Amazing! Can’t believe you started at 10:30pm, if I work that late that’s when things start going wrong 😬🙈
Here's a man who spends more time detailing a workshop floor than most people spend on the entire workshop haha well done tim
Music made me think I was watching a Scott Brown video for a minute, awesome workshop Tim!
This is going to be such a high quality workshop. Not jealous at all... 🙄
nor me, not even a little bit.........😍
That’s a lot of work for a workshop floor. However that beautiful frame deserves it. So jealous in my damp garage!
Ive said it before and cant say it enough. Your attention to detail is really second to none . Keep the videos coming please .
Glad I came across this, we need to do 3 rms and are doing them ourselves, you explained it well.
Looks brilliant Tim, well done on persevering with it. I always said a very clean workshop is a very under used workshop!
Looks nice enough to live in never mind work in 💕
Proper job Tim, great to see the results 😎👍✅
Another fantastic job, you do know when you move out of the temporary workshop it’s another big job in there to fix it for Jo
I know, starts today!
This is looking really good now and can't wait to see how your lights and electrics went in.
First comment! I love this project, I’m starting smaller in my shed but love the inspiration here.
Not only was the floor impressive the quality of the video was amazing quality too! I’m looking forward to the moving in ...not long now! 🙋🏻♀️💕🇬🇧jane
You're a bloody machine. Respect!
Lighting looks awesome
Looks fabulous - can't spot the distribution box for the electrics - looking forward to the next episode.
Tim you might have realised you could devote the rest of your life to building workshops for everyone . . .
All to be revealed soon! 👍
How you’ve got that finish when I can’t get a decent finish on my bottle top whiskey barrel top is beyond me haha 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
That's looks fantastic Tim
I was too eager and started moving equipment and benches into my workshop before I painted the floor. And now I can't be bothered :D
I know, I had to stay strong as I knew that I would never have another shot at it!
Just about to start grinding for floor leveling compound, there are some hairline cracks and bumpy bits so got my work cut out , like the job you've done looks brilliant thanks for uploading the video really helpful 👍
Looking good!!
I want one!
6,000 plus though for a quality job.
Well done 👍
Awesome workshop!
Great job looks great! I have experience with using epoxy resins. The one you flood coat with is definitely a different type. Typically, designer flooring and countertop, you would use the coating epoxy. River table would use a casting epoxy.
Garage / workshop floor paint typically is thinned out coating epoxy with pigment added into it. High end show room uses the coating epoxy and gives it that high gloss finish. The thinned out epoxy definitely don’t have the thickness to cover those fibres you were talking about, but more than good enough for garage and workshop floors
great job and looking good.
Great video as usual. In an ideal world I would have liked to try epoxy on mine but I was short of time to move inand it was a case of get paint locally and crack on. If you don't finish it before you move your gear in its never done! Its held up not too bad.
Had a resin floor in my 7m x9m garage 4 years been brilliant
Nicest shop ever 😉
Great job
Can’t wait to see this fitted out are you going to be doing some shop furniture builds I hope so can’t wait to see what you come up with👍
Great job
Maybe try getting a 12inch roller, a whole load easier on bigger jobs!!
Great vid as always 😁👍
Nice job.
The finish looks great! What type of self levelling screed did you use?
As a perfectionist, it is possible to go a little overboard. as my son does also. Except he has OCD.
It's going well
Interested to see what you'll think about that lighting after working under it.
Interested to know if you considered other flooring material such as rubber matting and why you opted for epoxy in the end
Hi, very nice job. My garage has been recently levelled, do I need to use the paint only , thanks
Not surprised it took so long to dry Tim; you have created an almost hermetically sealed box ?
have you considered a drywall sander for doing large areas? We moved into a 1940s house with solid plaster but years of assorted paint and wallpaper adhesive (and a fair bit of No More Nails for some reason). Huge range of grit sizes, 12" discs and the Henry connected straight to it so dust was minimal. It made short work of the walls and the downstairs floors to level off for laminate flooring. Well worth the £60 or so I paid for it in a Toolstation sale.
Yeah almost bought one for this however decided to use.. and break my 180mm sanding head for the polisher! 😀
NOOICE!

Normally, the primer is also a notional dpm coat to provide a barrier against moisture affecting the top coats. Even though you may have laid a dpm under the slab, did you check the moisture content? Even new slabs that have been laid for 12 months or more often have a high moisture content.
You would be wise not to go for a smooth floor as epoxy floors can become skating rinks due to liquids, condensation, dust etc This is further compounded by the use of polymer soiled footwear like trainers that seem to polish the floor in trafficked areas. I would have added a fine sand to the top coat to give a reliable non-slip surface. I have experience of the issues I raise on several projects where epoxy floor coatings have mistakenly been seen as a panacea to providing a smooth pretty hardwearing floor finish. The last problem epoxy floor had to be Blastrac'd and recoated with a non-slip finish because it had become dangerous.
