Stunning job buddy. When it comes to sleeper steps, do you need the engineering bricks as your risers, can you just use another sleeper instead?
Eng bricks are best but you can use the sleepers for the risers yes marcus
Cracking little job lads
It’s so nice having a few of these nice relaxed jobs
I need it thanks luke mate 👍
Nice job chaps, looks really good.
Thanks mike
Hope you good mate 👍
A really great video. I have no experience and thinking of having a go with my patio. Very helpful.
Go for it Neil good luck and thank you mate 👍
😂😂😂 You and Brad proper crack me up😂😂
I actually cant belive that ground is retained with just timber..surely someone should have said this needs a brick and block retaining wall..how does that pass NHCB standards but a snot on a cavity tray is a whole deal😂
On site alot of time If you got leftover compo,bricks blocks and hardcore its thrown into the back gardens and under slabs as "backfill" the 100mm of some nice topsoil ontop 😂
That looks stop on! Love that flow point stuff too! Gonna try that in the future! Keep up the great work! Big thumbs up!👌👌💪
Thanks Izzy
Spot on mate agree with all.
Appreciate the comments mate.
Justin 👍
Great content Justin great to see you use flo point great explanation of it I have never used but you and Brad made the whole job awesome 👏
Thanks john
Appreciate it as always take it easy mate.
Justin 👍
beautiful job very talented
Kind words thankyou very much 👍
retaining walls dont have building regs on them
Hi Justin
I know that feeling mate , I’m running out of energy and enthusiasm mate not had a holiday in 2 years and feeling it now mate , lovely job as per usual mate 🙏👍 that retaining wall (wooden posts ) at the side of the house mate , that isn’t as easy to replace by the looks of it mate , you could undermine the side of the house if your not careful , you probably need to create an abutment to take the pressure off the wall otherwise all their garden will end up in the neighbours , bloody nightmare now , but when built would be easy , but as you know Justin house builders keeping costs down is key mate and do the absolute minimum , great video mate , and yes I’ve stopped using resin now mate as it’s failing after 3 years and turning green , which it was supposed to never do , all the best mate to you and the Welsh wilderbeast hard as nails bathing in flowpoint , have a good week pal 🙏🙏🙏👍
Hi John
Hope your well mate .we are having 2 weeks off soon got two im dragging my back legs a bit now its grueling as you no one job after another .
I had to stop brad eating it 🤣🤣🤣 agree on all you say about the wall i wouldn't touch it unless a structural engineer was involved john cover all ends mate.
Good luck to you boys take some time out mate
Justin 👍
like the humour no builder ego here
Defo no ego Josh and i tell the lads laughter in work is important so we do like to have a light hearted bit of fun.
👍🤣💯
👍👍👌👌 mucho bueno
Thanks spart .
Mucho gracias 🤣👍
Love your vids and your work. Always great attitude! In this instance, do you fall the paving toward the house to be caught by the ACO? Cheers
Thanks will much appreciate mate.
Well in an ideal world fall the paving away from the house .where like this job and many others if the fall has to go towards a house i would always add eco drains to accommodate the water and protect the house walls and dpc.
Can use shallow or deaper eco drains depending on the height of the dpc to the paving.
Hope that helps will .
Thanks mate
Justin 👍👍
I'm in the middle of a slabbing job at the moment, lads....I will probably be using the brush in compound. To be honest that flowpoint gives me the fear looking at the jet washing and critical timing involved, although it is a belter of a finish.
Hi Jim
It defo is a squeaky bum time doing it but its a much better job mate .if you need any advice on it give me a ring once you get over the first one its ok .
Good luck jim
Justin
cracking job as always chaps. I am doing a sleeper wall for a client in a few weeks, not done it before. When you put the first row of sleepers on the concrete, do you smooth the concrete off first and then lay the sleeper, or do you tap the sleeper onto the concrete, similar to how you would tapping a slab onto mortar? and do you have to screw it in to the concrete or anything? many thanks!
Hi Jack
Thanks mate for the comments.
We level the concrete on a semi dry mix and slightly tap the sleeper into the concrete but only just get it level and bedded nice .Lay your first one below ground level aswell.
Spec depends on what your asking the sleepers to hold up but that answers a question.
Good luck
Justin 👍
First hit that subscribe button so these boys can hit 2000 well deserved subs .
2 nd . Another stunning job lads and I love the detailed explanation. I’m picking up tips for when we finally get round to doing the back garden 😏. That really is a beautiful little job
3rd That tin pot house builder that we have just left do the pencil retainers only theses cheap skates use 100 mm posts ! ! ! Which will just about last till the 2 year warranty is up . NHBC. Isn’t worth a carrot as this type of external works aren’t guaranteed. Total cop out , do the bare minimum ( or less ) to get it sold then let the customer deal with the massive bill down the line . It really pisses me off no end . Houses are expensive and people stretch themselves to but them so don’t budget for a massive civil engineering job in their back garden .
4 Fun fact , I was investigating Aco drains and was watching a video on their website and apparently it’s pronounced Aco ( as in Jacko without the J ) every day is a school day .
5 hope you’re feeling better Just 🤒🧱👍🏼
Thanks Steve appreciate your support mate.On the rest with nhbc i agree totally may be a long time since i was on site but 30years on and nothing has changed mate bugs the crap out of me aswell.
Good luck you and alex mate ta v much
Justin 👍

Lovely job Justin, as usual but won't using wooden sleepers cause the same problem you mentioned earlier or will the weep holes fix that ? I know it's not on the same scale as a retaining wall but just wondering why you or your client choose wood when it rots.
Spot on Tommy
I priced for brick but they went for sleepers as it was cheaper so upto them i did explain but there choice but i agree .
The weep holes will help mate
Justin 👍
Nice again! Brad doesn't bathe in it, he likes to wash his boots and socks with it though. :)
Paul
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣.you got.that right mate 😀😀
could you lay this how you would lay monoblock paving or wold this cause issues?
I wouldn't recommend you lay this product the same way you install block paving. 👍
Know how you feel Justin
Last patio was a hand dig 16 ton dug out on my own
As for new builds lots being built round me and the gardens in particular are left in a shocking state
Hi Joe
16 tonnes by hand nice been there done all that mate.
Most of the gardens on these new sites are terrible not fair on the people who buy these houses its a con
Justin 👍
Strong looking leg that fella. 😆👍🏻 flowpoint is the best about Justin brush stuff is garbage.
🤣🤣🤣 alright lee.
Totally agree with you 💯
@@brickrightbuildinglandscaping
Used a few now Aztec’s 1 don’t like at all setting times are all over the place more it takes a age to go off in my experience twice the price also for nearly half the amount of what get with flowpoint and a headache with it lol. Stick to flowpoint now mostly or Kerakoll grout is good more so maybe. Small locked in areas where no wash off point. Use a just a normal grout trowel best suited for porcelain a think but it’s not really 1 that can flowed into joints. Get yourself a raimundi peddalow system what a tremendous bit of kit simple buy saves the back. Tilers tools. They have everything grouting on there site tool wise buddy. Take care 😎👍🏻
@@lmilne4859 appreciate the tips thanks lee 👍

Likewise love the videos keep them coming Brad is a top lad also.
Its bout saving money and getting the most profit has possible no pride in there work any more shame on them i would never buy a new build now days all ways tell people to stay a way from new builds all those new build help scheme are just a big scam
Bang on agree danny and the timber frames i hate them utter crap in my opinion.
Justin 👍
