The Nightmare of Moving Drains & Sewerage Pipes | Extension #2

[@AmsNl2BcnEs]

5 years on and still very useful. He does some of the best videos of this type on KZbin, love seeing them. Cheers for sharing.

[@_s_p_a_r_k_e_s_7615]

As a structural engineer I find these videos brilliant! Helps me get a better understanding as to what you guys have to do on site and the problems you come across. Which hopefully means I can give you guys practical/buildable solutions in the future.

[@jonathancollins9431]

Pure class, pure professionalism. What a gift that you're sharing your knowledge on KZbin.

[@engr810]

Thanks for educating us and also working on issues which one may encounter our many years, by offering solutions you are saving valuable time of engineers, builders and everyone

[@judegraham463]

Every video demonstrates something about a build. Thanks once again Roger.

[@220274mark]

I've never worked as a labourer or on a building site but man,you gotta admire these guys. Very clever workers.

[@TheAudiostud]

Skill Builder is my No: 1, if there's a project that needs doing around the house or garden and if it's new & informative I always watch the Skill Builder first! The content & production is always clear and precise no ifs or buts it's always Great Work, Well Done ! "When Bisby's about, there is no doubt! The work will always get done"

[@SkillBuilder]

Thank you. That is very kind.

[@CG10AJG]

Great project to follow, can’t wait for part 3. Part 1 was brilliant, glad you’ve decided to make the rest of the parts as in-depth. 👍🏻

[@SherSingh-fl9by]

Carl Greaves too g learn

[@cowbridgedance]

Thank goodness for tradespeople like yourselves. So skilled and proud of doing things correctly. Hard graft, I am sure. Salt of the earth. So impressed. Do hope you are training up the youngsters.

[@Steve_Van777]

Packed in bricklaying in 2010 due to the lack of work around. Watching these videos makes me want to pick up the trowel again. Miss all the private jobs. Wouldn’t want to go back house bashing.

[@koffibanan3099]

Love this type of video. Thanks for the effort of filming, while doing this kind of work, you've got enough on your mind, as is.

[@SkillBuilder]

you are so right. Out working today on my own and had to get the work done so no time to film.

[@christopherc7757]

Super project. The time you're taking to describe your work is much appreciated. This is addictive viewing. Thank you very much.

[@smashogre4766]

2:49 "It'll be a good job, but it'll take a bit of doing." Mr. Bisby, you are a class act, sir!

[@fazerfaze]

american plumber here love watching your vids and hearing the different terms for everything.

[@asbusinos]

If all builders will treat problems as challenges, there will be peace on earth.

[@carl4406]

This is bloody brilliant, I’m buying a bungalow and have all sorts of ideas and your videos on this channel really are useful and honest too ! I know exactly what I’m getting myself into ! Take care

[@DumbAndDubber]

You are doing some great work, there are plenty of people that are interested in that kind of work. People who want to become bricklayer or plumbers etc

[@RDStewart1992]

Hi there, I'm an architecture student taken a year break while I undertake a project with a client. These videos are very useful. I've been to various building sites on initiation to see their techniques - there's nothing better that can inform what the clients and their contractors needs in their drawings.

[@SkillBuilder]

Good to know. Hopefully, you will design a building that can be built. Many are just ego trips for the architect.

[@JohnSmith-ts8xp]

Future architect here gaining an insight into the construction process - really good videos, you've earned a subscriber.

[@lincordery2506]

REALLY ENJOYED ROGER THE SETTING OUT I KNOW IT COMES EASY TO YOU GUYS BUT US MERE MORTALS CAN GET A LOT OF KNOWLEDGE FROM YOU GUYS AND ITS ALSO REALLY APPRECIATED ONCE AGAIN GREAT AND ALSO GREAT CAMERA WORK

[@markrussell9719]

Hi Roger - I am doing a self build at the moment so please keep the videos coming. Looking forward to seeing part three etc. Mark

[@MrGlenfraser]

Great work Roger keep it up, this is the stuff that people want !!! hence your viewing figures.......

[@michaelchapman4269]

Love this channel. Wets the appetite of a job I’d rather be doing than the one that I’m doing. Just not got the balls to do!! Fantastic work again, looking forward to the next instalment.

[@SkillBuilder]

I would say that if you invest a bit in yourself and go to evening classes or something you can pick up the bare bones of a trade then you just need to build your experience. There is demand out there for building trades and when I decided to leave 'secure' employment and a steady wage it was a big step I had a mortgage and two kids and almost everyone I spoke to told me not to do it. With nothing in the bank I had to go out and earn from day one. It took a couple of years to get established but 35 years later I am very glad I did it. It is hard work but I love work.

