It always amazes me how solid houses are even with shoddy work like this. We had a structural wall held up by nothing other than fresh air and it hadn't budged in 100 years! 🤣😬 So just left it... (joke!)
Your opening piece about seeing what sort of a job a previous carpenter has made, is one of the big reasons I always try and leave my carpentry work as good as possible. I don't like to criticise other people's work, but everything in that roof was astonishingly poor. I've never seen anything like it. You are about to claim victory once it is all stripped off, as you will then be in control. I'm excited to see new, level plates go on and the new roof structure take shape. 😎
I have seen worse. This Man 100 years ago built a house of 2 stories apparently with a dish for a level and a plumbob that was not level with the ocean breeze. Not a level piece anywhere ,no Square corners, Square cut nails used even for the Trim, Mortar that crumbled and plumbing that flowed in the wrong direction. It still stands today , is occupied and the asphalt shingles keep it somewhat dry. I believe he used a hatchet for most cuts. A Drunk he died accidentally . He probably did not remember building it . his real name was not known but he used an Irish surname. I'll bet it will still be standing for 50 more years unless it burns. Have you a light?
Hi Robin can I add another point, I think standard of work you have uncovered that some people think I have a saw and a hammer so that makes me qualified obviously not believe or not I have seen some worse work than this executed through my years in the trade. Keep up your excellent work.
Thank you for caring about your workmanship; your clients; your trade; your legacy; your environment; your workers; your safety; your professionalism. Many may not realize or understand that all that you have pointed out directly affects and effects their WELL BEING! Some tradesmen do not recognize it either! But awareness and truthfulness allow for honest change. Thank You. [73 year old carpenter builder that has had to explain to his clients why their lives are impacted by slipshod workmanship]
Love this Guy, says it like it is and how it should be, must be, done. Heartwarming professionalism a joy to watch and a must watch for anyone in the building game, because it not actually a game at all.
Hi Robin I think it would be an insult to our profession to say that, that bad work has been carried out by a Carpenter it fits where it touches no true tradesman would do that. It must be such a relief to remove it. Thanks for sharing that's one lucky building to have yourself putting it right,cheers👍
Robin if I win some money on the lottery, your be booked in to rip out my loft conversion so you can start a fresh and we can look forward to a warmer room in the winter. Really like the way you explain and also show proof of bad workmanship. Seen you do other roofs and your attention to detail is spot on....👍👍👍
I was actually quite gratified watching this, I'm classic "all the gear no idea", but reckon you'd find it harder to take my home made shed down than that house. I've done due diligence, but god I hope the builders that start my extension on monday are better than whoever built that pile of poo.
With the quality of workmanship uncovered, how can any householder, not in the trade, have any faith in builders? Very depressing. I’m looking forward to seeing how it’s done properly.
You can tell when a builder price's a job correctly. Some times cheaper quote are more costly. Robin is the type of tradesman that does it right first time . What a legend!!
i really apreciate you Robin,you are a trough craftsman,you say it as it is without the bs,you know what you are doing and you know why you are doing things the way you do them,i am a proffesional builder myself and it pleases me to see someone like you doing it right all the time,not cutting corners for the profit,but for the long time use for the clients aswell,keep it up mate,you are the real thing ;-)
I love to see 'RC WAY'. I admire your work style and showing us how previous carpenters or builders did cowboy job eg birds mouth cuts on rafter sitting on wall plate. You are really honest, friendly and educating us all. Please keep it up. I pray for you and your family, for your long happy healthy joyful life. Money is not everything but the knowledge you are giving us all is great. God bless you and your family. Very best wishes from Leicester England. A H ESSAK
looked like the builder chucked is granny and the kitchen sink at this build, what a fantastic way of not to do building work, I've seen new built houses built very poorly recently. Keep the great videos coming please Boss!!
Thanks for this series Robin it’s really interesting! 👍 Really shocking though, that workmanship is theft, cutting corners to ‘save’ on time and material cost (that where no doubt charged for). It’s sad that some trades people see people with money and think they can take advantage. Great to see it done right, I would hire you or those that come with your seal of approval.👍👏
Cowboys everywhere even on new builds all due to a shortage of craftsman and who's at fault the government without a doubt no investment in young people for many many years. I have worked in schools the quality of the tools in the design technology are beyond bad or they just cant afford to buy them 2 hammers for a whole department and 10 blunt and useless chisels. MDF instead of real wood no glue and list list goes on. I watched as a new school was built with lathes with no tooling and universal milling machine which an experienced tradesman would find hard to use also no tooling ( who got the back hander to supply them?) Keep showing us your great work Robin some of it might rub off on so called joiners and tradesman. Great VLOG.
