. I could watch it all day .. 🤪
Oh good , we’ve got nearly 200 videos now feel free to have a binge.😆🧱👍🏽
🧱👍🏽
Absolute quality job. Being a tradesman often means doing the right thing, that lintel would have come back to haunt you and spoilt all the good work you had already done. It would most certainly have been leaking by capillary action.
Good explanation on how to support a wall
Also a lovely clean job left, hard to criticise any of your work.
From one tradesman to another its a pleasure to watch you work.
John Blackburn Thanks very much John 🧱👍🏽
Good job. Weldone. Nicely finished.
Quality as always.

Thanks very much Richard 🧱👍🏼👌🏼
Excellent work done in the repair of the house congratulations greetings from san felipe chile
vianka lobos valenzuela 👌🏼🧱👍🏽
I've do the same on my house next week. I'm putting blue soldiers across the lintels. Thanks for another great video
nick jones . Nice one good luck pal 🧱👍🏽
Now we’re talking Steve 😁 nice folded corners on the dpc 👍🏻
😉👌🏽🧱👍🏽
Great video. I had been procrastinating over taking out a lintel over the fireplace and moving it up a few bricks but seeing this gave me confidence to get on with the job (which turned out great). I still used an acro anyway but unlikely I needed it.
That’s great to hear our video helped . As for the acrow better safe than sorry 💪🏼🧱👍🏽. Happy new year 🥳
Proper job liked the use of nails to stop the lintel tilting.
richies quest Cheers 😉👍🏽🧱
Thanks for explaining about how much and where the acrow prop supports,helps me on my project.👍
No probs David , glad we could help 🧱👍🏽
Spec built housing at its finest. The reason these big firms do the old frog down is because they save a fortune in muck. As you’ve shown here, we’ll never be out of work putting the cowboys work right. By the time the homeowner finds out, the NHBC guarantee is well out of date (not that its worth the paper it’s written on). Nice to see someone with pride in their work. We’re a dying breed. 👊🤘😎
muppit666 . Absolutely! Especially the bit about the “guarantee” .
Cheers pal 🧱👍🏽
Well done mate ! Man after my own heart...pride in each brick layed
Top Cat Coolio . Cheers pal 🧱👍🏽

Zahid Rehman Cheers pal 🧱👍🏽
nice house surgery there doctor Steve :) always interesting to see how the cavity looks yes ... the bricks come down indeed in that triangle theoretically in 45 degree angle so not too bad if that’s the worst case scenario 😄
Bricklaying Jay Puyenbroeck Exactly Jay 👌🏼😷🏥😂🧱👍🏽
Good work good video you should be proud of that.
Paul Rossiter Cheers Paul 🧱👍🏼
Hi guys just a wee thing I used to do was ask the householder if they were ok if I put a soldier course in instead of the running bond my reasoning was that I could fill the top of the soldier course brick easier as you were pushing in 3” of mortar every time making it a better fix, sometimes I would put an engineering brick soldier course in as you would know guys that they are impermeable to water getting through, now this was only if I had plenty of time to do the repairs otherwise it was the same way as you did it
🧱👍🏽
aha. maybe theyre to stop it tilting before the mortar sets which will then hold it level?
Perfect, I answered that in your other comment before I saw this one 😆🧱👍🏽
love you educating videos
gary t . Cheers Gary , a bit long but we are glad you enjoyed it 🧱👍🏽
Great job mate, that's how it should have been done in the first place 👌
Marc Hanlon Cheers mark 🧱👍🏽
Lovely job that Steve. It looked like you enjoyed cracking on with it.
Thanks pal yeah I don’t mind the lintel jobs now 😁🧱👍🏽
Good man is Steve 🇬🇧👍🏻
SB Cheers pal 🧱👍🏽
Bricklaying With Steve and Alex also I’ve yet to the see water seal being sprayed on brickwork before 🤔
SB That brickworks needed it ! 🧱👍🏽
You've made a job like that look easy and enjoyable, and I know from my own experiences that they are the complete opposite. Keep up the good work mate. 😎👍
😁You’re not wrong there , thanks very much 🧱👍🏽
Nice job, need almost same doing on my gable end. How did you protect the flat roof? I’ve got a rubber roof and was wondering what’s best to way to not damage it?
