Fantastic work there lads! That floor looks spotless! And a nice little tip there for the wall stater ties 👌 Have a brilliant week chaps! Also Alex, you had me proper laughing at the end😂😂😂👌
Great work there the slab went amazing and you don’t need profiles Steve u smashed those bricks out from that mix ! Thanks for upload Steve and Alex top insight to slab construction 👏
You could comb your hair in the shine the concrete pads got. Love the humour Alex brings to the video and he does quite a bit about the job now describing what your doing. If I was lucky enough to win the lottery I would ask you pair to do the work on the new Bungalow plus others I follow joiners, plumbers, electrics etc as they all do the job as if it was for themselves. Looking forward to the next video.
Good tips there lads everything is done very well as usual. Alex we have been caught messing about so many times by the client especially doing a silly dance .You have to have a laugh mate had me laughing there a few times well done mate .You and the old fella a top team 🤣🤣🤣 dont tell im i called im old 🤣🤣 its only one of the things i get called . Brilliant boys 👍💯🏴🏴🧱
Alex being a full on weirdo really adds a fun side to the videos. Just shows you can do a top job and have a bit of a mess about as well. When the mug came up in front of the camera I laughed my head off.
Amazed the difference in building regulations over England. we haven't been able to use jablite for 5 year here in Yorkshire it doesn't meet u values in fact it hasn't even got a u value. Good job boys
I wish you guys lived down here in Kent. I love your work, and we want to convert our conservatory with its timber joist floor into a full extension. Seeing how you guys work would give us full confidence in getting the job done properly.
Great vid! Silly question - what happens to the excess concrete you scooped into the wheelbarrow after tamping? I’m assuming the mixer truck didn’t hang around to collect any excess?? Many thanks.
Nice job as always lads. As you usually finish the concrete to ff height i was wondering if you ever feel the need to use one of those concrete floats on a boom so you can give it extra trowels as it firms up later on? Maybe on bigger floors.
Not allowed to use jablite in our area, build control hate it.!.! Pir only.! I was taught never to put wallties on dpc course.? Also cavity insulation to extend below floor level…. Must be different in your area.? Like the way you finish your slab though, beats a powerfloat.!
Wish I’d have know about missing out the cavity wall where the door is, when I did my extension floors Steve. Explains why I had damp coming up. I had to dig out and redo the DPM under that area. Is it normal practice to miss those out Steve? Wish building control,had pointed it out to me. Andrew
The DPM can this be laid in two parts with an overlap and taped both sides? As I’m building a large shed base/ man cave/ sleeping area for when I’m in the dog house lol!
Nice setup work for the concrete. The concrete mix looks pretty wet...maybe a 6 slump? Long setup and cure time I'd expect. I'm still surprised you can get away without having to put steel mesh or rebar down on the pad... Nice finish work guys! Silly question, what grade/mix of concrete do you usually specify? Cheers from Texas!
i can see the inner skin closing the cavity on the right hand side, will this allow damp ? i am just starting to learn brickwork so would like to know, thanks
Brilliant video chaps. I'll be doing basically the same for a project at the back of the garden this year - so seeing it all coming together and up to DPC was very handy and timely. Couple of questions... Why do you use the jablite instead of PIR in the floor? Also, at around the 11:15 mark where you lay the DPM on the sand, you have laid the big sheets of jablite 'inside/on top of' the DPM - but you have the upstands 'outside' the DPM and touching the blockwork. Is there a specific reason for this - or is this the standard way of doing it? I always thought that the DPM ran right to the blockwork and the upstands were fitted 'inside' the DPM.
Great channel lads Can you clear up a query for me please? When doing an extension with a concrete/screed floor but the existing house has a timber floor so ff level is usually above dpc level. Do you set the dpc on the extension to the ff level of the house or to the dpc level of the house. I’ve seen both used just wondered what your thoughts were steve ? Thanks
Thanks for answering, so internally you screed above your dpc then? Sorry to question it but I did my extension the way you said but then I’ve seen/read some that set the extension Dpc at ffl of existing house so they don’t screed above dpc in the extension? Thanks
@@neilu.k.1364 unfortunately I can’t help with this one as I’ve never screeded a floor or done a slab that needed a screed so I’m not really qualified to answer unfortunately .😬🧱👍🏽
Great work guys.

Hi buddy . The slab is supported by the hardcore so isn’t a suspended slab .
We tell the concrete lads if it’s a slab or a footing 🧱👍🏽
Suspended concrete floors often use precast prestressed concrete T beams with high density blocks between. Insulation and screed go over the top.