Just found the channel and ploughing my way through the Big Build. Apart from the fact that it’s a great advert for your business, really interesting stuff, I can’t believe how bad the original build is!! How does the likes of me, who hasn’t got a clue, guard against getting an awful builder and getting in someone like yourself?! Great channel 👍
I am not a tradesman. I have watched your Vids for years as a housholder to try to get an understanding of how things should be done. I would love one day to see your take on a full dormer loft conversion as I understand you were once in that sector? It would be nice to see for all us consumers.....
Can't wait to see this project come fruition. It Certainly will be one extreme to the other with regards to workmanship and Pride. Great work as always Robin 👏
You know a building is in poor shape when the demolition looks a million times better than the installation. Always hugely satisfying to watch utter cowboy botch jobs ripped out. Top job Robin👍👍
I feel we need to tear down the rest of the house and uncover the foundations Robin...... Whoever put that together needs to find a new job. Looks like he cut this mitres with a JCB.
Excellent video as usual Robin. I think it could be really beneficial to some potential customers for the company that installed the old roof to be named or even reported to the relevant association if they were members of one. Food for thought!
Another good video Robin. Don't ever stop 'moaning' about this type of cowboy 'workmanship', the more it gets exposed, the more people become aware of what to look for. Every day is a learning day!
Hi Robin, it is not always about the cost, I know there are areas that have so many nails it is ridiculers and removing the nails is nor cost effective, but one thing is never taken into the cost and that is landfill. We are a nation of “throw it away and get new” but the cost of throwing it away is becoming very expensive not only to the landfill but also to the planet
Hi Robin the big build coming along a treat, I've said it before and I'll say it again I only wish our paths would have crossed in the past, it would have been an honour to work alongside you, I'm at the wrong side of 40 unfortunately and been working with a local builder for 6 years now and I can honestly say I'm never more happier and get the most pleasure then when we're putting the roofs on and watching your videos really help me, just trying to get my head around those dam cuts for the joists on the valley boards lol, anyway really looking forward to when you get to grips with the roof my good fellow, if your ever in the market for the more mature assistant DM me lol, keep up the fantastic work 👏
What a great project this is becoming love the videos Robin you could make them an hour each I’m sure you wouldn’t get any complaints can’t wait til the next one great to watch you work 1st class chippy.
Hey! Thanks for a very nice channel. Fun to see how you build in the UK when I am a carpenter from Sweden. It feels like it might be a better idea to demolish the whole house and start over from the beginning? All the time it takes to tear down gently and renovate feels expensive, a little bit like polishing a turd.
Loved the longer video Robin 👌🏼 I was that engrossed in the video, I was holding my breath when that kitchen ceiling came down and the dust blew up. Thinking fuk this I'm out of here 😂😂😂
in the big storm of 87, here in taunton we had many blown/uplift flat roofs came off, due to no or not enough ties. some of the sizes were something like 20 x 20 mtr.
Great video. Feel really good about my own house now having seen all that. Interesting how many of the faults you could pick up on a structural survey (did the owners have one). I guess you just have to look at what's visible and if the tell tale signs are there then walk away. We need a new building standard "RC" proper.
I wouldn't even know where to start when it comes to estimating for a job like that. Love that pronged pty bar, clever idea. Dreading starting my extensions next year, I think building regs is going to financially cripple the project. I'm interested to know how much that scaffolding cost, at a guess, and it is a guess, I would say around £7000 - £8000.
That reno job was a "I know a guy that will do it cheaper" special and that roof would no survive a normal windy day here on the South Texas coast (guest up to 35mph+).
I now understand that roofs don't so much blow off but there's an aerofoil effect that lifts the roof up from the walls and then, depending on strength of wind, blows what is a floating roof away - like a hovercraft or the pucks in a table hockey game that blew air from underneath the pitch which someone had at school.
Has Robin got a twin brother he hasn't told us about? At 17:05 he's talking to the camera about the side wall but in the background, he's loading a dumper ????
