PART L COMPLIANT CONCRETE FLOOR STEP BY STEP WE ARE BACK ON THE ABANDONED CONSERVATORY BASE.
WE STONE UP USING 40 MM DOWN MOT HARDCORE THEN COMPACT WITH A WACKER PLATE. NEXT IS THE SAND BLINDING TO PROTECT THE 1ST LAYER OF DPM FROM BEING PUNCTURED BY THE HARDCORE. NEXT WE INSTALL THE 25 MM JABLITE COLD BRIDGING STRIP AROUND ALL EXTERNAL PERIMETER WALLS . NEXT IS A LAYER OF 1200 GAUGE DPM THEN THE 100 MM THICK PIR INSULATION. NEXT IS THE FINAL DPM THEN LASTLY THE 130 MM THICK CONCRETE FLOOR IS BARROWED IN AND POURED. ONCE IN WE THEN TAMP THE CONCRETE AND FINALLY TROWEL IT UP, WE USE A LIGHT WEIGHT 6 FOOT LEVEL.... ENJOY 👍🏽🧱

Are you building a 15 story extention ? what a croc of s* I * I usually like your work but as an engineer I feel you have gone overboad with the footing!!
Why
The footings were alrteady in by the owner check what you say
Bit aggressive by mr Yaabbly 😂😂🧱👍🏽
The guy that fixes my washing machine calls himself an "engineer". He's good at fixing Zannussi's but knows sod all about building work. Such as your "engineer's" attention span goes, you've missed the bit where they explain that they are rescuing a build already started by the customer and are working with what they were given. Basically, shut up and pay attention.
Coming onto a job where you're taking over a bad job its wise to go overkill a bit to make sure there's reassurance,
As far as I can tell its a standard 100mm slab, 100mm insulation and sheeting, below than is 6 dumpy bags of hardcore.
Theyve done a row of engineered blocks as a start and why not, who knows the quality of the footing pour before they arrived and looks like its been sat for 1 or 2 winters
So genius engineer if they hadn't added the hardcore the concrete would've needed to be deeper to get to finished floor height.
Should they of shovelled a load of soil in there first to save on hardcore? do they buy 3 tonnes of soil ? if so why not bang hardcore in as its probably about the same bulk bag price.
You should perhaps stay quiet with your nonsense comments
Another great job. That was a lot of hard manual labour. Makes you appreciate those jobs with easy access and having the hardcore dropped straight into place.
Thanks
Absolutely 🧱👍🏽
Great job fella. If I was the customer, I’d get you guys to finish the job. 😊. Thanks for sharing
Thanks MK 🧱👍🏽
Was just going to say the same in need of a good bricky in nottingham 😢
😬🧱👍🏽
Damm, guys you work so hard, I hope you make enough out of it, I am now retired and remember being like you both, but beware hopefully life will be long and kind, don’t burn yourselves out to early as I did, i am now slow and knackered, probably with hind sight ought to have backed off earlier so I would have enough steam left to enjoy being retired more, take care chaps and look after your health, as I was once told by a wise man; ‘it’s no fun getting old, but the alternative is no better!’ I love your vids. , John
Thanks John, glad you enjoy the videos. I will be good to go when i get this dam hip done 😬🧱👍🏽
Another great job from you two.
Cheers Kevin 🙌🏽🧱👍🏽

