Morning and welcome to a brand new project with me and Steve. In this one we’re stripping out an old conservatory so we can kick off a rear extension/garden room, and I’m filming it properly day-by-day so you can see the job as it actually happens. First jobs were getting the site prepped, boards down, kit out, then isolating everything in the conservatory—radiator off, lights down, socket fronts off, and the two spurs pulled so nothing starts tripping out while we’re ripping it apart. Then came the “unexpected” bit: the roof glass. On paper it’s simple—pop the trims, pop the beads, lift the glazing out. In reality, every bit of it was stuck solid, so it turned into a bit of a nightmare and, somehow, all the panes of roof glass ended up breaking and landing on the floor. With the skip rules now, you can’t just chuck everything together, so we had to bag and separate the glass properly. The one saving grace was the Halter Force waste manager, which made shifting a ridiculous amount of broken glass way less painful. Once we got into a rhythm, we showed the proper method for removing internally-beaded glazing (security-wise it’s miles better than external beading), and by the end the PVC frame and roof were down. Next up: blockwork, and checking the old footings—because I’m betting they’re nowhere near deep enough for an extension.
