That's actually really interesting seeing how it all comes together 😊
10:47 "Nailed"?
English craftmanship at its best!
You're a disgrace.
@@channelfive7883 No, that's not a disgrace. That's pretty standard on this little island. I've seen even worse.
Yeah, I was shocked how he didn't comment on the nails just sticking out into nowhere!
@@thesep1967 happens in America too.
Brilliant video Derek, this is exactly what I needed to see. Thanks for taking the time to post this
timber framing , I have designed some few in Cornwall and Northern England. Love to watch these vids, thanks
Interesting, new build are great for cheap bills, but summertime they can be too warm. Great vid
Glad you made this video. Thank you. We are finally catching up with the States and Canada
how long does it last before demolition in US? For this inflated price? surely timber frame should be much cheaper to build
Have to cut a holes in the chip-board floor to search for a leaking joint, floorboards must have been easier. I loved that video, well done!
Great video thanks! I found your channel through your Nerrad tool review and stumbled around your other videos. Your video here is just what I wanted to see. I’m curious to know if my brick-built, timber-framed house built in the early 70s has a similar construction. I do know the internal stud walls on mine are not load bearing, but I’d be interested to know if the loft joists sit on the brick wall or the stud frame work.
P.S. I’m not a gas engineer or trainer, just a DIY-er doing a complete bathroom renovation and other renovations in the house. Keep up the good work and don’t let those trolls get the better of you! (I watched your Paul Carter video).
Excellent Video once again ...Bravo
Cracking video, thanks for sharing!
BRILLIANT!!! Great video chum. Many thanks 😀
Thanks Derek great video
Really liked this video. Very informative
Very informative & interesting.Thanks for sharing.👌
Really good to watch.
no hairfelt on copper pipes clipped to timber will tick when hot water running through pipework
Looks a nice house but I’m not sure about all the wood I would like to see more bricks and mortar for the price of a Taylor wimpy house and not keen on the floating foundations but that’s me being fussy see you tomorrow derek
Jason Gittoes 👍🏻
I’ve always wanted to see how timber frame is built !
very interesting, thankyou
Great vid, do you not need to use trac pipe to enter the building with timber frame or is it ok to use copper like in the vid? Also didn’t notice a sleeve?
Yes you are correct in both accounts when I brought it up they said it will be to all regulations when completed
Looks very similar to the way we do it in the USA we use the stick framing method as well but instead of plaster for the walls we use drywall or Sheetrock. In my opinion this way works and does a good job. But it doesn’t work everywhere.
You do it way better in the US, the UK is full of cowboy builders. No end of complaints from new householders.
@@Liofa73looking at the construction of this house it looks rather flimsy compared to our stick framing. (Although we have some builders who make it look and be just as flimsy). At least it has OSB sheathing though. Some of our super cheap builders use cardboard! 😬
why is this house built so crap? im thinking, normal houses have exterior walls consisting of bricks outside, insulation foam in cavity and breeze blocks on the inside. why is this just timber frame with no cavity insulation? that seems so crap to me. can someone explain why this house is made in this cowboy sort of way please?
My new build house is falling to bits already and the house was finished about 6 months ago. My house is built using the exact same method and believe me they are crap I wished I would of stayed in my 1970s built property at least it was solid. They build them this way because it's cheaper than the traditional method you were describing.
@@scottwojcik2148 I agree totally, the only reason they build these type of house is more profit for the developer pure and simple.
Because it's in the UK and the standards are abysmal.
Isn’t a timber frame cheaper than brick built?
I know it’s a lot quicker process but isn’t the house more efficient being brick/cavity built?
@Goat Wouldn't one layer of ceramic blocks covered in styrofoam slabs and render be just enough for up to -40 centigrade and 100 % air tight, no mould no problem and simple? And 500 years after you still paint it magnolia every 5 year and thats it
Question: why can't there be insulation in the cavity between the timber frame and the outer brick wall?
If it gets wet it would rot the wood
@@tomkatgastraining we can do it that way in the us. We usually put a vapor barrier on the outside between the insulation and the wall if you do exterior insulation. Usually we don’t put insulation outside of the wall but in the stud cavity
As soon as i heard Taylor and Wimpey.. i thought good luck, as you will need loads of it. After sales is horrible as more and more faults come out after a while and they dont really want to warranty any of them. Even mortar on the outside brick walls is crumbling and testing shown it's not up to spec and you could wash it out with just rain.. They were buying homes back and you had to sign a "don't tell anyone" disclosure.
Good luck!
If you check out part 2 we don’t buy it thank god 😂
@@tomkatgastraining I just finished watching.. very well done. Felt a sigh of releaf for you lol
It can only get better now, as you have seen how the companies "maximising profits".. -screwing you over.
Is there a way to find out which walls are load baring, i have a timber frame house and im thinking of taking a wall out to make the kitchen/living room open plan. Is this possible in a timber frame?
I would say you would have to cut a hole in the ceiling to find out or speak to the original builder
great
How many years is a building built like this meant to last?
What are your thoughts on steel frame houses built after the war?
We don’t have many of these homes in my area so haven’t really got and opinion sorry
My mates parents house is built using steel, but only in the roof.These were built after the war
They have problems getting a TV signal but thats about it.
OSB forever! What's next? carbdboard?
Noise transfer will be a big problem
I have one built like this and noise transfer is a big problem for us and my house is a mid terrace so we get it from both sides it's not really the neighbours fault as they both have little kids and so do I it's just new houses in this country are the biggest pile of steaming crap and may as well not bother having internal walls.
Bieleve me, that's the least of a proble with these osb homes
Lovely house Derek, congrats to you and the mrs
H Dhanji need to watch part 2 mate on Wednesday 👍🏻
@@tomkatgastraining I hope there aren't major snags 🤞
15:49 😬 pipes on plastic the whole house made from wood nobody remember Grenfell! Dammm English ancestors are turning in their graves! For the prices your paying all those pipes should be copper! The walls should be real. Shocking sorry.
That explains why New build houses are crap. I really regret moving out of my 1970s built property for this cheap ass shoddy rubbish. If I wanted a house made of wood I'd move in to a log cabin.
wow!! Houses are build like cheap shit in England, that wouldn't fly in the United states, its not built to U.S. code
Yup, you're totally right. And the neighbourhoods look awful too. They are horrific.
Brick houses are much better than this timber shit
