- Want to learn how to do the roof work for a garden shed? You're watching the right video! Will demonstrates how to lay the rubber for the gutter, as well as how to place the lead cover flashing under the coping stones. Our roofer recommends using a crowbar instead of a bolster to prevent any damage to the coping stones. He also demonstrates how to bend lead with timber. We have drone footage to show you the full process of how to build a roof for a garden shed! Watch for roofing tips, advice, and satisfying time lapses!
P.S. Watch until the end for a teaser for the Shed Build's next installment! Enjoy.

A shed that has a better roof than 90% of new builds. 👍👍👍
Thank you BadNinja! take care 👍
I was being kind at 90%. 😂😂😂
Nice to see a ‘young un’ (no offence)
having skills & a passion for what they do. 👍👍👍
Proper lead dressing is an art all on its own plus you need the patience of a saint for starters.Thanks for taking the time to film,edit and upload.
Thanks Frank for your support👍
Nothing shoddy here .
Beautiful work fellas
Thanks Saxon, have a great evening! 👍
What a group of tradesmen you are. Always a joy to watch!
Hi Marcus much appreciated it means a lot to use all thanks for watching all the best Tony 👍 have a awesome weekend
Another really helpful tutorial on lead work, my workshop roof doesn't seem such a daunting task now... But watching a skilled roofer demonstrate and then a landscaper giving it a go is two very different things!But thanks again, even understanding the processes properly gives me more confidence.
Glad the video made your task at hand seem less daunting Andrew, thanks for watching and have a good week! 👍
Really good workmanship and clearly talented. Nice to see you actually care about the quality of work you produce
Great craftsmanship 😎
Bet Will climbs mountains and wrestles grizzly bears at the weekend 😉
Absolutely loved this series. Watched the lot in a day and I was glued all the way through. You guys are a credit to your craft and British construction as a whole, you do the trades proud. I’m sure your client will be made up with their new space 👍🏻
Hi Conner thanks for your kind words, it means a lot to us all. Having amazing creative awesome people makes it all possible thanks for watching all the best Tony 👍 have a awesome week

Thanks Darren, take care 👍
Wills lead work is fantastic he makes it look easy but trust me it’s not 👏
Thanks GH! You're absolutely right, much harder than it looks. Take care 👍
I’ve done a few rubber roofs and they are brilliant. So easy to do; no flames, no mixing. Ordered my gear from rubber for roofs.
Hi Slashley gibbins,
I couldn't agree more. Rubber is a fantastic product, which a huge lifespan. It's definitely the way to go 😎
Thanks for watching.
All the best, John 😊
Hi Slashley we use rubber for roofs great company to work with and cost effective, have you used the felt backed rubber still yet to use that one all the best Tony 👍
Build With A&E no, just the standard rubber.
Skills on show again, cheers lads!
Thanks for watching DJ, take care! 👍
A&he is number one in the uk 👌👌👌
Thanks Jabar! That's very kind of you 👍
First time I’ve watched lead work...great job Will. Thanks for filming guys 👍🏼👌🏼🏴
Thanks for the kind words Rob, take care 👍
Another skilled Operator, like the use of insulation board as knee rest also I suppose distributes the weight out. Nice one lads
Thanks for watching Dave, take care 👍

That's very kind of you Maria, have a great day 👍
Amazing work well done 👍
Top class lads. Well done.
Much appreciated Jason, have a great evening! 👍
Will my friend, you remind me of Captain Caveman with you yellow stick beating on that lead piece..
Mate, I reckon I'd love it in England. Craftsmanship of the tradies there are superb! Not like these shonky builders we have in Australia.... for example Simonds builders.
Keep up the good work boys!
Thanks for watching bud 👍
What a awesome job! Using excellent materials the only thing I would change is the get rid of that polycarbonate for glass or perspex. I hate polycarbonate discolour easy goes brittle
Quality work once again boys 👌
Thanks Mark, take care 👍
Quality lead work, be welcome on my projects any day, unfortunately I don’t pay traveling time to Durham 😩
Thanks for watching Stuart, take care bud 👍
Nice work lads, was looking forward to watching the welding though 😞
exactly!
