Essex Conservatory

Hello and welcome back to our blog today we would like to discuss and inform prospective clients about the need to instruct a specialist company for your conservatory needs we here at Johns brickwork Ltd specialise builders when it comes to building your luxury conservatory.

                                                                                           Groundworks

when you consider fundamentally all of your luxury conservatory will be sitting on your footings is important to remember that it is critical that you conservatory fitting should be constructed in a way that is suitable and acceptable in the form of building as you can consider that the overall weight of conservatory will be bearing down on your groundworks below is a brief explanation as to how we carry out a strip footing for you conservatory

 

When they arrive initially to carry out the groundworks the arrival of our machines i.e. dump trucks and small mechanical hydraulic digging machines will make their way to the rear of the garden in preparation for setting out of your groundworks first of all our works supervisor will mark out the prospective area as to whether machines will commence digging this is usually in the form of a yellow spray line which would indicate the outside brickwork line to which the conservatory will be placed upon.

once the outside yellow line is clearly in place we will commence the excavation of your footings all of our footings are done to a minimum depth of 1 m deep by approximately 500 to 600 mm wide although the soil is collected and placed in the dump truck to which then goes along the front of the building and discharges the soil there being dug from your ground.

Should we come across any underground pipework electrical cables or any unforeseen foreign bodies that clearly runs through our footings we will split the footing and then we will place concrete lintels over this said item that is obstructing to make sure that there will be no weight bearing down on any of these items.

Once with footings of at the correct depth to the complete perimeter it is then backfilled with ready mix concrete that will arrive in a large 20 ton lorry from the lorry it will either be wheelbarrow through or it will be pumped through a large long pipe that is connected to a second lorry which is called a pump.

Once the concrete has been completely discharged from the lorry with within tamp the concrete level using a 4.2 piece of timber.
