Bricklaying - Chamber Arch Repair

[@Stucrompton1]

What do you call it? Flat Arch or Jack Arch?

[@MattBlacInc]

Hi Stu, I've just had a quick look in the construction hand book and in that book they call it a Camber Arch.

[@Stucrompton1]

I suppose it depend on which country the book is from

[@anotherbrickoutthewall9237]

What is the power tool called stu?

[@MattBlacInc]

County or Country?

[@MattBlacInc]

@@Stucrompton1 Not that far from Withnell buddy, Lancs

[@skantech]

Nice job. These flat arches were built with a slight rise - 1/8 inch per ft of span. Withnell Brick and Terra Cotta Company were based in Abbey Village nr Chorley.

[@dannylea4664]

Love how you and your dad talks things through. I did the same with my dad. It's good to have someone to bounce things off, one of you are wrong everytime or you both have valid points but the end result is you do a better job and fine solutions. Another great job stu 👍

[@pauledwards9493]

Ah, wondered where the cavity tray would go in this. Loved this one Stu, really nicely done!

[@chrishunt1042]

Iv been a chippy for 15 years mate, and iv never met any bricklayer who I would trust to repair a dropped arch like that one. That was sooo skillful mate fair fuckin play!! You made such a neat job of it - incredible.

[@stevendouglas3860]

I wish more Trademan /craftsman would be as good as You and kc. Always neat and thoughtful.

[@peterdawson5115]

Nice work again you two, looked spot on when you got it done, the black mortar looks great with those red bricks.

[@Johnny5Toy]

I can't believe after all that great work, you left that cracked brick in there!

[@vincedrumm8764]

As a city and guilds bricklayer the arch is called a chamber arch . We set them out and cut them in the seventies and built them! nice repair job !

[@Stucrompton1]

Cheers Vince I will change it

[@mikeberry304]

Very popular brick in Bolton area , mine is mainly built from them , Ashford and Simpson , solid as a rock bricks , got some in my garden stacked up , proper job by the men that can , Stu and KC

[@grahamsnape7534]

Hi Stuart great job as usual Withnell bricks were made in abbey village a small village between Chorley and Blackburn proper bricks they are very similar to Accrington brick rock hard

[@Stucrompton1]

They’re we’re solid

[@stevehenke678]

We have Micklam bricks in Cumbria which sound similar, the hardest bricks I've ever seen they're insane.

[@MrSmid888]

I’m in West Scotland just over the border.Seen a lot of black brick they call them. Absolutely rock hard. You need a powerful SDS Drill if fixing into them. They’ll still be here long after us. Think, in 100 years people can watch this video and see who worked on the property,probably before it gets flattened due to coronavirus 🤣👍🏻

[@serge.crispino418]

Nice work as usual though a couple of things - it is a real pity that arch brick # 17 broke and also cleaning those brick on the scaffolding and working from it may be stretching it's limits - also not like you guys to not over protect your work surroundings as the window directly below got a bit of a bashing from all sort of stuff......

[@lazylad9064]

Excellent work again stu👍👍. Love them red stock glazed brick solid as anything. The dream team sorted it again.😀

[@Stucrompton1]

We did our best pal

[@nigelbarrett3602]

Very nice job again Stu. Really enjoying your videos as i am recovering from knee replacement surgery am hoping to be back on the trowel in early May.👍keep up the great work👷👍

[@jamesthornber6991]

Another fantastic video stu.well done to u and KC 😁👍🏻

[@loupiscanis9449]

Thank you , Stu and KC , Jobs a gud-un !

[@Danny-ti6ip]

Stu and kc you both did a great job looks amazing

[@brandonspivey8020]

Really nice work fellas. All the best to you.

[@jackiechan8840]

Your old man needs a pay rise. He does most the bloody work! ;-)

[@jamesthornber6991]

Another fantastic video stu and KC well done to both of you 😁👍🏻

[@malcelwell7209]

Hiya stu nice to see you and KC back together again Can you tell me the name of that tool you have been using To remove the pointing please 👍

[@robjb21]

Incredible Stu, what a top top job!!

[@wackbatt4746]

Lovely work Stuart

[@eddjordan2399]

True gents lovely job. Right Off to my block work in the morning.

[@Bp98]

Долази лепо време и прилика је да применим нешто чему ме је Мр Кромптон научио.

[@garyeales1116]

Another job well done, thumbs up stu and kc

[@skiathosmobi]

another lovely job,,not easy,,well done!!

[@parvaldegalvena8775]

*Отличная работа ! Очень красиво ! Браво !*

[@SilverTrowel631]

Good job as usual. I think those bricks are a replica of what we down south call a 'Southwater'.

[@jamescoleman5195]

Another top job stu like that arch all the best

[@colinwild7482]

Nice job Stu & KC 👍👍👍👍

[@wolfhachmuth7731]

Like the way u used the line to check the angle.

