Very good. Very entertaining...! Poor old 'Dickie'. I always think Slade music will get played when you have musical interludes. Dont know why, but hey....!
Love your videos! I'm pretty sure a plastic water feed does not need bonding to the earth terminal. Earth bonding is for ''extraneous conductive parts'', so if it's plastic no need to bond (as it's not conductive). Even if it then joins onto a copper pipe and continues into the building, it's the part that is coming from outside (i.e ''extraneous'') that would have to be conductive.
Extraneous: separate from the object to which it is attached. In the electrical regulations it refers to any conductive components of the build that aren't connected to ground. Basically it's any metalwork that could become live and present a shock hazard. Bringing all metal within the build to ground potential allows current to be short circuited and trip a breaker thereby removing the hazard. If there is no supply authority earth provided a ground stake should be provided to bring the whole installation to ground potential. If there is a buried metal pipe coming in from outside it will be at ground potential already, but still needs to be bonded to comply with regulations. I saw so many changes in build and electrical installation methods over the years, we went from 7029 (2.5mm) to 4mm, 6mm, 10mm over the years.
@@Sarge084 Don't know about the UK regs but over here you don't need main bonding if the water mains is plastic but supplementary bonding in bathrooms is required if the internal pipes are copper (or theoretically galvanised if anyone was to still use that, or, as it happens with tight landlords, keep the ancient lead pipework). And no, I'm not kidding about the lead. A few weeks ago there was a leak on a riser mains in the basement of my brother's place, a cracked solder joint between the lead pipe and a brass gate valve. The repair was to cut out 20 cm of lead and replace that bit with copper. And that's not even a landlord, it's fairly luxurious freehold flats, i.e. everyone owns the flat they live in. Insurance pays for leak repairs but not for full replacement.
@@Sarge084 Sounds like there's some confusion. Equipotential bonding is nothing to do with earthing, and has no relevance to tripping any breakers. It's there to ensure that no extraneous conductors can be at a different potential from those inside the EPZ. If pipework goes underground within the EPZ then there is no risk, however you can do a test to confirm either way.
Great episode, quite liked the two time lapse where you swapped to see what everyone was doing at the same time. Your all getting better behind the camera and editing and explanations of what's going on... Great stuff
I was let down by a plaster some years ago so I end up buying all gear and did job myself. Then I ended up re plastering the all rooms in house walls and ceiling .saved my self lots of money 💰
IMHO I think your going to have ongoing issues with the cooker-hood extraction system. There's going to be water forming at the lowest point of the ducting ie. beneath the steel. plus I'm sure you know; that the run is far longer than the maximum length allowed for the air movement that the extractor will produce. On a lighter note. What do you call someone who used to love Tractors. An ex-tractor fan! Thanks for sharing.
Great stuff lads love your videos but how come you have not used any damp course in the cavity where the outside doors and windows are going and under the concrete lintels cheers lads great job
Silver, that is amazing, thank you very very much. I know that I keep saying that I'll give an update and that I keep forgetting to do so but I promise that it'll be in next week's video. Thank you again, you're a star!
I've noticed that mid-roll ads have started appearing - is that something you've decided to change or has UA-cam decided for you? Part of the joy of your channel was the lack of interruptions from McDonalds or Pantene 😊
Yet another excellent vid from the best builders on YT !!! Cheers guys. ( Tell the customers plumber that it should have been a 22mm stopcock from the new 25mm plastic....then split into 2 x 15mm pipes as it goes into the house. Much better flow, and almost no pressure drops when someone flushes the loo !! )
Brilliant video! Can’t believe the amount of preparation before first fix. Patient of a saint with all the detail needed. Was the kettle put under the tap properly? So funny..
Watching the plastering reminded me when I had some work done. The plasterer was almost 7 ft tall and could do the ceiling just standing on the floor. HA HA!!
Bonding is great, it sticks like sh1t to an army blanket! Always loved a job with bonding on it, I liked using it to gob socket boxes on walls where I couldn't get a fixing!
Did you ever return to house with the retaining wall in the garden , that had the water ingress problem ?. I think you made a video previously last year about the issue.
Well, it was a difficult decision to make on a Sunday night, Do I watch Mr. A Builders, Or BGT The Final…Sorry Simon But you did not win this time… Yet another Mr. A Builder’s must watch…The beginning made me laugh so much the wife came into the front lounge to see what all the fuss was about…. great video, so informative, years ago it would have been wedges and packers behind the uprights of the stud wall… technology certainly has moved on…. Brill…..hope the leak dry’s up before the inspection??👍👍
I've watched this video twice and I still don't know what the building inspector looks for or if it passed or failed, 🤣 I'll have another go without shutting my eyes, 😞
lol. Matt’s best side, indeed!! Your channel is awesome. Professionals all the way around!!
Cheers mate! You've got one of the best UA-cam names I've seen, by the way!

