Hi Steve and Alex I agree with your dad that jobs and nightmare. I know he means with the insulation I would turn down jobs even if I never had any work. It’s a nightmare by Mario determination but your old school and get the job done. Thanks again for showing us, this hope you have the op soon
Thanks pal 🤜🏽🤛🏽👍🏽🧱
Another great one boys... and great to see a first outing for the shorts too Steve..!! 😂👍🏴
😆😆🩳🧱👍🏽
Hi Steve, I have a bricklaying company in Exeter, all extensions and new builds are cavity bats like that, I am used to working with them now! Have been since I started my apprenticeship in 2010, that’s all we ever use down here!
Now I started in 1987 and all I’ve used since then is fibreglass so you can see why I hate the pir 😒🧱👍🏽
Thanks for another upload. Think I would struggle getting my blockwork neat enough for that insulation. If I could give one piece of advice it would be for young Alex to branch out and get with a good all round builder who has plenty on. He should try absorbing every aspect of building so one day can go out and take on his own work. That might be for others or his own developments. Doing all them lintels won't teach him that. Hes a grafter and you have taught him well.
🧱👍🏽
Steve, i really like the channel but take this as you will... you've got to give Alex more responsibility setting out etc, you and your hip need to be resting as much as possible. Rather than Alex making funny hand gestures making you look small behind the camera get him learning how to set lines up etc... again, massive fan of the channel and have been subscribed for years but jesus christ get the lad taking some responsibility after years in the trade. It makes me feel your pain seeing you in pain haha

@MickG-r8o8 years?

@MickG-r8o now now Rodney no need to be getting nasty just because you’ve shown yourself up to be a top of the range plonker 👍
You compliment each other on the roles you both do, hard to find gents Alex is spot on now well done looks great 🧱🧱🧱
Cheers Simon 🙏🏽🧱👍🏽😁
I can honestly say that I am glad I am not bricklaying anymore,you’re videos remind me how lucky I am
😆😆🧱👍🏽

And from next year 2025 to 2030, with the introduction of even more legislation - its going to get even more "Bonkers." I am convinced that the legislation will go so far down the insulation & thermal efficiency route, that it will make traditional cavity wall construction obsolete and totally non - viable as a method of construction.
@martin2466 😬😒🧱👍🏽
Agree mate no give in that stuff done a few jobs with always make cavity slightly bigger to compensate for that insulation and move ties forward 10mm 👍
Absolutely 🧱👍🏽
I agree, I hate using the rigid insulation. Building control here like it to be wrapped on the corners and like it to begin below damp to eliminate cold bridging.
Not just us them 😁🤜🏽🤛🏽🧱👍🏽
What an absolute load of bollocks I feel sorry for you Steve mate we are building houses with a 75mm pir 125 cavity and thermalite
Why can't you do that so at least you keep that 50mm air flow
@matthewingham7806 . 😳😳🤙🏾🧱👍🏽
Another great vid fellas. Must be frustrating having to do inner first and dealing with that pesky insulation!
Certainly is .😤😤🧱👍🏽
Hi Alex and Steve I love your channel have seen a lot of your videos you have inspired me to self build a little extension keep up the good work
That’s great to hear.
Thanks and good luck 🤞🏼🧱🧱👍🏽
That ‘insulation first’ method looks like a proper headache.
It really is 😒🧱👍🏽
“It sounds dramatic 😂 and it’s horrible😅and I hate it 🤨. But I know and am sure you both do a professional job again Steve and Alex 👊
Always do our best no matter what the job is 🧱👍🏽😆
Great job Steve and Alex seams like glad see back this job didn't you for see plans before took job on like they were using that insulation 👍👍
Cheers.
No we didn’t 😞🧱👍🏽
@@SteveAndAlexBuild 🤣 keep up great work Steve looking forward to nx video 👍👍
😁🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾🧱👍🏽
I see you found a good use for the celotex Steve! Nice variable height hop up 😂
Only thing that stuff is good for. 😏🧱👍🏽
Keep on grinding fella's
Great stuff
Will do John 🤜🏽🤛🏽🧱👍🏽
Good vid lads, great skills
Cheers Gary 🧱👍🏽
I wish I had the money to buy you an operation Steve. I can feel your pain when I watch. I know what it's like to carry a decent injury and have to keep working.
