The Self build house continues. The outbuilding is going up and we have a difficult detail on the rear. The timber frame and the retaining wall need to be separate but also water tight. Phil has come up with a detail to solve this in the video.Share this Video with friends and family: https://youtu.be/sZcaL2jAUss 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
The Farm 20 - Difficult detail on the Build!! | Some more Concrete will sort it.
Dive into this exciting Bridlington property renovation vlog on King Street! Watch as we tackle a major basement overhaul in an old UK shop, removing massive rusty diesel fuel tanks (around 3 tons each) that were stinking up the place with fumes. We cut through old pipes, cables, pumps, and meters while treating dry rot and ensuring no spills with cat litter absorption – all to prevent environmental hazards and keep the project safe.Part 8: https://youtu.be/z-zWtLZRxYo?si=2CnCfaxbJxzB6ikG Part 7: https://youtu.be/Ylmgoq_gwOA Part 6: https://youtu.be/2Aj89GxPxT4 Part 5: https://youtu.be/pdacgd06O_M Part 4: https://youtu.be/rwTob_VD5zY Part 3: https://youtu.be/TCdh5NRFWyc Part 2: https://youtu.be/fWBkJs5vArY Part 1: https://youtu.be/oegV0EEMeJQLast week, we demolished a brick wall, and now we're dragging out tanks partially under the pavement, beyond our property line. Full planning permission approved by East Riding Council for the Victorian shop front – quick and hassle-free, unlike experiences with Burnley Council! Asbestos survey results: all clear, no issues. We're prepping for EPC (Energy Performance Certificate) to meet rental standards without costly double-glazing on curved windows. Hear my rant on utility drama: power cut off due to previous illegal weed grow op in the basement, and they're charging £1,800 to reconnect – why pay standing charges if they won't fix it? Safety first: Using extractor fans to blow out diesel smoke and grinder sparks to avoid fires. Updates on local King Street revamps – three shops getting facelifts, including one I bid on at auction. Future plans: Build a new supporting brick wall, break out concrete, reconnect water with a T-piece for upstairs facilities, and finish window painting. Perfect for fans of UK property flips, shop renovations, basement cleanouts, diesel tank disposal, dry rot removal, and historic building restorations.

Industrial roof restoration, steel repair, sandblasting rust, welding corroded beams, and full factory roof replacement on a 40-year-old furnace building. Watch us remove composite panels, cut out rotten steel, blast heavy corrosion, and rebuild this industrial structure. After decades of leaks, corrosion had eaten through sections of the steel beams, leaving deep pitting and holes that required cutting out and welding new patches. We brought in a dry sandblasting setup using garnet and iron silicate media to remove heavy rust that grinders simply couldn’t touch.🔧 In this video:Removing old roof cladding panelsDiscovering hidden corrosion damageCutting out rotten steel sectionsWelding repair patchesIndustrial sandblasting setupPreparing the structure for new roof installationThis furnace building has been sealed for over 40 years — the first time it’s seen daylight without a roof!If you enjoy heavy equipment, fabrication, welding, construction, and real on-site restoration work, you’re in the right place.Roof restoration | Sandblasting rusty steel | Steel repair | Old furnace building renovation👍 Subscribe for more industrial repair, blasting, fabrication, and site work videos every week.Other Ironbridge Video's Apex Steel Corrosion - https://youtu.be/MkOWiBkHCFw?si=7GGUuL4hTs6d29_x Birthplace of the Industrial Revolution - https://youtu.be/LABGT5FHb94?si=TELJfnDVnzX72I2k Blists Hill, Ironbridge - https://youtu.be/ZPhoXL57cB0?si=txrFG5yoBzr2GX6W Rotten Timber Purlin - https://youtu.be/44iw60iwMYk?si=0XDIJD7xE2wMPeqZShare this Video with friends and family: https://youtu.be/8jdSv5UV7n8 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 #sandblasting #roofrepair #roofreplacement #industrialroofing #steelrepair #structuralsteel #rustremoval #weldingrepair #metalroof #cladding #factoryroof #industrialconstruction #steelrestoration #abrasiveblasting #constructionproject
SANDBLASTING 40 Years of Rust to HISTORIC Building
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

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.

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.
