Check that outside tap..😂
What ?
@@SteveAndAlexBuild It's either green copper pipe or green garden hose coming through the wall.
@@martynbuzzing3327 I think its a DIY tap
@Bricklaying With Steve and Alex That's alright, until it freezes up, bursts and the leaks when it thaws out..lol
@@martynbuzzing3327 why is that funny ?
Great stuff love it dave lreland

S&A, no wonder that inspector would come to you guys at a drop of a hat, he knows he’s not going to inspect work from the average muppet builder, 👍, I’m a supervisor and work in construction for a big player and I know my way around good standards, wether it’s building a road, a footpath, or 10k of drainage, you guys have pride and quality, I love a small family concern delivering high standards, absolutely brilliant gents.
Thanks very Rob , much appreciated 🙏🏽🧱👍🏽
Beautiful work!
Cheers 🧱👍🏽
Another great job guys. People might not appreciate the value of a clean job, but you do it well.
Thanks Paul 🧱👍🏽
The jobs coming on lovely now. That slab is a work of art. Looking forward to seeing the brickwork go up. Another smooth day - the memory of that awful dig is fading by the day. Dave Birmingham.
Absolutely Dave 😁🧱👍🏽
Its great when the brick colour matches. It makes all the difference.
Definitely Bob it can make or break a job 🧱👍🏽
Hi Steve & Alex. Looking good. Working on a Sunday. Good to get concrete in. Good day indeed Alex. Have a good weekend👍
Nice bud John boy 🤙🏾🧱👍🏽
Nice job on the floor Steve and Alex. Your brick work is always top notch!
😁🤜🏽🤛🏽🧱👍🏽
What an absolute fact filled episode Chaps! Was impressed with how you’re overcoming the challenges of the old ‘levels’. I had the same problem many years back with an old railway property, the gable had ‘sagged’, and the rectification was to ‘Stick to new levels’, otherwise it would have been a nightmare of a dogs dinner to look at! Again, Chaps, well done, and so informative.
Thanks very much Paul 🧱👍🏽
Well on you way and it’s looking good It’s always nice to be able to end the day a little early
It’s certainly it mark 😁🧱👍🏽
Also your lucky to be able take fences out to get your building materials in right place sure makes life a lot easier
It was very awkward craning over that huge hedge but great to keep everything off the footpath 🧱👍🏽
Cracking big job so many things to remember and all the measurements brilliant stuff.👍👍👍😎😎😎
Cheers Richard 👍🏽🧱
Brilliant job Steve and Alex waiting for part six😮
Cheers Ray 👍🏽🧱
Awesome work. You deserve a great reputation.
Thanks Guy 🤙🏾👍🏽🧱
Thanks again for the video, great job
Cheers Sandy 🧱👍🏽
Awesome work guys, perfection at its best 👍
🤜🏽🤛🏽🧱👍🏽😁
you can tell you are both well trained when you make sure everything is in it proper place it great to know there are builders like you two who care and if I wanted work done and would i choose you two, dammed hell I would .thanks for the video
Thanks Eddie 🤜🏽🤛🏽🧱👍🏽
Making them slabs look easy now lads, cracking job
Cheers Stuart, it’s all in the editing 😆🧱👍🏽
The job is looking quite nice now with all the woodwork on the top
😁🧱👍🏽
Excellent work the pair of you
Thanks Steve 🧱👍🏽

Nice work on the perimeter insulation for the slab. 👍
😁🤙🏾🧱👍🏽
Nice to see the right amount of concrete no good paying for what you throw away, thanks for the vid I enjoyed it,
Cheers Ken 🤙🏾🤙🏾🧱👍🏽
top grafters lads. end of.👍
Cheers Gaz 🤜🏽🤛🏽👍🏽🧱
Brilliant job, great tips especially about the brick course for the littles. That gauging was way off I find this with some of the 70s and early 80s builds, they laid and measured now and then lol. Loved the end bit where you just chucked tools into the van, I do the same it made me chuckle 🧱👏⚒👍
Cheers Chris, there were some strange practices back in the 60s/70s . Weird gauges , crap lintels … NO lintels . Still it’s keeping Alex and I busy now . 😆.
