Château Trois Cloches
Великобритания
Добавлен 3 апр 2022
Jolyon and Chris who are being followed by the Channel 4 show Château DIY a spinoff show from the Escape to the Chateau with Dick and Angel, took the brave/mad decision to buy and renovate a Château in France. Château Trois Cloches looked in good condition but leaking roofs over several years mean that this will be a huge renovation!
The videos we've produced already cover two huge projects in particular. We replaced the roof on a beautiful stables and we've started the construction of a natural pool. Inside, we've also renovated more than half of the interior of the Chateau and will be posting lots of videos of the projects inside soon as these projects are covered in episodes soon to be released on TV.
Follow the highs and lows of our journey - a race to turn the Château into a beautiful holiday rental before we run out of money!

The Marble Bathroom pt 2 of 4
After another visit to the bricolage, we start installing the stud work walls for the new bathrooms we are making. It's amazing how quickly you can put stud walls up but filling all of the holes and corners with plaster and sanding them down is often the most time consuming bit.

This is the first in a series of vlogs we'll be doing where we cover the renovation of our a huge shower room into not one but two bathrooms using our new stud work plaster boarding skills and a lot of hard work. First though, we had to make a new door into the bathroom to ensure which was to prove quite challenging. If you enjoyed the video please give it a like, it really helps ☺️ You can als...
The Great natural pool adventure continues! Building our own natural pool

Finally we get the walls of the swimming level up. After the grim realisation that we needed to double the thickness of the walls it has been a long slog building these all the way round. It isn't the brick laying that takes time but mixing and pouring the concrete which we've been doing by hand all 52 tons so far (If Jolyon's crude maths is correct). We've not quite finished yet but this still...

Dramatic change to the Salon at Château Trois Cloches
Просмотров 4,7 тыс.2 месяца назад
It's so EXCITING to finally see a dramatic change when we spray paint the Salon with Mylands stunning Bond Street paint. It was a risk going this dark in the room, but it's a big space and we were sure it could take it! The room was missing something, and we felt it needed a bit more architectural interest given its size so we installed some new wall panelling, and the room began to transform a...
How to conceal a TV, AND the final fix of the stunning Salon Parquet Floor.
Просмотров 2,7 тыс.2 месяца назад
In this video Jolyon finally gets round to finishing the parquet floor in the Salon which was a first for him, but some great lessons were learned along the way. And he comes up with an ingenious way to make our TV vanish when not in use. We wanted to be able to have a formal looking Salon but also wanted the option of having a TV. So we opted for a special TV called 'Samsung The Frame' and ins...
Making small steps forward with the Natural Pool at the Château
Просмотров 4,3 тыс.3 месяца назад
After deciding to dig down again so we could make thicker foundations and double the thickness of the wall we finally start to make progress. It feels frustrating as we have a lot of work to do to get to the height of the wall as it is, but it'll be worth it to make sure the pool doesn't collapse one day. This is one of a series of videos in our Natural Pool series. To check out the others, go ...
SAVING THE SALON PARQUET FLOOR. Massive wood beetle infestation pt1
Просмотров 3,7 тыс.3 месяца назад
In this series of videos, we will cover the renovation of the Salon, from our first weeks in Château Trois Cloches when we realised that the parquet floor in the lounge was literally been eaten away by wood beetles or Vrillettes du bois. We acted quickly and stripped the varnish off the floor in a painful job that took several days. We then treated the wood with Xylophene but then left the floo...
How build a natural pool? We start digging down AGAIN!
Просмотров 3 тыс.3 месяца назад
After a few months since Jolyon broke his wrist, we finally decided to venture down to the Natural pool again to get this project moving again. Chris had to do the heavy lifting as Jolyon still isn't 100% and after a few months of reflection, we also decided we had to stop building up the walls and instead dig down again to make the foundations wider and build a second layer to the wall to ensu...

We LOVE a bit of technology that makes life easier, and the smart irrigation system we installed at Château Trois Cloches from Gardena (@GardenaUK) is just incredible!! It is so easy to use, install and has quite literally changed our life. That may sound over the top, but by installing this very clever irrigation kit in the orangery, means we can water the plants from anywhere in the world, an...

