@@eamonhyland8873 I work on building that have had their roofs on nearly 100yrs and nothing is nailed. I nail the tiles in the middle of the roof just not the end tiles. They will never blow off.

@@aspec999 let me know how it goes

@@aspec999 no, you want the supporting tile to have a rafter taking the weight of the tile. You don’t want to put stacks of tile on just felt without the rafter as that is what supports the weight. The supporting tile is there just to support the stack.

@@rhodsullivan7773 I don’t nail my verges. The cement is strong enough. I work on houses/mansions that the roof has been on for nearly 100yrs and nothing is nailed.

@@roofinguk NHBC would not approve.

@@rhodsullivan7773 a lot of the modern houses are being built under their standers fall apart. I mix my work between old and new methods to what I thinks works best. For example they want screws between each mortar joint in the ridges. Absolutely not necessary. The old original way just sand,cement ridges with no screws has worked for many yrs. no need for this extra rubbish. 👌🏽

@@paulpurves484 thankyou

@@gillandsteve123 I never nail. I work on houses that are extremely old and dont have nails and have lasted very well for a long time. I like the cement flush with the tiles and undercloak. Personal preference.

@@rosettenzerrer roofing verges don’t need ventilation. The felt under the roof is breathable. Also they have waste pipes for for extractions and ventilation outlets for bathrooms etc. thanks.

This is a large scale project in the uk. I work on many restoration projects. All the work on do is based on specifications due to being old buildings or listed buildings. This is just how to prepare a verge. Once Iv done this I point it to make smooth then I brush. I have made a separate video for this. Thanks.

Добрий день,я чомусь так було й подумав. Маю будівельну освіту, свого часу працював на будівництві. Але рівень нашої архітектури і вашої,це "як небо та земля"! Я захоплююсь вашою архітектурою.

@@user-ut4xv6sh6rThankyou for the kind words. Maybe you’ll like watching some more of my videos. 😊

Залюбки!

Why do you not nail the tile? It’s on the edge and wind can lift it.

@@epiphgd4302 wind definitely won’t be able to lift the end tiles. All the weight of the tiles and cement pinning everything in Will hold it all together together.

@@roofingukdunno fella. Belt and braces and all that. Thought it was a building standard in the uk past 10 years.

@@epiphgd4302 I work on roofs that are 60+yrs old. Allot of the roofs weren’t nailed at all and back before all these British standards came In, the building quality was much better quality as everyone working to British standards are on price work and cut corners as much as they can to earn the most.

Some people in the uk nail their verges, not screw. I never see it necessary to nail verges as its strong enough with cement holding the verge.

@@seanwhite405 I prefer the brush look, I don’t like the shine of new pointed cement.

Thank you! Cheers!

Thankyou.

@@GreatestLegacy you know it. 😃😃

@@radiogramgramophonetoons5802 on this specific job we had to use natural slates but usually you can use cement boards also known as undercloak

@@roofinguk undercloak……… ok thanks and what material is undercloak

@@radiogramgramophonetoons5802 it’s a fibre cement board.

Could you explain your reason, thanks 😃

@@brettmeredith2966 never go more than a 3in1 cement mix.

Thankyou for watching appreciate the support.

Thankyou for the support. I’m hoping to keep the videos more regular.

On the building I work on it’s not normally a thing we do. Only ever done it on houses that are all built the same on big housing estates.

@@radiogramgramophonetoons5802 I use 3 sand to 1 cement. It’s white cement for the specification on this job.

Was gonna say the same lol

@@fattossa what mix do you normally use?

No batten end protection ,,, mortar get wet soaks through onto batten batten rots put verge slips/ fails ,,,,

@@Joe74854 never seen this happen. I work on building that have had the roof on for 50-60+ years. I heard on multi scale building sites they want the treated end of the batten on the verge or paint it to protect it. But we all know the quality of building sites that have hundreds of the same houses being built.

To cement ridges properly you need 3 sand to 1 cement mix. Also to re do the ridges you need to take the ridges off and cut and knock off all the old cement and remove the cement from the tiles also. Then you need to re bed the ridges. NEVER put anything over the top of the cement as when the cold or frosty weather arrives the cement will just fall and crust off. And no weep holes shouldn’t be needed.

Thank you!

Very important process for roofs. Last thing you want to do is turn around after laying 5 tiles at a time. Especially when you have thousands of tiles. A lot of the roofs we do have 20-30,000 tiles to lay.

