@@sue00009 usually 1.2-1.5mm thick. I forget i this one.

@@vic772 thanks, just add a little water at a time, don’t over do it. It only takes a small amount to make it too wet so err on the cautious side. Mix can also be 2 sand one sharp one cement for roof work.

Thanks, it's been really helpful.

@@yp77738yp77739 hello, I had to repair a chimney few years ago and had to go back to do more couple tiles, eventually turned out to be the clay terminal sitting in the pot, so I have experienced this too. I assumed they were water tight prior to that but they can let water in. On that job i just removed a the pot as it wasn’t in use, and concreted the top, problem was solved. If it’s use don’t use the fire with a bucket over the top as it could cause dangerous fumes to divert into the house possibly. I’d get a different cowl for use on gas fire that won’t let water in.

@ Thanks for the advice and the safety warning, but yes the gas fire hasn’t been used for 20 years. If we remove the top and fit a concrete cap, does there still need to be a little ventilation for it to sweat (the roofer previously put waterproofing “cream” over all the brickwork) or can you hermetically seal it off completely. Thanks, we’ve been trying to solve this for about 15 years, luckily because it is open brick it doesn’t go mouldy or need constant redecoration, all it does is cause some white efflorescence which I periodically clear with lemon juice!

@ yea needs 2 air bricks fitted on top course of bricks to create air flow and ventilation in the cavity. Otherwise will create damp from condensation. Air bricks on opposite sides of chimney.

@@sminty415 thank you. 😃

@@roberthamilton2334 not really, just go to local roofing yard and see what they have, you want the attachment for the back of it also, to attach the tubing from the extractor fan.

@@TheProdigy1982 thanks mate. Haha yeah I’m on a few of the roofer groups. 👍

@@jonam2184 my guess 70-80 years.

@@JoeNoakes-ne1pv not really, would be pretty difficult and putting fascia up tiles will be in the way. Also can’t fit a eaves tray.

@@scottmansell5731 huh? Not sure I understand the question

@@melsagelord3991 I stopped answering price questions, get them all the time. Get three quotes and do your due diligence mate.

Yes

There is no felt on the whole roof bud. 1930s house.

@@epiphgd4302 better contact building regulations and let them know. They may have missed something on this system being made compulsory for new builds in the UK, no more mortar can be used. 👍

@@whomadethatsaltysoup it’s a old school nail stitch. They used to do that back in the day. 👍

@@spectrumanalyzer3093 glad it was helpful 👍

@@nobloodyusername I’ve seen loads not fitted well to be fair

@@brianemery2119 no I don’t. On the joiner and corner pieces tap lightly and consistently till it’s through, then it wont split. The board itself doesn’t need pilots.

@@gherkinavoider4452 by a competent and experienced roofer should be 1/2 day to max a day. I’d price it at a day to allow for unlikely complications. We just repaired 2 done by dodgy roofer and did both easily in a day.

Thanks for the reply. It doesn’t look like a major job for someone who knows the score. You’re not in Glasgow are you?

@@gherkinavoider4452 Birmingham sorry.

@@ryan2387 where did you get 600mm apart from? It’s max 1000mm actually, and I usually have 5/6 on a 4m length so it’s less than that.

No not at all you’ve 1200 apart….get that gutter full of snow and it’s off pal….

And you’ve cladded over old timber soffit no vents or over fascia vents

@@ryan2387 did you measure it? 😂 utter rubbish.

@@ryan2387 I didn’t do the soffit, just replaced fascia and gutter.

@@ryan2387 I didn’t add batten here as there is no gutter to hide it and would be visable from the front door right below. My other videos on bay epdm jobs I usually add a batten to existing fascia and have OSB go to end of batten and cut OSB flush to it. Creates a better more even drip edge that way. 👍

Yeah I hear you. See it sometimes. Up in Scotland sometimes they fully bed due to the costal weather I guess but in mainland UK not really necessary and a lot easier to do.

@@jmybuild thank you mate. Enjoyed this one and customer very happy. 👍

@@clairemcevoy4862 it’s probably lime in the brickwork to be fair but a small amount of cement for just fitting these brackets is a not an issue and sets 100x faster. It would be issue if it’s all pointed in cement/sand though, fair point.

@@ryan2387 thanks 👍

@@GK-qc5ry only if done in dry conditions and good pressure is used to stick it down. Usually they come loose. A bitumen primer can also be used to make it last longer but again it has to be dry conditions.

Yeah good spot, I used a slate hook that that slate rests on which could have been placed higher. Fair point, but still water tight, these slates have 4 inch headlap which is more than enough, it’s now 3. Back in the day slating was 2 inch headlap, stripped many of those and they didn’t leak because of the 2 inch headlap.

Thank you. 😊

@@britishbluetess thank you mate, glad it was helpful. 👍

yeah well you get some bad "roofers" out there and it is a bit of mind field I'm afraid. Good due diligence and reviews, recommendations, etc. is the way to go. Also the tray does tilt the right way here, you can add a batten on top of the rafters for it to sit on if needed to get the right angle.

@@jamienash5263 for expansion allowance, a joiner piece covers the gap

@@davesalter that's very good to know. I was wondering if it was that. If just using straight pvc instead of the overlay one, is it still necessary? Also, how are the soffits usually attached to the wall? And how do you join the soffit and the fascia?

@@nicolebourcierphotographer thank you. Where you based then?

@@Skjerstad1812 no problem, good luck with your job! 👍

@@maltesefalcon56 I think it was around £250 ish materials, for labour/business costs end of it I’d advise get 3 quotes and don’t just go for cheapest but do due diligence and decide partly on instinct and company reviews etc.

Thanks dave...can you start Monday?😂

@@maltesefalcon56 a Monday maybe yeah. 👍😃

@@MrAbbler different companies may charge differently depending on skill, experience and size of the business/company overheads, etc. I don’t give out my prices on here anymore so I suggest you get 3 quotes and decide based on each price/company. Cheapest isn’t always best in this game, remember that. Thanks.

It’s not rocket science mate, once battens are cut put it in against the wall and nail it as shown in the video. Cut the tray with tin snips, a saw, multi-tool, failing that use your teeth. Thanks.
