HOW TO: replace a brick in a wall (BROKEN BRICKS)

This is a video on how to replace a brick within a wall. This can apply for any wall, however it's important that you get the correct match. For example, the same type of brick and the same coloured cement/lime.

The time you spent cleaning off every little bit was a testament to your pride in your work Top notch job

[@BuildingwithBudd]

Thank you

[@aw9522]

Thanks for showing how to do this with simple tools, just what I needed! :)

[@BuildingwithBudd]

No problem 👍

[@mondayschild3493]

Good job, i have this lime mortar in the joints of my house i use 2 sharp sand and 2 building sand, as like your job the sand they use is more course and it will match a lot better. A lot of the grit i can see on the surface of my joints is 2mm or more, my bungalow was built in 1924, i drill lots of holes in the mortar around my bricks to help remove them.

[@marcinhibner9507]

Ohh cool manual chipping of mortar and removal of brick and showing what tools to use plus mixing mortar manually. TY👏🤩😍 music also 👍

I don’t know why I’m watching this. I’m only 9 years old lol But my dad watched this, and he fixed one of the bricks on our shed! Thanks

@Christopher Lennox thanks for your reply. I found the site through google and I'm in the hacking process now. Seems to take a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

@Christopher Lennox it worked and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy! Thank you so much you saved my ass!

BLOODY GOOD SHOW

[@zhichen2463]

Should you be undusting the bottom brick before putting the mortar on it?

[@SIRMMA]

What grain size is in that sand you use?

[@desertfox5657]

Great work geezer.

[@TM-dx7hc]

Great video, I’m often having to remove chipped bricks or move an air brick, often use a 10mm tuck pointer to work the mortar back in was just curios as to the wooden object you used to point up with and how to make one please

[@BuildingwithBudd]

It’s just a little bit of hardwood, 10 mm thick by about 50 mm wide 150 mm long, cut it to an angle of 45% on one end, you find every now and then you have to sand or plane the end flat, hope this helps, many thanks for watching 👏👏🧱

[@qadeerhussain5751]

Excellent job 👏

[@BuildingwithBudd]

Many thanks 👍

[@markbailey286]

Good to see someone taking his time to do a decent job, it's not how quickly it can be done that's important, it's making the effort to do it properly. Good result.

Great job, thanks for sharing

[@LynnMTHA]

What if, say, 12 bricks or so from a retaining wall decided to jump to their demise? Can I glue this rectangle of destruction up again or complete loss?

[@deninsrmic4165]

Great video, just have few question. To me it looks these are old Victorian/Edwardian bricks 🧱. Are they not pointed with lime and sand only? Should you be using sand and lime without cement? The reason for me asking you is I have got couple of bricks to replace in my old Edwardian house, and I haven’t got any of reclaimed bricks but some of good quality from Travis and Perkins. Can I fit them into the external wall or do I must use reclaimed ones? I would be grateful for your advise. Thanks great tutorial.

[@kaghachi]

I currently am a brick layer in studies and trust me when am saying this using cement in your mortar is the most important thing. 4:1 sand:cement👍

[@georgewaynewilcoxjr2102]

Look Around. I have found bricks under porches and buried in the backyard.I always wash my bricks with alkaline ammonia and lots of water rinse to defeat the effects of acid rain and fumic acid in soil.

[@billybob8420]

Hi pal. Was that regular building sand you've used with the lime. I thought the mix was 1.5 building sand and 1.5 Sharp sand and 1 part lime 3.5 nhl,, is that correct?.

[@BuildingwithBudd]

It was a mix, the sand was equal parts soft and sharp sand, many thanks for watching 👍👍

[@williamwilliam7100]

hi budd..In the past ive kept the existing lime from the bricks and used it again.....

[@haskey23]

If only there was a tool you could plug in with some kind of spinning blade with diamonds on that could speed the job up 😏

[@SIRMMA]

Sure, just please don´t use those watercooled blades, they add much too much water and make a mess to such old lime mortar masonry

[@biffoswilly]

The brick was a good match, but the mortar you added was finished smooth, the existing mortar wasn't so for me the colour and texture you achieved were both wrong, you should have made a 'putty mold' for the joints and matched it more closely

What mix do you use for replacing damaged bricks to get a colour match ?

It’s trial and error 👍

It’s a cut down hand saw, I just cut an old saw down with a grinder, that simple 👍

nice finish but I think a finger trowel makes life easier.

1 down, 20 to go :)

[@tingleplate7154]

You could just get an 8mm drill bit and drill out the joints!

[@georgewaynewilcoxjr2102]

I use a drywall saw.

[@peterjohnbunn1]

looks like another 4 at least to go

[@stevenot8382]

Good brick match but mortar colors miss shades of yellow more white sand and texture needs to match the other masonry mans work. Other than that good job.

[@tonyalways7174]

Lovely neat job. Well done 👍🏻

[@markgibbins4143]

All these type of videos replace a brick that has been bedded with lime mortar. I wonder why🤔

[@BuildingwithBudd]

Because you very rarely have to chop out modern bricks, and it’s a lot harder to do but we will do one at some point, thanks for watching 👍

[@anthonyflynn3837]

Just cut it out with a sthil saw this is so painful to watch

[@woodsmic]

You could have put a bit of mortar in that hole below the brick you replaced.. "Not my job mate".
