How to build an Extension part 5: finished job

[@reecebyrne2790]

I get lost watching these videos. Love seeing it from start to finish. These look quality work

[@6c61]

This looks really good, I hope the homeowner was pleased with the end result as you've built it perfectly. Thanks for making the videos and sharing this with us.

[@foundationgood123]

Thank 👍you

[@keithkench9432]

Nice to see some old school builders, nice work.

[@davidcoleman6032]

Looks quite an involved project, amazing how it all comes together, looks a great job!

[@tom2tomt]

Fantastic set of videos watch the whole lot in one go!! Thank you!

[@AngelAsylum78]

Brilliant work ! Love this channel and your work.

[@davemiller7633]

Nicely done! Very enjoyable video to watch

[@TheTerminator423]

Top work Chris and your gang. Good to see you all do bits of everything instead of just the brickwork. Tom

[@wolfhachmuth7731]

That's what i thought. Good all rounders.

What an amazing job guys!

Beautiful Job!

Beautiful job boys, proper tradesmen at work.

[@drgrowuk8830]

Absolutely brilliant videos 👏👏👏👏 Just watched all five So helpful and interesting Just about to start a similar project 🤔 Great work guys ✌🏻😷

[@foundationgood123]

hanks for watching and all the best with your project👍👊

[@foundationgood123]

@Boss Man Thanks Boss man, I wish you all the best. You got a ptice off a builder

[@foundationgood123]

@Boss Man I’m just doing a wrap around app 5.5 x 4 with pitched roof with 2 valleys 35000K all in its 23.1 square metres or £1500 per square metre!!

[@ciron_addict9602]

Great craftsmanship

[@armee260]

Hi, I really liked your work. Please let me know cost of all this work. Thanks for uploading such a nice work.

[@foundationgood123]

A lot, I was contracted to another building company so I didn't price that work!

[@jamesdickson3616]

Top job guys done right well done you deserve a beer or two

[@les0nick]

Smooth Double roman can be used on pitch over 22.5 deg with 100mm overlap. This roof looks less than 20.

[@foundationgood123]

les0nick These tiles you see are matching the existing tiles on the main house! The dimensions have been give you can check that by counting the bricks then work out the pitch!!

[@shifty277]

@@foundationgood123 haha thats it make em do the work. The camera has captured it all. Work out height at start with courses and height at end of courses and all the products used. Then come and have a whinge. Ha ha ha i loved your response.

[@andrewfoster40]

Couldnt agree more 👏 worked it out you got 11.5 degrees max not good at all no good matching existing if there not adequate for job

[@robertmyatt2755]

You need to have a low pitch regent or Bol roll with maximum headlap and that’s still dodgy. That will not qualify, then tiles don’t qualify. Sorry love what you do but just saying. The breathable membrane will keep it out when overflow happens untill it rots. Windows on that pitch will leak. Big love though👍🙏🥊

[@BillySnowball]

I would say double rafters in that situation was a little over-kill, but won't hurt. What size were the rafters?

[@johnevans7389]

Joist hangers on the roof plate?

[@womblestacker7993]

What a great job lads

[@danielmcmanus3783]

How much would something like this cost mate ?

[@cabottaxi]

Great video. I was looking to do exactly the same but was quoted a figure of £102,000. Needless to say the work is not getting done. Seems as if you stay in an upmarket area the price is always dearer. Replacement conservatory kit only and not a big one was quoted at £45000.No brickwork involved. Also been estimated to take down a 3 metre brick internal wall £10000. Think the builders where i stay are all running about in Porsche Panamera and Lamborghini's. Not at my expense.

[@wendylagrant8312]

Is Part 4 still available

[@hakimvlogs6579]

How much did this job cost just so I can get a rough idea?

[@foundationgood123]

I didn't price this job I only did their work as a subby...I guess £30kplus

[@ollypolly18]

cracking job lads

[@thebigbadmithebigbadmi8014]

Perfect brick work Lovely jobly fellows

[@bakeredwards]

I bet they don't have that underfloor heating on much now with the price of electricity lol

[@tonyjacklin]

What sort of price would a job like this cost?

