Been waiting for this 👍I've been a Tyler for over 40 years and have a passion for my muck work and it's nice to see someone who cares about there roofing as much as I do👏👏it's amazing how many dodgy tyling jobs I've put right some completely started again over the years👍as soon as I saw he had struck it out I knew it was gonna be good👏👏👏👏👏
Yep your 100% right can’t stand dry ridge/verges they look crap, should be banned, everything is for speed now and has taken the craftsmanship out of the trade. Guys like this are a dying breed.
My exact thoughts! He had my respect as soon as I saw those valley battens cut on the angle 👍🏻 as a good roofer, you know a good roofer when you see one. Not many about anymore though
@@shaunlucas3810 indeed I'm approaching 60 👍we are a dying breed😂 and although the job is much easier now it's sadly hard to find youngsters who want to learn
Well then my dearest younger brother you should’ve stuck it out with me instead of taking the easy road being a plumber you always was a lightweight still you are a grafter now I turned out a top fella but you had a good teacher 👌👌😂🤣🤣
It was a really nice thing to do. I mean, two tradesman taking the time to explain what they did and why, instead of jumping straight into the middle and we want to catch up with them.
Hello Robin and Andy, Fantastic video.... Nice to see Andy at work and he is knowledgeable in roofing. But Robin, you are overall champion in house building with knowledge experience and expertise in the field. No doubt about Andy he is too smart in roofing. I love you both and hope to see Andy more frequently in future with you, Robin. God bless you all....... Best wishes from Leicester, ENGLAND. Ahmed
It’s those relationships that solidify the quality of your builds. No doubt he loves to work with u. Nice scaffold, nice customers who appreciate quality and r willing to pay for it. Red Ferrari guy.
@@ukconstruction Nice and sunny. We need some of your rain. I hope u get a little time off to enjoy what u have worked very hard for. Of course u love your work, and your friends. Enjoy a walk down to the pool house. I’m going to ride my little Suzuki Van Van home thru the hills from Lake Isabella. Sorry!! TMI 😂😂
I did not relies how skillful roof tiling was , I tiled my own roof years ago looking at this video and back at the roof I tiled , I bogde it but it looked OK and kept the rain out.
It is a joy to see pleasure from a craftsman translate into their work, in a world where good work is rewarded with insolvency and loss of reward for excellence (James), its very encouraging that there is hope for those who take pride and craftsmanship seriously , imbedding that into our admiration of architectural masterpieces for many generations to come. I can only aspire to match their driven creative and technical prowess.
Great to see a proper skilled roofer taking paying that level of attention to detail, and a proper grafter too. The government need to make it easier for small traders to employ apprentices. Such a skill shortage and yet there’s still many good trades out there not being able to pass down their knowledge.
If it's done right the first time round you shouldn't have any problems. great to see another tradesman take great pleasure in his craft great build also coming on a real treat Robin and the team
Just a keen Diy’er but great to see proper craftsmen at work who enjoy doing a proper job. I really learn from every session and i am a Ken Diy’er as i started putting right some work i had paid to be done many years ago. Thanks Andy/Robin great content as always
the info graphics in the beginning are worthy of the great work that follows ... Please tell your team it's noticed on top of the incredible work and tips you display on the project tooo Robin.
I agree that the info graphics are a strength and whomever is assisting you this way on the channel is doing a great job that serves the masterpiece you are all working on … love the BIG BUILD
Im an apprentice roofer i have been doing it for 9 months now and i love it. This video was a joy to watch. Andys skill, knowledge & precission are incredible. Its great to see a master at work and to listen and learn. I wish my teachers were half as good as andy!
Andy is a very crafty guy, its nice to see you let Andy share his skill and knowledge. Before seeing this video I always thought this guy was labouring for you. Maybe Andy should start his own youtube videos.👌👌😁
Thanks mate I love my work and it’s not always easy getting a nice finish like this but me and Robin always work to such a high standard together and our knowledge and years of experience pays off and we bounce off each other work so well together it’s like a family team 👌👌thank you for your comment 👍👍
What a nice guy the roofer is never in my days seen one thats not goin on like they no everything but do crap job just with whats done can see this roof is goin to be millimetre perfect
great vid. ive only been on a couple of jobs where rosie's or acme tiles have been installed on a full roof. good to see the attention to detail too. always learn something from these videos
but then i would have any work to come and fix them nearly exactly 10 years after they've been built! ;) all jokes aside it is depressing the poor workmanship that goes on, there's a lot to be said about pride in your work. it does seem to be on the decline in the building trade. then again i'm in property maintenance for the most part so from a business point of view it suits me just fine
This is something I often think about. We want a new house, a new build, but how do you know who builds them well enough? I saw a tiny cul-de-sac of about 12 houses, all new builds. They have a traditional look, the finish is absolutely fantastic. But realistically most new builds are built by large companies. What to do?
