- In this Regency Renovation episode, John shows us the latest progress on the floorboards and floor joists. Mark demonstrates the measures being taken to support the floor joists within the bathroom. In another area of the house, due to water leakage and woodworms, the floor joists are damaged, and John takes us through the replacement of those floor joists. Watch for advice and tips on flooring, renovation timelapses and updates of the build.
A huge thank you to our show sponsors, MKM Building Supplies. We highly recommend you check out their website for all your construction material needs!

Honestly you guys are top quality builders! Really take pride in your work. Keep it up guys!
Fairplay guys! I've been building for 25 years and a time served plumber so I fully appreciate what you're doing here. The lengths to which you go stands out an absolute mile!
Pro tip tho, when drilling them large 4 inch hole saws, start the cut then put one or two 5mm pilots on the inside of the circumference. Then resume with the cut. Allows cooling and causes a lot less clogging on the bit. ;)
Hi Lee thanks for your kind words, that’s a great shout love tips like that will try that and give you a shout out for that idea all the best Tony 👍 have a awesome weekend
Always top quality workmanship.
Keep it up.

Thank you Isabel! 😊👍
Nice one lads 👌🏼🏴👍🏼
Thanks Rob all the best Tony 👍 have a awesome week
Always good viewing. Just heading over to my Edwardian renovation - similar problems with rot, knackered plaster etc. I spend all my time time tapping walls, joists, render etc.
Thanks Gareth! Requires a lot of TLC I'm sure, but all worth it in the end. Take care! 👍
Best tool in the world Pallet Buster Demolition Bar !! Wish you would get some kee pads on guys don't want you to be crippled when you're older.
Handy bit of kit aren't they Peter? I'll pass on the word about the knee pads. Take care and have a great week! 👍
Easy with a resip saw, do that with your old sanvick saw and pump screwdriver, loving it well done all 👍
Thanks for watching Jim, take care 👍
probably watched 5hrs of Build with A&E, best videos around for competent DIYers to upskill. Wish you guys were based in the north east to do a refurb on a commercial to resi conversion I've just purchased.
Hi Vigan Qehaja,
It's great to hear that you're enjoying our videos. If we can teach all of our subscribers at least one thing, then we'll be happy.
Thanks for watching.
All the best, John 😊
Absolutely fascinating to see quality builders do quality building work .
Thank you for the lovely words as always Maria, have an awesome week! 👍
Vids are brilliant. I've moved into a new victorian house.. 130 years old. Upstairs floors have a bow to the tune on 40mm in the centre of the room.. can you do a vid on levelling this kind of floor.. keen to have a crack if it's just a case of pulling up floor and packing.. but good to see how the pros do it! ;)
Great content new sub looking forward to more 👍
Hope you're enjoying the content inh! Take care 👍
magic
Thanks Stevie! 😊👍
Quality tradesmen 👌. Looking forward to the next video guys 👍
Cheers bud, have a great evening! 👍
Excellent video. Only one thing I didn't quite understand, was how you put the chipboard reinforcement on the side of the joist after the new top pice was glued/ screwed where the old notches were. Any specific videos on this type of repair?
Brill as always! 👌🏼
A few ‘Gotcha’ comments below in regard of DPC at the ends of the joists, these guys clearly didn’t watch all the previous vids on the extension where you showed exactly this 🙄😂. Keep up the quality work guys 👍🏼
😂 this is very true Marty, at least you've been paying attention 😉
Take care mate.
All the best, John 😊
What a nice period house going to look great once finished . And another great video content how long is that project going to take before complete. Hope you are all well enjoy the rest of your week.
Hi Kenny Mann,
Glad you're enjoying our videos.
It really is a lovely house, which we are privileged to work on.
We should be finished this project by the end of November.
Take care.
All the best, John 😊
Love the videos! Was wondering what the joist support plate with the holes in were called?
Hi Matt it’s something the engineer designed and Prototype fabricated thanks for watching all the best Tony 👍 have a awesome week
Another enjoyable video. As a retired surveyor, I thought you would have used a dpm, on the new joist ends at the bay window.
Hi Scottish Norfolk Southern Fan we did if you look at the comments that John replies to ask the same question, we also have a video showing it on the St Mary’s Build project thanks for watching all the best Tony 👍
Nice to see someone who actually reinforces the floor joists after running a 100mm pipe through them 👍
The amount of butchered floor joists I've seen in my time is unbelievable.
It's shocking what some people think is acceptable!