[@luke-so9hs]

@YorktownGreen That's way over the cost :) Even in usd

[@shifty277]

Its wild to guess we don't even know 100% in the country the fella is working. Different cities in the UK have a different rate of expected pay in every trade. An electrician in Leicester won't earn the same as one in London and so forth.

[@johnjamesvan-aston4075]

Brickies doing joinery 😆 luv it

[@foundationgood123]

“builders”

[@womblestacker7993]

Do you work in South Wales uk

[@andrewmudge3718]

Roof way under pitch for tiles and deffo velux, troweled self levelling , no hangers on wall plate. If I’m honest, didn’t look like cavity batts in the wall either .

[@foundationgood123]

All inspected mate and passed, you probably only seen clips, however the build stages move on as the build progresses! All has to be right or there would be no completion certificate..

[@charlesdefrancisco5056]

Really nice job..what country are you in?.....your footings seem big compared to many I’ve seen....and wondering as you seem very competent...no laser?

[@foundationgood123]

UK matey...what ever did the Victorians do without laser level or the Egyptians LOL

[@andybrace4983]

great job chaps

[@mrjuice24]

How much for same looking extension 7x4.2m ?

[@foundationgood123]

As a bullpark you would be looking at £1200 per square metre! las ext I did was 7mx 3m at £25K

[@Rabarbersq]

Great work, gents! Can I ask You for the cost of the project please?

[@foundationgood123]

A lot, I was contracted to another building company so I didn't price that work!

[@1963builder]

Wow that roof pitch is way too low for those tiles and timber size for roof loading

[@craig4549]

Great work but you're right about the roof. Them roof windows are going to give trouble at that low pitch. Indoor swimming pool

[@kevinbarrass7837]

One word springs to mind (capillary )

[@rossmale8715]

The pitch of that roof looks far too shallow for those tiles and roof windows,looks a 10° pitch at best

[@joedamangu1324]

hi what the size of your timber rafter and space between rafter,thank you.

[@foundationgood123]

Joe DaMangu depth .250mm spaces .450mm

[@carlpincombe1782]

Another fine job.

[@zedman442]

/lovely Chris. What was the span of that opening? Did the structure engineer not request any steel pier?

[@foundationgood123]

Zed Man Thank you👍 aprrox 4m and regarding the steel work they (structure engineer ) calculated the steel depth and that was sufficient for the job-Note: there were tow RSJs bolted together ! Hope this helped-

[@ada6478]

Hi chris what are the centres for you're joists

[@foundationgood123]

450mm

[@coops6621]

Did the insulation go between and under the rafters?

[@foundationgood123]

Yes

[@peterryan7827]

I would like to ask how you decide on the exact pitch roof angle is,Is this laid down by the local council regs, and is there any movement on that if you for some reason decide on a bigger pitch. brilliant video,I ask because we are about to have a very similar job done the end of May, and when i look around locally there seem to that some extensions do have slight differences

[@rainbowcolours6361]

thanks for the videos. i loved all your part 1-5, what is the exact size of this extension? is it 6mX 4m? we r expecting to start a similar project this week. i missed the drain connections and roof insulation information in your video.

[@mrjuice24]

How much will cost? Did you find a builder? Mine will be 7x4.2m

[@paulcollins6221]

No cavity trays

[@mikeed1944]

Not enough description of the little bits... you can see what's happening but not going into enough detail... shame coz I like his vids

[@paulcollins6221]

Pitch of roof too low

[@blancabianca4137]

WTF make such a deep foundation for such a tiny extension ? ?

[@nige1568]

Yep. Way over the top. Good hard ground and huge doors and windows= hardly any weight on those huge deep footings

[@stcpfc7877]

Brilliant work

[@DazzleInk_Tattoo_Studio]

How did you secure the long planks to the board on the wall?

[@foundationgood123]

DazzleInk Darren Naughton Hi, the “rafters” are secured to the wall plate with 4” screws

[@MegaThepow]

How much does the whole project cost? Thanks for sharing

[@TurinTuramber]

I would have set the wall plate lower and notched the bottom of the rafter out to fit. Give it mechanical strength or tacked on with 4" nails then fitted a joist bracket. IMO

[@NeilRobertTurner]

Top Job.