We are trying to help out guys with the new regs as we gradually get our head round them . 😵💫🧱👍🏽
love the way you take care of your name, by the good way you work
Thanks Jack 🧱👍🏽😁
Cracking work lads looks top quality as always. Cheers for the video take care
Cheers Hayden 🧱👍🏽
@@SteveAndAlexBuild You’re welcome Steve and Alex. Hope you all are doing well 👍🏻
@@haydenuk02 🧱👍🏽
I’ve always found it works out cheaper using the 90mm interlocking celotex for the cavity, rather than 100mm rock wool and insulated PB. Prob with 150mm cavity’s is getting hold of the wider catnics…
🧱👍🏽
have a look at the hot knife for cutting that insulation, no mess. Also EPS sheets are half the price of celotex and work brick.
👍🏽🧱
Chaps, for the next extension you do, I'd be interested in seeing how you work back from the existing FFL to the new slab FFL and the bottom of the foundations. I think I know how I'd go about it, but would be great to see professionals doing it.
Noted 🧱👍🏽
Good ol boys
🧱👍🏽
Great work as usual S&A, very professional and would have work done by you guys any day of the week and even twice on Sunday, you both are a credit to the building industry and your customers must be be so happy with you guys 👍
Thanks very much Rob 🙏🏽🧱👍🏽
6" cavity? They're slowly getting wider 😄 well done you two.
Yeah getting daft now 🧱👍🏽
@@SteveAndAlexBuild been norm here in Ireland. Big difference in price too for longer ties
@@Derekryan456 yeah more money all the time 🙄🧱👍🏽
Imperial bricks to meter bricks you done right thing by going your gage lot brick layers from site work haven’t clue they have over killed it with building regulations these days
Cheers Trevor 🧱👍🏽
Looking pretty tidy
Ta kev 🧱👍🏽
FLASHBACKS from the days in the footings..😮
😆👍🏽🧱
I did an extension with two mate mine and they give him two options use insulated plasterboard or have wider cavitys he double insulated it I bet there not mega difference in what ever way you do it with price rise in materials I been in building trade since leaving school in 2002 and I always like watching your video learning new tips and idea of doing things
There are loads of Options . Maybe after a while we will settle into solid rules we all follow Instead of guessing what’s best .
Glad you enjoy the channel pal thanks for watching 😁👍🏽🧱
nice bit of concreat.
🤙🏾🤙🏾👍🏽🧱
Seems a good way of doing it like that.
I’ve always been used to h/c over site then concreting it. Then once you knock through put your insulation and a final screed to the right height.
Seems a long drawn process now looking back at it😂👍🏻
Cheers Mark 😆😆🧱👍🏽
iv worked on a few extensions where the builder just assumes the existing brickwork is level and expects you to just follow the courses !
Very common unfortunately 🙄🧱👍🏽
SLO-MO gauge 🤔🤔🤔 interesting
🧱👍🏽
Fantastic job. This is coming along nicely. Every extension is different with the constant changing in regs. All trades are hit with them every year. When will they be happy? Will be interesting to see how the cavities fair with all the insulation.
It’s all a learning curve Nigel 😵💫👍🏽🧱
Always striving to do the best job
Thanks mark 🙏🏽🧱👍🏽
@@SteveAndAlexBuild i just work like you try to the best with the materials you have weathef and all that people will mock but you will all ways get that great that the lad works with you and wants to learn good on you both
@@markkilshaw1038 cheers mark 🧱👍🏽
At what stage of the slab do you need the building control inspection ?
Pre pour 👍🏽🧱
Thanks 👍 great videos
looking well gents ,,steve do a show explaining to us mortals why 2 cpcs why bridging strips etc what you mean by run in course etc n just all the terms you come out with,,i asked why the trees had to come out a viewer had to explain it come on finger out lol
Will do 😆😉🧱👍🏽
Can you use those fibolites on the external skin? The 3.6n ones with the yellow stripe.
Cheers boys. Great video 👌
You can mate up to 3 stories I believe. 7 n concretes a big no no now for Insulation. Thank god 😆😆🧱👍🏽
Nice job as always lads.
I was wondering how do you judge how much concrete to have poured before they leave? It looks like you judged it perfectly here.