LEESTAR I’d say a couple of 8x4 sheets of ply or sterling board 🧱👍🏼
Great job save for the tray extension on the RHS. Water will track down behind that section as it's just tacked to the inner leaf with a nail and not chased in like it should be. No need for the sealing of the brick work now as repointed and the cavity trays corrected.
Water will never be running down the inner leaf especially as I re pointed the wall and water sealed it . 🧱👍🏽
@@SteveAndAlexBuild Water should never run down the inner leaf assuming everything is installed correctly, which is an assumption we can never take. Water will track down the inner leaf if it ingresses at roof or eaves level, if it meets poorly installed wall ties, mortar snots or cavity wall insulation where poor pointing is present. Thats why cavity trays are chased into the inner leaf, to discharge moisture tracking down an inner leaf.
@@partywallsurveyor 🧱👍🏽
You clearly care ...
😁🧱👍🏽
Great video - very impressed by your professionalism !
Julian Lindley Thanks very much ! 🧱👍🏽
Nice job Steve 👏 👍. Glad that you just couldn't have left it- I'm exactly the same mate, we'll never be millionaires 😂😂.
Glad you're listening to Popmaster- proper tradesman 👷♂️😉. You should stop for it though, like Ken says.
Have a great weekend mate
Regards
Tim
Tim Margereson Cheers Tim . Yeah I should stop 😂🧱👍🏽
Well, we know where all the old mortar went- into the drains.
A tradesman who fixes other people's mistakes will always be busy.
Sideslip Definitely!!! 🧱👍🏽
Nice work... Can i fil up this gap with expanding foam? Są could not caming inside.
Thank you
If you mean between the lintel and window I don’t see why not 🧱👍🏽
Great video pal nice work 👍🏻🧱🧱
Rowlock Construction Cheers Pal 🧱👍🏽
👍🏻
aother good jarb if i lived near you i would come and watch.
David Mathews 😆🤣Cheers Dave 🧱👍🏼
Hi Dave and Alex, been enjoying your videos. For the work replacing the bricks above the lintel does this require building warrants? I need to replace a line of bricks above an old bay window that are sitting vertical. The lead flashing above the bay has been cut through the centre of the bricks instead of into the mortar gap. Replacement window companies saying they need a building warrant to replace but I'm not sure I believe them. I want to convert bay to flush straight across the gap window. Any advice would be appreciated
danielowens186 . I’m not sure you will need permission to change your brickwork 🧱🧱👌🏼
Not many brickies take on that kind of work Steve👍🏻
Bob Hendry I have a nice little niche going on Bob . Doing loads of these lately 🧱👍🏽
Bricklaying With Steve and Alex good little earner without breaking your back👍🏻
Bob Hendry Perfect weekend jobs Bob and Al gets the day off 🧱👍🏽
Great job, what area of the country do you guys cover, I have a suspected cavity tray issue but don't know who to contact
Thanks very much . We are in Lancashire pal 🧱👍🏽
I'm having this job done on fri. Just a quick question, below the steel lintel there seems to be a gap to the window, should this be filled with sealant?
If it’s 10 mm or less otherwise a trim is needed . 👍🏽
at 9:15 it says PACKERS STOP THE LINTEL SAGGING - but you put the packers under the lintel, so the plastic window is supporting the lintel if it sags????
No they are supporting the angle iron while the new mortar cures . Without them the weight will sag the angle iron .🧱👍🏽
What is the tool called for pushing the cement into the brick gaps?
We call it a tuck pointer 🧱👍🏽
Excellent job Steve mate , fantastic detail really enjoyed that.
I noticed you have the Mac Alistair tool bag. How do you rate it? What's your opinion of it ? Quality and functionality? I need to buy a new one as mines ripped to bits.
Looking at the Mac Alistair and Stanley tool bags. Would appreciate your opinion.