[@m.a.9471]

Rodger , your are JEM , So nicely and clearly explanation is superb , thanks for uploading this video

[@HomeImProveMentHow]

Thank you for sharing, I find most of the videos don't give detail to give you the overall picture they show you a little bit here and there but the key components are usually left out so I find things that we take for granted because we know, we just expect everyone else to know and generally that's not the case if you're searching on KZbin it's because you don't know or you don't have enough information to do it yourself so thanks again for sharing in your concern for helping people get the whole picture of how to do this that's extensive work you're doing in the details make it all happen thanks again

[@SHANUSHAH]

Can't wait for your part 2 , revised video on drains , well done Skill Builders keep on making this videos. Thank You.

[@MrMagsimus]

Roger thank you ! Thank you , thank you 🙏🏼 wot else can I say mate , your videos are fantastic ✊👍

[@TheLondonForever00]

Love this channel, I've learned a lot. Roger, you guide us through superbly and Robin is a joy to watch, both very knowledgable guys. Thanks for the videos, they are really great to watch. When are you fellas going to get yourselves on TV instead of all the other idiots, you'd have an amazing following. Do it!

[@MatSmithLondon]

Excellent stuff, really glad you’re back to being onsite. It’s so much more interesting and learning loads. We have been through most of our sewage lays and most of it is now concreted over but still plenty of sewage connection work to be done in the new home!

[@SkillBuilder]

Hi Mat Good to hear from you again. I saw all your pictures of your place and tried to contact you to come up and have a look. I am still interested.

[@MatSmithLondon]

Skill Builder I’ll send you a message!

[@hepburn118]

And subscribed, you are a born teacher mate. Enjoying this from Australia and learning how to do my extension.

[@SkillBuilder]

Hi Shaun Happy New Year. I laughed at that 'born teacher' comment. My teachers at school would tell you I was a complete waste of space.

[@hepburn118]

I would hazard a guess mine would too fella, the one's at uni are more than likely doing the same. Keep up the excellent videos, i will be watching with great enthusiasm and spending much time going through all your older work to boot.

[@hepburn118]

Oh, happy new year to you too.

[@Blobjonblob]

Thames Water still stuck using old methods. Solid work Roger.

[@SkillBuilder]

Yes it is strange but they want to jet the sewers with 7,500 psi and they say plastic won't take it. Hepworth Supersleeve comes with plastic inspection chambers and I doubt that the jettting machine will put a hole in them so who knows.

[@Mkhan_89]

Looking forward to all the episodes, keep up the great work

[@Eldorado1253]

Great vid Roger I loved building brick chambers not so many now what with the plastic, really looking forward to next vid keep up the good work.

[@hometablet8292]

Awesome narrative skills 👊🏽

[@SCWatches]

Thank you for such a clear helpful video. I know it means extra work but impressed that Thames Water have guidelines and insist on clay pipes. The horrors I have uncovered here; foam, newspapers to seal waste joints and an old vinyl tile to fix a broken clay pipe I wish Brighton was a little bit more interested in what the local ‘ builders’ are up to.

[@TheDykos]

Good video, saved me a big argument with old man and misses 🙌🏿👌🏾😎

[@lazylad8544]

Could of done with your help today Rodger. Had to mess about with a pressure release valve on a shower. Who'd of thought a bit of plastic could cause so much trouble. 👍👍👍

[@SkillBuilder]

Did it have a rubber bursting disc inside it?

[@lazylad8544]

Yes, and only found out through the Internet that once it goes it's gone. Had to buy a new one. Only 7 quid so not to painful. Got a email off an old plumber who told me the ball vall ones were even worse. 👍

[@SkillBuilder]

Yes he is right. I got a pack of those bursting discs for a fiver but I had to charge the customer £50 because it was my daughter and I need to put her off calling me out.

[@lazylad8544]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@ryanhorsburgh7782]

"Put the filming before the work" 😂 quality.. Love the videos

[@vladpet9029]

Well done, young man.

[@Messimagician83]

Would you be able to do a video on talking about foundations, depth to dig out and fill with concrete for different projects? Everything from extensions, internal walls, steps to bbq? Also explaining the different mixes for each. Thanks

[@PizzeyTechnology]

Roger, I'm a new subscriber and this is the second video I've watched. Your videos are much better than the others I've seen.

[@SkillBuilder]

Thanks and welcome

[@zane6505]

Great video mate. Keep it up!! I 'd love to know in detail about drains and their installations etc.

[@atherdoshi4590]

Excellent videos Roger!

