Nice job lads ,lovely to see a father and son working together as a team .😄😄👍👍

It is great that there are still craftsmen who "do our best". Another lucky customer.

It's one thing to do everything new but another to fix someone else mess up. Takes years of experience to do it right. Great job.

Watching you work while standing atop a box atop a hop-up atop a scaffold gives me the hebbie-jebbies!

That's quality work and a job done right. Anyone can lay bricks on a new build but that's understanding and repairing decaying older buildings - wish there were more like you!

Excellent job, nice to hear you not overly criticising other men’s work before you, one never knows what others may have had, like today we have better building practices and more modern materials, great informative video !

A dad and son to be proud of. Forensic work ethic. Excellent.,

It’s so good to watch you put right an old bit of brick work back to a very good looking brick work. Thanks for sharing

Steve and Alex are super skilled craftsmen.

Its good to see that there are tradesmen who still do things properly. Thats a good job well done.

Lovely to see a real professional do the job properly rather then just patch it up. Sending support and respect from Australia!

What a neat job guys, you definitely made a silk purse out of a pigs ear on this job. Take care & stay safe Gentleman 👍🇬🇧🍀

Know the feeling. Every tool in the van out 😂😂

Hurrah....The Lintel -Lifting - Lads of Lancashire," are back.....yessssssss.

Educational. Love your honesty.

Very tidy job guys. Another example of the power of rust (4 ton per square inch).

Lovely neat repair you two. First class. Some great shots of the power of rust jacking. It simply has to expand and destroys all in its path. Water is the same. When it freezes it expands by 10 % and will burst a pipe like a knife through butter. 👍👍👍

Another fine job, guys ❤ it .

Great job guys.

Great job, your work ethic and doing a proper job is something most consumers wish all builders possessed. Wish you had done a close up of the finished job. But i appreciate it was a long day. 😊.

Just heard back from my survey the house Im lookng at needs a lintle done at the front door, great video explaining the process.

And well done Alex for all the grunt work good hard worker ( and looking after Dad) you are a good son.👍❤️

Good repairs . Perfect. Professional.And The Mortar infill Perfect. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😇

Proper quality job, done right as you fellas always do.

Very interesting and great job!

Nice repair work, looks as good as it could without completely replacing it all

Another cracking job and looks great!

Fantastic job well done chaps

Mare of a job you done well as always 👍

Good repair, great workmanship. H&S !

So enjoy watching Professional Trades at work. My first video and have subscribed in order to see more of your videos. Great result and I’m sure the client was both happy with your work and relieved to know the house was safe. 10/10 from me Regards Stewart in West Yorkshire. 👍👍👏👏😀😀

Great to see your great masonry repairs and the strategies and tricks used. I have learned a lot repairing and renovating old wooden bungalows here in sub-tropical Queensland but zero experience of masonry beyond brick veneer which is non load bearing (brick-venerial as it is sometimes mocked). Fascinating.

Another good job done.....👍

Great job

Excellent job fellas!

Great video as usual the both of you. Really enjoyable to watch and I learned a lot. I've got to put a lintel in over the back door and the kitchen window on my 1964 bungalow soon, this video has helped. Take care up the scaffold with that hip Steve. I hope you get it done soon. 👍👍

Better than new! Awesome job

great jobs lads well done love the videos proper work

Good job again lads 👍

Heroic Fellas. What a super job done in a day. I realise I have not commented lately but watch everything you do and admire it all. Best Regards, Bob (Weston super Mare)

As always top work

great job guys 🔥

Nice work, great tunes

Another top job lads you always give it youre best well done

Brilliant work as always!! Hope all is well, take care

Cracking job 😊

Who needs handrails 😂😂top job lads

Good job lads.

Original lintel was all wrong wasn't it .I think the job you've done on that is the best job and you did it perfectly. That scaffolding gave me heart failure though 😂😂 good job lads 👍

Well earned cuppa at the end, of what could have an awkward job.. Well done,l bet the owners were pleased..

well done

Great job lads! I’ve had lintel leak for a while except the water comes across the cavity 👀. Few bodgers tried to repair but this vid shown me what’s wrong 👍🏻

Amazing job! As a man also needing a new hip I am blown away with how you manage to do the things that you do Steve, it's inspirational. I wish you were located in my area I would hire you to do all my work.

Nice job

Certainly a 100% improvement there lads, good job, well done....Saludos desde España mi amigos.

👍👏 good job. Good thing there was a good breeze and hope it was blowing the right way. Being that close to a sewer vent standpipe could be a stinky situation 🦨🦨🫢. Cheers

I can’t believe you’re working at that height without proper and safe scaffolding…I think if HSE see this video, you could end up in court…!!

nice one lads.

Well done looking good now

Well done lads, you would never know how "out" those levels were...brilliantly hidden.....

Bang on that job mate ! Nice to see an apprentice happy with his job too ! Well done to professional workmanship!

