Your attention to detail is amazing, not many companies would go that extra mile and power wash the driveway, most would just give it a brush 👏👍

Cheers Michael 🤜🏽🤛🏽🧱👍🏽

Job well done fellas, very tidy. I know I keep repeating myself, your attention to detail is a credit to you both. Never saw this dedication from a builder during my project managing days, I’m certain you’ll never be short of work…

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

Cheers Steve 🧱👍🏽

[@markdauncey927]

Well done! Finally finished! Such poor weather but perseverance pays off at last!

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

😁🥳🧱👍🏽

[@davecleggett9371]

Meticulous attention to detail makes you stand out from the rest, especially the tidying up at the end of a job. Brilliant result from a 'taxing' job, which is fast becoming the norm for you two guys - well done fellas. BTW, don't expect those lightly-toasted bacon and egg sarnies at every job Al, it ain't gonna happen! Which may be good for your waistline! Onwards and upwards - let's hope for good news re your hip soon Steve. Thank you again for sharing.

[@DB-ok8zf]

Hi mate, question about your threshold/doorway details in general, how come on some jobs you built up the inner leaf in the threshold and others you run the slab right up to the outer leaf insulated upstand, and do you insulate that bottom threshold cavity between the dpc and weak mix, or leave it empty, cheers guys

Nice job very professional. Im thinking of doing something similar,just out of interest how much would this cost roughly?

Hi just a quick Q. If the depth of the old brick is different to the new brick how wd u gauge it..??

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

You can’t . No way it can be done 😬🧱👍🏽

[@gorgen23]

Another few “SUPERLIKES” and Alex may get a van as well😂

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

He doesn’t drive . Any super chats we get KZbin take 60 % , that’s why they push them so hard 😒

[@dominictinsley2565]

Have you ever thought about using 90mm celotex in the walls with 10mm gap. Better and works out so much cheaper. You don’t lose 50mm internal space, PIR works out at £12m2 and the ditherm32 is £20. Then the cavity lintels are so much cheaper as well as cavity closures. It’s a win win win 🙌🏻

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

Not a chance hate the stuff and hate block first 👎🏽

[@dominictinsley2565]

😂 FairPlay

[@dominictinsley2565]

Do brick first then cavity tab to keep the 10mm gap and lay the block tight to the insulation. Works a dream

[@markdauncey927]

​@dominictinsley2565 That's not how the manufacturer specifies construction sequence. They say block first then tape seal on cold side.

[@dominictinsley2565]

Does 150mm dritherm37 comply to new regs or does it have to be 32? Thanks

[@glynnepritchard2526]

Hows the new van treating you?

Our house was flooded after a deluge of rain. It turned out the builders across the road washed all the cement dust and sand down the drains and blocked them. Fricking nightmare..

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

That’s grim , I hope you got it all sorted 😳🧱👍🏽

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

@martin2466 😠😠🧱👍🏽

[@martynbuzzing3327]

@martin2466 It's like getting blood out of a stone with the council. They're just not interested.

[@user-vg6en6co2x]

It looked like you connected the roof downspout grid to the kitchen grid, which I assumed was on a different foul drain system. Is it okay to connect rain water run off to the foul waste system when doing extensions?

[@user-oe2fc8ur8x]

Suppose it depends where you are and on your building inspector. They definitely don’t let us in wales rain water can’t go into the foul over here

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

As it’s only a small amount we are hoping it’s ok 🧱👍🏽

[@davidbriggs8076]

Some developments have rainwater running into foul, but normally they are separate. Should really be checked by the whoever designed the extension

[@Ink706]

Should be in a soakaway, probably 4/5 meters from the building depending on region

[@davidconnolly7346]

Doesn’t that extension leak. No attempt to install a cavity tray with stepped flashings above the new rafters. The water from the cavity on the existing wall will run down the inside of the outer skin, straight into the room.

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

There isn’t any water in the existing cavity , did you see any ? It does leak though because it hasn’t got a roof on 😬

[@davidconnolly7346]

I really don’t understand your building methods in the UK. I’m a builder from Australia. We were taught that the external brick skin isn’t waterproof and that water that does penetrate runs down the back of the external brick down to the dpc and out the weep hole. Now I see you guys bridging cavities everywhere???? How do know there is no water in the cavity, you can’t see inside it????

[@martin2466]

They must have some right old leaky brickwork on those Australian builds, if they are getting that volume of water running down the back of the face-work... What are you doing - deliberately leaving the perp - joints open?

[@davidconnolly7346]

Steve I’m just trying to understand this. Yes we do leave open perp joints, I’ve never seen those plastic inserts you use. Water can’t enter a cavity through a peep it’s the other way around it acts as a drain. We do get a lot of rain. So are you saying that your cavities don’t get water in them, if so why are you using dpc and perps above window and door openings? In building a new build we leave clean outs at the bottom dpc which the bricklayers hose out every after to make sure the bottom dpc has no droppings and debris too. You certainly couldn’t build an extension like that without a new stepped cavity tray system above it.