[@mahmoodzahid8488]

Excellent .learnt a lot .watched this video several times .well explained .what size of pvc sewerage pipe are used in replace please ??

[@fgcvhhbvjhbj]

Really enjoying your videos Roger, thanks for that. Planning on using your dryrods technique soon 👍

[@zedman442]

Nice one Roger. Been looking forward to these videos.

[@neilspedding5880]

Great work. Love the shows

[@benhurley280]

Decent lad, good explanation. Hats off 👍🏻

[@3ziz9615]

Love your channel..keep it up 👍🏼

[@SkillBuilder]

Thanks so much!

[@Adrian-AosFotos-Irish]

Great job Roger !!

[@kewalchahal7779]

Great video, Could you let me know if you have managed to create a drain special video? If so could you let me have the link to it. Thanks again for your great video

[@idreesbk]

Well done my friend... thanks for sharing 👍

[@MrJohnnynapalm7]

Hi Roger - I saw in the background to the video you used what looked like concrete ‘H’ blocks. Could you cover why you used them and how the wall was built please (in a later shot it looks like they’re filled with rebar and concrete?) Many thanks and keep up the good work.

[@SkillBuilder]

Hi Paul They are called hollow concrete blocks and they are usually reinforced when there is ground pressing against them. We run the rebar from the foundations through the hollows and then fill the concrete blocks with wet concrete.

[@MrJohnnynapalm7]

Skill Builder - many thanks for your swift response, Roger. Stay safe 👍

[@amirrahimi4281]

Thank you Roger your wonderful I have learned a lot from you

[@stevebentman1139]

Good stuff Roger

[@drgrowuk8830]

Great video Rodger 👏👏 I’m just doing an extension and need to block or remove existing pipes ? And put in new pipes for toilet and sink and washing machine Any advice you may have would be most helpful Thanks 👍✌🏻😷

[@34stylestreet]

Hey dude , well done for doing a great job and creating lovely videos , am about to start a project of my own but am no builder by any means but its good to learn what is going to happen when the contractors start the job. You are a fantastic builder and doing a great job with the vlog. Excellent stuff keep it up!!!

[@williamkennedy5492]

I wish this channel was available when i did my ext !

[@plummetplum]

I'm considering building a side extension to my kitchen, one storey high. Unfortunately next door have a breeze block shed next to my current fence where foundations will be. Any suggestions on my approach to dig foundations without disturbing the shed? Thanks.

[@laxpsdlimbu7912]

Really useful n learnt a lillte from it. Thanks

[@tajjules7612]

This is brilliant, quality stuff

[@taylorsweet4395]

may I ask what is the general depth of this extension drainage pipe? Thank you so much.

[@alexlancashire9110]

Thank you, thank you, clears a lot of the fog in my mind as to how to.... awesome work much appreciated :-))

[@shakilchaz5478]

Excellent work.. Excellent video.. GSOH..

[@thechillies5748]

Hi i am just in process of building two storey extension and it has a drain going under diagonally, please could you tell me what king of lintel i would need if possible, any help would be highly appreciated...

[@paulharter991]

These are great videos to watch with great in depth tips , I’ve bought 2 old lock up garages to the rear of my property which I would like to convert to a woodwork shop & annexe but they are separated from my house by a back entry/alleyway so I don’t know how to go about getting utility supply water/elec can architect advise on this cheers for any pointers 👍

[@mattallen8164]

Great video. Bit of a shame part 2 hasn't covered what you've done in terms of the brickwork and more in depth on the pipework, but I appreciate you taking effort to explain why. I'm currently unearthing 40m of soil pipe, ready for replacement. It would have been nice to see what the regs consist of in real life.

[@SkillBuilder]

We will make ammends. There is lots of brickwork to come and I will revisit the drains.

[@SN-hx4mg]

I would like to ask you a question, sir . I am building one story extension behind my house, but the problem is that there is a sewer pipe that goes under the building. Do I have to build a wall on both sides of the pipe and put lintels over before I put the slab over or just small stones around the pipe ? Kind regards Spartak

[@SkillBuilder]

You must put a lintel over the pipe and leave room for any settlement. Then surround it in pea shingle.

[@mystrium333]

Whats that thing on drill that you use to file the pipe mate ?

[@aagnieszka881]

Your videos are huge help for DIYers like myself. Can you please tell me if drainage and sewerage pipes cross or only run parallel to eachother?

[@paulramos5373]

Hi, what happens is you don’t follow regs? Our builder has just stuck a white pipe from the kitchen sink and dishwasher, just into the ground. And what’s more it’s pointing into our neighbours garden! Thanks.

[@yochanantov5490]

Excellent!!

