[@Peacebro121]

Good to see him come back and rectify his work not many builder out there that would do that hat off to u sir 👍🏻

[@abdulrahiman812]

Top lad, going back to change the bricks. I can’t get my builder to come back and finish the job he started! Thanks Stu

[@liambrown5375]

Fair play for spotting your mistake and sorting it out. Theres not many out there like you stu

[@vc2616]

Stu takes pride in his work real pro !!! 🙏

[@keithjackman1]

Hi Stu great video , Please keep them coming . I,am a plumber / heating engineer and your tips helps when repairing brick and block work, when I take a boiler out leaving the old flue hole , So thanks .

[@CEO786]

Mate a wonderful job as always. Never thought I could take comfort from seeing your great work. Good stuff!

[@chrisblurton9722]

Great vids Stu! I’m a landscape gardener but finding you’re videos very interesting and professional. Keep up the good work 👍🏻

[@danosman7329]

Massive thank you for this video, I'm attempting to do a similar thing in my garden and it's given me real insight into the process

[@trustmetours57]

Stu makes it look so simple, if only it worked like that for me.

[@Nebben2]

Lovely stu even something simple like this you still manage to make the finished thing look amazing

[@Nebben2]

Also stu , I’ve got a recommendation for a songs in your videos I think it would be good it’s called blue and evil by joe bonamassa

[@ChristinaJeskey]

Watched this with my just-turned-five-year-old son last night. When it went to fast speed when you were laying the bricks, he got mad and said "Too bad it was all sped up" so I promised him I'd ask whether there are videos of the whole freaking job. :D My son would watch hours of Stu Crompton if I would let him!

[@Stucrompton1]

Yes Christina there is a paid video course on my website www.bestbricky.com no speeded up footage and full commentary 😁

[@onyedikaobiagwu7277]

Nice job, I really NEED to learn how to use this bricks to build a complete house and how the plumbing and electrical works can be done. Thanks Please I really NEED to learn so much from you.

[@darrencarson7029]

TBH I did clock the different bricks you laid but didn't think it would be a problem as they were in the return and wouldn't be seen?

[@mervyndavies2250]

Tidy job Stu,, allways nice to see a job come together in the end.

[@Tchato89]

Love the music. Awesome video mate.

[@karlr50]

Great job Stu 👍

[@jakebest150]

Great job as always fella

[@rulin8869]

Great vids... how do i get dry cement off my Indian stone.. thanks in advance

[@IAINoodle]

What's the mix for the bed of the flags and for the pointing? Also was it necessary to prime them?

[@pb4012]

Do steps need to be 150mm below the DPC like other paving/patios?

[@happyxda]

Hey buddy - nice job that one. I am about to do the same in front of french doors. I already have a lock block area and patio slab area where this will be built. Will follow your advice to put the mortar on and build the brick base. there is a little area where there is no lockblock/paving slabs, but a garden area which I have to dig out in order to make the step in front of door. How do I go on that area? Shall I compact the aread firmly first and then lay the base mortar? or I have to replace the area with hardcore base?

[@unicron2109]

That tune at 4:21 is a dead ringer for Losing My Religion... P.S Great video as always

[@alilovell9941]

Would you use the same technique for building a raised patio? I want to build a couple of course high wall, build up the inside and then lay the slabs on top. Also would I need a double skin of bricks? Great videos by the way....really helpful 👍🏻

[@mozer30]

I’m thinking of doing this for my French doors, but as rising damp is a huge issue in my house, would it be beneficial to fit a dpc/dpm to prevent bridging the house dpc?

[@tomodonoghue3309]

surprised he didn't do it here, I would 100% use dpm to protect the wall, and a half a bubble gradient on the slabs

[@alanreid3696]

This video is fantastic... What sand cement ratio would u recommend for doing this job? Thanks.. Or would you recommend a pre mixed mortar bag, thanks

[@shuvadey4294]

Great work and love watching you at work. I notice there was a pipe running in to the brick work and was wondering how you tackled that with the flagstone. Did you make a cut for the pipe? Also wonder how any future maintenance to the pipe will be a challenge, perhaps why the step was only one course high.

[@welshbrickie]

pride in your job ,love it

[@markodjukic7666]

Nice job. Nice soundtrack.

[@lewislaing1]

Wheres the best palace to get the weep holes from ?

