Blockwork First Trays

In this episode We build up the internal skin of blockwork first, this is because we have to attach insulation to the inside of the cavity. I get to show you how we attach our trays.

Great use of the tip of the trowel, when offering up a block.👍

Ties need to be every 600mm so there’s 3 ties to a board of kingspan. Its manufacturers stipulation and the NHBC will pull it

[@lmilne4859]

Correct but that’s if it’s a 1200mm board. 600mm and don’t stagger them

bellways brought in special corner pieces for the damp tray which done away with a lot of taping shite in the corners otherwise it,s like doing oragamy ...

Great tutoring Chan ( like a teacher ha. . what do the mesh ties connect to ? Do u prefer ready mix ? than silo ?🤔 and why .... Thanks 👍

[@Changy_C]

The Weight and feel is better but obviously silo mix is stronger

[@Changy_C]

The mesh connected to the internal wall

@@Changy_C oh interesting...didn't know Silo was a stronger mix . Thanks changy .

[@kevinhalligan5283]

[@Changy_C]

Lucky if you get full money anywhere efor wind damage, I had 4 courses go on me and only got paid for 2 for a different subby

Changy do you get paid for faffing about with those trays ?

[@Changy_C]

I doubt it, we used to only get 50p a metre any how, most ive had is a pound a l/m. Its just one of the extra things you have to do

[@scottcooper3]

@@Changy_C do you get paid for bedding the wall plates?

[@Changy_C]

Doubt it but I'd say you should get at least £2-3 per lm for it really
