Andy did you use lime when repointing the bay if so what type of and where do you get the brick colour wash
@bricklayersworldwithandy6277Күн бұрын
Lafarge NHL 3.5 from Chalkdown Lime and the colour wash is from Steadfast.I don't know how the prices compare with other companies as I've only used these for many years, NHL Limes differ immensely with the amount of pure lime content, Lafarge and St Astier being the best I wouldn't use any other.

Andy what does the brick wash consist of is it just red dye and water
@bricklayersworldwithandy6277Күн бұрын
Yes but there is a binder in it, I think it's sodium triphosphate but you would have to check as I might be wrong with the spelling.

Hi there Andy, I've been asked to price a extension 4m x 7m just a box with about 1800 face bricks and about 300 celcons as I only normally work day work im not used to pricing work Google prices are very varied any idea how much this should be for labour only. Many thanks.
@bricklayersworldwithandy6277Күн бұрын
They are all different Graham, you might have to bring all the materials around the back, maybe some of it is overhand, setting up trestles etc, you just have to work out how long its going to take and charge acordingly.

Hey Andy....you've probably heard or read about, most of the remedies for Arthritis. I bet a pint down the Pub tops the options!! LOL But for what it's worth, try Apple Cider Vinegar or Honeygar. Doesn't taste to flash but you'll never look back. Worth a try anyway...

We brought a 1930s detached house years ago and to my horror after l took off the blown plaster inside the bay window, there was nothing in between the bricks! I managed to bodge it up.l went up in the loft and the mortar was disintegrating in between the bricks up there! You think the dozy surveyor would have picked it up? Managed to sell it as the new owner was too tight to have a proper survey. Have a great time in Australia, l'm a similar age to you Andy and my knees are playing up, poor old gits!