[@flowergrowersmith449]

[@Stucrompton1]

Email me pal, address is in description 👍 united👍

[@dee106ful]

Stu when building a step up does it matter if you bridge the damp course.

[@fortylove68]

Love those rain buckets bro!

[@Mike-ot6lb]

Hi Stu, great video. I'm doing exactly this job. How long do you let the bricks and mortar set before laying the flags on top? Cheers

[@ericrogers9898]

Nice one mate ! Perth Western Australia 🇦🇺

[@tebo23]

Do you have to fill it in under the slabs?

[@JGprojects]

Nice tidy job as always Stu!

[@Stucrompton1]

Thanks buddy

[@susanclingenpeel3338]

love your work !

[@cappaslangmurderer]

Absolutely great video mate thank you, please ditch the background music you have good insights and nice personality

[@davidporterrealestate]

how much would you charge for a job like that?

[@AB-ht4dc]

Great vid - thanks for that! Do you have any advice when there is an air brick under the doorway which would be blocked in this scenario? Also, when it is a concrete base underneath which you would need to build the step onto? Cheers!

[@supercrazyplum]

Remove said air brick and incorporate it into the brickwork step and then connect a piece of pipe something like a rainwater downpipe over a air ducting pipe to the renewed air brick and poke it through the hole left when you removed the air brick

[@rustykneecaps1058]

Coincidentally I'm doing the exact same on Monday! Very neat 👍

[@luisalvarez-x6n]

exelent work

Great work

[@carlgray3265]

Hi stu lad what's building control for risers/tread etc, so much conflicting info out there. Cheers keep the good work up 👍

[@lmilne4859]

That’s borderline to high. 175mm max height for risers. May have squeeze 2 steps out the pos. always like to have the slab up just 10mm from under the plastic cill on door. Am a believer of coming out to similar level of inside. Normally patio doors 900mm. Top platt. But regs vary

[@mikeearls126]

can you put up a playlist or maybe some of the artists?

[@Sqwotz]

Stu if it was build on a solid concrete base - would you still need weep vents? Cheers

[@TheMartinMcintosh]

Good job 👍

[@karlbutton4035]

Tidy job stu👍

[@Stucrompton1]

cheers Karl mate have a nice weekend bud

Beautiful!

[@thelightofficial666]

Always like to see flags on a full bed personally

[@1sgud]

Cracking work as always stu. I'm trying to do the same ( I'm complete novice). I've been told not to touch the wall on the house because of the damp proof course. Apparently don't build above six inches below the dam proof course. 🤯. What are your thoughts? So much info to take in

[@asafeplacepodcast2690]

Nice work and what's the first song called realky nice 👍

[@Jonny-ez3dh]

how does it hurt by martin hall

[@asafeplacepodcast2690]

@@Jonny-ez3dh thankyou mate

[@fuzmaginty5822]

nice job👍

[@beckweth]

I saw nothing wrong with the bricks at the right end. There is always variation, and those are in keeping with that. Sometimes people can pick anything apart.

[@arnoldasliaugaudas4213]

Whats the song name?

[@andytaylor9032]

Nice job stu but still don't look centred to door frame

[@ratchriat1716]

top work

[@ELLENFISHER2008]

Kiln dried sand swept in-between the block pavers instead of debris...would be best.

[@Stucrompton1]

it was dried cement, so that was fine. thanks for watching

[@rammie9731]

Y weep holes don’t need them in there no tray for a start 😂😂

[@liamkelly5247]

Hi stu how you doing and keep up the good work mate 🙂

[@Stucrompton1]

all good Liam buddy

[@liamkelly5247]

That’s good to hear how about kc

[@darrencarson7029]

Sorry my mistake lol I watched it back and saw the rogue faces haha I was going by the tops of the bricks 👍🏻

[@williemitchell9943]

GREAT JOBS I WISH I COULD DO THAT!!!!!!

[@MrRadtech22]

Nice!

[@hansng4560]

Think the lower step is too high. To my eyes, it will be equal height as upper step if it was recessed by half-a-brick into the ground.

[@fireblaster9961]

Solid

[@angelroman8797]

Love the video but not a good music choice.

[@supermankelly]

They will probably paint the brick anyway Iike the house.

[@krashdown102]

Shoddy job mate shoddy job Only kidding haha

[@dotjoseph]

They didn't want to move that electrical conduit? That would bug me every time I walk in the door 😄