Thanks for watching.
All the best, John 😊
hi great vid. as a diyer I learn a lot off your vids, Was that a metal plate you bolted to strengthen the joists which had the hole for the soil pipe?
Hi arfan it was it was designed and fabricated to help the load and deflection thanks for watching all the best Tony 👍have a awesome week
Nice rip saw cam, probably would have bitumen coated the joist ends but it’s not a building requirement
Hi bredan ford,
The joists were only temporarily placed, we wrapped them in DPM before the final instillation.
Thanks for watching.
All the best, John 😊
Hi John. Great work on this. It's going to be a beauty. Just wondering whether you fix the joists down to the brickwork to stop them moving or if it's ok to leave them loose?
Hi Tim,
It definitely is going to be a beautiful home.
The video only shows them being temporarily placed. They were slate packed and mucked into the pockets and then noggins installed to prevent any slipping.
Hope this helps.
All the best, John 😊
Nice bit of smash er deconstruction there boys ⚒⛏🧱🧨🧱👍🏼
Hey Guys so true hope you are both well all the best Tony 👍 have a awesome week
Build With A&E 🧱👍🏽
Quality work as always. By the way did the new joists dimensions match the width of the existing ones.
Hi asif zardari,
Glad you enjoyed the video.
Unfortunately not. We slate packed them, so the tops ran through and then put furring strips on the underside for the ceiling below.
Nothing's ever that straightforward 😉
All the best, John 😊
DiY follower. Love the content. At the end of the video how we're the joist fixed to wall once in place? Hangers?
The joists were sat in pockets on top of the wall below, so no need for hangers. The pockets get pointed up, and noggins fitted in between to prevent any movement.
I hope this helps.
All the best, John 👷🏻♂️
another great video guys! I wonder if I could pick your brains!? ... can a party wall in a loft conversion for a terraced property be of timber construction or does it have to be soild? and if so what part of the building regs apply to it? any help would be greatly appreciated! : )
Hi Popandu the wall can be made of timber but needs to be a fire break and have to go through building Regs all the best Tony 👍
@@BuildWithAE Thanks so much Tony - very much appreciate the advice. The Regency conversion is looking great! : )
A lot of old properties I believe had Lime plaster. I see that leaky wall has plaster damage. What wall plaster used to repair and smooth the wall and what would you normally use now in modern days plastering these old buildings?. Can you still get Lime plaster to use for the repair?
Hi Rail Man,
All of the exterior walls which need repair work, will receive lime plaster. The outside is rendered with lime render, so by using lime internally, we allow the walls to breathe as they are meant to.
Hope this helps.
All the best, John 😊
Ah such helpful videos! How time consuming is it for someone to replace joists? Our bedrooms upstairs in our 1930s semi, both sag in the middle and it drives me insane as it’s so noticeable. Am I right to think it would be the joists? Is it easy to take up floorboards without breaking them?
Hi Rebecca much appreciated, it’s definitely the joists it is easy to replace the joist and take the floor boards up as well you may have wires and pipes that might need to be addressed. I would only tackle this job if you are both keen and experienced DIYers if not get a Carpenter in all the best Tony 👍
Are you going to be putting lime back in, plaster etc? Because otherwise you could get some serious damp issues after a few years if you don't allow the walls to breath even if you have fitted damp proofing? Particularly on the ground floor given the solid wall construction and if the cladding on the outside is sealing it (the other option there being limewash/limecrete on the outside)
Hi Edward the whole external wall has had the old cement render taken off and lime plaster has started to be put on but as you know this is a longer process because of carbonation and wetting down and lots of meters to do, interior lime were we can. Thanks for watching all the best Tony 👍
Hi Edward,
All internal walls on the external elevations will be re-plastered with lime plaster. One side of the property is also being rendered with lime plaster, as the original render had blown.
As you mentioned, it's important to ensure these properties are able to breathe, otherwise damp issues will occur.
This property will be renovated as conscientiously as possible, using the correct methods and materials.
I hope this helps.
Thanks for watching.
All the best, John 😊
@@BuildWithAE Yeah I know, soooo much more effort but worth it in the long run! Awesome to see you guys are doing a proper job on this, a lot of companies wouldn't bother and would just cover the place in cement and gypsum because it's quicker and cheaper
🤙
Is that tool you used for lifting floorboards homemade? I have not seen one before but looked nifty for taking boards up?
Hi Paul you can buy it on line all the best Tony 👍
Ricky taking tiles off without goggles! As a minimum, with occasional shards of glass-like tile shooting off when they break, googles should always be worn!