We'll definitely do a lead welding video at some point, don't worry 😉👍
Quality work 👏 👌
Thanks for watching Josh, take care 👍
Great tutorial
Many thanks 👍
Hi why not take off toppings run rubber sheet onto top of wall then re bed saving on tricky lead work .just a thought 🤔
Could you use Damp Proof Course instead of the 1.5mm rubber? (Pros/Cons?
What keeps the rubber stuck to the wood?
hi, is there any need to bond the lead flashing to the polycabonate roof? Is this normal practice to do so? Also, can you apply the patination oil after the lead has already got water stained? Thanks and really impressive skills and video!
Will your a pleasure to watch mate explain everything so well cracking job again from all of a&e. Will how would the gutter be done in lead at that cute slope would it be welded at the joints then would expansion be an issue??. Thanks In advance 👍🏽
Is there anything you guys can't do? You need your own TV show!
Thanks Jonny! This means alot, take care! 👍
I’ve had to watch it late coz it’s I’ve had to help out with some hay bales
Hope you enjoyed! Take care Lewis 👍
That Will gets all the easy jobs doesn't he 🤨😂
Whatever the job or challenge at hand, he just cracks on 😉👍
Its incredible how heavy it is too
Great series. Out of curiosity is John a director of the company or site manager?
Thanks bud! John was our foreman for this project. Tony is the director 👍
is there a tip to remove paint from lead because some spanner painted it instead of re oiling it
great job, be great to see what the customer paid for all this
I never knew Alfie Solomons was a roofer!🤣
How did you point the lead up in first gutter ?
Will is british Aaron Koffman of builders
😜👍
Is the mortar enough to
Hold the lead in place ? Wood
You recommend using tack glue between the roof tiles and lead
Hi ///M SHAHID,
Providing that you use lead clips, it is perfectly fine to point up the lead using mortar.
Hope this helps.
All the best, John 😊
@Will great lead work. I was wondering do you know how to remove staining from lead which was not treated with oil?
Better late then never, wire wool in the same direction as the leads natural grain and patination oil straight after!!
@@lewisparker8832 thank you
Great upload as usual👍
The pitch seems really low on one section, wondering if there is a risk of water tracking up under the lead flashing there?
Hey Tiktok, glad you enjoyed the episode bud!
For poly-carbonate roofs, the suggested minimum pitch is 5 degrees. Our pitch for this roof was 15 degrees. Take care 👍
What’s the roof made of please?
Why do they use lead in UK? It lasts forever? I am guessing you don't get much snow seeing as that flashing is only one course high. Curious if the building authority has approved the raised extension. That slight roof pitch and the fact it is higher than the block wall to my mind will likely mean the water will not necessarily drip down into the trough but shoot off onto the neighbours property. Please follow up with another video.
Hi Michael b,
It's rare that we get a lot of snow in England, plus the area is well sheltered between the two buildings; so there will be very little snow on that roof.
With regards to water in the neighbours garden; the area of the roof in which the pitch is greatest, falls beneath the coping stones, and so there is little, if any chance of water crossing the boundary. The section which is raised has such a low pitch, that the speed in which the water runs will be very slow. Because of this, and with the addition of a capillary drip section at the bottom of the roof panel, it's highly unlikely that water will breach the boundary.
I hope this settles your concerns.
Thanks for watching.
All the best, John 😊
@@BuildWithAE Must have missed the episode with the capillary edge. I've seen some YT horror stories about how some Londoners are digging down multiple levels in order to get every mm of space out of their property. Blocking streets and exposing neighbours to water damage in their efforts to build down not up so it is fascinating to see the extreme lengths people go to in order to maximize their living space inside and out. This reno seems well designed to offer more space without compromising the adjoining neighbour's property.
Not to be negative, but is it only in Sweden that that your not aloud to use lead anymore 🙂?