[@yasminghani2073]

Amazing job

[@shawnlion4778]

Marvelous job

[@1603mingers]

What pitch is that roof?

[@foundationgood123]

Approx 18/19 degrees....4in12

[@badboybubby69]

Chris Longhurst No way is that 18 degrees looks about 12 still be ok I bet 👌🏻

[@MMG_MoonManGuitar]

Ralecks78 yeah i thought it looked about 12/13 degrees. Minimum is 15 for velux windows. But pantiles allow 11-12 degrees i believe. But superb job regardless. Well done Chris and the team. 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

[@shifty277]

@@badboybubby69 is the man going to lie after putting the roof on? I doubt it. On camera it may look 10 degrees in which case you would say lots of work needs to be done to accommodate such a low pitch but it's obviously the film not showing what is is in true form...

[@shifty277]

Please dont tell me man strength got that steel in place im sweating thinking about it!! Lol. The last job I was on a hall and 2 flats above the steel fellas insisted all 4 of us on the day could get the steel in place without the agg of genie which was not due for delivery to site until the next day. I will walk off the job the next time such a span wants to be put up by man lol. Anyway related to your video, nice job throughout, you might wanna develop some heavy duty skin for youtube for the ever so common idiot looking to come on here and tell you how shit you are and everything you've done is!! "Hes not a brickys, hes not a chippy, why is he wearin a pink top is he a poof, state of that muck thats not cream!" Expect those insecure idiots theres plenty of em on here. Enjoy your stuff, and again is nice to see the patience to film ya work as you go. Skill Builder and Stu Crompton are another 2 gangs on here I enjoy watching who have the patience to film their work. Thumbs up 👍

[@foundationgood123]

RSJ's are a real danger to be handling and Genie's are a must!

[@liammccarron8191]

Major problems down the line, five maybe ten years, underfloor heating as far as I'm concerned shouldn't be allowed, not fixable in the event of a problem. No joist hangers??? Mmm. Looks nice however.

[@stephjans6411]

how much does it cost to build an extension like this? Approximately, Plus/Minus a few thousand of pounds.

[@foundationgood123]

Steph Jans ) £30,000 plus-depending on area and what it entails ie plastering, painting, kitchen etc

[@stephjans6411]

@@foundationgood123 Many Thanks for your reply. How many square meters is the size of the extension?

Planning permision is around £2000-3000. Is that right?

You guys really do not know how to build a roff. You shall have hidden problems with diffusion quite son, specially if you have trees near by. And drainage of building. This house shall start to grow inside, many problems with condensation.

What's a roff and how do you know his sons quite

[@leemarley816]

Sorry but more critical cpmments from me.again if that was my project I would have taken down and rebuilt that old cavity wall you've used as load bearing piers just beacause some structural engineer told you it's O. K.dont mean it is.i would have dug new concrete padstone foundations and built solid piers in engineering bricks another days work a bit more expense but at least it's going to be safe.how comes none of your people wear any basic p.p.e. ?no hard hats doing this type of demolition work? Exposing yourself and others to risk is not a good idea.

[@foundationgood123]

Lee Marley What you are telling me you would do is called over-spec and not Necessary, also would involve a lot more than one days labour thus putting more unnecessary expense on the price...Wearing hard hats is down to us and some guys won’t wear them they have the choice the hats are there but thats their choice!

[@jofasable]

@@foundationgood123 I watch your videos and learned a lot, you have a great crew and you are very good a teaching.

[@justicecase19]

You'll always get the odd prick with a bunch of roses. Good job Chris.

[@dkaloupis75]

You might be right at some extend in regards the extra mile in terms of money and labour for the additional dug and concrete piers etc, however stay there and do not say a single more word for this gentleman Mr. Chris Longhurst as his job was superb and 10 star's rated, and at the end of the day you have no single word to say on top of that! MY CIRCUS-MY MONKEYS! What's your problem anyways? Congratulations Mr.Longhurst! You just won a customer!

One word: Diarrhoea. Cealing made of wood 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. Utterly Rubbish Brirish construction. The only thing that it's okay is how you made the floor for that extension. Does the foundation not require steel rebarbs laid horizontally and verts coming out of it to secure the walls ? Does that British hut with the extension you built now worth half a million on the market ? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