In this video we finally tackle the baron wasteland that is our garden! After nearly a year of it being trashed by other projects, creating a new filtration bed and due to the need to move literally tonnes of soil for the natural pool, we are finally ready to attempt to level it, and sow some grass seed! But, as with all Château jobs, it is never simple, especially when the sit-on low mower isn...
Disaster strikes at the Natural Pool
Просмотров 5 тыс.5 месяцев назад
We initially naively thought we could finish the natural pool in just a couple of months, but when Autumn came, we had to pivot to re-roofing the stables before the wet winter weather caused irreparable damage to the roof structure. In the new year, we eventually had some better weather which meant we could pick the project up again and make more progress. With the help of Chris's Uncle John, t...

Great progress! Really coming together although felt sorry for Bo hoping to get some attention whilst you’re busy plastering 😚. Loved the music. 😊
great job guys!!!! the progress is great!!!🥰
Wow! You have been busy. It’s coming together
a lot of work done looking forward to see the finished results
I am looking forward to the reveal!❤
Držím palce ať se daří.
Absolutely outstanding video 🎉
Thank you very much!
Frank from Dallas Texas here. Just a little note to say hoe much I enjoy y’all’s content.
Thanks so much!
Missed you guys, glad to see you back. Enjoyable video as usual
Great progress on the bathrooms. A lot of work and still cheerful. Love the piano music. Permission given for a rest this week end and a glass of wine or two, never mind counting enjoy. Cheers from Australia.😀😀
Thanks - we took that permission and ran with it 😉🤕sore head this morning
Great video guys! Looks like a rather daunting renovation, you guys make it look easy. I loved the music on this video. I’m hoping you see an increase in subscribers so others can enjoy watching you restore this beautiful château. Well done!!
Thanks so much 😊
Super boulot 😊😊
Great work lads. Admire your tenacity. Where I come from from the saying was. “Bobs your uncle and Fanny is your downfall”
😂
🤣😂
Love your style so much, made me smile putting walls up around your chandelier😊 love watching and getting inspired, cant wait for part 3 x😊
6'4" in a tub and asking if it is big enough is like asking the Jolly Green Giant if a mud puddle is big enough of a lake for his motorboat and water skiing school for Giants.....
i.e. finish the pool so he can stretch out!!!
😂
We have a very small bathroom also. To make it seem bigger we used glass surround in the shower. On the areas where we had to tile we used white subway tiles with an accent of a 'frame' made of speciality tiles in the middle of the wall. The toilet is a streamlined on that doesn't feel small but looks less intrusive. The vanity does not go to the floor so it gives an illusion of greater space as your eye is carried further. And a really interesting mirror that has lights and bling around it.
Great progress it’s amazing how the framing and stud walls bring each room to life ❤
Will you make it soundproof as ppl dont want to hear the others in the toilet or shower?
Yes absolutely! 👍🏻
Hola from Ecuador!
Hello there!
Looking good things are moving on quickly😘
Can you guys give more notice i was 3/4 through a regular fri vlog when you st arted
(It’s been pending as a premier for at least a couple of days!)
Never showed on my list lol@@markcampbell369
I've had a few people saying they haven't got notifications. It's really weird as I've looked into it and can't see that there is anything I can do on my end
What kind of piano is it and when was it made? It’s beautiful! I’d love to sit and play!!
It’s a Pleyel piano. We think it’s from around 1880 but not 100% sure on the age
Question: i am sure that you did the research already and I am meerly sitting on the couch drinking coffee but watching. What is the wall paper made of and does it let the wall breath, or maybe your high (as in second floor) and raising moisture is less of a problem. Curious N
Opps, there is a void behind the dry wall. Question nearly, nearly answered -- still curious if the paper can breath -- more academic 😊
It’s on the first floor so it’d be very worrying if we had rising damp up there
Certain dry wall/plaster boards will allow the old wall to breath as moisture will gather behind on the old walls due to the temperature differential between the outside and inside of the property. The wall coverings paint etc will still need to be considered to allow the flow of air and moisture. I think the room does look fantastic and all viewers are amazed at the professional finish, aligning such a fab paper design. Not to be a dampner just Something to consider as you continue with the master bath. If you watch chateau de la lacelle a lot of the wall work and insulation is in opposition to current understanding and will effectively kill the building, not to mention the sellers guarantee. N
You should try a tubby bath. They are amazing and so comfy.
OMG the bottle in the bathroom……. Love it… cheers 🥂 Great work boys
I’m sure the bathroom will be stunning like your other completed work around the Chateau 👍
