Top job as always Liam, waiting patiently for the next instalment. I’ve always said to my now grown up kids that a day without learning something new is a day wasted, I’m personally learning loads of new stuff off you mate .👍🏻
When you were making the second collar ready the whole clay pipe appeared to be moving, which would indicate a fracture further along, or mortar had come away from a join.
Glad I watched this. I need to tee into a clay pipe and was thinking how I would be able to slide the new tee piece into position with the rubber adapters in place but it seems if you put the adapters on the tee first, slide the rubber adapters all the way back, it should go in easy, great!
At 3:11 mate you had me in stitches. So good to see that you are having fun on the job. Not sure people realise how tough that job is. Great informative video once again. Keep up the brilliant work Liam
Good video, was manly looking how you get you base in between with minimal cut length of original pipe, sliding the adaptor back and forth like a slip coupling, that's what I came for !!! Brilliant
Great vid Liam. I’m a plumber and a bit worried about the insulation you used, it looked like the grey stuff you use in the loft. That can absorb rain water then freeze when saturated. If you used something else then that’s good, ignore me and tell me to get lost 😄
“What the fuck have I done here” that literally had me in stitches Liam!! Just the way you paused and said it had me and the mrs crying with laughter!!! We’ve all been there!
I’m in third person mode, I’m asking myself , because I’m confused as f**k, initially I measured it, it all looked good, then it turned to sh*t in a second, keeping the fails as well as the triumphs 🤣
I would always be concerned connecting in to a drainage run before the ‘combined’ drainage starts. Falls for surface water can be shallower than foul. I would of also put a sond down the pipe with a CAT scanner to locate depth - this would mean you wouldn’t dig any unnecessary holes. Wouldn’t be keen on the bends prior to the chamber. I would probably duct the water pipe and insulate if running shallow - this would help protect it when compacting when backfilling so close to the surface
I reckon the block paving will sink over time where its been up, always do when going on backfill. Did you manage to get a compacter on the backfill? Looked a bit tight whack down to be fair. Not end of the world if it did settle down, just have lift up sucken areas and top up sub base.
9.34 that bends had it mate,to much movement in it when you was pulling collar off. No way that will hold up in a drain test. Best off taking it back to the next solid bit of pipe. 👍
Also, it looks like the upstream clay pipe is a smaller size? That rubber connector the wrong size?? Just heard him say he was going to bed on post mix???
If that were my house I would have wanted that drain filled back in with compacted sand & not postcrete. A pain to ever remove & it expands quite a bit while curing in my experiance.
I have had hot and cold pipes put into mine that I'm building. They are 750mm deep in a 4 inch duct which is fully insulated too. Overkill probably but still.
Another geat video! Are there any considerations of running a gas pipe down for a larger outbuilding with its own boiler? This is to power the in-screed hydronic underfloor heating. Cheers!
If the manhole was closer, could you tap in directly into the manhole without permission. If no is the case who would i seek permission from. Cheers for any advice given.
We used a lot of the Y joints for connecting drains,, there's only 1 problem with them, especially using them with toilets, they snag toilet paper,, and not just a bit.. We've even used them at home building our own house,, and they are a nitemare..
Why is it before you clamp in rubber joiners that I hear sand grinding as you turn it in??? Don’t you clean out all your joints with water ? This would make for a far better , long- term seal????? I’ll never understand any build where people entomb rubber! You and I both know rubber WILL eventually deteriorate. I’ve seen a lad rod a soil pipe with his mums window cactus plant tied to a mop with a wire coat hanger! Whenever I do a job ,I always have the mindset that whatever I do must last as long as the house. Our house is 109 years old and the drainage is as solid as the walls.... and the walls ain’t going nowhere !!!
I've heard it's because shipping costs have gone up due to the surge in bulk orders from large companies before Brexit. In some cases increases have been as much as £10,000 per container.
Quality video mate .. good to see some ground up method .. here some the stupid question: how well do the jubilee clips fair up over time and is there any alternative .. these videos are really really helpful particularly if you don’t do these things everyday .. good to see some experience in motion .. cheers chaps you’re a blessing x
Sorry mate bit confusing with ya interpretation of combined fow l& rainwater, You ran the kitchen sink with dye, then flushed the loo, that dont tell you its combined system, all ya grey water goes into same fowl pipe which picks up main sewer, its the rainwater gulley that you need to check of it goes into fowl, if it does then thats the combined system.
It is alright apart than sliding upvc pipe into clay. That is a big NO. Over time that grim will allow movement on the rubber seal with clay and guess what? They will have to call someone else to repair the bodge job. That is why you use the rubber seal reducer mate.
