3:05 ❤ Glad I found a channel that appreciates the thermodynamics of a building

5:21 ❤

Really great video, thank you. Building in the UK seems so expensive. Did this £85k extension increase the value of your property by at least £85k? Just curious! Thanks

Thank you for the infor on studwork measurements but how do you work out sizes for timber lintels, which go over windows, doorways on the first floor.

What about a galvelume metal roof?

Really useful content. Forgive a novice DIYers question - where in this method would you create the fall on the roof? We have a very leaky flat garage roof with no fall but sound joists, which we are hoping we can strip back to and install this system. We were initially going to install firrings and then OSB over the top, but i think a full warm roof will put us over the height restrictions.

Tell building control

Advising on how something should be built without ever building anything. Your what we call a nightmare client

Advising a client to watch over a bricklayer every few hours and get them to take down work lol. Erm

Wish I found this channel before I started my self build Beautifully explained Well done

im from the nordics, Denmark specifically, when in most commercial settings, the roof is actually considered as the vapour barrier, with the inside ceiling being structural perforated steel, with the insulation laying on top and then more often than not, asfalt based roofing systems being burned straight onto the insulation. i have never seen a professional roofing company use any glue or peel and stick roofing product, its all old fashioned 2-3 layer asfalt based roofs. the walls are then mostly precast concrete, which go half to one meter further up than the roof itself, and the asfalt based products are bonded onto this rising bit of the wall, allowing the entire roof surface to act as the gutter and control the water, since water management has become a much bigger issue these years with heavier downpour

THANK YOU ..HONEST TRUTHFULL CORRECT INFORMaTION .IV JUST fOUND YOUR CHANAL....do you have any information on building a full build ,how best to insulate a wooden garden room.?❤

Can TR27 be used?

Can you get SIPS panels made with real 3/4" plywood rather than OSB?

Been doin many warm roofs over the years and thankful no problem. Torch on direct to torch insulation. Bulletproof system if done correctly of course

Yeh. But to get the airing above the insulation to work with a draft, on a totally flat roof. You can use a little trick. Mount aircanals on top standing up. Because then you get a level difference on intake and outake, and it becomes a draft towards it. So you need to let air come between the compartments at the end to reach the canal. Depending on how many canals you need. Just a cut in the wood, but dont cut the beam. That is often the issiue with flat roofs. Not getting airflow going. King Ragnar YAHUWAH ❤

Hi, did the cost breakdown for brick and block quote £10 for a plasterer, yet a few hundred for the timber frame plasterer ?

Hi, great video. I am planning on (self) building a 4x5 m TF single story rear extension. Would you be kind enough to let me know if below would be enough to pass building reg reqs ? 1. Foundation = 500 mm x 150mm concrete footings + 1 concrete block wall to dpc 2. Base : 90mm concrete + 70mm pir insulation + 30mm screed 3. Walls : 5x2 treated timber + 100mm pir insulation + 11mm osb outside + 12mm plasterboard Cladding : cement board cladding on the front + box profile roofing sheets on the side Roof : 6x2 treated timber + 125mm pir insulation + 18mm osb + epdm rubber Do you think this will be enough to suffice BR requirements ? What’s the required U-value by BR in England :) thanks

Don't they have ZIP System or something similar in the UK? Your vapor and water barrier are part of the roof sheathing. Insulation goes on top. Then furring strips to support your roof panels (or another layer of ZIP if you're laying shingles).

Absolutely superb videos. Love your openness and honesty

Excellent video....thank you. Question. I want to build a deck over a sun-room. Would the insulated panels be ok to install decking materials and support the weight of people using it for a patio deck?

What about the new multi foil details im seeing these days

Loved tip number 6 It earned your a like

You made some good points, but I have a couple for you . 1 what about walk on balcony roofs, straight insulation is not strong enough. 2. Your laying 150mm in 1.2m sq sheets, it would be better to use 2 layers of 75mm x 2.4x1.2m with an offset stagger, to eliminate direct bridging through every butt joint and bigger but still manageable sheets to cut cut down on overall joints. Your proposed way may meet code but you're ignoring that in the Timber statement, for a maximised performance?