To all you so called professionals out there, that’s a professional job. Well done to you two , guaranteed repeat business 👏👏

Brilliant job you made of that 👍👍lads just sayin from north of Newcastle

Great job lads. Client will be real happy. Easy to see why lintels are galvanised now. Regards, Dave

Cracking Job Steve and Alex, I wish you would come to Nottingham plenty of work for you here 😊

New subscriber, Excellent workmanship, Keep up the good work🎉

This Architect approves !

Great job, guys.

Another great video…………..

Tough one but good job lads

Well done, looks much better.

Well that was a real mess, looks to me as one of the worst lintles yet. Made an excellent repair job given the circumstances, great work.👍😏

Those cavities are bone dry, not much chance of damp getting in there and causing issues lower down the wall......! Obviously damp had penetrated far enough in to set off the decay process on the steel angle. It was good to see the concrete lintel on the internal skin. Good comment on the new cavity trays - I`m not a fan.....but they have a job to do. I remember putting steel angles & flats in above openings - but in my defence we always gave them 2 coats of metal paint prior to installation.....and it was the standard practice at that time. That being said that angle iron is what.......68 years old, so its reached the end of its working life. Every component we put into a house when we build it starts deteriorating from the moment it is built. The air brick wasn't lined inside the cavity was it.? It was not a standard detail then. And cavities were viewed differently in those times....2 inch cavity, no insulation, unvented and the two skins of the cavity wall probably tied together with galvanised fish-tailed ties (bastard things) All different today of course. Right I`m waffling again so it just remains for me to say, estimable and sterling work chaps......A job very well done. 10 from me. 👍👍👍👍 📙☑☑☑😁😁

Nice eork as usual Steve/Alex, but please get a proper scaffold next time...ive done plenty of jobs like that back in the day , but always use a proper scaffold now. Take care 👍

I'll wager that generation of houses used the double Y type of wall tie, notoriuos for corrosion and failure,

The old mild steel lintels. Oxidation process annihilates the masonry.

Guys, where's the safety railings? That's a x4 meter drop behind you

Great Job as usual, What really concerns me that with your bad hip that you worked on a dodgy scaffold , NO HANDRAILS and your working on the edge of the boards

The power of corroding steel, expansion is amazing, it can lift many tonnes of masonry, it was common practice during the 1950’s/ 60’s to use angle iron as lintels, this is a time before off the shelf fabricated lintels, the old angle iron lintels were at best painted with red lead or worst no protection at all, if they had used hot dipped galvanised steel the problems would have not arisen

A great job there lads apart from the Collin Crompton microphones well done

💥👍

Trabajo de profesionales 👌

You done a really. Nice job that looks very dangerous your dad. Doing I wish you were down in Essex

Sure looked a lot better than it did 👍

Nice one fellas. Loving the scaffold, looks like one of my jobs! How's its done in the real world without all the nonsense!

That was one hell of a blown lintel. Great job, Steve and Alex.

Great job, well done! But while you're at it - why not clean the ventilation grid?

2nd feb was my 60th birthday and I was still out on the tools 😊

they probably were dodging bullets when they built those houses which accounts for the bad workmanship good on you for putting it right ,thanks for the video

Jobs a good 'un. Mixer was overkill though, i'll bet you didn't use much more than 2 buckets of compo, mix by hand for that amount and no mixer to clean at the end of the day and less wastage.

Look how strong the mortar is that the house has been repointed in lol

I can see how this can be a problem with Brick buildings when the pointing goes, you get water Ingress and interior and structural damage. the black pipe running up the side of the building, is that what you call a stink pipe? I am an American, and have a strong interest in all that is Britain , and have done some research on things there. for instance I have learned your Electrics: mains voltage, cycles, your Color Code, about consumer units , breakers, switches, power outlets, ceiling roses, Ring circuits ETC. now doing research on your plumbing. as in the past when I was much younger I did home Maint here. and was curious as to how things differ there.and that is what started me on this curiosity quest 😀

god job what recip blade do u use for grinding beds out?

Defo need (even a cheap) wind proof microphone. Very interesting video. New subscriber. Greetings from Prague

Good technical work but very poor health and safety, falling from heights is very common, check the HSE data! You should have used a proper pole and clip scaffold with a handrails and proper ladder access. This is even more important when you are loading the scaffold. Customers need to understand the cost implications of working safely. One slip or trip on the scaffold boards and at best a change of life at worst the undertakers. You need to look after yourselves!

Steve or Alex, I bloody hate that soldier course with the bricks swung 90° ! is that usual around there ?

Nice work chaps , what’s the situation with the plastic trim how’s it held in place ?? Is it L shaped to cover the bottom of the lintel ? Good end to a bad job 👍

Great job righting a 70 year old wrong , looks really good. I tell you what else would've looked good, having sides & a rail to the back of you & not working off of three boards. Working at height your safety is paramount, please take time to protect yourself, so what if it takes another ten minutes to put some sides & a board up, your life is worth it..... Sorry to be that health & safety bloke but there you are.... Great result & I'm looking forward to the next one 😀

Great job, why are there some many wood lice?