Loving the music and your work ❤xxxx
It should look great!
What about a shower over the bath in like a wet room look with glass around it, that way you have more flexibility in terms of the vanity
Chris wasn’t keen. Also a bit tricky for less able bodied guests. We sussed it though and worked out away to fit both in 👍🏻
I love watching you both, your expressions, especially when Jolyon goes off on a fantasy & Chris can see all the additional work in his mind, like a new ceiling mentioned 😂, you need one who has a bit of fantasy in this restoration job though! I’m better on the practical side & find the artistic side more difficult. I remember I installed a loo in my first house, I tested the soil pipe, not realising my stepfather was holding the pipe coming out the wall, he got drenched 😂💦💦 John in Monmouth 🏴
OMG that’s hilarious! I hope it was just water you were testing the pipe with? 😂
Why dont you put the bath across the corner of the room and put the toilets back to back on the wall reduce the size of the sink area
Not far off what we have done in the end. Great thinking!
Can you include a plan of your house and when you’re working on a room, just give a quick flash of the plan to give a heads up as to where it is that you’re talking about? I’d really appreciate that
We included some plans for the tour videos if you haven’t seen them yet. The bathroom is on the first floor. Will add a plan for the bathroom in the next video as we finally decided on how to arrange it!
Use safety glasses to avoid splinters
I hope you are going to resell the sinks
We’ll try and reuse them in the stables when we get to renovating it but they aren’t old/original sinks
Would it have been better and safer to have put scaffolding up.
Yes probably 😅
Is the new sink going to be right beside the door?? A decent size shower is more used in 2024. Place templates around the room to see how everything would work, Use those sinks some where else. The sinks look fine but perhaps the surround could be changed. This is the new age now where people try and come up with clever ideas to keep and use. Have a good think and play around with templates before you jack hammer into sinks etc. Cheers you two remember slow and steady no regrets. Watching from Australia.
Thanks great ideas, yes we’ve saved the sinks and hope to use them in the stables when we get to renovating that building.
I cant believe you are getting rid of those beautiful sinks.Hope you are at least going to sell them so someone can use and appreciate them.
They are fairly modern and not original to the house but we won’t throw them away. Hopefully we’ll be able to use them when we renovate the stables in a couple of years
I cannot believe how you are going about ‘designing’ this room. Why on earth would you demolish things BEFORE you investigate? Are you going to insulate the walls between the two rooms? For sound at least?? Good luck. Look forward to seeing it finished..😊 I don’t think the window between is a good idea - when one bathroom’s light is turned on?!?!? Just put a sensor light in the other ensuite that comes on with movement!?
Unfortunately investigation required a fair amount of demolishing but stay tuned to see how it all works out 😁😉
There are free bath layout templates available to help with designing a bathroom, with standard recommended spacing, to prevent regrettable choices. Might be worth checking them out. It must be so discouraging to damage a lovely bathroom wall when other parts of your chateau still need work. But as you said, an ensuite bath makes the pink room far more inviting than a shared bath, so needs must. Crack on!
Thanks Barbara 😊
No bath guys & a good size shower is so much better. Besides I never use a bath....its like human broth....EEEWWWWW. I'm a nurse and medical position is they're filthy germ brews....
U don't need a bath nowa days.
Put the bath in the middle of the room in between the 2 windows and leave the sink as they are but great work guys
Hola from Ecuador! We’ve lived in high rise condominiums for decades, so we can’t offer advice - only encouragement!
Thanks ☺️
you both have impeccable taste so i'm sure it will be gorgeous
Thank you so much!!
Honestly? I think the picture with the women and the tapestry should trade places And a blue brocade curtains would play on that picture and the balloons
The picture of the woman is hiding a mysterious window so it has to stay put as it’s made to size but interesting idea on the curtains. We’ll keep our eyes out for some
put in a shower and bath combination?
I agree
I love the double sinks and the shower tiles.
Shower bath combos whilst space saving are so dangerous, So many accidents....people slip not just elderly.
Yep this is one reason why Chris has been so adamant on having a separate shower and bath as combos aren’t great for those who aren’t that able bodied.
Don't burn the alcohol off
This is a excellent piano made I’m glad you get it for your chateau
Thank you very much!
Fantastic
She is absolutely beautiful and such a big part of the family also well loved ❤
She really is, and we saw a sign at the vets that said for her size she’s equivalent to 100 years old which is amazing!
