I’m a 63 year old builder myself and see a lot of crap work these days, everyone seems more interested in speed and as much money as possible and not quality workmanship, it’s so good to see 2 young lads putting so much care and passion into their work, well done to both of you you are an incredible team and do a really first class job 👍

You’re a credit to your trade… and those who raised you. Honest, truthful, reliable 👌✊👏👍

Had a much needed break from KZfaq and being on camera every day of the week. Back for a little while longer. Hope you enjoy this video's 🤜🤛 Any inquiries - Izzythebricky@hotmail.com

Pay cheap, pay twice. Tough lesson for your client. You guys did a top job. Well done.

So refreshing to see someone who takes pride in their workmanship.!! Not enough of you around unfortunately. ! I’d much rather pay someone like you a bit more to get a great job done. You are a credit to your trade, keep up the great work.

Really enjoy your films. Clean , neat & very knowledgeable 4 a young brikie. I'm a 60 year old brikie & u taught me a tip or 2. Keep up d good work

I'm a 67 year old bricklayer / builder and I'm impressed with your work pal well done nice job you turned out we used to call that type of pointing the Westminster smudge in London I thought when I first saw you a youngster I thought here we go another so called expert talking crap but I was pleasanty surprised with seeing a nice tidy job it's not easy fixing other people bodge jobs which I've been doing for decades so keep up the good work I'm sure you'll go far the only problem is the client always wants you personally not your workers lol.

Two young men who are showing huge respect for their trade and their customers. Great work 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Hello Izzy. Never seen your channel before, just stumbled across it. You two ought to be bloody proud of yourselves. That was a lot of work to put that right. Not a lot of older builders know about the benefits of using the correct materials on older buildings. So you two young lads have done the building industry proud!!

Great to see you back, Izzy, completing another fantastic job, with excellent attention to detail in the repointing. Drew did great as well. What a transformation. Great work! No wonder you and the client were chuffed with the finished work. Always appreciate your videos and good you took some time out! 👍

Congratulations Izzy, what a fantastic guy you are, so thorough in fixing so many faults made by others. Your work ethic is first class. 😁👌👌👌👌👏👏👏👏👏❤️

Pure quality tradesmen ❤ So much pride in your work and attitude

Brilliant job as always. Good to see pride in the work.👍👍

Above & beyond again guys. Well done! Good to see you back Izzy.

Great to see the dynamic duo back. Missed watching my weekly bricky. A man of standards anyone would be proud to employ. Keep with us mate.

You guys are amazing! Really puts your faith back in humanity and an industry which can be hit and miss in terms of decent professionals. You guys are to be admired and imitated. Keep doing your thing and setting the example for everyone else!

Just a quick check in Izzy ....good to see you are as committed to excellence in all you do...trust you are resting as hard as you work 👍

Well done guys for stepping in and sorting that out not enough good proper tradesmen out there today hope your client appreciated what you did for them job looked fantastic keep the videos coming.👍👍

After all the drama and bad work they've had done it must of been such a relief to have you and Drew in to rectify there home and even go the extra mile to make it look the best you could . So many tradesmen out there nowadays willing to rip people off and leave homeowners with a nightmare knowing they caused a misery and extra money needed to be spent

Great to see a job done so well and with attention to detail, and I hope the customers know how lucky they are to have found you! I have found that the small amount of extra attention to detail is always appreciated by the customers, and further work almost inevitably follows. Important too to walk the customer round and explain the defects and how you will address them - get them invested in the pride you feel at the end of the job😊

Best to take a break every now and then, got to enjoy what you’re doing or there’s no point. That being said, great to see a new video, always a good watch - thanks Izzy.

Lovely job....looks superb....note to all, if using Boiled Linseed Oil, DON'T throw your dirty oiled rags into an enclosed container such as a bin or bin bag....BLO oxidises as it dries/sets and this generates huge amounts of heat which will very quickly set fire to anything in contact with it! Lot's of terracotta tile guys have been caught out with this one....Burn, wash or leave rags to dry in the open air before disposing of them....

What a job - great to see you putting so much care into a job a lot of people would walk away from or do really badly. top job lads.

Great to see you guys back with such an outstanding looking job. It amazes me that such a relatively straightforward job can be messed up by the so called “professionals”. There’s very little pride taken in workmanship these days, all these guys want to do is finish the job any way they can as soon as possible.

