Nice one enjoyed watching real manual labour being done!
Thanks Jezr appreciate it 👍
Nice one Justin. A lot to think about when preparing an area like that. Bet the neighbours were glad when you finished that demolition!!
Hi marc
Yes definitely a lot to think about as always.
Think we were happy to see the end of the demonstration as well 🤣🤣 cheers mate
Justin 👍
Great video, I found this really helpful and you gave such good advice for when I was building my Indian sandstone patio. Many many thanks for posting this ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

A pleasure and glad we could help .Appreciate the comment
Justin 👍
Hi Justin
Glad you had a break and recharged your batteries 🙏👍❤️
Lovely neat work mate , another sloping drive mate , you don’t have it easy do you mate 😓👍 at least you got a few drains to angle the water away with your patio to prevent flooding, I might have been tempted to put some acco drains at the bottom of that ramp where it meets your raised patio just into that drain to stop the water coming down the slope and slipping round on to that raised patio ? Lovely work pal and another tidy quality job from you and your lads , keep safe mate and have a good week 🙏🙏👍❤️
Morning john
Thanks for the post as always mate .I think although its difficult i do like to challenge myself sometimes and to be honest the people are lovely mate .id rather take on a slightly tricky job with nice peoole than take on an easy job with someone who isn't my cup of tea .
Eco or Aco drains as you all call them went in yesterday. So its moving on slowly. Keep safe good luck to you and the lads.
Justin 👍 😆🧱
Great vid as ever boys looking forward to part 2
Nice one Joe always appreciate it mate
Justin 👍
Very nice work lads! Dont envy you at all, hard work getting that old concrete up! Good job sorting out all the angles and falls. Always the hardest part of laying a patio..getting your levels set! Especially when you have drains and footings to work around! Spot on as aways mate! Keep up the great work/videos! Enjoy your weekend buddy🍻 hope your first week back wasnt too hard😂
Thanks Izzy mate first week is done always the hardest isnt it after a break. Tricky one this but we have this all the time as do you mate.
Appreciate the comments have nice weekend good luck next week
Justin 👍
Hard going by the looks of it , well done lads !
Hi neil
Yes its defo been hard graft so far mate
Justin 🤣👍
Que bueno poder ver otro trabajo de uds y desde el primer día y. Seguir disfrutando de la realización de este proyecto que sin duda quedará increíble como todos sus trabajos, saludos desde Chile y que dios les bendiga 🙏🙏🙏🙏🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱
Appreciate it as always
Justin 👍
Love your videos buddy. I was meant to be starting my 2 weeks off work in just over an hour, but I've delayed it until beginning of August as this weather is shocking here in South Wales as you'll know. It's going to be difficult enough having a go at the patio without the weather on top!
Ive arrived back off holiday and yep its awful. British summer time is notoriously crap 😫
good stuff as always just!
Thanks jack hope your well
Justin 👍
That's hard work my boys
Certainly is lester 😀👍👊
Bloody hell justin the lads caught you doing a bit then 💪🏼
I can’t find hyperspace in my editing software , it must be an upgrade 😉.
Hard graft as always chaps with plenty of explanation.
🤙🏼🧱👍🏽
I no they did one barrow they said 🤣🤣 they did most of it they worked there socks off to be fair there both good lads. Hyperspace i no 🤣 .Thanks Steve always appreciate your comments mate. 👍
@@brickrightbuildinglandscaping 😁🧱👍🏽
Recommend a fine sponge or wind muffler on the audio mic to stop the wind noise. Shame the next door neighbours refused the offer of a new wall, especially as it was pointed out to them that it ready to go and the fact that they would not have to pay for it. It a shame as when it does go and needs to be rebuilt it will interfere with the new work already done on the new patio. A new wall would have enhanced the new patio as well.
Rocky appreciate the advice on the mic.
Yes the wall not being re built was very frustrating 👍
Sorry forgot to add when can we expect the next video. Will be keeping a eye on this one.
Hi zuber
Try and get the next bit on tonight
Justin 👍
interesting you used a "tarmac cutter" bit for the jack hammer rather than a concrete pick?
no wonder it was such hard work
If its the pointy round bit your referring to we find it just makes holes in the concrete and gets stuck .the narrow bit is ok but we found the wider bit works best even if it is the wrong one i dont no its what works best on each job 😉
Great video fellas. I have almost bang on the same exact garden layout and have just completed lifting the concrete aswell, tough work.... In regards to falls at the side of the house assuming you didn't have the ramp and manholes to contend with, would it be better to have the fall running in the direction towards the neighbours walls (wall neighbour didn't want removed).
Hi zuber hope your well mate .Yes you could do that in fact its always the best practice to fall water away from the house where possible.
Justin 👍
Great video and content as always justin and team. Habe a similar job to quote for shortly. As a rule of thumbs guys if there's any concrete with cracks in would you suggest breaking out and getting rid of
Thanks nikki
Appreciate your comments as always.
Yes in my opinion if you have any cracking in existing concrete get rid and start again is my advice.
Good luck .
Justin 👍
lol, before 10:58 everyone knew Brad broke it and at 10:58 affirming that Brad broke it.
🤣🤣👍🙌
Great workmanship again justin 👏 eco drains ?? aco drain maybe 🙃👍