[@NY-Dani]

Great video, so helpful.

[@TGritzencoFerramentas]

Nice job man, I like this kind of job......

[@Aidan-LM02]

Great job I had an extension done as a wash room for my grandad but I’m noticing leaks from when they joined it to the house and cracks which I will have to fill but the roof is flat with stones on top but when they left they left all nails in the roof and most of the rubble on the floor and also there jackhammer chisel inset behind.

[@SkillBuilder]

It sounds to me as though they didn't put cavity trays in the wall. It is common to find this job hasn't been done. Can you send us some video or pictures so we can have a look at it? www.skill-builder.uk/contact

[@christopherwilliams4395]

Love this guy

[@azizmarzouki2059]

Very much appreciate

[@ScottDavey]

Just subscribed as doing a self build and your videos are great!

[@fy_ldn]

Great video! How can I find out where my pipe work is? Is there a specific finder online?

[@ratsameecunningham666]

Wow good job my husband's brother is a builder but don't think he gets his hands dirty as much as you now

[@joannedunmore459]

Fantastic tradesman.... Where are u based???

[@d123g2000]

Hi guys I'm moving my kitchen to the other side of a large room to the other , the new kitchen will require drainage for sink and dishwasher but the soil pipe is at the other side of the room ( old kitchen side) what type of gully pot do I need for new pipework to go into ?

[@Bradleyboys2008]

we are planning for a single story extension where we need to bridge over an existing sewer, do you have any info on how to do that?

[@SkillBuilder]

We have a little bit coming up soon on our new extension series. Basically you just place lintels over the drain with a 6 inch clearance. Pour pea shingle around the drains to help protect them.

[@bilalabdallah8605]

Good morning Roger, further to my question, it’s actually called An inspection chamber which is in the back garden and it needs to be moved in order to build an extension 15 square meters. Can you advise. Thanks Bilal

[@SkillBuilder]

This is a fairly standard thing. I moved one last week.If you have never done it then you might like to employ a groundworker because Thames Water want it done like for like so that might mean using clay rather than plastic. It is a pain in the butt.

[@abidramzan8684]

greatly beneficial vids. well done.

[@allywilson4416]

azaming series love it. great videos

[@womblestacker7993]

When building walls out skin inner walls or two layers of bricks what roughly is measurements do you lose or thickness

[@toomuch9762]

Would have been cool to see some of the drain work alright. Great videos though. Interesting stuff

[@umbertogiannini]

brilliant stuff

[@dplayford]

what is the link for the drain installation as you mentioned in your video?

[@pjmanc]

Hi Rodger, what fall do you recommend for a 110mm soil waste pipe? I have 15 metres of pipe to run up my back garden.

[@SkillBuilder]

the usual is 1 in 40 but if it is more there is no real harm

[@kevanguyatt7100]

1 in 40 is recommended in plastic on foul drainage 1 in 60 on the storm drainage. Slightly more or less is not a major issue however if there’s to much fall on the foul they say solids in the pipe can get left behind and eventually cause blockages.

[@SkillBuilder]

Yes you do hear that about exceeding the recommended fall. I have a fall of 1 in zero on my soil stack and it never blocks up. Having said that I would like to know how it works in a skyscraper. The shit must hit maximum velocity.

[@LunchBoxArcades]

Great video thanks

[@t4bff]

did you waterproof the outside of the cellar wall? would like to know how if you did

[@SkillBuilder]

We put up a membrane and draped it down across the ground to deflect water away. We didn't use anything else because those hollow concrete blocks are filled with concrete so there is very little chance of a leak. We are tanking the inside of the wall with a membrane.

[@bilalabdallah8605]

Good Morning Roger and the skill builder team. I am in the process of undertaking a kitchen extension, 15 square metres. The garden has a man hole which services several properties. I understand I need to apply for a Thames Water build over agreement, which is chargeable. The architect wants me to produce a sketch drawing of how I propose to extend or move the manhole/drainage. I spied like some ideas as to the best way forward and perhaps a sketch. Can you advise please. Kind regards Bilal

[@syedmaqureshi5590]

indeed best present

[@amateurvegan2636]

How come your using concrete lintels rather then cavity wall?

[@caseywilkinson1711]

What is the yellow drill bit on the wall called for the soil pipe?

[@SkillBuilder]

KEAH Plastic Pipe Chamfering Tool 4" / 100mm you can get one from independent plumbers' merchants

[@lynnwallace334]

Yea realy good video v.education but you got it spot on pal think wee need more info on the subject at hand would be more helpful for people to get more out of it especially if you are only a novice or someone who is trying to fix something at home