Looks great. I’m thinking of the kingspan panels, do you think you could plasterboard inside if you fixed to a timber frame and add rockwool, or do you think that may cause condensation on the interior metal?
if this was anything but a workshop I would just bond plasterboard straight to the inner skin, or over battens if needed for a service cavity.
Hello, I have a garage 4m x6m, just wondering if you used more than one set of either the primer or the epoxy for your floor? I couldn’t see in the video if you mentioned using multiple or not, thanks in advance
Could you help answer some questions for me.
I have a new build house and garage and want to do the same.
Double garbage
So here are a few questions:
1) do I need to self level?
2) do I need to primer
3) how much does the 5L cover? Basically do I need 10L or the 5L
Thanks
Plenty of saw dust will cover any imperfections 😁
Thats what I'm hoping!
I'm disappointed that you didn't quickly make a set of spiked soles from ply offcuts and nails 😔 .... 😄
Nice video. Why did you hover in your socks? Would it be dangerous? Or is it to keep dust of the floor?
If kept clean then it should be easy to find stuff when you drop it
Great video I'll be doing this at some point. When you say suitable screed. What did you use? Do you prime between the concrete and screed with anything?
Just needs to end up porous to make sure the epoxy takes to it well. There is an acrylic sealer before the self levelling.
BTW, why no flakes? Are they just decoration or do they add any protection or grip to the floor?
Have you finished the Ridge yet and if so are you planning to show this being completed?
Still waiting, trying to use a local supplier but they are absolutely shocking at customer service so may order elsewhere but will show it all done when I install gutter.
😀
Hi, this looks brilliant!
I’m considering building replacement dog kennels using the panels you have used. Out of interest, how do you find it sound wise inside? I’m wondering if that kind of panel would bounce the sound amount inside.
Thanks for your videos we really enjoy them - although I think I will be banned soon as you give too many ideas!!
nice workshop what size is the shop
Do you have a tally in your head for the whole project? That's a pretty nice space.
Well the video a couple of weeks covered everything apart from the floor paint and electrics.
Quick question, what self leveller did you use? I have a 30m2 kitchen diner to do so I could do with a bulk solution!
Great video, as always! I am incredibly jealous of the workshop 🙂.
Guessing your UK based? The most readily available floor leveller is the mapei renovation screed at screwfix, it's a great all-rounder for around £18 a bag, you'd probably need between 5 and 10 bags depending on thickness. Don't forget primer too 👍✌️
@@rossmale8715 I am indeed. Used Mapei products before and found them to be good. Didn't realise they did self leveller. 👍
@@jamesmarriott750 yes mate you can't go wrong,they do one that's like a tenner a bag but the renovation screed is fibre reinforced and designed to go over various backgrounds. A spikey roller always helps too if you can get one 👍
I have a spiked roller... never used and new in box! 🤭
is the floor isolated?
What's it like for heat? Is it always cold? I've much the same set up as yourself. I'm going to do the floor the weekend. I'll be part using my space as remote working. Wondering with the Epoxy floor will it always be cold. Floor is brand new with 100mm insulation inside the concrete
Depends how you heat it. If used often the floor will always retain a certain amount of ‘warmth’. Not sure I’d use it if it’s an office space though as it will always feel cooler than regular flooring types unless UFH.
@@TheRestorationCouple makes sense. Thanks for reply. Videos have been really helpful
Hey, how are you getting on with your floor. I just used the same product floorsaver and a couple of weeks in I'm noticing it scratches and chips incredible easy. Not the durable finish I was expecting at all. I'm be interested in hearing how you got on with yours - not counting the screw under the bandsaw ;-) of course?
How did you prep the floor?
@@maqib2542high quality leveller and then the primer they sold
Wait, who worries about fibres on a floor (workshop floor) this much?! 😳😂
The one that has to sweep up sawdust at the end of the day. 👍
00:04 I wouldn't say the floor was that bad... oh... EEEE-poxy.
Great video, but kill that music track.
nobody will notice the difference once you put tables and saws and whatnots in there,complete waste of money and time in my eyes tim mate
Tim will notice the difference and that's all that matters.
It stops dust. I have concrete floor and it just constantly creates dust.
Viewers of future videos will notice. Clean-ups will be easier, and sweeping will produce less dust than an untreated concrete floor. It'll be a nicer working environment also. Worth all the effort, time and money.
@@noiseache7720 every body to there own mate
You will notice if you drop some engine oil. No epoxy = soaked in permanent stain. Epoxy = surface pool thats easier to clean up.
Love your videos but please, please ditch the music - sounds like a hideously out of tune piano!
i totally agree that non copywrite music does my head in.
Great job 👍 glad you pointed out the lighting I thought some of the panels had slipped and were letting in light from outside 😂