Hi Izzy, It’s been a while since you have posted. Must say how much joy and enthusiasm that you bring to many of us armchair Brickies. It’s so very nice and refreshing to see someone who cares about the work they do and a keen interest in passing on the trade to those under your guidance. Not sure why you haven’t posted but hope you are well and if there are no more uploads then so be it. The content will be missed by many and wish you well in your chosen route to happiness. Kind regards Paul

Excellent workmanship!! The work ethic you guys showed was fantastic. Never let your standards drop. You are a credit to the trade and your workmanship is a credit to you.

My hat is off to you , outstanding attitude to your work resulting in excellent results. Nice one matey.

Another great job Izzy & another great video. 👍🏻❤🔥

Great work and eye for detail and knowing all the faults of the previous bricklayers

i dont normally comment much on videos but what you have done here is nothing short of a miracle. quality work lads. talk about polishing turds. top job lads

Wow! Such a great video. You’re a true gent, a great & honest tradesman. A joy to watch a real tradesman like you! 👍👍👍

Absolute credit to the industry bud! Amazing job and passion, well done!

Izzy is an artist! Superb work, taking other people's shoddy work (and going the extra mile blending in those score marks) I'm no bricky or builder but my god, I see crap raking out and repointing work all over the shop, and don't get me started on overshooting the perps...... Great work.

Impressive😁 Nice one lads. Good to see you both back. Professionals are back🫵 SHALOM 🔥

Another great video iz Always enjoy your content... Keep it up. I know the pressure of banging out vids, take some time and come back fresh

Great to see you back lad's, great work as usual

👍 good to see you back Izzy, mate you're becoming the one to watch. Keep up the good work. Should have asked for extra for repairing bricks you never raked out.

What ever happened to an honest days work, it’s nice to see someone that does it right and cares,it’s guys like you that will always do well 💪🏻

What a lovely job guys. Sometimes the work is its own reward. Top marks for the quality and the work ethic! 👏👏👏

Great your both back mate. Getting withdrawal symptoms 😂. Hope to see you back on a nice little build soon.

Literally all the stuff I get from clients. Come in and quote, they go for the £50-£100 cheaper option then end up calling me to sort it as they know I will do a good job. Glad to see that there are still some people out there with integrity. Awesome work.

Hi Izzy and co - your videos, attention to detail and professionalism are very much appreciated.

Good to see Izzy & Drew back, another great video 👍

You are the only professional that has been working on this wall by looks of it, well done!

Great to see you back great effort

Nice to see you back Izzy I have been missing the videos mate keep up the good work 👍🏽

Wow, you lads go above, and beyond, you are a real credit to the trade, and yourselves, having the patience to first bring back the job to a start position, is testament to your commitment, and sheer dedication, absolute quality of a job, well done lads, all the best

Fantastic job! So nice to see someone taking pride in their work and respecting and appreciating the beauty of brickwork. Such a pity people often abuse beautiful brick walls by drilling holes and draping cables everywhere! Nice one! 👍

You 2 are a credit to the trade. Great to see such pride in your work.

Great job and good to see you back

As a DIY'er who is semi teaching myself to rake, replace and repoint through amazing videos like this. So many tricks watching experts at work like this, so thanks Izzy! As a DIY repointer - my work is slow, but by far better finish than the first job you are fixing. But how would you (as a guy in the trade) recommend to find someone as competent locally as yourself? I'm after paying someone experienced to just 'ok' what I've done and ask a few questions before I continue around and do the rest of the house. Checkatrade? Somewhere else? Couple of brickies/builders I've spoken to don't like to help 'opposition' or are not interested in a repointing job!

Great video & even better work:). It’s nice to see some good trades for once!!!

Brilliant work Izzy ❤

Happy to see you back mate

I’m looking at getting the front of my house repointed, this is the standard I’m looking for - superb job done👏🏻👏🏻

That looks spot-on 💪🏼

Any more weekly episodes coming up? Binged the lot over the last week or 2. Great work lads, inspired by your knowledge and hard graft

Fantastic work and improvement - be proud

So nice to see a British skilled craftsman for once!! Great job guys

Good to see you and drew back mate keep up the good work, let me know next time you get pointing job be good to come up and give yous a hand

Great to see you two have pride in your work. A rare commodity lately

Never clicked on a video so quick. Good to have you back mate 👍🏻

cracking job fellas. 💯%

Another great video. Great transformation

Great job and love your work ethic

Great see someone take pride there job great video 👍

My boy is back - love to see the graft!

