Brick laying to Damp proof course - London Extension build - Episode 13

[@bobx2387]

Hiya Darren, The first time I saw trench blocks, I thought "Why has no one done that before?".you have made an excellent start there. Josh will do good.. A good lad. Bob (Weston super Mare).

[@themudhutt1]

Look how much you get done when your deliveries are on time . Great to watch you back at cement, blocks and bricks . Neat as ever .

[@adamwhitehead733]

Loving the content so far guys. Iv already learnt so much from watching your videos. Keep up the excellent work.

[@shanicarter7637]

That was very fast progress. Those trench blocks seem to speed up the work significantly. Congratulations on purchasing a new mixer; it is always fun to get a new tool.

[@mrddb4328]

U make it look easy Darren. Great progress 👏🏽

[@molloy281poker4]

Nice one looking good

[@kaba7911]

Hi guys, thanks for the beautiful information and being transparent 👍🏿 Just checking What’s the MINIMUM WAIT TIME for the concrete to dry before start put bricks on top of concrete??

[@garywilcox6191]

Hi, unless my eyes deceive me those look like thermolite blocks, and last time I checked they had to be 7 Newton concrete blocks.

[@darrenthebuilder]

They are trench blocks designed for foundations. There are also 7 N thermalises which are also fine for foundation blocks. Cheers

[@odhranlynch]

Hi Darren, would you show us a beginner brick laying tutorial? I learn a lot watching how you guys work but it would be great to have a slower demo of how to do it along with explanations of what do do and what you look for when brick laying. Something for absolute beginners. Cheers 👍

[@MegaProstreet1]

Looking good fella , its starting to come together now so it can only mean up from now on 😂

[@timothynkadimeng2539]

[@viankalobosvalenzuela7456]

Excelente trabajo 👊 💯 🧱👌🏻💪

[@jmk1962]

Looking good. Hope you got some sleep last night. Saw you liked my comment at 2am and I thought why is Darren not sleeping?🤔

[@Mike_5]

Love your videos but can i ask why if you have a trench fill foundation you lay Newton blocks on top?

[@hunterluxton5976]

How deep was your concrete trench to withstand the two leafs?

[@darrenthebuilder]

Trench was about 1metre deep will mostly with concrete

[@goldenineke]

I know hand digging the trenches was back breaking work, but it’s ended up so much neater than a digger would have done unless it was some highly skilled operator.

[@y.lelivelt2619]

When you have to wait on materials it's frustation I think.I heard there is a kind of shortage on the most materials. Am I right? You did a nice progress today the three of you.

[@ant8066]

do you guys cover north london?

[@BartoszTabaka]

Is this South East London by any chance? If yes, how can I get in touch with you?

[@antonhemming163]

👍

[@pilotanimal192]

I would never have them below damp .

[@darrenthebuilder]

Why not?

[@johnpaulclifford7540]

Not to be used below damp proof course

[@darrenthebuilder]

@@johnpaulclifford7540 who told you that? Manufacturer states otherwise and they are in most new build all over the country.

[@darrenthebuilder]

I never just take what people say as gospel (usually what Someone told them incorrectly). I check with the manufacturers myself which is the only relevant way to go.

[@SamHughes89]

Videos are mint, but honestly I don’t really think trench block should every be laid within the frost area, on my jobs at least, instead of decent brick or engineering if I’m being honest; everything else is great. Trench are shite really

[@darrenthebuilder]

That’s personal preference. Other builders will praise them. They are brilliant and. they are designed and manufactured exactly for that purpose.
