I've just had a floor laid like this except they didn't put in insulation. I'm having underfloor heating from an air source heat pump. Is it ok there's no insulation in the floor?
Great vid, but I’d hate to work for you, it’s a bit belts and braces. 2 stages of whacking the hardcore, 2 layers of damp proof membrane, getting a level out to make sure the concrete is level are all way over the top 🤔
Chris, really unhappy about all that weight of concrete sitting on essentially plastic foam. Is it not better to lay the foam insulation on the concrete?
how does the concrete not cruch the foam and eventually sink very badly???
Hi Chris, why the additional layer of visqueen on top of the insulation?
do you have a video of you doing the roof work on this project? would love to see that.
i was always taught that the insulation goes under the screed not the concrete, or is there a reason its done differently here?
Tip - dampen your hardcore, water is a fantastic compaction aid.

Overkill!
Use a laser for putting the concrete in, Much quicker and easier. Before you mention the price of them they are quite cheep nowadays.
Brave guys. No shirts in December.
Why do people use screed instead of just concreting up to ffl?
Hi Chris. So it's fine to have the screed above dpm and dpc level?
Cheers Chris. That will be handy for tomorrow 😉😧
Great videos! One question.. Why do you use PIR insulation instead of polystyrene?
So you don't actually have to have screed?
Is this the last video following this job?
Enjoy watching your video
What material is the insulation made of?
Hi why the extra layer of membrane?
Great. Explained a lot of unanswered questions👍Thanks Chris

Always enjoy your vids chris
Thank you-:)
whacker = compactor
How come only single skin of block up off the trench blocks for this build and not a cavity wall? Any more vids to come on this extension please?
We leave the outer sin until the messy concrete etc is done- then we build up the outer in one go and it keeps it clean! (practised on a lot of sites)
Chris Longhurst Thanks Chris. Looking forward to your next video.
Great
Hire a dumper
Excellent, thank you Chris really great help
Thank you
Excellent job Chris. Thanks for sharing that. Learned a couple of things I didn't know! :)
You're welcome
