You asked the question, In some ways I think everyone should learn ( with a patient teacher) how to " master / correctly " laying a motor bed, purping bricks / blocks , laying level & plum first correctly !! Master the correct method first regardless of speed ( hows the lad going to be fast if he's new it laying) Like anything else in life practice mixed with a positive response & mentality is an unbeatable combination, speed will inevitably come. ( Trust me I've got life experience , & completed a bricklaying course I know it's not an easy skill to master )

Hi Izzy, Your videos are very professional, and may I say, that the reason your apprentice is very good is because the way you are with him, You make him very welcome, you make sure he knows you are approachable, as with anyone learning the job the apprenticces are only as good as the person educating them, I am a lecturer in healthcare and can tell you Izzy you are a first class top builder/teacher, you explain to him what you are doing, the reason why you are doing it, and giving him very positive feedback with mountains of support and education, Top builder Izzy 👍

On many sites right now in London you are required to take pictures of all the ties, dpc and insulation down to the minimal gaps and measurements, for example if the insulation of firestop isnt 5mm pressed against the brickwork you have to take it down.. its going crazy. And if you do work for Crossrail or government its even crazier.. health and safety going mad The amount of money wasted and over the budget because of health and safety on governement jobs could pay this country debt in a year, but no one tells u that

Never had a call back for damp problems. On average I build 6 extension and houses a year so nearly 200 to date. Like I said I'm not saying it's wrong because you do what you are told.