You should lower the volume while using powertools, since the talking is impossible to hear if i have the volume down to make it comfortable to watch, on my phone i cover the speaker while the worst sounds 😅
22:50 Can't believe all those holes cut in the joists and the size of them for a few cables and pipes. The whole house looks like it was bodged. I guess they were buying it to extend/refurb but I hope the owners didn't pay too much for the place.
Hello robin, I have to say, I love watching your videos, I’ve notice over the videos, your power tools change a lot, festool to the metabo tools, is that personal choice for you, you find metabo better choice then festool
Always gets me when some know it all 70 yr old bloke who has probably never worked in the building game, tells me "they done make them like they did in my day" yeah because there were no standards at all ! Took down hundreds of jobs and maybe 1 or 2 that were anywhere near acceptable workmanship.
Thats shocking carpentry work i have cut in over 1k roofs but i have never came across work as bad as that al least it will be done right when your finished mate
Hi robin I enjoy watching your videos .Do you have any future plans to give practical training on roofing ? Looking forward to learn from your experience. Saber
I think commenters should start making a list of likely houses that that roofs chippy worked on, thank god I've only got one candidate but at least he'd run out of pallets by the time he got to that.
Hi robin;really enjoy your videos , and admire your passion for doing the job right ,I am putting a new timber floor in my Victorian house and Id like to know where you got those clips that hold the insulation between floor joists to stop it falling through ,you used them on the Garden room build ,I’d appreciate any help you can give
Depends when it was built.? In the 80s we never saw building control because times were so busy.! Used to phone up for an inspection and was told to carry on.! No mobile phones to take photos in them days.!😊
Did the owners have any awareness of how bad it was before they decided on the project? That is, did they intend this to be remedial as well as an upgrade? Can’t have been long until it started leaking and throwing up a litany of other problems.
i love the scaffolding with the shade cover. A) How tall can a system like that go? and B) how much does that cost? I have a 100 yr old 2.5 story home and would love to do this type of job.
@@dunes7 any idea how long the scaffold will be up for? Sounds a lot but they can still live in their house while the work goes on which will save maybe more than that!
What a bodge job .I am sure that once you remove all tbe old redundant materials you will reconstruct this structure to a high standard and restore to its former glory.
When I was a little Rapscallion I asked my Teacher 'why' people walked so FAST in the old B&W films ??? ..... He said it was because they didn't have Buses back then ... Hmmmm ?? ;-) ............. We're going to do it the RC way?? .... I thought they'd already done it the 'Arsey' way ?? :-)
Another great video how did any of that work get past building control. On another note with a site of that size there seems to be a lack of site safety and personal safety which seeing your approach to the building trade and work ethic i find rather surprising.

I worry and overthink about every job I work on, stressing over minute details, then I see crap like this getting churned out, so why do I worry???
No builders/joiners i know would ever do this.

Problem here in Michigan no one wants to pay for good workmanship. I can't count how many times homeowners beat me up on my quote.
You get what you pay for
Where was building control🤣🤣🤣 on the plus side least where gonna see how it should be done 👍💪🏼
Depends when it was built.? In the 80s we never saw building control because times were so busy.! Used to phone up for an inspection and was told to carry on.! No mobile phones to take photos in them days.!😊
Did the owners have any awareness of how bad it was before they decided on the project? That is, did they intend this to be remedial as well as an upgrade?
Can’t have been long until it started leaking and throwing up a litany of other problems.
Like severe roof spread and collapse!
Just slightly worried about the amount of landfill created here. How much is actually recycled? Great video anyway.
i love the scaffolding with the shade cover. A) How tall can a system like that go? and B) how much does that cost? I have a 100 yr old 2.5 story home and would love to do this type of job.
In a previous video in the comments section, Robin answered a similar question on the cost whuch was £10,000.
@@dunes7 any idea how long the scaffold will be up for? Sounds a lot but they can still live in their house while the work goes on which will save maybe more than that!
Is the cable run through the joists that bad? Seems like it would be acceptable for future proofing?
I wonder if the people that did the work originally are watching you destroy their bodge?
Now the cowboys have gone the new boys are in town.
At this point the homeowner must be thinking shite shall we just start again
I wonder if the original builders have seen this series?
Wow bad the chipboard didn't even have staggered joints!
What a bodge job .I am sure that once you remove all tbe old redundant materials you will reconstruct this structure to a high standard and restore to its former glory.
