Didn't know bricks could be repaired this way, this is awesome!

A perfect demonstration of quality brick restoration. Good work!

I've just come from U-Can brick repair video. Night and day. Great info and demonstration. That's a proper job.

I'm a PCC/Bricklayer apprentice and I thought this was pretty cool. Nice work. Excellent display.

I’d wager it’s not just the bricks that are slightly proud ;) Being massively chuffed with such nice work would be expected. Wonderful display.

Great video. 😊
Thank you for this amazing video! I learned a lot from your clear and detailed instructions on how to repair bricks. You made it look so easy and fun. I appreciate your expertise and generosity in sharing your knowledge with us. You have inspired me to try this project on my own. I subscribed to your channel. Keep up the great work! Greetings from Uruguay. You have a fan here!

I need this done! Your work looks AMAZING!

[Londonfogey]

Thanks for this. I've moved into a house with quite a lot of spalled brickwork and will try this instead of getting a brickie in who will most likely say 'naaah mate all gotta come out innit'.

I need you guys down here in South Carolina, USA to help me with a project I have coming up. This exact type of work.

Proprietary repair mortar, but where can I get it?

[Rio-byeh]

THIS IS ARTISTRY …. AND ARTISAN… I love this - I love anything cement work, and anything stone work, but I’m a software white collar guy - this to me is THERAPY

Very nice. If it didn't matter about the aesthetics, like the brick was not seen from the ground, could one just render over the spalled damaged brick? And Will this mortar take a fixing?

Wow looks great I need this doing on my house
