How to Install Undercloak on tiled Roof Verge ---
Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 чер 2021
- A core component of any roofing project, undercloak is a strong tile or fibre cement strip that is fixed at the roof verge, beneath the battens. This will provide an effective underlayer to support a bed of mortar and allow for mortar adhesion, whilst also offering a clean finish to the verge detail.

A thumbs up for another well explained video for anyone else doing this for the first time.
I like these videos, they help a lot, explaining it without jargon. If you have the b@lls to DIY you can save yourself a packet.
Great video, helps me understand what my roofer is doing.
Great video mate.. I’m a general builder and although I’ve installed undercloaking many times before, it helps me to brush up on how to do it correctly.. Many thanks👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks buddy 👍
Is that correctly tho lol
Great vids 🤙🤙
Another useful one, thanks!
Thanks buddy 🙌
Love it
Well i hope you are going to hold public visits and tours once finished
Haha if I ever finish 😬
Thanks for a great video explaining this. I had no idea what that board was called and love your video explaining how it should go on. Would the last tiles on the end have an overhang on to the undercloak board which you then mortar up the gaps?
You've got it 👍 I done it in this video ua-cam.com/video/zisgIRX318I/v-deo.html
What a find! Such interesting content. Can I ask a question about the verge treatment. Do you add a wooden fascia of some description and then seal the brickwork behind to keep moisture/rain out?
It's a wooden frame so no brickwork. The gable rafters are wrapped in breathable membrane and I've put what's called a barge board ontop of that
i didnt realise that you were doing two seperate buildings!
Go big or go home hey 😂
Have you got a video showing how you space the battens for the first and second rows, please?

Hi, I'm planning to install wooden apex door canopy for my house. Next to use T&G cladding board on top of frame, then membrane, battens and clay marley tiles.
To finished tiles verge i would like to use the same fibre cement board. Is this gonna be alright?
Will be doing small roofing project first time so I'm trying collect some information.
Thank you
Obviously I still got in my head lead flashing 😊.
If I'm understanding you correctly, that's pretty much exactly what I've done on this building so yeah, it'll be fine
How do you do this on a roof which has been counter battened or is a dry verge system a better option? Thanks
I would assume a dry verge is an easier option but I've never done one. I've also not done this with a roof that had counter battens but logic tells me you put the undercloak board on top of a couple of counter battens at the verge then it would just be exactly the same as I had here. Then your barge boards would cover the counter battens that would have been visible at the verge
Do those boards overlap on the one below or butt up to each other?
Just butted
Did you cut the fingers off your gloves yourself or do you buy the that way ?
They come like that, they're called framers gloves, carpenters use them mostly
Does each cement board just butt up to the next?
Don't answer then
It does indeed
Underfloor goes under the felt but fair play to you.
I pulled up the nhbc standards and it shows the felt goes underneath the undercloak and to me, logically, this makes more sense. I'm interested to know where you learnt to do it the other way round though?
i agree felt over top, creates a cupping effect rather than a bleading edge , im interested to see what nhbc regs are, got a link ? one nhbc inspector told me to duct tape the lap of the joit of breather membrane !! from underneth 😂
I got pulled on site for installing the Undercloak in this way. Was told by the agent that the undercloak has to be under the felt! I know makes no sense and I’ve never heard that in my life and been roofing 20 years
Well that site agent was a numpty hey haha you can pull up drawings from nhbc and see that they show the membrane goes underneath
Why undercloak they sell is only 1200mm long ?
Not sure, maybe it's because anything longer might have a risk of snapping whilst you're trying to install
@@THE-AIDEN-PROJECT anyway thanks I found you vid helpful 👍🏻 keep making them
Unfortunately it goes under the felt
Thanks for the comment. It goes over according to NHBC 7.2.19
Don’t mind that lot, come back to me in a few years when the laths and gable rafter are rotten, I’m a roofer with 24 year under my belt and counting 🤣
@@thedarkhugheshughes2640 the gable rafter is fully covered by membrane and I kept the mortar off the end of the battens so I'm sure it will be fine. 7.2.19 was produced because of the astronomical amount of claims because roofers were doing things wrong so I'd rather do it according to the standards
There not roofers if there doing it wrong probably UA-cam roofers or travellers
@@thedarkhugheshughes2640 I can't see many UA-cam roofers or travellers doing new builds with warranties provided by NHBC. If you're saying that both the UK's leading provider of warranties for new builds as well as the National Federation of Roofing Contractors are wrong then 🤷♂️ enjoy the rest of your day
Get on
What is this all about?🤔
It's about something you must binge watch and tell all your friends to do the same 😂
@@THE-AIDEN-PROJECT I doubt it mate. I’ve been a roof tiler for 35 years. I’ve never done that. And if I did it for another 35 I still wouldn’t.
@@paulleigh5351 oh OK, thank you for the valuable contribution 👍
@@paulleigh5351 What feedback are you actually giving here?! Anything useful or just claiming you can piss the highest...?
