The ultimate how to build a garden room series part 5, rubber roof, fascia and soffit

[@simon381986]

The way Liam encourages the average DIYer to give this a go is so inspiring. I don't have the space at the moment for a garden room but it's going to happen one day. I bought a build pack just for bedtime reading 😂

[@TomYTP]

Couldn't be more correct about the tools, I brought loads of tools that I thought I needed to build my garden room / shed and didn't use hardly any of them. I only really used, Makita impact driver (100mm screws for pretty much everything) / hand saw / mitre saw / soft brush (for rubber roof) I thought I would give it a go and the result is fantastic. Built it all by myself (only needed a pair of hands to help lift the walls (because a 4.5m wall is hard to lift on your own) and I had to get someone in to do the electrics. Took me about a week to get the building watertight and with the doors and window in. Thanks to the videos on YT from this channel I knew how to do it. GET A BUILD PACK IF YOU WANT TO BUILD ONE!! Finally I spent around £7000 that is because it's more of a shed to me then a garden room. So I didn't buy a lot of insulation which cut the cost down. Keep up the great videos!

Cheers mate, thank a lot 🙌🏻

Brilliantly put together, brilliantly explained and brilliantly filmed by Davey as well 10/10

[@philphil3707]

You crack me up at the speed you work Liam, its like watching someone work in fast forward mode 😂

[@darrendown2333]

Hi Liam, it's really good to see you, John and Davey, back on site doing what you do best. Hopefully, some more work comes your way on the back of this informative garden room build. 👍🏻

[@andrews9967]

Great videos Liam as you inspire confidence to have a go. Did all the internal work on my garden mancave myself and saved a fortune and improved my DIY skills as well!!😂

[@87scaly]

Love watching these! As a DIYer that built themselves a 4x3 through watching your videos 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾

[@thomascoyne157]

Definitely a good way too do it, with your pack and instructions,plus your video 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@Cablesmith]

That tool for taking out a little track in the kingspan is absolutely sick 👌🏼

[@thegardenroomguru]

its nice isn't it? the same guy made the bar that tightens the nuts

[@sophiemaria1812]

i think i could tackle this !! Brilliant video cant wait for part 6

[@SimonPowell-o6c]

Nice one Liam another good video class mate have a good weekend see you next week weather on the turn next week cheers simon

[@jackgray5749]

It's incredible to get to this stage for about £3k. My 7x4 build plan keeps changing in my head with add-ons, pergolas or side shed space etc. Totally doable, can't wait to get cracking next spring.

[@jimjulien01]

Brilliant yet again guys. Many thanks for your videos on this build. Particularly interested in the French doors you're going to install. As far as I know I've not seen you in any of your previous videos fit French doors. Obviously same principle as bifold in a way but very interested in seeing you guys fit them and the windows. Thinking of French doors and casement window at front of my build in Spring 2025.

[@madbogman]

Love your videos! They are excellent for a DIY builder. I wish I had these videos years ago . The build packs will be very useful and will save time and at least a thousand off the cost. A suggestion is to approach a good builders merchant and get an affiliate program up and running for the materials Great stuff 👍

[@stehastings]

Another brill video 👍

[@Nicjr1]

Waiting for Fridays part 🙏😜

[@thegardenroomguru]

long weekend, just uploading todays

[@darrensanderson8645]

Love this series, it has given me confidence to have a go and build my mancave, cant wait to move to get it started, on another note... Liam how many times do you say 'like i say'? Can wait for seeing the rest and the big challenge of doing it myself. Keep it going pal

[@thegardenroomguru]

It’s either , like I say, right, or as you can see🫣good luck with it all mate

[@brianedwards7958]

Another top video 👌🏽

[@skiiddy]

Double legend!!

[@alt7288]

Great video, thanks

7:20 😂😅😅😂 comic genius

[@MarkDurbin]

Heaviest garden room roofers in the UK! :)

[@Cablesmith]

For the LED transformer, you can get Din rail mounted transformers so you can have them in the consumer unit, usually they take 2 spaces in the consumer unit. readily available, might be of use to you for future builds

[@thegardenroomguru]

thanks for this, didn't know, ill see if I can get one for the led, far better option, appreciate it

[@Cablesmith]

@@thegardenroomguru it’s always a challenge finding somewhere to hide an led driver, somewhere it doesn’t ruin the aesthetics of the room etc Din mounted in a big house you’ve gotta start worrying about the volt drop as well, but in a garden room the runs plenty short enough so you’ll always be sound

[@thegardenroomguru]

@@Cablesmith thanks again mate

[@LBailey22]

Hey Liam. Another great video. For the P trim, do you bother with the sealant or foam tape? Or ok as is?

[@thegardenroomguru]

we've never bothered with it mate, your going to get rain on your fascia anyway so any seepage wont be an issue.

[@TimHarrison1970]

I’d love to have a crack at one of these…just need to convince the Mrs

[@wheelerm100]

Another great video. Do you have any opinion on supersip rooms?

[@EdWilson-r7j]

Hey Liam, do you have a link for hose low profile downlights please mate?

[@plummetplum]

Liam, out of curiosity how long would it take two people to build a typical medium sized room?

[@thegardenroomguru]

me and John used to do them in around 10 days all in mate

[@markdavidson4809]

Fusebox (brand)do a bezel to allow you to semi-recess your consumer unit to any depth

[@CulturalArchitect]

Bloody Northern Building Plastics. Nice to know they've remained... consistent 😂

[@btmanbirdman1]

Evening guvnor

Evening

[@MrPaultracy]

how much did you charge

[@thegardenroomguru]

For what mate

[@gregcressey1791]

Just a quick couple questions 1 why did you just board with chipboard and screw in sides ad that's not a very good fixing why not ask the owner for there tv bracket and place noggins at that specific area for better stronger finish 2nd your consumer unit why have you used an rcd board instead of going with a nice rcbo unit more modern and fully 18th edition compliant ? Love the videos shame you couldn't.keel up the good work doing loads of installs?

[@thegardenroomguru]

modern tvs don't weigh what they used to mate, when this is behind the plater board its bullet proof, I'm qualified to install but I'm no electrician, rcbo is a good shout, this will be my last build however, so wont be going down that road again, might put one in the duplicate pod we are going to make in the new unit though

[@DarthVader-wc3rn]

Impregnate your roof???😂

[@Mo-fl9ww]

The worst job, cutting the insulation. Felt like I was in a Colombian drug den...