Well done,what a good job you've done. Nice to see someone whose dedicated to his trade.👍👍

Incredible transformation! Excellent craftsmanship. I did not know about using linseed oil.

Respect!! That work is mint.

Good to see you back Izzy 🤜🏻🤛🏻

Where the hell have you been? It’s good to see you back.

Nice to see Yalu back doing another great job, well done.

Great to see you back izzy

Aup Izzy, I don't follow on any other socials but I hope you're good and having a good start to 2024!

What a pleasure to see you show such pride in your workmanship. Like many jobs its all about the preparation. People naturally swayed by price and the job woukd have been far more straightforward had you been given it to begin with . Im new to your channel abd hooked 👍

Absolutely brilliant job and attention to the detail makes all the difference

Pride before money!! These two bring a whole new meaning to the word 'Tradesman, dedication, technique, skill and honesty, what more does one want from a builder, as for the 'cowboys' out there, time to get on your horses and ride off into the sunset!! First-class job, lads...

Nice to see someone have pride in there work well done lads

The boys are back . Hope you’re in a better place now buddy and enjoying stuff again . That sinking feeling when you realise you have under priced the job, I am too familiar with that one 😫. Beautiful job though and going that extra Mike for the customer made all the difference👌🏼🧱👍🏽

Attention to detail, brilliant.

I came across this video and thought I would leave a comment. Great to see a tradesman actually care about the work they do and care about their clients rather than rip customers off like the cowboys did that did the shoddy job of the pointing before you guys sorted it out. Well done and can I ask where you are based and areas you cover? A job well done.

I know nothing about building, but you really impressed me with your attention to detail. I wish you lived in Cornwall, I need some repointing doing lol

Absolutely fantastic job I wish I could find someone like you to repoint my bungalow in the Llanelli area 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Great transformation pal 🧱🧱🧱

Great video with lots of detail,could you explain what quantities you mix your lime in relation to sand and cement.Keep the videos coming

Good to see you back Izzy

Izzy, good work man! Fellow brick restorationist here from MT, U.S. That was a pretty rowdy cut out and repoint you had to follow up on. It's a shame there aren't enough of us with experience to cover all the jobs and so let the fly by nighter's do a shit job. That "weather edge" and the overgrinds you patched up was pretty egregious. Good job explaining appropriate mortar hardness and compatibility too. I follow up a lot of "repair" where the harder new mortar ends up being a disservice to the wall after a few years. I also learned a new trick with the linseed oil treatment.... I have a tool suggestion: Arbortech 175 brick saw has paid for itself thrice-over for those brick removals. They are about $1900 U.S.D. but are worth every penny, especiallly if you are cutting out old soft lime mortar or need to plunge cut your heads to extract a full brick. Keep up the good work, I really enjoyed the video. Thanks.

I'm not sure how this ended up in my recs, but what a great video :) It's great to see someone take so much pride in their work. And a really nice-looking result too !

Good job boys Beautiful done nice to see you again ,😀😀😀 .

Good recovery of what had been done!

Another "clear up the mess" left by others, well done Izzy and Drew, you deliver quality

Excellent job. Really tidy. Well done to you.

Thanks for the linseed oil tip, last year i used up some of the left over paving sealant to help pop some of the blues on the boundary wall to the front. Smashed the repair job, I think with the amount of cowboys out there, you are going to be busy for years to come. Most of them don't have a clue about moisture retention and simply slap on standard mortar mix

Izzy and Drew. Heroes! Good to have you back! OMG! You get what you pay for! Cowboys! And dangerous cowboys at that. The mould internally! Terrible. Using the right materials and products vital. Not least on 50s, 60s buildings. How do these guys get away with it? Oh and please!! Protective eyewear! Any acid!! 🥹🥹. Thank You Both. And you are back!! 👍👍💪💪👌👌

First rate job Izzy, your passion for your work and dedication to your craft shine through.....again. Some excellent tips too. Thankyou.

seeing your dedication to your craft, you deserve to to very very well for yourself, a top job 👏🏻 Also what a total pain in the arse though having to tidy up others poor work

A job well done lads, and this is why you will get repeat custom! There's a chap in North Manchester who does repointing. I've seen his work and I recommend him because he does an spectacular job! He even does coloured pointing, a customer had bright white and the effect was superb!

Great job lads 👍👍

Beautiful craftsmanship.
