I once glued some new plywood down and it almost immediately had to come back up and it was very tough indeed..... long story short, I put noggins in between the joists and honestly it has completely eliminated the squeaks and feels solid now.
I enjoyed the video and always good to see what people are charging. Not a criticism but an observation , 3 hinges per door is the standard. It's also good practice because many doors you buy will have a bow in them so the 3rd hinge will always keep the door straight reletive to the door stop on the hinge side and the door stops on the lock side especially when the central heating kicks in. All the best Ade.
Cheers for the comment buddy, there is a massive debate in the comments over 2 or 3 hinges in lean towards 2 on these doors, some lean towards 3, personally I think both is fine unless you going for the heavier doors, personal preference I think. Nice one
Hi Lewis, I haven’t commented for a while but have been watching your videos. Another good video showing what we do and the processes. Your time, knowledge and tools should mean a fair days pay for the work you carry out. Keep it up fella.
Hi mark ! Thanks for taking the time to comment buddy, glad you’ve been enjoying the videos ! Completely agree mate ! That’s why I thought I would share the pricing on this one .
Over the years i’ve needed to get under chipboard floors both glued and not. Easy to do and repair afterwards. Never seen why the issues with it personally.
Great skills, and way faster than I would have done it as a DIYer! I would have had to use a routing template for the hinges, as there is no way I could do that freehand, and self-centering drills for the hinge holes.
I can vouch for that, I'm a self-employed joiner, 55 and been off work on crutches for 6 months waiting for a new knee after mine went on me as I was getting ready for work . I just wish when I started out nearly 40years ago I'd of listened to the old boys when they use to say protect your knees.
When I used to fit central heating I used to hate working around chipboard it was a P.I.T.A., but if you're fitting a new floor afterwards I guess it doesn't really matter. 👍
Personally I'd have marked on the boards with a sharpie, where all the pipes and cables beneath the boards are. I do it on all my jobs, I'd never glue this down no matter what a manufacturer said, they aren't the ones who will have a pipe split and need to get the boards up fast😂 and defo always join on a joist or create a solid with a noggin. Just common sense really. 390 for the job can you break that down please Just saying a number doesn't tell the whole story so kinda what's the point? How much were materials? Do you charge for travel or is it just labour and materials that you charge for. 👍
Thanks for sharing, i have a squeak in my current sub floor, any tips on how to sort this? was thinking about screwing where the nails are so i dont burst any pipes. Theres is cheap vinyl flooring on top of chip board, putting a new hardwood floor down soon and cant risk having a squeak underneath. Thanks.
I hate tongue and groove chipboard. We have a local guy that supplies us with reclaimed floorboards and is slightly cheaper, even with the wastage you have where boards are cut down previously. makes life much easier for tradesmen in the future to access pipes.
Thanks for the video. price transparency is important for the trades IMHO otherwise we would all be undercharging. What you have charged is probably typical, but given your experience I think you could pull in more profit mate. Put it this way, £600-£700 seems a more reasonable exchange for the value you've added to their property. Also, It would probably take a novice like me around 2 days to do this job, and I dont think you should charge half the price just because youve done it in half the time. I really appreciate the info you share because it helps me get better too Cheers
Cheers buddy I do appreciate your comment! Even the ones saying I should charge more 😂 it’s definitely something I will have a think about, especially with the cost of living and everything going up in general! Thanks pal 🍻👍
You have to glue (using D4 glue) and screw the boards down under building Regs, its been like that for a number of years now. Door hanging is normally between £150 and £350 per door depending on what the door is made of or if its a specialist door and flooring from £22 to £35 a square metre again depending on what its made of. The materials are on top of that. Day rate at £250 to £300 (standard rates now) is what i'm assuming you charged leaving £140 for the materials, the D4 glue is extortionate.
@Asgardsteve1 I just can't find it. Do you mean it's its an NHBC requirement rather than building regulation? We manufacture staircases to comply with building regs document K but there's no info on the landings which is what I was looking for
Great work as always, mate 👍🏻👍🏻. I have a question: I have the same subfloor that you put down in the video, in an upstairs room in my house. Admittedly it's in great condition. No squeaks, flexes, etc, when walking on it. I want to lay 21mm engineered oak flooring on top of the subfloor. Would you recommend it or not? I appreciate I'll have to nail / screw into the joists below rather than just the chipboard. Or should I lift it all up and start from bare joists?