[@jasonantigua6825]

I’ve been binge watching your channel mate and I must say,you’re so neat and tidy! I’m no bricklayer or builder but,I do know that making good and patching up is way more difficult than if you were starting from a fresh slate. Top marks mate,keep up the good work. All the best.

[@Stucrompton1]

Appreciate you watching pal

[@jasonantigua6825]

stu crompton No worries!

[@imfuctifino]

Surprised you've not heard of Withnell brick being a local lad , withnell is just outside of chorley heading to wards Blackburn. That factory has long long since gone

[@shifty277]

Absolute banging job this. I know in the grand scheme of things this is a small job compared to an extension or a house but I can only suggest you should have the same amount of pride doing this job to a full on extension. Cracking stuff and well done for filming all whilst doing the job itself. Well done too for putting your watermark in the middle of the video view as opposed to the perimiter as copycats just crop the video in a bit with their stealing process. Thumbs up.

[@sonnyjaxgang6675]

Keep up the good work, you have inspired me to try my own project of building a new pond for my friendly koi. Fingers crossed 🤞

[@vc2616]

Lovely job 👍

[@eddieconroy212]

Very neat job.

[@AcheForWake]

On the road to a silver play button!

[@Stucrompton1]

Yes indeed bud, nearly there

[@01ozey01]

Come on! Nearly 100k subs. Been here way before 50k been good watching you build

[@Stucrompton1]

Cmon son

[@MattBlacInc]

Another great video to add to the list. You make a great team. Respect to you and your Dad. You both graft but boy does KC get stuck in. Love the content. Do you have any footage of how you set up the vertical sting line for the arch. Would be great to see it.

[@flapjackfred]

Lovely work I used a baton screwed instead of a line Same result An Axed arch we call it down yer

[@stelianc245]

What have you done with the insulation, you did not put it back between the masonry layers, why?

[@mikemelia8998]

Good job lads. How long do u leave the wooden support up after the job has finished

[@robinhadley]

Lovely job guys 👍🏻

[@simonmay1115]

Great job guys 👍

[@neilsmart78]

Top job ! I hate building on those L shape lintels

[@stephenhall4450]

Great job Stu; was the timber 3x2 or bigger and how did you fix (assumed to hold b’wk together when bricks below removed?). Was the movement due to foundation movement or by window fitters? Keep up the great work 👍👍

[@Mr-D-Rickman]

Well done guys 👍

[@Stucrompton1]

Cheers Derek

[@fireblaster9961]

Stu the lintel man

[@rixlee4776]

Great job again lads ...withnell terracotta and co was the company name back in the 1900s ...they made brick out of Location Lancashire, England hope this helps keep up the good work

[@chutenpongen5830]

Good sir... am always enjoy your vlogs

[@bernardpower2930]

What is that tool you were using to cut the bricks out

[@dominicjohnson8427]

Bang on job that stu! Bricklaying was top class! Not being negative how come you put a damp tray in a 9 inch wall? No cavity so no need for trays as far as I’m aware

[@Stucrompton1]

There was a cavity tray before, there is a cavity on this house

[@km8773]

Great work but do you take out those bricks with drill holes out

[@743985]

Hi mate . Any chance you could do a video on cutting bricks?? Making bats etc. Also how to use corner blocks and putting your pins in ?

[@yvonfem]

Top job boys most wouldnt of took that job on as they can be a real pain but you made it look easy

[@Mobile-pd1uc]

How did you get the 2nd string line, to line up? Unless just checking of straight angle.. hard to tell.

[@zippydoodah1547]

My dad did tuck pointing have you tried it?

[@samnutt5330]

Good work stu

[@matthewullyart1252]

Very nice job, as always👍What tool is that your dad has got for raking the mortar out, not seen one of the before, makes it look effortless👍

[@abriellevilleneuve15]

I have 2 windows with chamber arches. I like the look but they've fallen apart and need replacing can I just brick it straight across or do I have to put the arch back in?

[@davidtyrrell1760]

Make sure that young man ! Is wearing his protection while using those power tools! 😂... Much love from Dublin, Ireland

[@andywoods6990]

Top job stu mate not an easy job 👍🏿

[@Stucrompton1]

Done our best but nothing’s runs perfect on a repair

[@pb9926]

Lovely job guys 👍 although I did see a cracked brick, I'll keep that to myself 🤔😁 looked a very tricky job indeed and very easy to underestimate I'm sure.

[@lmilne4859]

KC looking chuffed. Stu you look like you just want home mate in van 😆👍🏻😎

[@Stucrompton1]

Glad it’s done!

[@lmilne4859]

stu crompton Nice job mate looked nippy that 1. You’ll hoping next 1 a bit more straight forward.

