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 👍

It's why a lot of people turn to DIY, faith in the trades has disappeared. Doesn't help that the last decade or more there has been a lot of stigma about going into the trades from families etc.

This job is the customers fault he has gone cheap. This lad said he gave a rake out price and they didn’t want to pay it went cheap and they haven’t completely removed the mortar , didn’t grind out the arch and cut into the bricks ! Should of paid this lad to do the whole job .

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....

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!
@kickthunt42395 ай бұрын
Most tradesmen detest DIYers as a lot of them think they know what is needed to be done or how to do it properly but they don't. DIYers ALWAYS make the tradesmen's job harder by botching whatever they were doing, before calling in the professionals to put it right.