Was thinking the same and my college days were many moons ago , how about the glueing of the boards , never seen or done that before if it’s screwed down at reasonable centres u shouldn’t get any movement and thus no squeaking , but each to there own I spose
Great job again how did you go with your bike ride going self employed this year myself just looking for a van get jan and Feb over then start getting work in
Cheers Kevin, haven’t done the ride yet mate, be been doing loads of riding. The charity ride starts in February. Awesome mate, what can you looking at getting ? There loads for sale at the moment im finding as I’m looking for a mate.
@LTWCarpentry not sure thinking something like yours there a bit cheaper up here in the north son in law does media walls booked up till may so mite jump in with him for a bit
Looking for a little advice really I have 25mm screws and 30mm ready to go to secure 5.5mm ply so that LVT can be installed could you let us know which brand of screws you are using?
I do agree, I’ve noticed I’m fixing so many DIY jobs now where people are trying to do highly skilled jobs at home as they already think we are pricey already! If only they knew how much is involved 👍🍻
I’ve replaced a few chipboard floors, the nature of the material doesn’t seem to suit flooring as there is no strength around the screws and they eventually pop in high traffic areas. Granted none of the floors I have replaced have been glued and screwed but I always replace with ply or floorboard.
The glue will massively help with this also if you drive your screw in till the head is flush rather then pumping the screw under the surface it has a much better chance of holding due to the surface if the board being dencer then the core
A bit low on the labour price mate I wouldn't get out of bed for less then £500 a day and hope to make around £750 a day but I've been in the trade for 40 years now city & guilds apprenticed served then on to advanced & years trained most Carpenters today are only NVQ 1 or 2 one year trained and very poor at that
Never met you never saw your work but I know one thing you or anyone else is not worth £500 a day with the tools availabe now joinery is not skill anymore its a process any guy with half a brain and diy skills can master
In my opinion, you should never hammer the nails back into the joists, you should always take out old nails ir screws when possible, apart from that ,good job,🏴🏴
£390 seems super cheap to me. Assumes it would have been significantly more. Been waiting to tackle some in my own house, but i think ill pay if thats a ballpark figure!
Hi buddy, it really does depend on the area you are living in as well as what the job, I don’t tend to work on a day rate but rather a price per job 👍🍻
Site carpenters are around £200 a day in my area but for a good domestic chippy I think at least £300 but most would want to give you a quote for the work rather than day work price.
@@simonhinson9367 Looks like the Hippo PU from wickes. You only need additional moisture with that stuff if you want it for gap filling. As this is a straight bond, no need to apply waster/moisture. Perfect stuff for chipboard.
In new builds we generally do 3 which is to help stop the door from warping or twisting, but that’s in a new build which is wet AF, 2 is fine in an older, settled, dried out house.
Hi Lewis great video 👍 Labour, floor materials, 2hr travel I would have thought around £700 tbh. You’ve got the skills/knowledge, reputation and all the tools + van!
@@LTWCarpentrythanks mate, would you do a video on becoming a self employed chippy, how to get started, things to get in place ready go, must have tools and things like insurances if you need them and so on, thanks very much :)
That seems like a reasonable price. I've just done a back-of-a-napkin calculation on what your profit margin might be (minus materials & expenses) then x5 days x4 weeks x12 months and it works out at a good yearly wage. Obviously a lot more complicated than that but it gives me a rough idea. The customer gets a quality job. If they're happy & you're happy then the price is right.
Yeah unfortunately it’s not as simple as that, take into account dry time, jobs that overrun, jobs that cancel last minute, time off sick and holiday and you’re lucky to get 40 weeks of work a year. Then you’ve got P.L, van costs, advertising, tools, the cost of various blades and router bits a year is staggering. £250 a day doesn’t go far.
@liamclark9411 I did say it gave me a very rough idea. Totally agree there's a lot, LOT more involved. I guess you will get jobs that pay more though, as well as the frustrating ones. I was just trying to get a ballpark figure.
@@Rooster---oooNon paying customers. Injuries. Mistakes. Quote visits and paperwork time. Plenty of ways that you get screwed and come up way short on £250 a day. If you’re a proper small business: own van, tools, paperwork etc. In the South you need to be pulling £300 daycare plus 15% on materials at least if you want to make it work.

In the UK with this product when gluing the joints you don’t have to land on a joist at the joints. 🤙 i still try to though
