    S&A, no wonder that inspector would come to you guys at a drop of a hat, he knows he’s not going to inspect work from the average muppet builder, 👍, I’m a supervisor and work in construction for a big player and I know my way around good standards, wether it’s building a road, a footpath, or 10k of drainage, you guys have pride and quality, I love a small family concern delivering high standards, absolutely brilliant gents.

    What an absolute fact filled episode Chaps! Was impressed with how you’re overcoming the challenges of the old ‘levels’. I had the same problem many years back with an old railway property, the gable had ‘sagged’, and the rectification was to ‘Stick to new levels’, otherwise it would have been a nightmare of a dogs dinner to look at! Again, Chaps, well done, and so informative.

    With a 150mm cavity can you still insulate with just the 100mm dri and 50mm open cavity and does that get away with insulated plasterboard? Or do you need 150mm insulation in the cavity too get rid of the insulated plasterboard? If that makes sense?

    • @SteveAndAlexBuild
      @SteveAndAlexBuild  วันที่ผ่านมา

      There are loads of ways to achieve the .18 u value . You can still do a 100 mm cavity but it’s 90 mm celotex with a 10 mm gap which is a crap way in our opinion 🧱👍🏽

    • @kylelangdon2787
      @kylelangdon2787 วันที่ผ่านมา

      @ thanks for the quick reply yea I’ve seen that it’s very expensive and looks fidily with the walls ties!
      What’s your preferred method 150 cavity with 150mm wool insulation? Can the internal block just be plastered then? And never suffer with damp with no space in the cavity?
      Only ask as I plan on doing an extension under pd so will be limited for space just wondering the best way with building under them

  • @markjarvis9780
    @markjarvis9780 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I’ve always been used to h/c over site then concreting it. Then once you knock through put your insulation and a final screed to the right height.

    Nice work guys, have you thought about doing 90mm pir insulation with a 10mm gap? Been doing that for the past year. Always tried to keep at least 25mm gap in the past but it is shown to be the other option rather than 150mm fibreglass and building control suggested it.
    Saves a little bit of space on the internal.

    20 mm out on the brickwork ? Their string must have been bent. Probably by carelessly trrowing it in the back of the van. I'm not a brickie but I could do better than that. Discraceful work. Makes yur job a pain.

    have a look at the hot knife for cutting that insulation, no mess. Also EPS sheets are half the price of celotex and work brick.

    As a builder in New Zealand I can't help but think a timber on pile extension would've been so much quicker and cheaper, as well as lighter, than what you've done. Clad with the same profile boards as existing.

    Previous work not on gauge sure makes it hard to follow correctly! Was that work done before brick tapes?
    Love your attention to the details, it makes all the difference. If the foundation isn't right, then that can throw out everything. We have jokes about that here in Washington state USA.
