When you cut the rafter tails to a line you could set the line 44mm back from your finished length then rip a piece of timber down and stitch it on the ends of the rafters which will give you a fixing point for your plywood and will be more solid behind your fascia detail, good video by the way lads
All the new regs on insulation are good if it's a new build, but i can't see the point if a house of that age or older don't match what's being added, i think there should be some leaway based on the age of the property, bearing in mind how expensive these new regs add to the cost.
@@mrabuilders6723 hello fellow tradesmen...i am a lobbyist. im here to stop your from doing anything until i get my pound of flesh(money). dodgy regulations that make no sense but cost a ton.....THANK ME
Thank you for your kind words Ray. We believe that showing everything we do on the channel even the mistakes helps maintain a good working relationship with our customers and our theory has proved to be correct so far 👍🏻
Enthusiast amateur and forgive possibly a silly question. Why not timber frame? Would it not be quicker? And is there not a possible problem with water ingress into the cavity insulation from the outside bricks? Loving the videos by the way.
I’m a massive fan of timber framing being a carpenter but not everyone is sold on it and some customers are hard to convince its a good way to build. Architects will generally design it out of traditional brick and blockwork. There’s no issue with the insulation getting wet mate no and there’s no such thing as a silly question you either know something or you don’t. We’re more than happy to answer your questions. Enjoy the rest of your weekend 👍🏻
Will damp get across from the outside brickwork, soak into the wool insulation, then go into the inside brickwork?. Should there be an air gap in outside walls like that? Water always finds a way doesn't it.
Double joist trimmer is far too light as a beam for that span. Wont fail but it will bend especially with a full snow load. And ends need well strapped down against wind uplift
Hi Gordon I’m sorry mate but I’m gonna have to disagree with you there. A double C24 over that span carrying the load put onto it is more than adequate. We don’t have anywhere near the snow load your talking about to have even a slight impact. What I can agree with you on is that it needs strapping down and it does and is shown in another episode. Thank you for commenting on our channel enjoy the rest of your weekend 👍🏻
Looking good boys and well explained. How are you going to seal the new roof to that wall as chasing a groove and inserting lead it is going to be hard?
what's happening to that cctv camera then? i've got the same set up and they removed the camera that was in the way but they couldn't get it apart as it's corroded together so hopefully you don't have the same issue
@@mrabuilders6723 spent a weekend with various implements attempting to get it apart but no luck and i'm loathe to cut it apart only to find there is no uk distributor for the parts and then needing to buy a PAIR as they won't sell them separately...
@@mrabuilders6723 it’s usually 1:40 max fall and 1:80 minimum fall so yes 1:60 is the middle ground. I’ve just done a flat roof on top of a mansard roof and that was specified 1:60 fall.
What is this extension going to be used for? It seems an odd size, not quite big enough for a dining area for example, amd looking at how big the garden is im surprised it's not 2m longer
Great to watch good tradesmen doing the job properly looking forward to the roof video
I recon Mick is on his phone buying some safety goggles to wear when he’s using that grinder !😂
He's got a spare eye ...
No seriously, get some safety glasses, please guys.

Brilliant video Rich, good tutorial and yeah fascias on warm roofs can be too big, good way to disguise that.
Brilliant workmanship as per lads👍🏻
Great job in explaining

I couldn’t agree with you more Keith sometimes it all seems a bit of a nonsense but what can we do other than comply 🤷👍🏻

most people think all builders are rip off tossers, but yous are spot on, theres always a valiid reason behind what you do
Thank you for your kind words Ray. We believe that showing everything we do on the channel even the mistakes helps maintain a good working relationship with our customers and our theory has proved to be correct so far 👍🏻
Very interesting never saw this type of roof before looking forward to next video
There must be a rule of the Universe that no matter how much bench space you have, it is never enough, cheers lads.
Gumball 3000 means the kids are getting in the way of my usual Sunday afternoon in getting of TH-cam so I'll catch this tomorrow now mate
Top stuff fellas.
Will you not get thermal bridging from the timber rafters being under the roof insulation and through the brickwork? Good video btw I've subbed :)
Hi David and thanks for subscribing. We won’t get thermal bridging mate no. 👍🏻
An interesting denomination of a ton there ;)
Loving the content ❤. New Subscriber 🎉😊

👍🏻 Happy days with the cladding, at least you don’t need to put in a cavity tray at the roof abutment.
Thanks for the explanations Richard 👍 Dislike that thin sheeting on the house. I think even MFI wardrobes were sturdier than that 😂
I know cost is king but the client should invest in new insulation and cladding. Then you can tie it all in nicely
PPE please guys. 👍🏻 Regards Mike
Sorry Mike hopeless aren’t we. We promise to try harder next time 😉👍🏻
Waiting for the new success
He should rub some Vick on his chest, he'd like Vick he's a big fella 😂😂😂
Looking good 👍

Above the wall plate instead of a nog should be pir board to stop cold spots looks a nice extension
We’ve put rock wool insulation in there which you’ll see in the next episode. Thanks for the comment 👍🏻

Hopefully it’ll all become clear next episode for you Kev 👍🏻
Great video, but don't understand why they specified such a small window?
It's the customers personal choice mate. No one can argue with that.
@@mrabuilders6723 Yep, understood :)

i've got the same set up and they removed the camera that was in the way but they couldn't get it apart as it's corroded together so hopefully you don't have the same issue
Luckily ours was all good and the wire came down from the soffit so it was an easy move. 👍🏻

With it being a warm roof will you still need ventilation ?
It’s not required for a warm roof Karl no 👍🏻
How much does something like this cost the customer?
What will the drop be on the firing strips bud ? being as it is technically a flat roof
1:60 ratio is mentioned most these days
It depends where you look and who you talk to. I’ve been told 1:40 to achieve 1:80 what ever that means. Maybe that’s where 1:60 comes from 😂

You boys don’t like scaffold do you 😂

Can you stop moving the camera about you make me feel sick with all the movement. Plus buy your mate some safety glasses for cutting with a disc.