Cheers Mark. We just judge it by eye then take a barrow full in our own barrow
There is a house around the corner that had a gas fire explosion that thing with a guy said the house on fire and they had to knock it all down. Would be nice if you could get that job when they sort it out and rebuild it
Seen it what a mess 😳🧱👍🏽
Tidy van lads 🙈🙈🙈
😉🧱👍🏽
Sometimes you that bolloxed after work, you just fire them anywhere.
@@markotoole323 very true 😆🤙🏾🤙🏾🧱👍🏽
Nice work guys, have you thought about doing 90mm pir insulation with a 10mm gap? Been doing that for the past year. Always tried to keep at least 25mm gap in the past but it is shown to be the other option rather than 150mm fibreglass and building control suggested it.
Saves a little bit of space on the internal.
I’m still weighing up the options . I hate blockwork first and it’s mega bucks for that stuff and the tape it needs . I’ve used the mineral wool since I was an apprentice 1988 😬, I suppose I’m stuck in my ways 😆🧱
@Bricklaying With Steve and Alex it is pain to put in compared to the rock wool. Always gone for that option over pir, but our clients seem to be happy to pay extra for the materials and labour included in it to save the 100mm of space 👍
@@sonnythatcher 👍🏽🧱
Quality video again! Just curious what tape you use to tape down the corners and cuts of your visqueen/dpm?
Thanks pal, its just basic gaffa tape from screw fix , great for sticking visqueen 🤙🏾👍🏽🧱
Serious question - given how relatively small the out of level condition is on the original house, is there any functional reason why you could not match it with the new work (tradecraft aside, of course)?
It’s was 20 mm out of level but 85 mm out of gauge 🧱👍🏽
When you do your concrete slab for your oversight do you not leave it down 75 mil for your screed? Or is your concrete? The finish level.
Concrete finished floor pal 🧱👍🏽

love the channel lads. Top blokes.
❤
@@martingaynor5017 thanks Marin 🧱👍🏽
That was an easy watcher today from my chair anyway.😁 You two were a lot more relaxed after the previous episodes. If cavities are going to be 350 is it still ok for foundations to be 600 ?
No Doug , dig needs to be 650 min now 🥵🥵🧱👍🏽
@@SteveAndAlexBuild Oh thanks for that. Just wondering how much benefit there is from an extra 50 mm🙄🤔
@@Doug.... loads of benefits for the insulation industry and suppliers 🙄🧱👍🏽
@@SteveAndAlexBuild Agree👍
I opt for the 90m kingspan cavity insulation now, still 100 m cavity and no insulated plasterboard. Awkward to use and ridiculously expensive but the client pays in the end. Regs have gone mad, used to be breath now full fill. Causing probs with condensation
Yeah we used that when we worked down with A & E, ok on big flat walls with no windows but I hate blockwork first 😒😒🧱👍🏽
Not a brickie but enjoying all the builds and steels. Still cant fathom why you added those thin slips on the inner course after making a big deal on setting up coming out of the trench. What have i missed, wouldn't you have either had slightly higher footings or gauge to achieve same thing?
It was all explained in previous episodes 🧱👍🏽
@@SteveAndAlexBuild I've only recently found this channel so if you'd do me the favour of pointing to a particular episode or just a "tiny" summary I would be greatful...thanks
@@Stormin_Mike If you just go back to episode 1 and watch through it will be explained along the way somewhere 👍🏽🧱
I bet there will be Cat Paw Prints all over the slab, by the morning.........
Not in the slab bud stay tuned for the path 😤😤🧱👍🏽
How much extra do they charge for barrowing in the concrete?
It’s £40 delivery 🧱👍🏽
@@SteveAndAlexBuild so 20 quid a cubic meter?