It would have been good to see how you permanently fixed the joists.
Sorry Adam, but I had to go on to another job and so I was unable to film it.
All the best, John 😊
interesting working on old houses I bet you get problems you have to get over , like hanging doors
Always got obstacles we need to get over, but we love the challenge! 😉👍
Which sort of tradesman is best to call out to level a ceiling/floor?
Carpenters or an incredible talented man like John who is a plaster but is a very talented tradesmen 👍
@@BuildWithAE he is good
Are walls solid? (no cavity) if so would you not have rapped the ends in dpc. 🤷🏻♂️
Hi Mark,
The joists were only temporarily placed in. They were all wrapped prior to permanent fixing.
Hope this helps.
All the best, John 😊
Not sure thats necessary on an upstairs chamber floor is it?. Correct me if i'm wrong but a well maintained property shouldn't be getting any water on the ends of any upstairs floor joist.
Hi NB you are quite correct aproperty shouldn’t, but as we live in a real world this does not happen, the building is an amazing beautiful old building that needs some TLC as many old buildings do that’s what we do thanks for watching all the best Tony 👍
Build With A&E
Hi Tony/John really like the videos,never comment to have a go just ask questions, have been caught out before now. Thought it might have been some new timber that is heavily impregnated with something 🤷🏻♂️you guys are always coming up with new products.
@@markworthington3893 Thanks Mark! Glad you like the videos. Take care bud 👍
This is a great video, very informative and really enjoyed it thank you.
I have 1930s home. I suspect the floor joists are potentially rotten due to damp and condensation issues. It also needs a brand new boiler, pipework and radiators (full heating replacement). Can I do the plumbing over the winter or should I do the floor work first?
Thank you.
Fucking Amazing
How long do you plan to be on this site? Huge job😂
Hi Will about end of November depending on how well everything goes, which it seems to be doing at the moment thanks for watching all the best Tony 👍 have a awesome week
I was hoping you may have been able to re-use the joists by cutting a foot off each end and putting them in the slot behind (ie only replacing the longest one). I know you've done the job well, it's just I get sad seeing beautiful old timbers get taken out to the skip!
Hi frogeye,
It would of been great to be able to re-use them, but unfortunately there was far too much rot and woodworm in them to safely do so.
All the best, John 😊
What causes a creeky floor board? I need repairs doing in my home i just dont know what needs fixing 😢
Hi James we’re the boards creaking tap the nail or screw home, check for pipe runs and electrical wires if you going to put additional fixings in all the best Tony 👍
@@BuildWithAE thanks, so nails might of lifted away from the floorboards pretty much and just need tapping back down? Thanks for your help :)
No dpm around the ends of the new joists. Other than that...ideal
Think you should have wrapped them joists with dpc
That's the ends in wall
Hi Robert,
The joists were only temporarily placed, they were wrapped in DPM before they were permanently fixed.
Thanks for watching.
All the best, John 😊
Amazing the lengths you go to but I don’t get how you can make money doing it. You clearly are so good for you. Amazing stuff as always
Hi Joshua I suppose we price the projects correctly, also jobs can be set in other ways if it helps you and you client like cost Plus as some people do but this has to be well organised thanks for watching all the best Tony 👍 have awesome week
Build With A&E I’m glad you do. Great seeing places being brought back to their best. Not gutted and modernised. Have a good one
Can you try and keep the camera more still .... i'm feeling seasick! Great video apart from that ....
Chip board?🤔
Hi Paulheliflyer OSB is widely used for I-beam timber joists, plus it’s then glued and screwed thanks for watching all the best Tony 👍
Love your videos and they are very informative but the health and safety is shocking.... No safety boots, dust masks or knee pads..... You guys are important and your health is something you should not compromise on especially when safety kit is cheap as chips.....
Disagree! Why at this point of a job would anyone be wear site boots, ruining new floors? Your point begs the question how old you are. From a personal point of view my knees are as hard as nails, I've never worn knee pads or ever felt the need to, whether flooring, screeding or anything else.
@@TheMarky63 I don't understand the point you are making..... Health and Safety is important for everyone and if you don't want to take that on board then when an accident happens, you only have yourself to blame and no one else.
I've had a broken toe and it hurts but the point is it puts you out of action and you can't work which mean no money coming in....
You say your knees are hard as nails..... good luck with that when you are older and they are shot..... You will remember this conversation.
