How to bed roofing plain tiles on verge
Why didn't you nail it? You are meant to cowboy
@@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.
I remember old stuff was asbestos think it's a. Fire break
Nice job. Not so easy to replace the pointing when the tiles overhang like on my house.
I understand this, I just thought down pressure may slightly mark up the felt. I’ll give it a go tomorrow 👍
@@aspec999 let me know how it goes
Does the supporting tile at the bottom cut into the felt
@@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.
I hope those verge tiles are fully nailed and that is sharp sand in the mix.😊
@@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. 👌🏽
Lovely job very tidy
@@paulpurves484 thankyou
No nails ? I always hang the tile over the undercoat by about 3mm
@@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.
Where ventilation?
@@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.
Чудова робота. Але я не розумію однго! Це автентичний метод,тобто реставрація? Тому що, є набагато дієвіші способи. Тай більш естетичні! Дякую...
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.

@@user-ut4xv6sh6rThankyou for the kind words. Maybe you’ll like watching some more of my videos. 😊
Залюбки!
Thankyou to everyone that has watched the video. Please like and subscribe
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.
😅😅😅habt ihr keine passenden Ortgänge die geschraubt werden. Das da hat man nur nach dem Krieg gemacht. 👎🇩🇪
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.
Brush hahahhahahahahah. God that was painful, before anyone says it I’ve been a roofer 36 years, looked tidy enough mate though well done
@@seanwhite405 I prefer the brush look, I don’t like the shine of new pointed cement.
Nice work. Skilled
Thank you! Cheers!
Looks very tidy, satisfying to watch
Thankyou.
The best roofer in town
@@GreatestLegacy you know it. 😃😃
What is that board made out of that the cement mix sits on ?
@@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.
Shocking
Could you explain your reason, thanks 😃
Needs a bit more cement i recon
@@brettmeredith2966 never go more than a 3in1 cement mix.
I'm a Canadian stone mason. I've never pointed a roof, but it looks interesting.
Thankyou for watching appreciate the support.
Lovely job i had my verge done on a new extension but after a few years i noticed cracks appearing in the mortar, so i took the old mortar out and noticed roof batten ends were beginning to rot due to the mortar touching them and acting like a wick should a gap between batten and mortar have been in place.
Thankyou for the support. I’m hoping to keep the videos more regular.
Should have put some dye in it same colour as tiles 😊
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.
Great video. I would love to see more detailed long form videos about the roofing systems you use in UK. I am in the US and we rarely see tiled roofs here.
How much cement in that mix
@@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.
Hello from Melbourne. I wonder if you could do a video on how to repoint ridge tiles on a roof and cover such things as whether the old pointing needs to be removed first- whether weep holes need to be installed on ridges running from the top down to the gutters etc? Thanks
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!
What a load of bollocks 🤷🏻♂️
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 !
Perfect technique 😂
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 😂
What size nails did you use for pegs? I've got some old Kent peg tiles I'm wanting to use for a wood store.
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.
What's with the stupid voice?
Looks really tidy. Is this an expensive job to do?
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.
Where's the felt?
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!
What is going on in that valley?
We are cutting in the valley on this roof.
Bricky by trade nice clean job mate
Thankyou. 👌🏽
no shade on u but no matter who or how its done cement verge dont look good
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. 👍🏼
Why haven’t all the edge tiles been nailed as you go & mucked in to half the width of the tile? Also, battens could do with a string line on them, apart from that 👍🏻😂
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 👍🏻
Hi what gauges u use ?
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.
This is the best video on the subject. Does the same principle apply to slate roofs? Or just use a plastic dry verge strip instead of mortar?
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
Nice got my 1st one to do tomorow
This video is a banger😊😂
Im the one who did it
Great video mate. You got any jobs going? I've been a slater/tiler for 30 years but have always been on price working for a firm. Everything has to run at 100mph to earn decent money. I'd love to slow it all down to get more job satisfaction. Love watching your vids 👍
Appreciate the positive comments. I’m lucky the firm I’m on is pretty relaxed.
Hi What mix do you use and ratio please. Also do you add plasticiser? Thank you 😊
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
No breather membrane?
The architect wanted the building to be restored back to how it was originally built/roofed etc. only used for farm machinery.
was you wearing your proper PPE this time
Sausage on the roof Sausage for breakfast and job done he he Good job
Shocking work just looked through your over videos why do how to videos when u don’t no how to do it yourself
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.
i put them straight on, one pulling up, one passing, i touch the tile once
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. 😴😴
Brush🤮🤮
I brush as I like the way it looks. As long as the finish product looks good at the end. 👌🏽. Appreciate the comment.
if youre gonna show off do it properly, the holes are in the eave fir a reason
Thankyou for the comment. I have a few more videos on this channel. I’d be interested in more of your views on them. 👌🏽
Tidy job nice you can see edge of tile
Thankyou. Appreciate the kind words. I have many more videos to checkout if your interested.
