Footings have been dug which in this case expose an
underground pipe which will require steel mesh
reinforcement to protect it from crushing.
|
|
|
|
|
Concrete is poured into the trench to form the footings.
|
|
|
|
|
The concrete is levelled ready for building on.

The construction of this particular conservatory called for optional
cavity trays to be installed due to the exposed site location and the
stone external house wall onto which the conservatory was to be fitted.
Most conservatories do not require this option. |

|
|
Lead flashing is fitted and in this case optional cavity
trays.
|
|
|
|
|
House wall is pointed once lead flashing is fitted.
|
|
|
