We would like to say a massive thanks to you Robin for giving us (Southern Screed) the opportunity to appear in on one of your videos. It has been great working with you on this project and we look forward to seeing the finishing product! Thanks again from James, Dan and Claudia
@@ukconstruction I think that is one of the reasons u have a great relationship with all your subcontractors. Obviously, u have to pay them, but treating people with respect and dignity endears them to u. Even if it’s someone who loads your dumpster. I think u guys call it a skip. That garden room is going to b amazing!! Can’t wait for u to fill the pool. I imagine u will heat the pool with the refrigeration system. Of course natural gas is faster and maybe cheaper. But your pool will b so well insulated that it won’t cost much to heat it year round. Dehumidifying the room the pool is in is essential for everything to last. Also, u don’t want to over chlorinate the water. The vapor coming off the pool can b very corrosive. The pool will get very little dirt in it. Just what your guests track in. Some people have their dogs in the water. Over the years, I have serviced some indoor pools for customers in Bel Air and Beverly Hills and so have experienced first hand what I am talking about.
All good guys at southern screed, with the patience of saints (i know how annoying i can be) bent over backwards to help me out with my monstrosity of a house.
Nice job Robin, you seem to genuinely respect their work, which is so refreshing to see, I got Southern Screed to quote for a big job I did a couple of years back, and they came back a fair bit more expensive than others, but the quality is definitely there.
We would love the opportunity to quote for you on any future projects, we are always happy to discuss our prices so please drop us a line if there is anything we can help you with.
It's great to have guys like Dan and James providing no fuss services to such a high and professional level in the UK Constitution industry I am lucky to know them!!
Looks like a dream to tile. I have seen gypcrete done in the states many times and this operation with one guy looks so much easier and smoother. Although the gypcrete can be walked on and worked on much sooner.
Just watched “The Box” video and the first thing I thought was… What is that floor!? Looks ace Robin. Can’t believe how wet it goes down! Oh… that Hikoki battery table saw is a nice bit of kit as well!
Nice bit of video'ing Robin, definitely a method that makes more sense on some site. James and Dan seem like good eggs too👍 I'm in Kent, so will definitely make note - although I think I've seen James face on site before.
nice job Robin, I had a similar product on my house extension flooring the end result was fantastic with no more than a 3 mm drop after it had dried out .
Soooo satisfying to watch a wet screed flow .... Thinking of back in the day, knocking up the sand'n'cement by hand - Just Me, My shovel, trusty wheelbarrow and a few lengths of 4x2's to get an 80yd house screed finished in a day - A bit of a back-breaker being a Plasterer, rather than a full-time screeder 😄 .... Is the cost an issue though? it looks expensive 🥴
Very impressive. So much easier than lugging concrete. Under that screed is it type 1, sand blinding, dpm, 100mm nsulation and then another dpm? Cheer Rob.
Benefits of anhydrite far out weigh cement based products until you get to the point of fitting a floor, then you start to loose some of the time and money you've saved due to the grinding and prep required to get it ready for flooring
What do you do with the perimeter edge strip? Do you cut it down to screed level after it's dried and tile over it, or leave it and put tiles down the cut it at tile height?
I have a question. I see that you have your timber frame, and wall insulation in place, as well as sheathing and gypsum boarding. THEN, what do you do with this excessive expansion band at the corner, and even if you cut it, wont it still be like 6-7mm gap? Or and even if you cut it, won't then the water get in (in case you spill something at the wall corner?)
Well its covered by skirting boards, if there is an escape of water then yes possible it could migrate into that space after seeping under the skirting
@@ukconstruction Thank you Sir. I'm an architect, and was trained in reinforced-concrete buildings. Timber frame is more of western hip,. Buy, I'm very curious, because, I guess that there shall be something to do with that.
@@ukconstruction yea we have laid a ton of this stuff and use Cemfloor, you can lay up to 150m2 without expansion joints. But we always out expansion joints in doorways and reinforcing at external corners as the slab always wants to crack at these points. But we still have some cracking. Will be interested to see when you commission the heating if you have any cracking.