Thanks Steve 🧱👍🏽🙏🏽
Nice work chaps
Thanks pal 🧱👍🏽
Great work ethic and high standards as usual!! Keep smashing it guys 👍
Cheers Buddy 🧱👍🏽
What can I say watch out Steve Alex is after your crown. He certainly pulled his weight and is doing what you normally do. Watching him in todays video you don't have to worry when you are laid-up with your hip old pal he will manage Best wishes as ever Ken
Thanks Ken yes he has definitely stepped it up a gear 😍🧱👍🏽
Another great job from Steve and Alex - what we have come to expect from these two. Bit of a wasteland when you guys first started this job, but as usual you got the problems sorted and the job done to your usual high standards. It's about time you got your op Steve, can't go on like this for much longer. And anyway, Al wants a break from you! Keep safe you two!
😬🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🧱👍🏽
Thank you S&A, I’m sure it was a mind numbing start for you both, one of them “when’s it ever going to end” questions we ask ourselves at times but you pulled through it and the client surely couldn’t have hoped for a better result. Even if left as is, you’ve improved the garden 100% 😂🙏🏻
Thanks pal 🧱👍🏽
For s minute, I thought Alex was going to smash down all your hard work!
😆😆🧱👍🏽
Good mates I see working hard as aye
🧱👍🏽
Great vid guys I enjoyed it, can see its very hard work, Take care.
Thanks Gary 🤜🏽🤛🏽🧱👍🏽
I see that some are calling it overkill !!! personally myself if it were my job i would be delighted at the time, effort , hard work and attention to detail you both put into this hope the customer gets you back to finish it 👍
I always say you can’t over engineer a foundation 💪🏼🧱👍🏽
Thanks!
Thank you so much Wendy that is very kind of you 😍🙏🏽🧱👍🏽
Made a brilliant job of the mess that was there before you started lads 🎉
Cheers John 🧱👍🏽
Great job lads fit for purpose better to be well done than half done 👍
Cheers 😁🧱👍🏽
Nice seeing clean of the site at the end of the day. Bloody builder next to me left the site like fly tippers had been every day for a month 😡
Thanks.
I hate that 😠😡🧱👍🏽
Nice job boys. That must be really stressful working to a concrete delivery time in case something goes wrong 😳😁
Always Doug 🥵😁🧱👍🏽
Tidy job as always gents 👍
Cheers 🧱👍🏽
nice to see alex is coming on leaps and bounds. that lad is a credit to you steve.
Thanks Lawrence I’m very proud 😁🧱👍🏽

Hi lads looks good as all ways glad to hear you are star wars fans 👍🏻👍🏻
Hi Rob Al is a massive fan 🧱👍🏽

I have to disagree with the old saying You can’t Polish a Turd. You took a turd of a job and polished it up to a bright shine. Good job mates.
😂🧱👍🏽
Bacon cobs will be ready at this end Steve&Alex!!
Bacon 🥓 on toast every day 🤤🧱👍🏽
Well Alex will love them.