Didn't know about the timber top deck. I love a resin roof bit my eldest says they are poop, his too so many rotten decks and boldness the resin system. He swears by three layers of torch on. Defo gonna send him this vid. And enquire about tissue backed pir. Don't think I've ever seen it in my local builders yards. 👍🏻

Hi, my loft is quite large and the rafters have been insulated with rockwool from a previous owner and it is in good condition. The rafters are not very deep they measure 70mm. I’ve put my hand in behind the insulation and it touches the membrane, so no air gap. The property is a purpose built 1950’s maisonette and the membrane is a black bitumen type. As it would be quite expensive to pull all this insulation down and refit a more rigid PIR, should I leave it up and just increase the rafter depth by fixing a baton to the rafters and readjusting the rockwool forward allowing the necessary air gap between the membrane and the insulation? Many thanks for any advice from yourself or from any of your followers. Nikki

Thanks for the video. I am thinking about a flat roof using tapered insulation. I will then put pedestals and a rail system on top to support paving slabs - what should I use to spread the load of the pedestals so it doesn't cause issues to the roof. Just to note, the finished roof will be a liquid rubber roof.

For the warm roof design Over joist is 12mm ply good or osb ? Thanks

I'm a little confused: In the case of a warm deck, the vapour barrier prevents moisture in the warm air in the living space from getting to the insulation and beyond, so where does the moisture that's going to rot the underside of the top layer of OSB come from?

This could be perceived as being over the top but we used to triangulate the corners, this does increase the structural strength significantly. Our Architect had never witnessed this technique before. It could be argued that it is unnecessary but I would argue the case for it, it requires a very small amount of work & material.

Isn't the vapor and moisture not going to just make its way to the top of the roof joists and then condense on the vapour barrier and cause them to rot? the same way the OSD deck on the first one would have rotted?

Great video and explanation. Instead of OSB on top can we use a cement board or "tile baker board" for smoother finish? I believe this will not rot with moisture

I think they nailed my chip boards in, i think that's why they creek and squeak. I'm going to loft the carpet later. If they are, would replacing nails with screws be a good idea?

Outstanding

Outstanding

Thanks for the amazing information. I have done a flat roof with “Alutrix VCL and 150mm ecotherm on top , and I was planning to install the OSB on top. Now that I saw your video, I am thinking to not put the OSB but I don’t want to throw the ecotherm that I installed. Can I put a 25mm tissued insulation mechanically fixed on top and then membrane?? Thank you in advance.

What is better partial filled cavity insulation or fully filled cavity insulation, thanks

Hi Jerry, for brick and block cavity insulation structure do we need any vapour for the wall, if yes where. Similarly for a concrete floor do we need WB and where to put it? Thanks

what are you qualifications and how did you get where you are, would be an interesting video

what is the software at 1:45

Thanks for the helpful video. Could please explain what you mean by "strategic points" in relation to where you placed the vents - how do you determine where these are? Also, what type of vents would you recommend? Are Lap vents suitable?

Doesn't permitted development allow 3m roof height at the eaves? Where is the 2.5m coming from?

We use this method well almost, our way is upside down to yours, 120mm pir between the joists flush with the bottom of the joists then over boarded with 8ftx4ft 30mm pir then plaster board over that, the air gap between the under side of the deck and the top of the pir is fully ventilated through soffit vents and if necessary mushroom vents depending which way the joist run, and after 13 years no problems so far, touch wood. Great info though, thank you

This is the best video on subfloor I've seen. I'm about to replace a tongue and groove water stained and mouldy floor in my holiday shack. Thankyou for the info! Also need to reset some footing levels while I'm at it so that'll add some complexity.

That splice beam detail is essentially a mechanism, two mechanisms actually and should not have been agreed.... Also I need to increase my fees, by 100% seemingly

Having read the strong boys loading data and being a structural engineer, I concur.... they are pretty rubbish

How do the roof vents work if outside air has moisture?

Great content on this channel thank you 👍👍
