Laying the 110mm plastic underground drainage pipes

In this part of the big build series we are laying the new 110mm underground drainage pipes for the new kitchen and bathroom before the bricklayers arrive on site. I am also redirecting the existing waste pipes out of the way so we can get on a build
Here is a link to the pipe manufacturer Wavin who have some good videos on 110mm underground drainage

You need a tv series, there’s nothing you can’t do!

To all the naysayers on here; if you’re half the craftsman that Robin is then you wouldn’t feel the need to criticise. I’m a joiner of 45 years experience and Robin is an exceptional craftsman and as he quite rightly points out he is a “chippy”. I’d like to see people pointing the finger here do a hand cut roof to Robins standard, or in fact any carpentry to his standard. Easiest thing in the world is to criticise.

This is really useful. For some reason i thought the waste pipe would have to travel through the side of the trenchfill footings, but this has shown me how you do it 👏

Back in the early 70's I took a year OUT of Plastering to work with my brother on the County Council road Gangs .... LOVED digging trenches by hand, even to the point of working through the RAIN - much to the disgust of the rest of the chaps who thought I was setting a BAD example :-) "We don't get PAID to work in the rain"

Your an absolute beacon of knowledge Robin, thoroughly enjoy your videos and all the wisdom you share

[garryfreire]

I agree with the comments here. You need your own tv show. Top quality work!

Great work Robin! Made me smile when you mentioned Wavin... my dad was a delivery driver for 30 years for them, as was his dad.... I’d spend my school holidays ‘up the road’ with him delivering... happy memories 💪

That last few seconds of footage has reawakened the nightmare of the last few weeks! It has been a nightmare being a brickie! ☔💧💧

That number plate is awesome!!! Great work.

Robin a tip I was given when laying drains, tape a piece of 2x1 to one end of a 6ft level @2" when your bubble shows level voila!

[johnmorrissey]

Great to see pipe work going in proper 👍☘️🇮🇪👋

[markhuckle]

Cut the pipe 3 times when only once was needed. The man is a perfectionist 👌

[mollyrockers]

Brilliant Robin, whatever you do, you do it PROPERLY. A great role model for youngsters coming into the building trade. Thank you for sharing, my favourite channel !

[alecturner]

That Roger can't sling pipework like you Robin. Top job.

[jonno]

Thanks for giving mere DIY mortals like me the confidence to DIY - i've learned so much from your channel and i'm doing stuff around the home that just few months ago I wouldn't have dared to.

Good stuff Robin. A method to stop the loss of the pea gravel is to put down a membrane first, such as Terram, then the gravel. Cover the drain with the remainder of the gravel and then wrap the terrain over. It keeps the pea gravel together, but allows movement.

Love this series. So many great tips on how to do a job properly.

Another tip for cutting the end of the pipe square, I use a piece of half round gutter, that has been cut dead square, lay that on top of the pipe to either mark a cut line as you rotate the pipe, or use it as a guide for the grinder blade

[gmurdock]

Keep the videos coming mate - the more details the better! Great stuff.

Looking forward to more videos about this build
Was supposed to get the extension done last year so all this stuff gives me an idea of where my money is being spent 👍
