Sheathing install and Batsafe breather membrane

[@jharris7407]

Well done Ed you never know keep improving and Robin might let you use that Hilti !!😊

[@philmyerscough1]

Love how Ed asked which side you want the writing and you gave an answer. It's the little touches of care that show the attention to detail is amazing on both of your work!

[@DIYLONDON]

Learning a fair bit from Robin, just goes to show that, being methodical and careful planning and setting out, you can achieve stunning and fast results, even keeping the osb off the floor ! Love it ❤

[@kevinlawes591]

Obviously when it comes to bats being safe robin is the man! 😉😆

[@SteveStevieboy]

It’s coming on nicely Robin,good how you are explaining everything,really look forward to every video,thankyou👍

Thanks, will do!

Good to see you back, everything going well, very interesting about the Batsafe .

[@keithbrueton]

Great content as always

[@ukconstruction]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@tmenzella]

One cut, other fix - always. You get into a nice rhythm doing just one op plus you know exactly who done what if there’s a cock up 😋. 3/4 OSB and Oak FE cladding - that’s a proper job, as always 👍🏻👍🏻

[@davidturnbull265]

Great content again Robin. Many thanks.

Thanks David

Nicework robin would love to work with you mate stuff I could learn off you mate love your work I've learnt loads watching your videos anything to make the job easier

I had a door dipped to strip the paint. Perhaps you can get the same thing done for radiators

[@leeberry9666]

Hi Robin just wanted to say what a good video is. If you get time get a look at the very small print on each board. Interesting.

[@ukconstruction]

Hi Lee, my boards dont seem to have small print... what have you seen on yours???

[@Tropa-Pro]

Nice job 👍

[@ukconstruction]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@DarrenIngram-t1d]

Great job lads. 👏🏻 I noticed you gapped the 18mm OSB, did you have to allow for that slight creeping effect on the boards to remain half lap when you put the last board on as you’d soon add an extra 1/2 - 3/4 of an inch with the spacing. It always surprises me for trades person that really does a good job doesn’t have as many followers as someone that just waffles all day! Really enjoyable to watch as always.

[@ukconstruction]

Hi Darren, The boards come up very slightly under 8ft by 4ft this allows us to maintain a 2 or 3mm gap between as recommended, if we do creep sometimes we will adjust a board with the saw.... as far as followers are concerned .. I could probably do better with my video production and gain a few more!!

[@DarrenIngram-t1d]

The videos are spot on! Just perfect for when I have my 10 o’clock break🙂. A lot of people do these short little clips, it’s not the same and it’s only to get a quick viewing. In my honest opinion, I just think people look at your videos regards quality of work and say na, takes too long or they can do it quicker……. But then as you know the end result is nowhere near, it probably says more about the quality of work out there. I’m glad you said you trim a bit off with a saw, I know you think ahead so methodical and I thought to myself if you’ve space those studs to allow for that 2-3 mm gap, I’m giving up my job😂. I like to think I think ahead, but he didn’t reassure me that you’re human and was nice to hear. Look forward to the next video keep up the good work, mate 👍🏻

[@neil-mv3it]

You could have screwed a stanley blade onto the batten to cut dpc and just dragged the batten down,nice neat job would not expect nothing else

[@swedge1988]

What was the reasoning for a wooden structure here, and how long would it last? just thinking about a personal project :)

[@ukconstruction]

It is a really traditional design seen in many rural areas this is the main reason for the style and wooden structure, a decent wooden structure will last hundreds of years if looked after check out some of the historical wooden structures at the Weald and Downland open air Museum some of which are several hundreds of years old

[@swedge1988]

@@ukconstructionthanks for the reply and I’ll check that out:)

[@scottnever8732]

another great video thanks, do you allow for expansion gaps when setting out? What's happened to your roofing square?

