- A short video showing brick slips being installed and pointed, the process was filmed in a time lapse style to show the brick slips being stuck to the wall and the sand and cement pointing put between the brickwork joints
Lovely bit of work. Very neat
Looks like 400 stretchers in that? 20 courses with 20 full bricks ? As a brickie you'd lay and joint that many in a shift so this looks a slower option, if it took day and a half. What was the reason for choosing slips?
The block wall was already built by previous builders, customer didn’t want to render it so this was the best option 😃
My house has been k rended looked amazing but now it’s coming up to 4 years old it’s not looking the best shows water/damp marks around the windows and doesn’t seemed to go all winter😢 wish someone told me this before hand but when reading forums every says the same so am looking into a nice slip brick colour and was thinking can they be done over the k rend or does it all have to be smashed out? An are they expensive to buy plus install? Thanks
Yea that’s the problem with k-rend, it’s so coarse that the dirt/algae holds in it and doesn’t come off easily.
You could stick brick slips to it if you were sure it’s held on well but they’ll only be as stuck as the k-rend is. You’d have to have some sort of primer coat too. But always ask the manufacturer for advice on this sort of thing. Don’t think it will be cheap to do though. You could just do some details around the windows with brick slips if that’s the only place it gets dirty
@@SamDaviesBuilder Thanks for your reply mate much appreciated, will weigh it up with price and stuff and see were I go. Keep up the good content 👍🏻
@@mugz_1437 cheers and all the best with your project
Great work lads respect happy Christmas for yesterday hope u had amazing Christmas never give up on your dreams everyone mate happy Christmas everyone
Cheers Ryan, same to you and a happy new year!
@@SamDaviesBuilder you're so welcome mate happy new year :)
Excellent work boys!
Hi there, what’s the blue band you are using to joint the brick courses? Would like to try something like that instead of 10mm wood… great job 👌
It’s 10mm rope! Worked quite well, I saw another builder use it so thought I’d give it a try. Just make sure you put some pencil lines in on the wall every few courses as you can loose your level/gauge a bit
What mix did you use to apply them to the wall .also nice job 👍
Thanks! I used a tile adhesive suitable for exterior use
How long in time did that take?
Day and a half including pointing I think
Mate I've been offered contract for 891sqm of brickslips labourer only
I don't want to shoot myself in the foot
What's average per sqm labour only not supplying materials?
I really appreciate
Thanks in advance
@@gjsbrickworklimited9736 nice lot of work that! I’m afraid I can’t help you with m2 price as I haven’t done enough of it, the jobs I’ve done with it were just on day rate
@@SamDaviesBuilder
Would you say £58 sqm is viable ?
@@gjsbrickworklimited9736 I honestly wouldn't be able to give advice on that, the jobs I've done with the slips have been so different I couldn't even come to a figure of how many m2 I could get done in a day. Sorry I can't help more!
What mortar did you use to fill the joints? I’ve been doing myn today and even when I make it too runny it doesn’t come out.
I just used 4:1 sand and cement with plasticiser mixed in a mixer. You can buy mortar in a bag for brick slip pointing but I’ve not used it before. What mix are you using and are you using plasticiser?
@@SamDaviesBuilder I used Bostik Cementone general purpose mortar but was no good. I’m not mate no, used to be a tiler back in the day so wall looks cracking. Just need to get right mortar so it flows through bag/pump
@@stephen7865 I’d try adding a small amount of plasticiser and mix it well. If you don’t have plasticiser you can use a drop of washing up liquid (not recommended but will serve a purpose). Let me know how you get on!
@@SamDaviesBuilder Yeah will do though I was just gonna order the right stuff tbh mate. Any particular brands, or on Amazon even better 😂 Cheer man
@@stephen7865 Everbuild Opti-mix Super Concentrated Mortar Plasticiser, 1 Litre amzn.eu/d/1MfZONZ this stuff is good just watch you don’t put too much in as it’s concentrated. Hope something like that will do the trick for you with the mix. There’s ‘how to install brick slips’ on my page which shows me pointing them towards the end of it.
