Lavis Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Please could you give me your thoughts on this ‘local heroes’ handywork. Marks out of ten perhaps. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onoff Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 -20. That's shite! A bit of brick acid might make it a bit more presentable.....or some black bitumen paint to cover it all up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vijay Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 I saw a really fussy brickie using a piece of brick to rub off any bits of mortar on his laid bricks - worked a treat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Construction Channel Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Get the brick acid out and see how it looks, from what I can see now the joint to the bottom left is huge and you have a random vent in the middle. Other than that they look fairly level and straight so it might not be as bad as it looks, ( no it’s not how it should be laid but stuffy blues are a bitch at the best of times so if it was wet and a rush they may look like that before they have been cleaned up) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Punter Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 It looks a bit high compared to the step up to floor level (220mm v 100mm?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Declan52 Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Brick acid and maybe a stiff brush and see what that looks like. Was there a air vent under the door cill?? What did he joint the bricks with,the handle of his shovel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Temp Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 The vent isn't even in the middle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferdinand Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 (edited) Not good. 2 from 10 That might be a bit more once cleaned. I would perhaps have wanted the vent round the side. Has he done wider joints to avoid making it a bit wider or cutting bricks or because you ran out of bricks and he was on the last day? One for the snagging list, depending on your relationship. Brick acid, yes. Or for a cover up what about slices of - thinner - paver? F Edited June 7, 2018 by Ferdinand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brickie Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Last couple of jobs with Staff blues,I tried painting them with Linseed Oil immediately before laying. Comes up a treat,gets all over your gloves & tools though! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
