Tidy job mate,nice to see that there are still some builders that take pride in their work.

Nice to see a professional at work & taking pride in doing a good job.

Wow you did a really good job. My back hurts just watching you.

I already fixed my front steps but then I still keep watching these videos. Having said that, nice job 😎👊

You did a great job. Definitely did the repair as it should be done. It seems like a fairly simple job to most ? At least in this video people can see the effort it takes to do a Good job.

Nicely done. Good to see blue collar guys taking pride in their work and not taking short cuts.

Nice job and it was a lot of work, thanks for sharing your thoughts and great ideas

I enjoyed this, I clean driveways every day and learned a lot with this vid. Thanks

Perfect Video. No one talking your ear off and its too the point.

Great job lads, not as straightforward as you’d think. Good to see the other lad cleaning the blocks as first fella lay them, good team work

Its good to see a job done right, well done

Great job and clear for everyone….now I know what to do with my sinking pavement 😅 Thank you.

Good video and block laying, very professional.

Nice. Finishing a job like that is good for your soul.

Yes that’s what separates the quality jobs from the rubbish. You get what you pay for I guess...

Remembering where to lay those bricks back would be my ultimate concern 😂 great job fella

This is why I only use 5/8 - 3/4 inch fractured rock and 1/2" sand bedding under pavers. 20 years and not one issue with sunken pavers. Base material more expensive, but savings in base installation labor more than makes up for it. Most of my work is in North Dakota and Minnesota so frost heave a very problem, hence the rock. Not as critical in southern regions of the country, but the labor savings still the same.

Amazing job. Thanks for sharing

Great job and well made video!

Very nice job!! I have a question, but not a critical one. Would it help if the first 2 courses next to the house were layed slightly higher than the other courses, to help with water run-off?

Hmm, easyer sead than done. This guy knows what he is doing though...👍

Shocking what builders get away with 😧good job on putting it right 👍

All of the finer material will settle into the big gaps (air spaces) between the hardcore block pieces. Also a plate compactor should be used not a hand tamp. This will basically sink again.

Good video, you should do more like this its worked well for you

Great video and tips.

I lived in Germany for 14 years stationed in the military. It was amazing watching them work with cobblestones and stone blocks. They could tear up an entire road, install new lines of some kind, and put everything back into place with no waste. I hated to run on them and cobbles can be bad on a motorcycle but they are beautiful and 100% reusable.

I am knackered just watching this.

Thanx bruh, you made that look do-able

Hi, nice video. A question Plzz. We just moved in to a new house. Concrete Slabs installed in the driveway. 30% are wobbly or not inline. What to do? 2x2 feet slabs installed,, numbers 33x17 slabs. It has hardcore underneath. Should I just get it repaired or do the bricks as shown in video. Which option is more suitable and importantly cheaper. Thanks

Great job!

No wonder us builders suffer from bad backs good job mate

If you don’t connect the trench to a house drain which leads to weeping tiles, you will eventually have leakage into the house. The trench will collect a pool of water which has no place to go and will eventually leak into the basement. The limestone screening will slowly find its way into the voids between the broken bricks and it will loss material leading to sinking the interlocking bricks. A geo fabric between the two materials will prevent this from happening. My two cents.

Peter Chan this type of home has no basement and the job was done as per the clients wishes, if the client had agreed to a weeping drain then it would have been installed, when I quoted jobs I gave 3 options 1) The Right Way..2) The Wrong Way..3) The Cheap Way..and more often then not they chose option 3

That was my concern as well. Here in Uganda all the buildings have creeping damp problems so I was interested to see how it was handled in the UK.

@sinista.productions

Most houses in the UK have no basement and damp is avoided by having a damp course a few courses up the brickwork from ground level which is a membrane layer between the two courses in the mortar line. Air bricks are also used to allow air circulation within the buildings cavity to avoid damp.

Good job . Got to root of problem.

Great work and fix. I am bit skeptical about the first layer of bricks you put. They have to be crushed and compacted really well before puting gravel and sand. If they are not, in time you will start to get small pockets of air and possibly another sinking. But since it's been 5 years already from the fix, perhaps you can telll us if I'm wrong.

Backbreaking work fellas

I must admit I didn't watch the video all the way through the first time.. and can see that you did do a very good job on it .

Do you have a video on how to lay these bricks?

Lawrence Spencer If it’s getting to the end of its tether and you have the money, remove the lot. Block paving is old hat now, too much maintenance, nothing but an ants nest. Resin is the dogs dangly bits, or concrete print.

I'll only assume that the rest of the pavers will go the same way as whoever laid the pavers originally would have done the same rubbish job elsewhere. Guessing it's in London with that clay?

The compact technique is for short term, for a long term, need to use compactor or (my country 🇲🇾 we call) whacker machine, then can promise a long lasting result
