Thanks Steve, I watched all you garage builds and got some very useful tips. Great to learn from each other. Im still learning lol. Up to Warrington after this to do an extension so be asking you where the best places etc are👍🧱
Great channel, really good to watch a skilled professional at work. Love the explanations. Went a bit quiet for a while with few uploads....and I missed watching them. Good to see you are uploading again.
I feel your pain with builders merchants brother.. we’re still here on site waiting for a ‘first drop’ delivery from last Wednesday ! Great video as ever
Watching this in preparation for starting my own project. Is there any reason the blocks were upright on the first section you did, but laid flat on the other side of the garage? Thanks for the very useful videos 😎
Just a quick question. Can you put kingspan or insulation on top of the visqueen/damproof before the concrete goes in to stop heatloss through the floor of the garage is attached to the house?
Yes, I did this on the extension to this house earlier in the year. The floor needed to come up to the level of the room in the house when it was knocked through, I put insulation in before the concrete was poured to bring it up to the house floor level.
Hi mate, my client had plans drawn but didn’t need planning or building regs, the only issue was a tree this had to be agreed for it to e chopped down and thats all building control wanted
This is the go-to video for footings and setting up. Brilliant content.
Thank you, much appreciated 👍

I did this for extra strength because of the trees!
Top job👍

Thanks for sharing. So in cm how deep is the concrete?
FND 225; Garage Floor slab 100mm
Hello Chris,
Amazing craftsmanship! How can I get in contact with you regarding a similar job?
messenger or email…I don’t travel long distance though!
No strengthening of the floor slab?
Hi, nice work. Did I miss the part of not using a mesh in the concrete layer?
First video where I was excavating the foundations, we’re placing the fabric mesh in to the concrete
have you ever used the 3.4.5 method to set your base square ;;
Yes always double check using that method👍
once this is right then all your corners & size must be right & from corner to corner it never fails ;
How wide is trench please ?
Width of the digger bucket which was 300mn wide!
What is the “DPC?”
It is the damp proof membrane stops rising damp
Hi chris looking to do this myself did you get planning permission and drawings or would you not bother. Thanks
Hi mate, my client had plans drawn but didn’t need planning or building regs, the only issue was a tree this had to be agreed for it to e chopped down and thats all building control wanted