[@ukconstruction]

Hi Scott, at 16 inch centres the imperial boards will fit with about 2 to 3 mm of space, my roofing square will be available hopefully around easter time, do you use Instagram? I will be talking about it there more regularly soon

[@scottnever8732]

@@ukconstruction mate I don't know how facebook works so no chance with that new instagram or tiktok

[@FiscalWoofer]

6:25 2-3mm expansion between boards?

[@ukconstruction]

Yes I have popped a video link card to another video that I did about this maybe check this out

[@DlStreamnet]

Any reason they went for two instead of one bigger structure? It is a huge amount of money for quite small garages?

[@ukconstruction]

Its a design to suit its position

[@jonathansanders4540]

A lot of clients who have a lot of money, like to separate their cars due to environmental factors. One client i had a car that need to be in a heat controlled space to minimise air damage to the chassis (car was an Aston DB4 zagato.. which is millions - client was a hedge fund multi multi millionaire)

[@Xknoxy444X]

Is osb breathable ?

[@ukconstruction]

Standard OSB3 is considered to be slightly breathable

[@paulasser1589]

Can I ask why you didn’t make a 6’ rod when cutting the OSB instead of using the tape ?

[@ukconstruction]

There was only a small number of six foot cuts then we are making 4 ft cuts to use the 2 ft offcuts, if i was making only 6ft cuts then a rod as you say would be even quicker

[@Dan-tj7ft]

Ed is brave wearing rings.

[@zedman442]

Bats and newts. Government are doing more for them than us simple folk 😂

[@ianjohnson1207]

That’s because not enough bats, too many simple folk😀

[@waynecharlton954]

What osb boards size have you got 2438 x 1220 = 8 feet x 4 feet so your 16 inch centres are every 406 mill just over

[@ukconstruction]

Yes Wayne they are a fraction under 8 x 4

[@craigrobertsonmsc.6260]

Can I ask do you have a contract in place, or do you just build it and it gets handed over when it is finished.

[@ukconstruction]

I have a verbal contract in place, Jack the boss will have a contract I guess

[@craigrobertsonmsc.6260]

@@ukconstruction Thanks. All the best.

[@chelps6411]

alot of council ecologists dont like new bat safe menmbrane..we got forced to use the old bitumen type.

[@ukconstruction]

The old type is not breathable and is fine where you dont need a breather we call the type 1F

It was proper cold at the time of filming!!

[@majl1000]

Haha, thought it was a sponsorship deal.

[@wrightwoodwork]

Im guessing the bat safe membrane is now a stipulation if your property had bats found in the survey. My brother had a bats in in survey and got told they can get through something like a hole the size of a pinky. I'll need ti mention it to him . The plans the architect did have to be the best plans I've ever seen every detail is done with dimensions. None of this getting a scale rule out and nonsense getting a wrong size.

[@billrimmer5596]

Is the “governor” the owner, or the general contractor u r subbing for?

[@themanchesterhunter]

what does first mean?

[@sttm1283]

why 18mm? wouldntt a standard 13mm osb do?

[@ukconstruction]

There is almost nothing in the price and I personally like the rigidity and the extra strength that it provides

[@ReedikTuuling]

​@@ukconstruction In terms of shear strength, the thickness of the OSB doesn't matter (essentially). 13mm for 600OC is optimal, and anything thicker means you are just lugging extra weight around. There are cases for thicker boards on walls, but usually for extra fire resistance.

[@gerard_3864]

Quick question, do you have to leave an expansion gap between the OSB or do you just butt them together.

[@ukconstruction]

Yes its a couple of MM

[@gerard_3864]

@ukconstruction Thank you 👍

[@josh985tv]

Just because the Bats are protected doesn't mean we should help that nuisance species. And it's amazing that the eco regs are so vital unless you need to help bats. Rob, this is BS And you know it.

[@ukconstruction]

It is also law!!! I follow the rules and sometimes I do not agree with them or like them, but the fines for harming or killing bats are big!!!
