STEP BY STEP CONCRETE SLAB AND INSULATION..BIG EXTENSION BUILD PT 4 

Everyone needs a hug. Great job well done.

Big slab boys, but always had it under control. Your customers are in safe hands You both do a fantastic job your. Absolutely love your Chanel 🤜👍

Wow what a big slab but you handled it like champions well done.👍👍👍😎😎😎

Steve, what a job. Admiration from me buddy!

Another job well done. Takes me back to days of old when It were me and the gang doing this hard work for a meal or two, and a couple of pints too. 🖖👍

Steve made look easy but bet it wasn't great job big slab to get down keep up great work look forward to nx video 👍 👍

That’s a big slap. You both handled it like champs. Can’t wait to see the next one.Cracking work lads. Thanks for the video care

Lol Steve…. Your foot work is the best….. new method in laying concrete 😂🔨💥🎉💥👍😁

I'm loving this extension lads and can't wait till 8.30pm

Someone has to be the New Benny Hill !! 😉 Your mic clips are funny ..

Awesome job chaps! Great to see

nice job ,I've done a large pad with wheel barrows myself never again to much hassel , cement pump trunk so much easier and saves time, not much more in cost 👍👍

Looks good and flat, nice work

Loads I don't get 😄people saying Bullfloat it but if you do that you then need to mag float it then steel finish it you would be there all night waiting for it to go of to get a good finish which just isn't viable in this country. I've done plenty of finish concrete floors but very few in the UK .99% of the jobs I do have UFH and services so oversite concrete then the screeders come in ,far better IMO as that is a cost that can be passed on to the customer rather than struggling with a perfectly good system but one that is not climaticly suited to the UK, great Vid by the way👍👌

I see Steve started using a dust mask whilst cutting the Celotex floor insulation with the power saw....very sensible. Alex should think about protecting his lungs too. Hard to know what that stuff is made of and the circular saw throws micro particles into the air.....hand cut wouldn't be so hazardous 'probably'. Excellent work chaps 👍

I saw the end of the last video and was like "yeep, that's gonna be a swimming pool by tomorrow 😅"

A lot of skill and knowledge on display here - very educational. Of I could be a dickhead and give a pointer on using a camera - try and have less movement; imagine the camera is someone's head and you'll get great framing. 👍🏻 Best of luck with work!

Just wondering, is it common for bricklayers to also lay floor slabs? Or something you've found offering suits these residential type jobs to reduce the number of subcontractors needed?

Steve get your self a bull float on a pole you will be able to go up and down both ways in one hit

Hate bloody concrete nice to see you using proper insulation board instead of jablite bet that was a shock to the wallet haha. We can't do slabs like this anymore in Yorkshire building control say they sink. We have to lay 100mm concrete then insulation board then 100mm concrete again. One of the reasons we do wood floors. Nice video lads

SLO MO drilla- killa

Does the cold bridging strip get screeded over when the internal floor is laid? Top work here by the way chaps, love it

Is this really premiering tomorrow morning @ 08:30 as I will have to go to work late so I can watch it?

Lads..again, you don't need to be fanning around with a level, its a liquid, all you have to do is push the Co-Co pops below the milk, Tamp the top with a heavy timber, trowel the edges, a liquid will always find its own level, the height of the slab will be proportionate to the volume of concrete poured, but it will always be level if you smash the Shiite out of it with a timber.

Hi Alex, why the two black sheets ?? Was it the Architect that specified that detail ?? Thanks 🙏

Nice one! How many cubic metres of concrete?

Thought that was a swimming pool you were building with all that water 🤣🤣

So that's how you lay a slab wish the cowboy builder that made a mess of mine is watching. Pros at work wish you cover the Nottinghamshire area serious lack of quality up this way.

Why two layers of DPM?

👍

The mics need to go in the skip lol 👍🏻

Hammer drill is going the wrong way No one else noticed this

Hmmm, no damp proofing between the house and the extension at the patio doors, that course of bricks is below the dpc membrane and your concrete is butting against it???

Hi what’s the timber for on the internal block work

Painfull 😪

Noisiest builders on you tube!!!

I still can’t believe you have people to barrow your concrete in.!!! We have to tape joints on PIR board before 2nd visqueen, building control insist on it.. and they want to see it.! ( photograph).. I thought you didn’t like wall starters.??🤔🤔🤣.. good job lads.!👍

I'm a bit surprised that a slab that big doesn't require rebar?

No steel in slab?

Hire a bull float, makes life a lot less hastel, but well done both.

I was only looking at these the other day lads , I want to use it as dust extraction for my chop saw . Do you think it would be capable

Feel for you guys I’ve done a slab same size as that and by time concrete was pored it was starting to rain had to call in reinforcements to tamp it off but when the heavens really opened up that was it they ran for the hills and left to try and cover it as well as floating off. Not fun not fun at all. Keep up the great work as always. Matt

Great work lads! Would have thought customer would want drain moved.. Would under floor heating be an option?

just one question is it natural to have that much water floating on the top or the cement ?

Wow what a slab. You made it look easy but I know it would’ve been hard work. Well done. You’ll soon get the hang of the microphones. Perhaps you could do with some sort of holder that goes round the back of your neck and holds the microphone in front of your mouth making them hands free…. Or place more than one around the job on tripods to capture conversation as you go. Dave Birmingham. 👊

Hi Steve what's the best way to tamp an 11 m slab can I build a sleeper wall and do it in 2 halfs

A tad too much water in the concrete mix, maybe?

Isn’t that concrete way to wet ?

Check out concrete ninja I know he does bigger slabs and it would mean more equipment for you but it helps dad not bringing over so much well done dad us old blokes have still got it

Nice job gents, out of curiosity why is the cold bridging strip on the outside of the damp? And not inside the damp like the floor insulation? Keep up the good work 👍🍻

I was thinking this slab would be a good learning experience for Alex....until I saw the size of it and how wet the concrete was. Perhaps something a little smaller for Alex to cut his teeth on!! I've watched a few concrete pours and never seen the water pour off it. Steve needed a medal....but got the job done as usual 👍

Ever thought about changing your names to Ant and Dec….lol… loved the interview, had me in stitches…👍🏻

Good work fellas was going to suggest Same thing as Andy west get a ball float that way once you have done your initial screed you can ball float the slab and it will level the slab and seal it remember if you are going to ball float the slab then ball float it side ways on from the initial screed ie 90 degrees it will take any high or low spots once again well done

I really like they way you both work looking after one another and cleaning the site also i like evolution stuff can be expensive for things like new chop saw blades but well worth it thanks for the video and take care

Another hard days work chaps. Might want to get a wind blocker for the mic.

fix a 4x2 against the house wall to guide your tamp then patch in later

Should always drill into the brick

Ear defenders go on ears not coat😂

Great work yet again guy's but them new mics are not so good

Nice tidy job lads ,fair play

Wetter mix will self level

Great video I suppose it’s gonna take around 5 - 7 days to dry ??

How nice to have somebody else wheelbarrow the concrete in(Heaven)

Nice 1 guys

great job well done

Do you not own a laser level?

Lovely job,any little discrepancies is what floor levelling is made for

Another good video. Personally, would like to have seen more detail of exactly how you dealt with the corners and around the drain with the membrane. How thick did the concrete finish?