@@markotoole323 no £40 for .3 or £40 for 3.3 🧱👍🏼
I usually put floor insulation in after brick work done I’m sum what puzzled how you have done it
Standard practice Trevor. The two DPM s runup and under the blockwork and get built in plus no walls in the way when putting the floor in 🤙🏾🧱👍🏽
@@SteveAndAlexBuild I’ve never put floor insulation in first then built extensions maybe building regulations are different were you live or I’ve been doing it wrong since 1977 load blocks out on insulation? Much easier to work inside on block beam or concrete floor and for scraping up when cleaning out
@@trevormappley Not sure what you mean. The only thing we put on the insulation is Dpm then concrete . We then work off the concrete slab .🧱👍🏽
@@SteveAndAlexBuild we do it other way around it’s concrete floor laying plastic membrane first or block beam then insulation and if they want under floor heating that goes in then screeding over top
@@trevormappley Never done a slab with under floor heating and never dove a slab with a screed. Always done the concrete as finished floor level 🧱👍🏽
4 to the foot ... imperial gauge
The good old way 🤙🏾
Meow 😸
😆🧱👍🏽
Where do you buy your insolation from
We used Insulation for less on line 🧱👍🏽
Don't u have weep holes on damp course
No ray, only if there is a full cavity tray at dpc , usually if there is a gas membrane specified 👍🏽🧱
Nightmare conundrum trying to rectify previous poor levelling skills - should have been a Physics tutor Steve! Do hope your health issues are getting monitored and checked OK Alex? Great day at the office guys, well done!
Cheers Dave , it’s a pain following someone else’s work 🙄😬🧱👍🏽
We are allowed dry therm 32 in the walls and no Inso plasterboard if we use 120mm Inso in the slab. Dose t make sense to me! Walls are not the slab😂
dono why it’s got to change its daft! Especially on extensions where house has no Inso any way😂
Even building control are still getting their heads around it. I like your option though .🧱👍🏽
I got my trowel out and built my mate two doors up a wall with the 7 inches of my 13 inch WHS narrow London trowel I had left I did get a marshalltown handle from eBay for it though because I've got hands really big hands which unfortunately make my willy look small 😂😂😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🧱👍🏽
As a builder in New Zealand I can't help but think a timber on pile extension would've been so much quicker and cheaper, as well as lighter, than what you've done. Clad with the same profile boards as existing.
Wouldn’t be on a bricklaying channel then 🙄🧱👍🏽
Just noticed on this video that you have for some tape over the number of the house, even though on some of your videos, the number was showing
🙄🧱👍🏽
Yep , it’s such a pain in the arse editing it all out then a pesky bin sneaks in 😤😆🧱👍🏽
Just tie in front n back whether it's out of gauge n out of level a good joiner will make it look right with facia n soffit. Built loads of things wrong so it looks right by eye. Any good tradesmen can get over most problems 20mm is nothing. I once tied in to front n back n it was 150mm out coz the back of the house had sunk. The joiners got over it
You do it your way and we will do it right 👍🏽
@@SteveAndAlexBuild yeah but your way is wrong u always match what's already exists. Rather it course in compared to a 2100 straight joint that looks wrong
Sorry got to agree with the other guy tie your brickwork in that is right
@@kriswild1824 according to you 🧱
@@bigdoll57 no it’s not
6" cavity is that the new regs bloody stupid the worlds gone mad
You can have 100 mm cav but need 50 mm insulated plasterboard or mega expensive cavity insulation 😵💫🧱👍🏽
Nice to see you do a vertical damp as well we have to do that in the south of England,great job guys @@SteveAndAlexBuild t @Bricklaying With Steve and Alex t @Bricklaying With Steve and Alex

Can't agree with the straight joint butting up not mat hing the existing?
Get imperial bricks and tooth them in
The bricks aren’t imperial
@@SteveAndAlexBuild even more reason to tooth out and match the bond then?
@@kenelliott3022 Nope
20 mm out on the brickwork ? Their string must have been bent. Probably by carelessly trrowing it in the back of the van. I'm not a brickie but I could do better than that. Discraceful work. Makes yur job a pain.
It’s not fun following someone else’s work especially when it’s shite 😵💫👍🏽🧱
Well go u do better num nuts suppose ur a trainee shop assistant holy fuck😂😂😂
Previous work not on gauge sure makes it hard to follow correctly! Was that work done before brick tapes?
Love your attention to the details, it makes all the difference. If the foundation isn't right, then that can throw out everything. We have jokes about that here in Washington state USA.
Thanks DPeter i think it was built before anybody cared 😬🧱👍🏽
It imperial work. So easy to follow just make a guage rod transfer to each corner
@@markrichardson5295 it’s not imperial it’s all over the place and out if level too 🧱👍🏽🙄
@Bricklaying With Steve and Alex they normally bumped or ground to the windows. Normally marry up to the most seen side then uneven brickwork to the blind side
They certainly did 😬🧱👍🏽