@@roofinguk m8, I’ve been doing this for nearly 40 years, the rod should be 6 tiles wide. That’s 2 bundles of 14 plus your 2 carriers. You don’t keep marking the same measurements, you work out the width of the roof. Fuckin amateurs! Never seen such bullshit !

Is there a way you’d do this different? Back bed the tiles?

​@@roofingukHe's gone all quiet mate you caught him tripping on his own BS 😂

I think we used 38s ally pegs. You don’t want the pegs deeper that the batten as if it touches the felt it will eventually effect the felt causing holes.

With scaffolding, materials and labour it does all add up. But I’d say expensive all depends on the individual’s budget. Thanks for commenting.

It was a very old barn so the architect wanted to keep it as original as possible plus it was only to store farm vehicles/machinery.

Fair enough! Amazing job!

We are cutting in the valley on this roof.

Thankyou. 👌🏽

I really like a cement verge especially when done tidy. 😁

​@@roofinguk Slates don't need to be cemented in with an undercloak as they don't have a camber and are extremely thin compared to tiles... That being said, all verges should be bedded , not pointed up like you have done. Your DIY repair won't last long.

@@SocialistChampagne Thankyou for your comment. But unfortunately I don’t think you’re skilled in this trade.

@@roofinguk When are you changing your name to DIYroofing?

@@SocialistChampagne all verges need cementing as there would be an open void which wildlife would have easy access too. Plus rain which would cause damp. The old verge lasted 20years. This will last just as long. If not longer. Again, Thankyou for your comment. 👍🏼

I don’t like nailing the tiles as I think if a verge tile ever broke would be impossible to repair without damaging the whole verge. Thanks for the comment 👌🏽👍🏼

@@roofinguk appreciate the comment bud. If a tile broke then it would need rebedding across 3 tiles anyway surely so no problem with nails? I’m not here to dig you out mate, there’s a lot of people in the comments and everybody does it slightly differently. Love the content you put up 👍🏻

For plain tiles I used 100mm or 4inches. If you need to work in a roof you can go smaller than that my 10-15mm but it’s not advised to stretch the roofing gauge more as it’ll cause less head lap and more chance of water getting in.

On a slate roof the best way is to slate the verge in completely and once slated then push the cement in on the verge. But do not put cement in the tails of the slate. Just the bit from undercloak to underside of slate.

Not best video at all. Should be nailing the verge.

Please remove this it gives roofers a bad reputation

Appreciate the positive comments. I’m lucky the firm I’m on is pretty relaxed.

I always use a 3 sand 1 cement mix. I prefer to use ready made mixed sand. Has a small quantity of shard sand in it to make the cement stronger and firmer to work with. Also no plasticiser.

@@roofinguk is it sharp or soft sand ? Thank you

@@ffortezza2402 in builders merchant they might have bags of mixed sand which is a mixture of sharp and soft but if you can’t get hold of this then soft builders sand will be ok.

@@ffortezza2402 also I have done a video on how to lay the tile and bed the tiles on with cement. Thanks.

@@roofinguk sorryto be a pain but I am new at this…. Would you give me the details of the mixed product you use? Thank you

The architect wanted the building to be restored back to how it was originally built/roofed etc. only used for farm machinery.

Appreciate your opinion but I don’t agree with you. Are you in the trade as a roofer?

@@roofinguk yes mate been roofing 25yrs so I no exactly what’s right and wrong fair play just film your day don’t do how toos lol

@@ruralrabbitcontrol9422 it’s easy to make rude comments online. My work is far away from rough. The videos don’t show half the stuff I do. Thanks for taking your time to view some videos.

Doing that gives me a sore back. It works for me on a small roof like a garage but I personally just prefer to load it out. I have a bunch more videos if you want to check them out. We loaded a 60,000 tile roof and a 28,000 plain tile roof. Had about 5 of us losing it out. Appreciate the time. 👌🏽.

@@roofinguk most i ever did was 12,000, im lazy now, speed not my thing

@@davidbird380 I have a video of the 60,000 and the 28,000. Was allot of work as we had to throw from the ground to scaffold then chain up the roof. 😴😴

I brush as I like the way it looks. As long as the finish product looks good at the end. 👌🏽. Appreciate the comment.

Thankyou for the comment. I have a few more videos on this channel. I’d be interested in more of your views on them. 👌🏽

Thankyou. Appreciate the kind words. I have many more videos to checkout if your interested.