Thanks pal , hopefully I can get fixed soon 🥹🧱👍🏽
Some brickies don't give a dam, but your dad is precise and conscientious, old school is true school. Hope is leg gets better and if you Alex mirror your dads skills, then you're definitely set up for life and one day the rolls we be reversed and you'll be teaching your son. Well done boys well done. Nod UK
Thanks pal that’s very kind 🙏🏽🧱👍🏽
what a job I bet you are close to pulling your hair out with all the regs going on ,thanks for the video
Pulled my hair out a long time ago 🙄😆😆🧱👍🏽
Surely the NHS will prioritise a manual worker in a vital trade a hip operation.
Maybe use your Channel to raise a petition?
Absolutely not mate , I thought the same and said it to my surgeon 😞🧱👍🏽
Keep Battling
Cheers Joe 🧱👍🏽
Thanks
Cheers buddy . Very kind 🙏🏽🙏🏽😍🧱👍🏽
We've just completed an extension with the t&g PIR. I wasn't impressed to say the least. Real ball ache as you say! Not enough tolerance for on site/real world. You can tell its thought up by a company thatsv never been near a real site!
Perfectly put Dave . Awful stuff 😞🧱👍🏽
@@dave15414 100% it happens all the time. Like the roof light that’s been designed in an office and never been practically tested. . Or the engineer who designs a beam with no thought about the installation process. I spend more time on the phone problem solving than I do building these days!
@goldie4502 very true 😒🧱👍🏽
Celotex or kingspan is the usual way here in wales extensions are specified. Don't like the t&g on that insulation pain on the corners as you say.
More difficult building and extension if it's brick because the blockwork has to go up first got to be spot on with setting out Steve.
Looking good mate enjoy your stay in wales beautiful country when the sun is out 🏴👍🧱🧱
Yeah Justin T&G just over complicates things and makes it more award 😒.
We ain’t fans of internals at all mate .
Had a lovely day today good weather and a trip to Prestatyn 😎🧱👍🏽
@SteveAndAlexBuild
South West Wales is nice for the coast Steve any enjoy the break you and family mate 👍
@brickrightbuildinglandscaping 😍😍🧱👍🏽
Another great video Lads what a team love it keep on with the videos
Cheers David 🧱👍🏽
Hi guys liking the content keep the great work up just a quick question how come you’re behind in the recordings you’re in May in the vlogs and we’re actually in July nearing August just wondering. 👍
Hi thanks . It’s Just where the editing is up to as we record almost every day that is a lot of editing 🧱👍🏽
Hello boys. It's a good job you are doing. I worked in England in construction and wanted to do bricklaying. I then wanted to do carpentry and came home to do an apprenticeship. The man that was my employer never registered me as an apprentice so I left and went working to my uncle labouring
Thanks.
That’s a shame 😕🧱👍🏽
@@SteveAndAlexBuildYou're welcome 🧱🔨👍🤙
@irishcountrylife7322 🤜🏽🤛🏽🧱👍🏽
There's alot worse insulation out there , the full fill with plastic on the outside. Where the wall ties go you have to cut with saw to sit them flat. Has to be perfect or you end up cutting sheets down. Once you get used to it . Its much better stuff. Try build 2 course on the outside and than 2 on the inside. All done from inside the slab . Than pop in your insulation. May make it easier for you.
🧱👍🏽
thats how iv done it in the past works well.
👍🏽🧱
Non-Trade watcher. Crazy that this is such a ball-ache yet Gov is happy for these old 1900's properties to have full fill insulation and its 'fine'. I think the future will be outside skin, tanking membrane, 100mm full fill pir insulation, inside skin or similar.
😒🧱👍🏽
Was it the architect who specified that insulation ,,, on big site they use the roll type insulation filling the whole cavity very much easier that what your having to contend with .
But I’m not a lover of total fill cavity
Yes 😒. Thanks architect 🧱👍🏽
Neat work guys.
Just one thing, i thought all the insulation joints had to be taped?
Cheers. Not if it’s tongue and groove 🧱👍🏽
OK - Thanks for that.
Certainly a lot of work to save 40mm in wall thickness.
@markdauncey927 certainly is 😒🧱👍🏽
Geniune question - I think PIR is 2x better insulator than rockwool and it doesn't sag. I get its more hassle but utlimately does a better job - can't you price higher to account for hassle and then let customer decide if extra price is worth the benefit?
We could but if a job involves using this stuff I just won’t do it from now on 🧱👍🏽
@@SteveAndAlexBuild fair enough 👍
🤢👎🏽🤣🧱👍🏽
hi boys….. what’s the reason you have to use that pir insulation m. not sure you explained why?