Hi Kristoffer Uutinen,
Lead has been used in roofing for centuries, and research has shown that the main negative impact is on the person installing it. It has very little, if any environmental impact. However, I can understand why a country would choose to ban it, as it is a potentially harmful material, but it is totally legal and acceptable to use in the UK.
Thanks for watching.
All the best, John 😊
If you have used 1.5mm plastic for the guttering, why then add lead?
Hi P Cass,
We used rubber in the gutter, which doesn't bond very well to brick. So the rubber was lapped up the timber wall plate, and then the lead was dressed over the top to form a watertight seal.
I hope this helps.
All the best, John 😊
DID you no the word plumber is Latin for lead worker,as that's what most old time plumbers dealt with.....Batton roles,welded seams,, ahhh memories of advanced plumbing..have you tried making a 90 degree pipe bend out of flat lead, which they used to use to feed the toilet pan from the soil pipe...
Great vid as always. Quick question. Could you use patination oil on copper pipes or do you think I’d be better off with brasso. It’s the gas pipes outside the house
Hi aljroche I would stay with brasso but you could always speech to the LBM technical people on line. Thanks for watching all the best Tony 👍
Build With A&E thanks for taking the time to reply Tony. I’ll test a bit of each
Need to build a pent shed off the side of my house. Any other options for flashing rather than lead
Hi Paul try leadax all the best Tony 👍
@@BuildWithAE top man cheers for the reply. Keep up the 1st class work and content
12:04 thats how you get Aladdin
Come on! His welsh accent isn't that bad! 😂👍
😊👍
1 word of criticism as a roofer myself is to patinate the underside of the lead to compensate for capillary action.
17:17 except he did.
He most certainly said he did.
Would it not have been easier to leave the coppings off when you built the wall🤔
Hi Anthony worthington,
We had another design in mind for the guttering at the time, otherwise we would of 😁.
Thanks for watching.
All the best, John 😊
do you use mapp gas or oxy acetylene for your lead welding..????
You use a small oxyacetylene torch
Should have taken the copes off, gutter gonna be a problem getting blocked
Hi Graham,
We installed gutter hedgehogs along the whole gutter. These help to prevent debris blocking them and can be easily removed for cleaning.
Hope this helps.
All the best, John 😊
Fair enough ,but with the detail blockage is gonna happen and somtimes with hedgehog they cause more damage , cheers for the feed back
how come you don,t use lead seal to point up? as recommended by lead association
Hi Chris in certain locations I like to use mortar with lime but most of the time we do use Lead sealant thanks for watching all the best Tony 👍 have a awesome weekend
Hi Chris,
Providing that you use a sufficient amount of lead clips, and the pointing up is done correctly, there is no reason why a mortar mix cannot be used. It also provides a more aesthetically pleasing finish than lead seal.
Thanks for watching.
All the best, John 😊
hi our local building control insist that we use lead seal but they might let you use much on listed building but prefer lead seal because lead association says so and we are a marine environment
Great workmanship, it's shame that all of the cowboy builders out there give the building trades a bad name
some say "will eats lead for breakfast".
Pukka👌🏻
Thanks Daniel, have a great evening 👍
That looked a pain in the ass that
The challenging jobs are always the most rewarding 😁
All the best, John 😊
@@BuildWithAE sure is spot on hope you get lots of work through this tuff time
Rubber box gutter ain't gonna work repaired loads
will dont you like the lead silicon filler
So that’s how u did it 😂😂
Yes bud, you asked about this on the last episode's comments didn't you. Hope this helps, take care and have a great evening! 😂👍
Build With A&E yes it does thanks great work
Take the coping stones off take the rubber on to the brick re bed the coping stones. No awkward rubber work no awkward lead work. Very neat though but unnecessary.
Would of been good to see you boss out that small box gutter,,rather than just fold it bud
Think I have a man crush 🤷🏼🙈😂😂😂
😉
Well done Will you should be working on woman’s privates with that skill
I take that this is a gutter and is the rubber water friendly?
It is indeed for the gutter, and the rubber used is roofing grade, so perfectly safe to use.
Thanks for watching.
All the best, John 😊