Nice one Dan! Where about are you then?
@@Mr_A_Builders just down the road by Bristnall hall. I'll pop some biscuits through the letterbox one day! 😆
For the little ones at Christmas.......I love your videos and wish you all lots of success in the future....

Well done lads great episode love the banter and humour between you all 😅
Brilliant video! Can’t believe the amount of preparation before first fix. Patient of a saint with all the detail needed.
Was the kettle put under the tap properly? So funny..
Ha ha ha... Love the start. Poor Richard!
What sealant are you using for the ducting? Is it fire/smoke proof or .....?
Great video.
Great informative video as always lads. Glad you got free of the cubby hole
Another smashing episode and the intro was brilliant. I love your sense of humour and once again great music 👍. Who edits the videos out of interest?
Cracking lads.
Watching the plastering reminded me when I had some work done. The plasterer was almost 7 ft tall and could do the ceiling just standing on the floor. HA HA!!
Thanks as always gents.
Excellent episode, both informative and entertaining!
Yay sunday ! Been waiting for your upload !!
Nice one, mate! Hope you enjoy it.
😂 love the intro! Adam, your timing is perfect, you could do standup 👍
Bonding is great, it sticks like sh1t to an army blanket!
Always loved a job with bonding on it, I liked using it to gob socket boxes on walls where I couldn't get a fixing!
Lovely episode as usual. Only quedtion i have, will the ducting hold water where the steel is? Its essentially a u bend for condensate now?
I’m going to order one now!
Did Mick get his pick from temu. 😂😂
Love the vids guys
Love the intro
EXCELLENT!!!!!!!!!
Sorry over the concrete lintels for the windows
Did you ever return to house with the retaining wall in the garden , that had the water ingress problem ?. I think you made a video previously last year about the issue.
Hello Steve, I think they sold up and moved on mate...hope it wasn't something that I'd done....
That was handy.
Well, it was a difficult decision to make on a Sunday night,

The water pipe is a horrendous bodge. As for thermal cups, coffe gator is the only one i will use, (decent quality).
Have you ever thought of taking up motivational speaking, Paul?
@@Mr_A_Builders I'm too pedantic, I rekon I would clear the room!
@paulf2529 you'd have to fill it first.
@@Mr_A_Builders😂😂😂😂love these replies!
Can’t always rely on Paul for some dumb ass comments!
Typical of the UK weather, the last day of the school holidays is blazing sunshine 🤦
I know! Ace isn't it! Mine have got a teacher's training day tomorrow so they're off again! Hope you're well mate and enjoying it!
@@Mr_A_Builders spent far too long in the garden digging up some carrots 🤣
why is the old kitchen floor going to concrete when the other floors around it are suspended wooden
How do you price a job this big. Hope your on the right side 😊
Poor Matthew, laboured patiently for weeks for what? 🙂 Just to plaster a poxy cupboard ;-) Well, he looked happy enough!
Rather than messing about stich drilling why not just use a core drill? A farr neater hole.
All that's missing are the EastEnders "dum, dum, dum's......" , at the end of this cliffhanger 😮