Thanks kind regards 👍💪
james swain Thanks very much James . It’s a good bag but the handle is rigid so can get in the way . I went to B And Q and they have both so you can compare them . Our old bags were great , I got them in Asda a few years back and I’ve never seen them since 🧱👍🏽
@@SteveAndAlexBuild
Thanks.
yeah I plan on going to b an q and Wickes to compare and feel in the flesh, I just wanted your opinion on what you thought. Much appreciated, look forward to the next video 👍👍🍺
james swain Good luck pal 🧱👍🏽
Steve can you put my lintel right no dpc no vents no cement only expanding foam help
😳😬🧱👍🏽
Any ideas how to prop brickwork over 5 m right up under the soffit?Its a new lintel install upper level opening is 1 m wide .
Has anyone tried brick brace method ???
Couldn’t advise without physically seeing the job I’m afraid .. sorry 😬🧱👍🏽
What’s that wooden thing for at 10:50 ? To hold the plastic ? Wouldn’t a brick just hold it ?
No pal its a hollow plastic weep vent. Its one of about 6 and they are designed to let any water out that ends up on the cavity tray 🧱👍🏽
Proper job, thats loads better
Michael Lovett Cheers Michael 🧱👍🏽
👍🏻👍🏻
craighughes craig 👌🏼🧱
A proper job
baz royle Cheers pal 🧱👍🏽
How much would a work like this be estimated at? I have a cracking lintel and and about three rows of suspicious bricks above window need repointing and possibly replaced.
Ground floor £300 ish . First floor a scaffold is needed so add £200 🧱👍🏽
@@SteveAndAlexBuild tnx
@@Dabayare . No probs thanks for watching and commenting 🧱👍🏽
won't the insulation you put in cause problems when it gets wet?
No especially having the cavity tray behind it 🧱👍🏽
How much do you normally charge to replace the steel lintel per standard size basement window?
No standard lintels, they are all different 🧱👍🏽
@@SteveAndAlexBuild, how much would you charge to replace a 48” steel lintel?
@@alizin2011 you need a local builder to have a proper look for a quote .🧱👍🏽
Nice work bit of pop master on as well i like it
Kyle Hayne 😉🧱👍🏽
Nice work Steve, what’s the price for this job?
I have two windows upstairs needing lintels.
Don’t suppose you serve Leeds?
Sorry pal we are in Lancashire .
For a proper job you are looking at £4 to £500 per window plus the cost of the scaffold. 🧱👍🏽
@@SteveAndAlexBuild ahh no probs! Thanks for the estimate - really helpful
@@tommyfreshcook . No probs , good luck with the lintels 🧱👍🏽
Always frog upwards??
Paul Perrin Definitely! 🧱👍🏽
great tidy job m8 but i do disagree about the plastic drip mould on top of window if fit correctly there fine that was totally bad all round if lintel had been fit right n then the plastic just sealed upto the lintel no probs anyways stay safe m8
mick broadbent Cheers Mick 🧱👍🏽
I know nothing about this trade. I watch because I like expertise in any of its forms. But even I know this. How could any brickie build a whole house frog down? I'm gobsmacked.
. I think the whole estate was done the same having worked on a few on there 😳😩👍🏽🧱
Does that lintel look a bit on the thin side?I’ve never seen one that thin
Same as every other lintel pal 🧱👍🏽
@@SteveAndAlexBuild thanks for the reply Steve. I just thought the wider the opening the thicker the flanges are. That one looked like it was about 5mm thick. Most here in Australia are around 8/10mm. Just curious that’s all. Cheers
@@gorgen23 . No probs buddy . Thanks for watching and commenting 🤙🏾🧱👍🏽
Infested with brick worn hell of a problem up north apparently and by the look of that they must be holding hands or that would have been down months ago 🤣

Frogs down was the way bricking teams saved lots of money on mortar...!!...
Stu N Your not kidding 😳🧱👍🏽
Gobo gun or old school pointing?🧱⚒
Andrew Marshall Old school me pal , can’t be bothered with the gun 🧱👍🏽
I was the same as you until my brother showed me the gun method, it’s good on brick replacements too.
Add some feb to your mix and mix it to the point you just couldn’t lay with it then the mix is perfect.
Andrew Marshall 🧱👍🏽
i wish you would speak just a bit louder, i would love to know what your saying without having to wear headphones on full volume. i adore watching your vids but id really be delighted if i could hear you as well. please and thank you