I agree with @MrQuasar1958 regarding a day not learning is a day wasted. I am currently isolating due to having covid so what can I do?!?! Watch William Griffin on You tube all day :-) (although I do have to watch some in another room to my 7 year old ("what the **** have I done there?" has to be out of earshot!!). It is magic to see how different you work now compared to your early videos (hand saw to cut the frame, cut outs of the flooring rather than cutting the frame for the nuts on the piles). One of the early videos though was a garden room with a store room on the side/rear (january 2019 labelled garden room). Next time you have a job/project where you are splitting rooms, could you detail what you do please? I guess the garden room part is as normal (OSB, insulation, vapour barrier, plasterboard), but then the store room part, is that just fully OSB without any insulation?
No mate, we always fully insulate incase they make it into one room in the future, you’ve reminded me about how we have changed our methods over the year, everyday is a school day, thank you for being their from the start. It’s comments like this that keep me pushing forward and past the haters. I’ve never once said, this is the way it must be done! It’s simply how we do things , again thank you and anyone reading this for your support 😇
@@thegardenroomguru Top man and thanks for the response. 2 other questions if I may which relate to some of your more recent videos. 1:- Did you ever get aired on the One show? 2:- Did Amy (or John!!!) ever get round to that calendar :-)
Great work your instructional videos - did you have to get planning approval to install toilet waste etc? Or was it covered in permitted dev ? I’ve looked everywhere can’t get strait answer cheers
alright Liam, great videos (cant get enough). I am planning to build my own garden room and will purchase a build pack when ready to go. I fancy putting a shower and toilet in my build, therefore will have to tap into the sewer drain. Do you need planning permission for this.
Probably need to get building control to inspect it but not sure really, did you find out? I'm planning a garden room and would like a toilet, possibly shower as well if possible
They have a rubber seal in the socket which is designed to receive the pipe. No solvent weld required, just clean the pipe, lube up and then push it in.
"what the **** have I done there?" You didn't cut the pipe 🤣 And while I've seen it done well enough to have a go myself, this is a job that I'll pay someone else money to do 😉
At 3:11 you had me in stitches Liam. Just too funny and great to see you having some fun doing a very difficult and filthy job. Great vid as always mate.
You've just given the impression to diyers it's acceptable to take guard off a grinder while using it. Irresponsible. That's never been passed by bc either. Potential problems for householder should they decide to sell. Just my opinion
Cnsl using food dye why don’t you buy some drain dye? 😂 also you should invest in a CAT to check for utilities below ground before digging, last thing you want is a cable strike lol and would of made your digs quicker to use a sonde to locate your pipe
I have a petrol saw with the grinder blade on it has the water attachment on it...., can you cut in clay pipe with that or is it better to use a small grinder??
@@thegardenroomguru Thanks Liam, I have both but a smaller hole will be better in the location I need to dig as a fence post is quite near to the area I will be digging in.

Good work there Liam, you can adapt to anything that needs doing. Nice one well done very good video
Amazing video!! EXACTLY what I needed to see before attempting this myself!
I also nailed the 1K thumbs UP for you!! Thank You so much!!
Excellent work.. I just started drainge work even though is hard and dirty but I really enjoy it ..

Came here to say this. That upstream clay pipe is moving all over the place. Will be leaking loads now.
🤠
Also, it looks like the upstream clay pipe is a smaller size? That rubber connector the wrong size?? Just heard him say he was going to bed on post mix???
Also the adjustable bend into the chamber is shocking, so acute looks like it goes back on itself!
Been looking forward to this one pal,yet again another crackin job,u aint afraid to get ur hands dirty,respect u for that👍
Another great post got some great skills going on there Liam
funny with it keep it up pal enjoy watching your stuff
Brilliant video. Thanks for filming this! 👌👏👏
Doing a cracking job lad. The worst them dirty jobs
Interesting, mixing it up a bit ! gonna be a mint garden room this with running water 👌🏼
Great Video - did something similar but used a water heater inside the garden room. The cold draw from the hot pipe will be terrible.
Nice one mate. Just what I was looking for.
Well done mate another great video well explained as always ! John form Chichester.
Excellent would have liked to see you connect to garden room to make it complete. Thx
Will do mate, I’ll do full connection when it’s ready
brilliant job loved the video takes a good builder to do a video for all to comment
Good info Liam,top job 👍
If that were my house I would have wanted that drain filled back in with compacted sand & not postcrete.
A pain to ever remove & it expands quite a bit while curing in my experiance.
Great work, well explained... 👍🏻
great video , nicely explained thank you
Thought water pipes had to be below the frost line which is 650mm?
That copper pipes only 6” in some places, still going strong
water regs is 750mm, but can be shorter if insulated like they have in this case
I have had hot and cold pipes put into mine that I'm building. They are 750mm deep in a 4 inch duct which is fully insulated too. Overkill probably but still.
Looks like a hard days graft fella, did the cables go below the dpm line of the house if so won’t that breach the levels?
There’s a cavity under the floor in the house, we’ll be going in under the dpc level
