How We Install Cavity Trays, Insulation & Stonework | Ep07
In this episode, we’re diving deeper into the blockwork and taking an essential step forward with insulation and cavity trays. A big feature of this episode is Surecav - a game-changing cavity tray system that’s perfect for stonework. We’ll explain how it works, why it’s vital for keeping cavities clean, and how it helps maintain a perfect 50mm gap to stop muck from falling in.
As we continue building, we’re also installing insulation on the bottom course and trimming it to fit seamlessly into the structure. From cavity trays to insulation prep, everything is starting to come together as we make progress toward completing our dream home.

After months of groundwork and preparation, we’re finally starting to build! In this episode, we’re getting the blockwork up and running, with Fergie the bricklayer joining the team to help sling blocks and start shaping the structure of our dream home. We’ve kicked things off with six courses of blockwork inside and started backing it up on the outside, but the weather isn’t on our side - pour...

It’s a massive milestone for the build - getting the floor slab poured! With drainage all signed off by building control, we dive straight into the prep work. From laying 100mm of hardcore and a sand blinding layer to carefully installing the damp-proof membrane (DPM) to protect against moisture and radon, everything is coming together. The concrete lorries arrive, and it's a race against the c...

    I've just discovered this system, for my stone garage my architect recommends block, cavity, block, stone. This system would eliminate a layer of block?

    For you whats the cost difference betweenTrench fill vs foundation blockwork? Do you save enough in labour cost to cover the additional concrete. Its a nice luxury if someone else is paying for it

    • @UnderwoodHomes
      @UnderwoodHomes 24 дня назад

      @@Thetopbanana1 I could have probably got away with 300mm less of concrete in those footings. In that case it would have probably been cheaper to do the extra 300mm in blockwork. Then I would have had to have structural calcs on the depth of the concrete etc which costs money too, so it’s hard to say overall which one would have been cheaper. It is nice to work off full trench though 👌

      @@frankielouise5138 I would only usually use block and beam on a footing that had a lot of ground to build up for a poured slab. I don’t think there loads in it cost wise if it’s BandB vs a poured slab, at least a slab is poured and done in a few hours.