hard work and i bet you feel proud of your work and glad your finish ed
Cheers Jack, we do 😁🧱🧱👍🏽
Hi guys . I’ve subscribed and Great video, very useful, can I ask what grade sand you used between the scalpings and the dpc?, I only ask as your sand looked super fine compared to my builders sand , but maybe it was because your sand was very wet? , cheers in advance
Hi thanks very much for watching and the sub .
We just use building as we have it on site already .
🧱👍🏽🙏🏽
Last vid you warned people you were cutting the bag, this vid no. I´m now on therapy it was so traumatic. Even my cat couldn´t watch. Soldiered through though and great watch as usual.
😂🧱👍🏽
I see you have got some new wheelbarrows. What happened to old 'Betsy' the barrow from the blitz?
Still going strong 😁🧱👍🏽
I always thought that the ton bags were single use so don’t matter if they get slashed
That’s correct 🧱👍🏽
Steve great vid as per are you building the whole thing or is the customer doing it.
Cheers Nigel,Just to dpc. Not sure about after🧱👍🏽
When are you having your hip done Steve?
Good question and one I unfortunately can’t answer 😢😢🧱👍🏽
Some french drains around the footings would have helped you - it's no fun sloshing around in puddles when you're trying to build. Also I wasn't clear if you actually needed 6 tons of crushed stone for structural reasons, or just to bring the height of the floor up (i.e. it was just a filler). If it was just needed as a filler, you could have put in more insulation that required by the regs to fill the space, and used cheaper EPS rather than PIR.
We always work to regs .
Insulation is very expensive and we were in a budget 🧱👍🏽
Two things - the structure under the door is a huge cold bridge - 50mm polystyrene is not sufficient to prevent. I usually detail a full cavity across the opening, close it with Thermabate closer and use a timber window board at slab level to 'make pretty'. And, this is personal opinion, with such a massive amount of stone under the slab + the delay time, pouring and curing - why not use a suspended B&B structure, quicker, easier - cheaper (not so sure). All the contractors around our way prefer B&B rather than insitu concrete!
Block n beam is not easier at all 🧱👍🏽
Pukka job again , very good
As for splitting bags , bulk bags are not uv protected and break down so not really fit for multiple use
@chriswild2458 cheers Chris 🤙🏾🤙🏾🧱👍🏽
Martin , perfectly put as ever 😁🧱👍🏽
@martin2466 🙌🏽🙌🏽🧱👍🏽
I'm confused, if you have bought the concrete slab up to the existing internal floor level are you not screeding?
We do sub-base then concrete then PIR then 75mm screed to existing finish floor level.
No this is standard around here 🧱👍🏽
Hi guys great video ! Where do you guys buy your visqueen ? Can you send link please lads the stuff I buy has had constant holes init, also your insulation strips for the side where do you get these from ? Thanks guys
Hi Dean we don’t have 1 particular place .
We use 8 x 4 sheets of 25 mm jablite ( polystyrene) 🧱👍🏽
@@SteveAndAlexBuild thanks guys ! With the visqueen I been buying the stuff from screwfix I’ll have to look elsewhere where. Cheers mate
@DeanW-1990 try your local builders merchant or we’ve never had a problem with tool station 🧱👍🏽
You should of taped the insulation, never seen so many patches in such an easy job.
Never taped it and it’s not blown away yet 🌥️🌬️💨
It's not to stop it blowing away lol, the aluminium taping is to stop the thermal bridging between the insulation gaps and should definitely be done.
Hi Building Sand or Sharp sand for the Blinding layer please?
Sharp sand but both ok 🧱👍🏽
Hi lads What’s going on top of that slab
No idea pal 🧱👍🏽
Steve at least the bags can be recycled m8 not a problem
👌🏼🧱👍🏽😁
All the weather apps are hopeless. BBC, met office, accuweather, all crap.
Very true 😒🧱👍🏽
The local one on android is the best!
Why no rebar in slab Steve
@johnsutherland6322
If that had been my slab, two layers of A142 mesh would take care of everything structurally.
Personally speaking re-bar is a little bit of overkill, and hideously expensive now.
But I fully agree with your thoughts on the matter.👍👍😁
If it was a suspended slab it would be in but a ground bearing slab no need 😁👍🏽🧱
@@SteveAndAlexBuild Chaps,
I totally agree with you on this.👍👍👍👍👍
What size is the floor insulation
100 mm 👍🏽🧱
You can’t use the bags again anyway, not insured for more than one lift. Too big for rubbish if you have to manually carry them. Wickes sell a mini bag of these ideal for rubbish for £2.
🤙🏾🤙🏾🧱👍🏽
Why the American style shovel
Steve explains it in the video mate. You must have missed it 👍🏻
🧱👍🏽
back in the day you had to barrow it in youself and level at the same time..good job guys.over kill these days with concrete floors wtf 🤪
..
😁cheers James 🧱👍🏽
Sorry lads late to tge show #naughtystep?
😆😆🧱👍🏽
😅😅😅 wo ist denn eure Bewehrung?? Oder ist das faserbeton in der Schubkarre?😅😅
No reinforcement no fibres
Strange comment about the slab was overkill SO WHAT
Very 🤣🧱👍🏽
You always get some buffoon, commenting who has not got a clue, come on @YAABBLY get with the program, keep up the brilliant work S/A.
🤣🧱👍🏽
