- This is part 16 in my series of DIY loft conversion videos where I take you through my loft conversion step by step from start to finish. In this video I install a velux window (GPL CK04 78x98cm) with flashing kit, fit some lead soakers around the chimney breast, and fit some more slates.

Awesome, I love how multi skilled you are, I am glad to have found your videos! These must have taken hours of work so thank you! Keep it up👍🏼
Only just noticed this comment so sorry for late reply. But thanks for the kind words and thanks for watching.
Looking good fella. Keep the updates coming.
Will do....when I get time! Thanks for watching.
Brill mate, really enjoying this series of videos. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for the comment.
Cracking! Love these vids mate.
Thanks for the feedback!
Soz meant to say keep up good work
Thanks for the feedback Paul!
Well done Pouse, good work mate.
Thanks for watching again!
Another great video. Neat job on the slate roof and Velux window.
Thanks for the comment!
well done mate
Thanks for watching.
Looking smart
Thanks.
You dovelux windows same method I use mee up your good work
Thanks for watching!
Don't cement ridge tiles mate, dry ridge it on these composite slates..👍
The dry ridge kits look awful on old houses...just my opinion of course. That's why I went for this method. Thanks for the comment!
Getting on well. You should have fitted a proper front apron to base of chimney and lapped the soakers onto it. Check out Peter Scholey on YT. His demonstration of lead work to a chimney is absolutely spot on, bombproof.
Yes, I've seen that, but I think what I've done will work nicely, more to come in other vids. Thanks for watching!

I’m not going to get into an argument over your lack of side lap on the apron. We’ll have to agree to disagree😂
Proper lead work is an art form. The lads that specialize in lead are wizards, 🔨 🇮🇪
well. all looks ok,just lead flashing for the chimney totaly wrong .
Well I just reused the lead flashing that was already on the roof and kept the house dry for years. Can you elaborate please? Thanks for watching.
Pouse said he was going to re point the existing flashing at a later date.
You must save yourself a fortune in labour costs pal
I did, but I'm probably a lot slower than tradesman, and time is money so I don't think paying a good tradesman is a bad option if you value your time. I don't have a social life so it was OK for me! Thanks for watching 👍
Should got the front apron in before you started slating
I was trying to get it water tight before I could finish if that makes sense. If you watch later videos I put a proper tray around it. Long winded way but suited my slow pace of working!!
These roof slates what are these look different to conventional slates
How effective are these compared to conventional slates? Are these ok to walk on these?
Fibre cement slates. Man made and yes you can walk on them. They are Cembrit Jutland slates I think.
Patina oil for your flashing. Maybe you add it later.
Yes I used oil on the lead. Usually before if I can. If I forget I do as soon as I can once fitted. Thanks for the feedback!
The in/correct way to fix the Eternit poor work on the slating
What brand of staple gun you got there?.
Stanley. I've listed the tools in description below video if you're interested. Thanks for watching 👍
👍👌
Thanks!
How much does it cost for a loaft conversation in a bungalow
Not a clue sorry.
If this is your DIY project What s your main job? Loft conversions? 😁
The day job isn't building work. I don't think customers would be happy with a loft conversion taking 2 years!!!
@@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE 🤣🤣 well done for taking that on, that's a big job.
Say "Packings & Noggins" One More Time 😡😳🤣😈
Packings and noggins
Give us an update, how many times have you returned to this job? The slates don't overlap correctly, eventually water finds the nails bringing corrosion to it and snap the lath. Not best practice mate.
Never gone back. I explained about the slates below the roof. Nails are copper, don't rust, and I did a bespoke set up with the membrane below flashing so it's working perfectly years later, not so much as a drip on one of the 3 windows in the worst of storms. Thanks for watching.
Is that you on guitars and vocals...?
Nope!
You should never avoid a short course on slates you've done it propetly
Thanks!
Don't put nails in the middle of the slate water can get down between the joints from the one above. You should have a 150mm side lap
The hole you're referring to is covered by another slate, and the ridge tile. I mention it in the video. Hope that clears things up. Thanks for watching.
If you look at the video you put one nail in the centre of the slate at 410 , 415 and at 650 in the video. Even though the next slate on top covers them nails the joint of the next slate above is right on top of it. water does penetrate across on the joints . There is supposed to be a 150 side lap .that's why the factory nail holes are out near the edge. I just thought I would tell you since your going to so much effort with your project. Keep up the good work thanks for the videos.
Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching!
@ brookfield84 - I haven't put the ridge tiles on yet in the videos so how could you comment on something you haven't seen. It must be a special gift you have. Thanks for watching......again.
😂
Leadworx.co.uk get yourself a proper wielded front apron mate they wield the corners that will cost you around £40/£50 tops in the grand scheme of things on what you spent it’s nothing and will give you complete peace of mind in all weather conditions.
The way you done it with a soaker dressed round the corner works in most conditions but you can bet your lucky socks in extreme winds it will blow the rain under the soaker and cause you a leak.
I use that company for all my lead wielding needs there based in Cornwall there quick and efficient at getting your order out to you too
Your need to take out your first slate going up the chimney as well to get the front apron in properly but I’m sure you know that already though pouse
I made my own in the end but thanks for the tip!
Leave it to the pros you cowboy!
“On my next video I will perform heart surgery, how hard can I be!?!?”
I imagine I could pick up heart surgery with a bit of practice! Thanks for watching.

ohh yeah I have faith in your abilities, but don’t film the first tries and upload it on UA-cam!! People might think that’s the right way to do it, but then again a real surgeon will see it and will have something contrary to say .
