As the official brick sponsor, wienerberger is thrilled to support what is recognised as the UK’s largest masonry event and bricklaying competition, Super Trowel. This event not only celebrates the remarkable skill and speed of the nation's professional bricklayers but also serves as a vibrant hub for innovation and craftsmanship in masonry.
The final event will take place on August 8th at Marshall Arena in Milton Keynes and will not only host the thrilling showdown but also feature an exhibition with over 60 exhibitors. Attendees can look forward to live demonstrations and stalls showcasing cutting-edge tools, equipment, and techniques.
The essence of the Super Trowel competition is a formidable challenge: to construct a finished quality wall containing as many wienerberger bricks as possible within one hour. Contestants are given a two-hour window prior to the competition to lay the starter courses of block and brick. Following this preparation, they have one intense hour to lay their bricks in stretcher bond, culminating in a well-deserved 10-minute rest before a 20-minute jointing/pointing up period.
Last year, Charlie Collison from Colchester set a high benchmark, laying an impressive 607 bricks in 60 minutes. His extraordinary performance not only earned him £4,500 but also the prestigious title of the UK's fastest bricklayer.
