Just a day working, #farming #repairing moving MEWP #welding
A full day of real work — starting with early morning cattle handling on the farm and finishing with historic wall repairs in the rain.We begin before sunrise moving beef cattle through the handling system using the tractor, race, and crush to load one into the trailer. Then it’s straight on the road to collect a broken cherry picker that needs urgent repair. With the foot pedal safety control stuck and no proper tools on hand, we attempt a field fix just to get the machine operational.Back at the yard, the cherry picker basket needed welding where corrosion had caused the guard to fail. After repairs, we headed out again to carry out emergency masonry work near the entrance to Clitheroe Castle, where failing cement pointing had become dangerous to the public. Using access equipment, we removed loose material and made the historic stone wall safe.This is the reality of farming, plant ownership, equipment breakdowns, welding repairs, and construction work — long days, bad weather, and solving problems as they happen.If you enjoy farming videos, heavy machinery, plant repair, welding, construction, countryside work, and day-in-the-life job vlogs, this one’s for you.👍 Subscribe for more farming life, machinery repairs, site work, and behind-the-scenes videos.Share this Video with friends and family: https://youtu.be/vx3SaFyaopg Join our Channel - You can subscribe to our channel below. http://www.youtube.com/user/UKRestorationServices?sub_confirmation=1UK Restoration Services Playlist's Carpentry & Joinery: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQ68cfRHD_kl7NjslizGYzEAg6DHSTR5y Lime Work: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQ68cfRHD_klwopXzJnEOCkI2VxsrHWIG Roofing: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQ68cfRHD_kkCH8gTps-w3Lisd5V6520k Structural Repairs: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQ68cfRHD_knSGKjiQYGqTd0uGc_SLHj6 Restoration How-To's: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQ68cfRHD_kmUndOU26Hz8b97Ewa5zs6V The Farm: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQ68cfRHD_klq9DF6zWr93-znH7nXoN2t Plant & Equipment: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQ68cfRHD_kn_wU_5d5m3FsHiQSUJ9oz0Website & Contact Website - https://www.restoration-services.uk.com Email - media@restoration-services.uk.com #HeavyMachinery #PlantMachinery #ConstructionLife #MachineRepair #EquipmentRepair #WeldingRepair #WorkshopLife #MechanicLife #Fabrication #SiteWork #CherryPicker #AccessEquipment #DayInTheLife #RuralWork #CountrysideWork

The Farm 19 - Self Build Vlog | Beautiful Stone Door Heads now Installed - Also....Rant....Incoming
Another Saturday on site in Blackburn, continuing the lime rendering and leadwork restoration on this historic building. In this video, we focus on lead buttress pillar caps, chimney repairs, and essential detailing to protect the new render from water ingress.We remove failed code 4 lead and replace it with code 7 lead, showing correct fixing methods, allowance for expansion and contraction, welding corners, and adding lead triangles for long-term durability. You’ll also see how we install lead fillets, oak fillets, bellcast beads, and drip details to ensure water is thrown clear of the render.We also cover:Buttress pillar lead cap installationLead welding techniques on scaffoldingLime render progress updatesChimney rebuild and masonry repairsBellcast bead detailing above renderWindow restoration and stained glass refittingScaffold drop planning and clean-down processThis project is reaching its final stages, with scaffolding due to come down soon. If you’re interested in heritage restoration, traditional building methods, lime rendering, or professional leadwork, this one’s for you.📅 New videos every Wednesday evening & Sunday morning 👍 Like, comment, and subscribe for more traditional restoration contentShare this Video with friends and family: https://youtu.be/axCAIpPe8Lo Join our Channel - You can subscribe to our channel below. http://www.youtube.com/user/UKRestorationServices?sub_confirmation=1UK Restoration Services Playlist's Carpentry & Joinery: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQ68cfRHD_kl7NjslizGYzEAg6DHSTR5y Lime Work: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQ68cfRHD_klwopXzJnEOCkI2VxsrHWIG Roofing: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQ68cfRHD_kkCH8gTps-w3Lisd5V6520k Structural Repairs: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQ68cfRHD_knSGKjiQYGqTd0uGc_SLHj6 Restoration How-To's: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQ68cfRHD_kmUndOU26Hz8b97Ewa5zs6V The Farm: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQ68cfRHD_klq9DF6zWr93-znH7nXoN2t Plant & Equipment: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQ68cfRHD_kn_wU_5d5m3FsHiQSUJ9oz0Website & Contact Website - https://www.restoration-services.uk.com Email - media@restoration-services.uk.com #construction #leadwork #leadwelding #limerender #building #restoration #leadwork #trades #builders #heritage #uktrades #craftsmanship #constructionvlog
How We Protect Lime Render With Proper Lead Detailing - (Most People Get This Wrong)
In this video, I talk about the craftsman vs academic pay gap in construction, particularly within heritage restoration, stonemasonry, and specialist trades. Skilled tradespeople working on the tools — stone cutters, masons, carvers, bricklayers, roofers, and site craftsmen — are often paid far less than academic, management, and consultancy roles, despite the high level of skill, experience, and intelligence required to do the work.Across the UK construction and restoration sector, craftsman hourly rates are typically around £35–£40 per hour as a sell rate, while academic and consultancy rates can reach £110–£150 per hour. This imbalance is pushing skilled trades into a race to the bottom, even in the restoration industry, which has traditionally paid higher wages than general construction and house building.This video looks at:The skilled trades pay gap in construction and restorationWhy craftsmanship intelligence is undervalued compared to academic qualificationsHow low pricing is damaging heritage restoration workWhy apprenticeships and training schemes won’t succeed without fair payThe long-term impact on recruitment, retention, and skills shortagesIf we want young people to choose construction apprenticeships, if we want to protect heritage skills, and if we want experienced tradespeople to stay in the industry, craftsmen need to be paid properly. Training initiatives alone will not fix the problem without addressing wages and sell rates.If you work in construction, restoration, stonemasonry, brickwork, roofing, or any skilled trade, I’d really like to hear your view.

Part 2 - Loading Historic Doors
The doors are carefully removed by hand not for DIY people, without lifting machinery, using wedges, straps, and traditional site methods to protect both the timber and the historic structure. Once removed, the doors are transported to our joinery workshop for full assessment and restoration. Watch Full video; https://youtu.be/PIS9fYQUZmY
