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
Thank you. Yes that’s correct. If you don’t notch them in you see them when you set the next panel in. Especially in code 4. Also it stops the lead from sliding around.
I found it so difficult finding a tradesman who could do a lead lined stepped box gutter on my house, having just looked on your website at your gallery, I wish you lived near me. There’s some beautiful work there. Please think about getting an apprentice to help carry the trade on
Thank you and thanks for watching I really appreciate it. The building paper protects the underside of the lead from alkalis in concrete, stone and screed. It also reduces corrosive attack when laying onto plywood or oak.
You know when you fix your lead work into masonry with the nails and copper washer. Do you just use a normal plug to do so? And normal nail? Thanks mate
Stuart, you’re a legend. But we still missed out on the cut and nip. The vid was not complete. ☹️ What would happen if you use a stapler on the building paper instead of nails? Would the staples react to the lead? And what is the minimum and maximum length of welts to welts?
Thank you and thanks for watching. Sorry I didn’t show the cut and nip. But I have this in some of my other capping vids. With a stapler you’d have to be careful with the metal the staples are made from as some metals react with the lead yes. And with the maximum length of the welts it depends on the thickness of the lead and if it’s close to a corner etc.
Thank you and thanks for watching. I heat the lead up to soften it and then turn it onto the copper with my fingers. Sometimes I then tighten this with some seeming pliers. This process can be seen in some of my other capping videos.

What is the purpose of the building paper please? Also you didnt show the installation of the copper? 😉 Surely it cannot be continuous? As in , one piece?
Brilliant! Thanks for posting that so quickly.......
No worries. Thanks for watching.

That will look lovely in some thieves' van on the way to the scrap yard.
I really hope not. Luckily this is nicely tucked away.
Thanks for watching.
Excellent workmanship Stuart take care
Thank you and thanks for watching
Nice work as usual. Do you notch the copper clips in so they don’t interfere with the next course of lead?
Thank you. Yes that’s correct. If you don’t notch them in you see them when you set the next panel in. Especially in code 4. Also it stops the lead from sliding around.
🤘😎🤘
Thank you and thanks for watching
Hi mate lovely job,how did you manage to form the drip edge on outside and bend under copper strip where there is no scaffolding,
Thank you.
It was a bit dodgy. But I done it all by leaning over.
Hope the back is better 👍☘️🇮🇪👏
Thank you. It’s definitely improved to be honest. I still have to be careful though and get a few twinges here and there.

Any experienced Roofer or Leadman can do as such.
Thank you. As a matter of interest where about do you live ?.
I always watch your videos, your work is unreal, just one question though what is the purpose of building paper?
Thank you and thanks for watching I really appreciate it.
The building paper protects the underside of the lead from alkalis in concrete, stone and screed. It also reduces corrosive attack when laying onto plywood or oak.
That looks amazing! What are the copper clips which pin the lead down called?
Thank you.
Exactly that. Copper clips of sometimes referred to as cleats.
Thanks for watching.
You know when you fix your lead work into masonry with the nails and copper washer. Do you just use a normal plug to do so? And normal nail?
Thanks mate
I use a red plug and a 25mm annular ring shank nail.
Thanks for watching.

love your videos thank you, but how did you turn it up under the copper?
Thank you and thanks for watching.

@@slbleadworks thanks for taking the time to reply. Keep the videos coming
What does the building paper do and should you put it in lead valleys as well???.
It protects the underside of the lead from alkalis in concrete,stone and screed.
It also helps reduce corrosive attack when laying onto plywood or oak.
Yes you should put it in valleys too.
Thanks for watching.
hi stuart how much would something like that cost to do
Around £1300.00 to supply and fit.