What was chosen first this job😒👍🏽🧱
At least the customer will save £2 a year off their heating bills!
😏🧱👍🏽
has dad have a hip replacement? I am due one and is that the way he walks after the operation?
Nope
What is the holdup with your surgery? My brother just had his hip replaced and it only took one day and an overnight stay. He is going to have the other side done in 30 days. He is a completely different man today.
NHS
NHS =nothing happens soon😢
@garywheeley5108 so true 😒🧱👍🏽
@@SteveAndAlexBuild Sorry but I just hate to see you suffer like that. I can see how hard you work and how hard the work is so good luck.
Don't understand why you got the line that side we using that insulation and have the line the side we laying and insulation still fine🤔
🧱👍🏽
As Columbo used to say 'Just one more thing..' (one for your dad there). Because it's internal insulation the dew point in the wall changes dramatically. So the internal heat within the home hits the insulation and because it's non porous any condensation will begin on both the inner and out skins of it. Then it'll hopefully drip down and hit the DPC from above. So where does that moisture go after that?
you could have occasional weep vents placed at dpc level on both the outer block layer and the in-between insulation joins. This naturally creates a point cold bridge on the insulation but gives somewhere for the condensation go. Hmm..there is another solution that prevents the cold bridge and still lets the water out but it'll add more time. I guess that'll be included in the price next time..
Nope there won’t be a next time
@@SteveAndAlexBuild 🤣
@@SteveAndAlexBuild Certainly external insulation is easier to think about solving because you just stick it to the outside and put some weep vents at the bottom. No doubt though with Net Zero it's becoming a staple part of construction. Your partial retrofit is awkward because of Building Regs and the narrow alleyways either side of the house ((fire escape etc')). B Regs only going to get worse so I reckon you need to keep on evolving & perfecting that methodology.
@FerryFalco sorry but I ain’t got a clue what you are talking about 😬
Would the neighbour not let you lift the fence panel on the right hand side ?
. No idea mate the neighbour wasn’t asked 😞🧱👍🏽
@@SteveAndAlexBuild just thought it would have made it easier getting your blocks up. Great job as usual 👍🏼
@davidparry2301 cheers Dave 🧱👍🏽
I take it you don’t like the insulation 😂
🤣🤢🤮🧱👍🏽
😂 back in the day when I was on the tools that’s all we used, trying to keep blockwork to coursing was a ball ache
Yep still is 😒🧱👍🏽
🤜🏽🤛🏽🧱👍🏽
ok I'm back, how is it ok to use fibre glass on the last 450mm? the tiles won't make up u value. I'm not taking the piss I am genuinely interested and never meant to cause any offence
No probs . I believe the u value is calculated over the whole building so a bit less there can be made up elsewhere on the build . 🧱👍🏽
@@SteveAndAlexBuild please clarify for me, you can use fibrolite blocks with celotex 100 and met regs?
@scottnever8732 👍🏽
Bricklaying is not enjoyable anymore. Spend less and less time with a trowel in our hands. Too busy faffing around with damp, insulation...
Very true Andy all this warning backwards as well , hate it 😒🧱👍🏽
Are you going to supertrowel mate or will you be on your mega vacation?
@@SteveAndAlexBuild wrong comment I think matey
Ah apologies 🫣🧱👍🏽
old school ,,, running in on profiles ha ha ,,
Yep those profiles are 37 years old so very old school
Ha ha ,,,
Is there a wall tie shortage over there now ? Alex seems to lacking a few ...or more than a few .
What’s a wall tie ?
It's all gone made. Why do some people want to make it harder. I think it's because they don't have to use these shit products.
Very true mate , absolute bal ache to install.
I imagine that’s why house builders rarely use it now .
Imagine the shit show if it was done on price work 💩🤢🧱👍🏽
It’s not a shit product it’s an excellent product . You build up your outside wall 2 courses of block high then your inside wall 2 courses high install the insulation put on your ties and disk clips and repeat . If your using profiles on the outside blockwork it’s even easier , no building outside corners over hand with a level . And you work off the slab unless the outside skin is brickwork.
@@JoeObrien-lh8kz Ask 10 bricklayers do they want to keep moving in and out every 2 corses of blockwork and 6 corses of brickwork. I bet I know the answer. It's nonsense and none productive.
No sorry you are the first person I’ve heard with a positive view . I don’t agree. Definitely wasn’t designed by a bricklayer 👎🏽🧱
@richardfitzgerald4812 . Very true Richard 😒🧱👍🏽
