- In this episode we fit the steels and remove walls. We won't be showing how to do it but will offer some advice and information to think about when you become involved in the fitting of steels.

Made my day seeing this new series drop. Keep up the great work Rich 👍
The customer hopefully realises they have a top notch team on site now.
It's good to see you all back in the thick of it.
When you were narrating, you said the word "bit." It reminded me when I used to visit Simon Engineering in Dudley when no one said goodbye or see you later. They always said "Tarabit ".
You saying the word in a Black Country accent took me back
Great video, that butty looked good 😊
Brilliant job lads. I’ve finally got the bell thing working, so should be notified of future videos. Still the best channel on here
Old school mentality towards building, i wish you lived down south to build my loft conversion. Good work gents.
Not forgetting, propping off the floor you have to make sure that the floor itself can take the weight!
Enjoying the channel so this feedback is given with sincerity- theres an old film-making rule; 'show, dont tell' - this video has a boat load of telling... not a lot of showing, which is what I'd love to see :)
Good morning.You may have gathered from the ‘telling’ we didn’t want to do the ‘showing’ because of the nature of what we were doing and not wanting to do a ‘How to’ on steel fitting. Thanks for watching mate and hopefully more showing than telling on the next lot of episodes 👍🏻🪚🔨
Great video as always! Down stairs will look superb when you structure in the new walls and door frames.
Certainly looking more modern too. Can’t wait for part 2!
The steels have to be boarded with fire board as per building regulations. Also before the fire board you need fireproof sound insulation between the joists before the fire board goes up. We are at this stage now. Adds a lot of cost to the build. Better to be safe than sorry. 👍
I noticed the Flexi waste connections off the either shower or bath, please take them out cause they do my head in as a plumber 👍 so DIY 😂😂
John Wayne must have worked there what a mess no wonder they were peddled.
My thoughts exactly - complete dogs breakfast. Now there's access it can be done properly.....😍
Great episode Richie,
fully understand why you didn't go into detail re fitting hte steelwork - not a diy activity, leave it to the professionals - us!
Interesting when you pulled the ceiling boards down and revealed all that bodged plumbing!
I did send an enquiry email to abuilders but it kept bouncing back - is the inbox full I wonder?
Regards Nick
Rock and roll now guys, much nicer job than that problematic money pit you started last year. Showing what you do best now, and explaining as you go. I reckon that exposed ceiling could do with two rows of bridging whilst you have the opportunity, to brace the tiled floor above, and alleviate those poorly drilled holes in the joists. Excellent stuff, really happy for you guys. Nice job for the new year. Cheers !!
One family fires you, another hires you after firing someone else. I’d say that evens out!
👍👍👍
Not only calculations but you need certificates for the steel from the suppliers and if any fabrication has been done on the steel it has to be done by a CE certified company and paperwork supplied.
Thanks for the steel fitting tutorial lads. Going to follow this to the letter and take some walls down. Cheers 👍😀
😂
Glad to see y’all get rolling on another one
Great content Rich. Is it just me but the sound appears out of sync quite regularly. Like one of the old martial arts videos. Would be great if you can rectify?
Thanks for the video guys, always look forward to one of your episodes.
My Sunday is now complete. Regards Mike
I’m a keen DIYer and there are things i leave to the experts.
Putting steels in, actually propping and demolishing, makes me quite tense too. I think it should as we care about our work.
love the channel keep up the great work .......
love the detail boys
Hello Richie/Adam
Great episode, fully understand why you didn't go into detail re fitting steels - certainly not a diy activity - leave it to the professionals (us!) interesting when you pulled the ceiling down and revealed all that bodged plumbing! I did send you an enquiry email on the Abuilders email but kept bouncing back - is the inbox full I wonder?
Regards Nick
It’s not full mate sorry about that however we have sent replies to our subscribers via email and they are normally found in the junk or spam inbox. 🤷
its all interesting
My house is the same as that, the joists in the middle stick out at least a foot into the other side of the middle wall
Which was great when we had to run a wire along one wall, but impossible on the other side because that's no gap🤦
Nice neat job, well explained. Still curious as to what that waste pipe is sticking out above the steel?
It’s from the en-suite and has been put back in now but not back flowing this time above the steel and has been bossed into the soil stack outside 👍🏻
were the steels, especially the longer one, pre stressed?
Any reason why you leave the beams un painted ?
What asbestos company do you use?
Completely understand not being shown everything.saw enough to be really scared!! So when I’m looking for a builder and engineer to do this, what am I asking and checking in terms of quali and/or experience?
For an engineer they should always be insured and ideally a registered member of the Institute of Structural Engineers.
Good decision not to show full procedure for steels. Every case needs a check of what's going on above and below. Some rough calculations of what loads are being transferred and from where can be done before SE gets involved. Large trussed purlins are often carried by spine walls in many older houses.
I often leave remains of cast in-situ concrete beams and build off them, like you did here. More harm caused trying to extract them in my experience.👍
Finally please turn the flow rate down on the Stihl, you dont need that much water pissing everywhere, just enough to catch the dust.
Does the building inspector not require that the steels should be given a coat of red oxide for rust protection,all the ones I have fitted it was a requirement.
My designer for my extension asked for the exposed ends to be galvanised so it was a case of getting them fully dipped.
More like Austin powers 👀
Why did you put pad stones under the steel and leave the short nib of concrete lintel below. I think you should have taken out the concrete lintel and rebuilt from sound brick. Nice otherwise. John.
He is defo the love child of Arthur askey and captain mainwaring 😂😂
I was disappointed not seeing how you actually got the steels in.
40mm/50m waste pipe through the joists, was always taught it's bad pratice...
Not for the faint hearted installing steels,always made me nervous.
I’m not a fan of fitting them either they make me twitch. Putting waste pipes in joists isn’t necessarily bad practice it’s how the fitter installs them that’s the issue. There are rules of how much of the joist is cut out and where the hole is drilled. All holes should be drilled in the centre of the joist and no more than a 1/4 of the total depth if I remember right. It shouldn’t be drilled out within 300mm of the end of the joist either again if I remember rightly. I’m sure someone will correct me if I’m wrong 😁👍🏻
@@mrabuilders6723 I can't even remember maximum hole diameters now, sadly I think it's a step backward with what the allow today to what I was taught 40 years ago.
I don’t see mick is he still around, little moan really but wouldn’t it be better just to not include and talk a lot about items you feel uneasy about.
Not sure what you’re saying but thanks for commenting.
@@tonyb5492 we did a job on a second floor semi whose neighbour down below had decided to remove internal walls himself. clients walls looked like a spider web of cracks and the court case is still ongoing. out of pocket thousands.
Far to much talking just do it
That’s the proper way to do it the joists on a load bearing wall should be 150ml minimum overhanging (to allow for expansion and contraction) either side of wall, old school builders knew what they were doing 👍🏻