How come a membrane sheet wasn’t put down? Doing my own patio hence asking
Just isnt any need for one for a patio maybe on a drive .only time you need one is on clay ground but not really needed for most patios 👍
Great job there Justin as always. Quick question do you use a formula to work out exactly how much Mot type 1 you will need? Trying to work out for a job and not sure if the calculators online are accurate or not, thanks
Hi tom
Ive always used volume x2 always worked for me 👍
@@brickrightbuildinglandscaping Seems like the calculators are about accurate then, didn't want to order to way to much 😂 perfect thanks for your help 👍
@@TheNoisytrev
No worries good luck 👍
Hello, I'm DIYing a patio, however it will sit proud of the lawn ( above not below ) Any advice you could give in terms of the base way to contain the Subbase when compacting, didn't want to go down the gravel board route, would these rot in time, comprimising the compacted base & patio? Maybe use bricks, although i have seen this tin edging available from Screwfix, wondered if any good or what you would do ? Many thanks in advance for any tips/ advice you could give !
Brick is good the rest you mentioned i wouldn't use that .
Google concrete path edgings 900 x 150 x 50 mm .
As long as the 150 mm in height is good for you concrete them into the ground good to go .
If you need more height you can by a concrete slab 900 x 600 mm and cut them to the height you need thay are basically the same as the path edging just in slab format. Hopefully that helps you as an easy way forward thats durable and simple.to do .good luck 👍💯
@@brickrightbuildinglandscaping Thankyou so so much for your quick response and also taking the trouble to reply. Concrete path edgings would be perfect. Thankyou so much. All the best.
@hairynews8348
Your welcome hope all goes well for you 😀👍💯
Did you put a geotexttile membrane down before MOT type 1?
No we didn't only need it to stop the mot going in to the ground .not needed on this job 👍👊
Cannot believe the neighbour didn't want that wall sorting as it will collapse on his side when it does go.and let us hope no one gets hurt when it does.
Dont think anybody could believe they wouldn't let us do the wall crazy but that was there decision we had to respect it unfortunately but yep your spot on 👍
Be another masterclass once finished buddy.
I hope so lee .Mad thing after i ordered the dewalt i went back on site and the sthil saw wouldn't start was a 5 min fix but looking forward to the new toy now .
Appreciate the comments as always lee.
Justin 👍

Mental that eh. Great tool you’ll like never fully replace gas but the cordless is the real deal for all your fancy slabs monoblock and porcelain great cutting the facing bricks does t really jam up as sometime may happen with power in the gas saws. Press the button and blade is at full power and your away less moaning from neighbours if early in morning haha 😂 we will see you in action with it soon. 😎😎🤟
@@lmilne4859 hopefully lee we will have it soon mate 👍
sound levels boyo - keep them the same level throughout ;)
👍
How do you know that you have exactly 100mm of sub all throughout? It seems like you're just spreading it randomly but, obviously, you have a way of knowng.
We use string lines to create the finished level then measure down off them .This ensures we have are correct measurements of base all over 👍
Nice job, I think you like that wee digger Justin ? The client seems nice and understands what your telling them, pity their neighbor is a prick.
Yea clients are very nice people and its crazy the neighbours dont want the wall re built they been told its not safe and could collapse anytime but they still dont want it done which is ???
Anyway appreciate the comments love the digger yea 🤣🤣👍
Hi pal tell Brad to pull his shorts up ,no nice eating lunch n looking at his builders arse hinging oot his shorts, thot he was asleep on the digger there when u went round the front , how did u manage to get 4 contractor packs off grey sandstone boy 😜 .

Hi Allan
