How to build a dorma roof for this loft conversion uk in 5 days..
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Welcome to day 4 on the 1st fix of a loft conversion we’re currently building.
On today’s episode we’re building the ashlar walls, putting the steel ridge beam in and building the dorma roof.
The Steel beam is a PFC 150 x 90.
Dorma walls are 150mm x 45mm C24 softwood timber.
The roof is made out of 195mm x 45mm C24 soft wood timber @ 400mm centres.
Hope you enjoy 😊

Looks really good guys and I have learnt loads ty.
Nice work mate
Timbers for the dormer lintel should not be laid flat. They should be arranged like flat roof joists.
I’m utterly fascinated with construction. Fantastic job from a bloke that wanted to be a bricklayer but ended up a jeweller/bullion dealer 😬

Thanks Lee 👍👍
That’s why I need to learn how to do this DIY on my parents house where I live. Look at all those guys on site, getting £150/200 easy. £800 a day labour easy. That’s why loft conversions cost £50,000!!! I want to do it in around £15,000.
Is that steel ridge sitting inside on the bricks on both sides because it looks as if it's just sitting on top of those stud timbers on one side?

Probably sat on a load bearing post transferring weight down to a brick wall below. Is my guess from what you can see in the vid.

On one of his former videos you can see him go into the cavity to lay a pad stone, it’s all tip top!
was it really too much effort to put a bit of flooring under the hop up instead of balancing it on the top of a joist. lucky this time.
Do you have complaints from neighbours 😊
how much roughly would you say this project costed the client

@@extendaspace-constructionc821 the above observation is structurally correct, even if building control has signed it off. Its physics.