@@lloyd4011 buy something 15 years old, after 10 years everything fails and a further 5 is normally enough time for everything to have been repaired. Hopefully the remedial work has been of good quality and then you're in good stead. Either that or do it yourself (a difficult option I know) or have a good relationship with a developer you know you can trust, but again a difficult option
Another fine video from teamRC, my god you guys are right up my street love it 💙 lovely bit of muck with consistency of double cream, generous splash of waterproofer and at this time of year a good splash of zero mix (Frost proofer) (obviously your filming like the soaps 10 wks in advance), and every tile has an ally nail in it up the verge not every 3rd or 5th row, in the words of punch & judy that's the way to do it 😀 👍 😉
Andy needs his own channel , get some slating videos etc Good to get the perspective and methods of a fellow roofer . Also decent that he works alone .. more lads and more speed doesn’t necessarily mean a good job . Respect Andy . Robin ur Orite too ha
Thanks for your comments I will definitely try and do some more content on all types of concrete interlocking plain tile and slating natural and man-made sleep I do have a Instagram channel called Andy Wiltshire Roofing all the best mate take care have a great weekend
Absolutely brilliant Andy I've been up on a roof tiling all day and really appreciate the tips. If we had started at 200 gauge then infilled later it would have saved me twisting my ankles!! 💯👍🙏😁
@@lloyd4011 it's quicker and easier to use, also requires less maintenance... still don't like it, much prefer muk work, no skill in the new plastic stuff 👍🏻
@@lloyd4011 I started when I was 17 years old over 30 years now I’m just replying to some of the other comments I can’t stand dry verges plastic stuff hate it where’s all the skilled Craftsmen gone people I want it quick easy because I can’t do the job properly so plastic this dry plastic system is no muck work It’s for the people that haven’t the skills
Andy is the man. I’m a carpenter, tiled a few roofs in my time as well. Get asked the same thing, why don’t you get help / a labourer etc. I answer, they let you down & you spend more time watching what they’re doing. Up to the right standards etc. That pointing trick on the verges is new to me (30+ years & I’ve never seen it) but I’m nicking it. 👍
Too true about labourers atm. I've had a number of people in to help and labour but it's always a nightmare and actually just slows everything right down.
With you on this. 95% of the work I take on is only work I can do myself. Had hands to help me in the past but spend more time making sure they do the job properly it takes just as long if I'm on my jack. And I pay a decent hour rate as well which takes the p!ss.
I've been a roofer for 17 years now and I do things the other way around I tile everything in first and then bed the verges, each to their own I suppose. Good job though
Tradies of a certain generation, "I set out at 100mm for the roof and 4.5" for the verticals" I still do this and berate myself for mixing my metric & imperial> Cracking stuff though guys. Nice to hear from Andy and learn a bit how a roofer does his craft. Impressed he's done most of the roofing out on his own - testament to a real craftsperson.
Nice work, just used dry ridge system for the first time on a new house we have just built and it's awfull, can't beat sand and cement, Feb and SBR. I must say years ago wouldn't dream of using undercloaking on them tiles you would use the tiles 👍
Any videos explaining how to extend eaves tiles to sit in the gutter... Need to fix a roof by extending eaves tiles....new to this...didn’t realise eaves tiles existed till today. Assumed all tiles were the same lengths
I've found that cement, especially on pantiles, tends to crack off after not that many years. I agree that the plastic verges look pretty nasty, so is there a better material than plain cement we can use, or is it just a matter of using the very strong 3:1 mix plus adhesive that this chap recommends? I can see that that will work well for these flat tiles, but you get a big fat dollop with pantiles. The cement on my extension lead valleys is frost-shattering after 10 years and needs re-doing. And the section which has an aluminum edge over the tiles (to mate with a PVC mebrane section) has all separated, no doubt due to large differential expansion of the south-facing ali verge piece and the cement. There must be a better way...
I must be the only lucky one with reliable lads and are skilled. Hard going on your own in a normal environment open to the elements etc. must take you a long time to reroof a property? Customers usually want it done reasonably quick. That cement board should be over the underlay and filled with mortar to bond the lot together. That will crack and fall out in a few years.
Imagine finding the series at this point and being able to binge watch it from the start👌
Hopefully!!!
Whats the gauge on rosemary tiles
That roofer is a credit to his trade.
the tidiest cement work I’ve seen on a roof👌🏼

Imagine if all new houses were built to this standard. It might cost a few quid more but we’d have houses that didn’t fall apart.
They needn’t cost more, it’s just that a lot of newer build homes will skimp on the quality in order to maximise the profits from the house sale.
but then i would have any work to come and fix them nearly exactly 10 years after they've been built! ;)
