Double storey extension with squint bricks video 1. Drains and concrete slab

- Started a new extension with garage. Someone put the foundations in and left the job. They had left the manhole in the foundations so we moved them out and stitched the foundation together, we also renewed the old drains and did the concrete oversite, prepping it and laying the concrete.

Yes Mr Longhurst. What a treat for tonight/today! A Christmas upload and s great job to boot!
Good effort Chris by far the most professional bricky and builder on this platform 👏.
Get part 2 on soon please.
Fascinating 👍
Great to see job being done properly,look forward to the rest of the build👍
Brilliant Video Chris. Thanks.
Great idea using the drilled bolt 👍
Great work Chris, interesting how things come together🧱⚒
Thanks 👍
great job
Looking very good 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Hi enjoyed the video. Just a little tip when making a vertical joint use a slip coupling. Much easier.
Thanks Lee👍
Great insight, thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
At 8.30, if that's the only pipe joining that manhole. It should connect at the rear lower main channel, and not on that 45 upper channel. It provides through flow. The other 45 channel risks build up of foul materials
Yes that's true, however another pipe is coming into the chamber see the hole for it at 7:07. Hope that sheds light on it we only featured this part!
Big old extension there Chris looking good so far . A lot of remedial work needed at first though smashed it 🤙🏽🧱👍🏼
Yes its big with two squints init Only doing the brick work and block. Nice to have a rest now haha
I really enjoyed that, it seems ages since I did any work like this. Thank you for a great video and I especially liked the drilled bolt for tie wiring the mesh. Brilliant
I thought I'd subscribed ages ago...but hadn't, have now
Thank you very much!
Happy Christmas Rob, God bless
I like the idea of the bolt for wiring up the steel but you can get a Mikita wiring tool now
Looking good Chris.
Хорошая работа, удачи вам!
Never seen using a drill to put a shamfer before👌👌😯 that apoxy is brilliant stuff and love the drill with the bolt in to tie the rebar together💪😯
Brilliant video mate, looking forward to see some more on this job👌 Hope you had a fantastic Christmas with your friends and family buddy 🍻🍻🎅
Thanks Izzy, had a good (busy) Christmas...and trust you did too bro🎄
@@foundationgood123 ah that's good to hear mate! Yea it's actually been very chill since I've got COVID..so it's been pretty relaxing to be honest 👌
I just tried to read your comment on my latest video..but it's disappeared..keeps happening on my videos 🤦
@@IzzytheBricky Sorry you been ill bro🤒 hope you get well soon Izzy. Ill resend the comment👍
@@foundationgood123 hope your feeling better mate! Best wishes
Good 👍
Thanks
Always good content. Where the soil pipe comes up into the house, how do you patch this up and avoid damp?
Looking good although would a y branch within the footprint of the extension not have been enough instead of an inspection chamber with all internal 4 inch pipe having access points for rodding and a rodding point outwith the extension at the back? Also would the inspection chamber at the front not have been better positioned where the long radius 90 was?
Maybe the drainage was specified in the drawing but was just curious
Good points, however we have to follow the spec and advisory notes on the drawing or they won't pass them!
How do price for the amount of work underground? I get scared off from these sort of jobs just because of the amount of unknown drainage works. Is there some sort of formula or rule of thumb you use?
Great vid again Chris. Do you get charged waiting time on the concrete delivery after so long and a return charge if you order too much ? Cheers
Yes you do, this job was done within in their time limits!
wouldn't do for all of us to be the same😆
Just interested in a clearing some things up for my piece of mind. Is the main channel of the higher inspection chamber being used? it isn't clear on the video. Having read the comments I still don't see the need for the long radius 90 instead of placing a new inspection chamber there. Using hard PIR board to protect the pipe passing through the foundation will still transfer load onto the pipe. If you put a straight pipe joint either side of the concrete within 150mm it would act as a rocker pipe and help with any deflection. Don't get me wrong your pipework shouldn't block and we've all done bits that are not 100% but I don't put it on you tube.
Remember this has been done according to regs and inspected and approved. I wouldn’t say it was bits not a 100% as some one might say what you’re suggesting isn’t 100%!! However This in my opinion and the local building control was happy that it was sufficient for this build. Note, it wasn’t okay as it was and had to be changed and there’s no real load over the pipe as it was a garage door opening. Hope that helps

Hi I don't think I suggested something that wasn't correct I don't think I explained that I wouldn't just have put the rocker pipe in I would have used a piece of 225 pipe supported on the new shuttering to give clearance all around the new pipe my apologies for not explaining that. When I do work for Wessex Water on adopted pipework to dwellings they would not let that pass. Thats also why I asked about the main run being used on the chamber not just branches. Lots of building inspectors don't know enough about drains anyway.
Always put some mesh in a slab that is to be trafficked.
Since the sewer line is beneath the foundation, what happens if there is an obstriction in the sewer?
Your worst nightmare
there's two rodding access points as we show in the video, one at the top and one at the bottom so clearing any blockage will be relatively easy. NOTE a lot of houses have drains running through their buildings. I hope this helps
why didn't you pull a line through and measure down instead of using a straight edge ?
Prefer the straight edge
What a mess
Wrong fitting a pipe inside that mate the terracotta colour is below ground drainage.. not gonna do no harm but it’s an identifying colour