[@Novapubgplay]

What’s the type of machine you use to remove the mortar joints

[@stephenmiller3994]

I saw this video this morning and found the exact same bricks on my job today taking out a gas fire in Liverpool

[@montyzumazoom1337]

Wow, what a brilliant job. Your videos are fascinating to watch, you make it all look so easy, the sign of a true craftsman of his trade👍

[@ZafarIqbal-jl8yq]

Beautiful job I wish I had learned this trade

[@georgepenrose7233]

What’s that tool called stu? That saves a lot of time? 👌🏼

[@johnrogan9420]

Tres bien...franco!

[@only1tony28]

Great job that 👍🏻 Surprised you’ve not got your own props and strongboys though 🤔

[@sparkmeister4706]

It's a shame for the broken brock in the arch, but nice.

[@kuk3411]

Would be nice to have seen raking out and strong boys used instead of the holes in the bricks, but still nice tidy job in the end. Can you do ought with the brick holes? Maybe a bit of red dyed mortar? Or put the holes in the mortar for the wood prop.. not sure if that would do the trick and hold though I suppose.

[@gilberttoronto]

why you leave space with a kind of pastic piece btw some brick, is it for draining? or something else. thank you from Toronto

[@henrywest7217]

You're the Swiss Army Knives of the brick trades.

Top job that lads ..

[@АндрійВолодимировичГнатишин]

What is the name of the power tool used to cut the seams with bricks in 1-2 minutes of the video?

[@trevorhayes1079]

Stu just a quick question have you ever dropped a trowel down a cavity

[@Stucrompton1]

No but I dropped my phone one time, I rang it the next day an took some bricks out at the bottom to retrieve it 😂

[@mattycampbell-wilde8373]

What saw do you use.

[@jaycee6607]

What's the name of the tool that kc uses to cut out the mortar. I need to get one

[@pauldolton9118]

Would love to see a video on how to use acrows / strongboys or how to use wood battening to support bricks.

[@MrCharlan1]

It’s really quite simple, when using strong boys you grind out the bed joint and the strong bow should push in

[@pauldolton9118]

@@MrCharlan1 do you need to put loads of pressure upwards to push back against the bricks, is there a guide on how many you should use per length of wall?

[@neilsmart78]

Paul Dolton no pressure really just hand tighten the acrows . One every 1m-1.5m is what I do

[@stagelesss2522]

Man when I look up to you remind me of my cousin he's a bricklayer and me and him and he's mate we filled The beds inbetween the brick the longer way that goes to right and left man it was fun had my Trowel I know I should of used a duchti but that was kinda hard but I went like a bullet train man you inspire me don't listen to the haters awwww Stu Crompton is a bad brickie WELL NO I THINK YOUR THE WORLDS BESTIE BRICKIE KEEP GOING WHAT YOU WANNA DO LOVE YOU STU CROMPTON

[@Stucrompton1]

People can have their say about me pal, they can believe what they want to believe, let them keep doing what their doing and I will keep doing what I’m doing and we will see where we’re both at in 5 years 🙃

[@miguelflores6327]

That is a awesome tool the one you use to remove the grout What is it called I have not seen the tool in the USA who’s the manufacturer

[@JohnnyMotel99]

Big Boys, in action!

[@arthurcox5888]

Where can I get one of those shoring posts

[@elliottdebell7783]

Ball ache of a job. Glad you got called and not me 😂

[@sionowen9099]

Nice video remember to cover the window the next time.Just in case👍

[@Stucrompton1]

will do sion

[@holmesjunction]

Great job! What was the insulation that came out - cavity wall 'blown in'? Was it impossible to replace with the drip trays etc?

[@twmd]

looks like blown mineral wool. there will be void there now. You might worry that work like this invalidates the 25 year guarantee on the CWI but the guarantee is worth crap all. they will try to wriggle out of it one way or another

[@markhunter3175]

Withnell is near Chorley👍😁

[@leonmcgee1592]

Where was the vertical string line going to to get the angle? Centre? Thanks 😁

[@Stucrompton1]

yeah bud

[@eggsandbread1]

lovely blown out brick face from the tex bolts

[@Stucrompton1]

Cheers

[@mick6949]

Great job Stu and KC love the videos . I'm thinking of starting making videos as I'm a builder from Scotland have you got any tips

[@davidwaynetaylor6422]

Withnell brick and terracotta company. Lancashire, England. According to Google.

[@charlesevans9681]

Whats is the grout chipper called

[@nikolaykolev5390]

What is the praying mantice joint removal tool? And why it needs a transformer? 🤔🤔🤔

[@Mistershlee]

What's that tool called that KC removed the mortar between the bricks with? Never seen one I usually use a stihl saw.

[@petercross8871]

Hi, it's an Arbour Saw

[@kuk3411]

Did you find out what made it drop?
