Another fantastic job its very effective, thanks for the time and effort you put into doing these videos it is really appreciated

wow what a lovely job, how long did it take you to do 1 barrel, very skilful and a very informative video, keep up the great work

You do a lovely job… Please don't stop the videos

Beautiful work

No no no no! wtf you put a half round ridge up your roof!!! How ugly, spoils everything, put a secret gutter in!! Spoils the whole roof that for me. I’m a fully qualified roofer, and the rest of it looks ok but unless you live in wales you don’t run a ridge up your roof ! 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

I am Puzzled by the hip tile up the roof, is that a local to you sort of thing?

Just subbed. I am a bricklayer by trade but we did get taught the basics of leadwork during our apprenticeship in the eighties. Lovely to watch you work, I remember being taught how to stretch and shrink lead a little. Looking forward to learning more now.

beautiful, you should be well pleased.

Hey Stuart nice looking Roof. Are the tiles made of concrete? Are you nailing each tile into the battens or do some hook over the corresponding batten. I’ve done 1 ceramic tile roof here in Massachusetts where I live and we fastened it with stainless screws, leaving some play for the material to move.

Are you not going to put a lead roof on that bay window roof why you are up there?

Nice job, This is some of my cappings and vertical weatherings from 1974 - it was originally a Cartier Superfood / Freezer Store www.google.co.uk/maps/uv?pb=!1s0x47df35a553b0061b%3A0xa05c8d2c4e8ba0eb!3m1!7e115!4s%2Fmaps%2Fplace%2Ftesco%2Bwest%2Bmalling%2F%4051.2940743%2C0.4085376%2C3a%2C75y%2C119.74h%2C90t%2Fdata%3D*213m4*211e1*213m2*211s2DpTz3BdkRGncoNwbilgQQ*212e0*214m2*213m1*211s0x47df35a553b0061b%3A0xa05c8d2c4e8ba0eb%3Fsa%3DX%26ved%3D2ahUKEwjRrPnZ4oOHAxUdZ0EAHfSpDW4Qpx96BAgKEAA!5stesco%20west%20malling%20-%20Google%20Search!15sCgIgAQ&imagekey=!1e2!2s2DpTz3BdkRGncoNwbilgQQ&cr=le_a7&hl=en&ved=1t%3A206134&ictx=111 (edited to correct error in clients name)

could have just copied next doors gauge and the tiles would meet up, I personally use an eave batten at the top, flipped 90 degrees, still, looks suberb and that roof will easily see you out! top job.

🤘😎🤘

omg the chemtrails over your area

Lovely job, stuart. i can see why you put ridges up next door, so you can keep your 100mm gauge to the top, i like third round hips better. The only thing i would change is the sweeping hip, i would use 10mm laths to bring the tile of the membrane only concrete tiles will transfer moisture onto the membrane, the old felt was most likely bitumen based so probably works better if you need to nail directly to the board.

What’s with the chem trails in your sky? The English weather is bad enough as it is. Ever since they started overwhelming our skies it’s just been raining consistently.

Your breathings terrible

That looks awesome Stuart. You can do my roof any day. Is it possible you can show us how he does the curved roof tiles?

How come you run a ridge up the party join why not just tile in to the neighbours ?

I've replaced countless hip joints like this where the muck fails after a few years and due to the tiles being flat, as you know with your laps on lead, water works it's way sideways as it goes down the roof. A bonding gutter, bonding tray, or even better, running through off of nextdoors tile courses as its the same tile!! I hate to be negative, I've almost deleted this a few times as You’ve been so helpful during my lead journey over the last 3 years , but it's a shoddy way to have joined to next doors. Unless there is some kind of secret gutter underneath it, too?

Slow is steady and steady is fast! Well done!

Fantastic work. I see the flashings wasn’t ideal but your not getting paid for chasing out. Made up for it by the saddle

Most of your hips are the same profile do they make prestamped hips? I'm in the US been in architectural metals my whole life unfortunately lead would not work in Florida where we have high winds.

Fantastic work! Any footage of you doing it ? Thanks

Great vids! I'm not in the biz, but I understand you're supposed to use construction paper behind lead , but you didn't use it on the cheeks? Why is that? Also vapour barrier on top of breather membrane? I didn't know that was a thing? Thanks Mark

Thanks! I'm a welder and mostly weld stainless steel with Tig. Now I have a problem with some roofing in my gutter. I'm going to go and give this a try! Thank you very much for sharing!

Good vid

Really enjoyed that mate. Just did my first run of lead flashing on a lean to roof, as my lead man left me in the lurch, and it came out well. There was a mention of tallow in the comments. It’s an American work for rendered beef fat, we call it dripping in England. I can’t imagine why you’d use it for anything on a building site apart from a nice bit of fried bread.

You are a legend.

You should teach mate. Oh , you are! I have 3 flat bays a porch and a garage and the price s I have been quoted are out of my budget. I binged watched your vids and they are brilliant. Thanks very much. My son in law has promised to do them if I get the gear is there a welding equipment supplier that you’d recommend?

I think you need to do more vids working on your roof. Show us your mate does the round roof.

Now that’s what you call water and cockroach tight

Would you please recommend an equipment to find in Canada for welding lead joints please?

Could have shown us the finished product a bit better

How do you wedge the flashing into the tile grooves? You skip to it already being done. Just a hammer to shape it?😊

Does it ventilate into the soffit? Or is it just the slither at the top

Is the dorma roof going to be lead as well?

I knew you'd do that in lead. I'm looking fwd to seeing the process. It's going to look amazing.

Delicious.

Your gonna finish your dorma in Lead? Hats off to ya, gonna look smart that, looking forward to next vid 👍🏻

That looks neat Stu. 🫡 Hope there’s a vid on this.

How is that curve being battened?

Looking good and that curve is gonna look smart 👍

What spacing do you use on the lead clips and nailing?

Awesome job mate ❤

hobbyweld make quick release couplings for gases. no more undoing nuts and loosing gas each time. buy extra and can swap between long or short hose setup. personally i like the other comment use small propane and rent free oxygen setup.

If you push your weight on a large dresser and iron out the lead you don’t leave loads of imprints by keep tapping the lead with dresser , also using a bit of lightning conductor is good for creating welted seams

check out hobbyweld gases, dont pay the huge rental costs of boc, one off deposit at start.

stuart, dont know if boc still sell them but you can get quick release fittings for the gases, just unclip your bottles of the hoses then. that was back in the 90's though when i worked f or esab

think you were having problems because you were using metric adjustable wrenches, try imperial ones 😜
