That was not only a class video, but therapeutic wayching in many ways, love the no-rush mentality too, do a good job first time, loved it mate - well done and thanks!
Fit these all the time. Couple of tips. When you glue and activate the joint covers just do one side as this allows it to expand. If you glue the whole thing to both parts they can split. Also when trimming the rubber under the trims use a hook blade in your Stanley knife. Lastly try to get some one to help on the gutter drip by pulling the rubber while the other person nails the drip trim. Makes the water run off easier. Before we lay the rubber we give the OSB board a quick sand with some 80 grit paper to a, give the glue a better key and b, to knock off any bits of paper from the nail gun or chips from the countersunk screw heads. Perfect video mate btw. ❤
Good clear video, well explained. I am about to do another one and wanted a refresher. However I remember using an extended pole on the roller so I could stand up while putting on the adhesive
Very helpful Video, a tip though for potential users, PVA the top surface of your Boards to seal (These Boards are very porous) and paint the edges, and left to dry, anything will do as long as It's oil based.
I was told by a rep for the supplier of the rubber roof system that PVA can have a reaction to the adhesive and therefore is not recommended although sounds a good idea, not sure how true this is though.
I was wondering this also. So are you saying the water goes off one side of the roof which does not have the raised edge because it is sloped? I apologize. I am confused because I’m trying to finish off a roof that I don’t have money to pay a professional for. The rubber membrane is on and I need to attach a cornice… But the water needs to go somewhere! Thank you for a wonderful video. It’s the best I’ve seen!
@@worklife4221Great video! I am about to do mine tomorrow and I'm trying to work out what you do with the curb trim regarding the fall of the roof. I want the trim to be level and not sloped but then when it reaches the drip trim it will be higher. What did you do for this? Thanks
Really helpful, cheers. Any advice on how to stick and seal the rubber to a vertical brick surface that is next to the roof? My flat roof butts against a taller brick wall. Thanks again.
Yes you can, the supply a primer agent for masonry or brick walls which you paint on and when it's dry you use the contact adhesive on the wall and the rubber as per his edges.
Great work, can the EPDM be laid on top of current felt on my leaking flat roof! Also I have a roof lantern 2m x 2m, how do you get around that please?
Prep was an EPDM primer and applied onto sterling board also can be applied onto plywood just make sure it’s dust free with no bits sticking up that can puncture the rubber
Can you prime the board with waterproofer to give it an extra layer of protection, let dry and then apply the WBA adhesive? Will it still bind to the wood underneath?
Yeah I thought so, only because I'm going to be pricing a flat roof repair, possible re-roof on grade 2 listed building, the clients are quite saddened by the constant presence of leaks. So, for peace of mind I wondered whether to include this in price, though I know deep down, the rubber and proper installation is good enough.. I may prime the underside of board before pinning down, then carry on as normal? What do you think? Thanks for the promt response to mate 🤙🏽
its ok I've got it. its the top of the whit facia board I'm presuming. does the gutter drip just get pinned to one edge ( the back edge ) where the gutter is going ?
@@worklife4221 so you don't have to keep getting up and walk around the glue around the edges.. I'm not picking... I just asked if there was a reason you started at the rolled up rubber end rather than work back towards it...
@@mervmervalot2296 I do it that way so that I can roll the adhesive onto a bigger area as rather than kneeling on the rubber , but I do it the other way as well

Nice to see it done right and use contact adhesive on edge.😀
Some companies don't supply contact adhesive now, except for doing upright surfaces.
They only supply the water based glue and mastic for the edges.
Love it when one takes care and pride in their work. I hate nothing more than shoddy workmanship. Fine job here 👍🏼
Appreciate that bud👍
Ok superstar
Such a relaxing video - I can guarantee that I won't be tomorrow when I give it a go 😅

@@CharlesGriffith1965 thanks mate glad u enjoyed
Great explanatory video...one question: As the edges are raised where does the rain water drains off? Many thanks.
The back edge isn’t raised so as the roof has a fall on it the water all runs off into the gutter
@@worklife4221 😁

Hard to tell as I need to see a picture, is it possible to fix sterling board or ply to the wall?
Yes you can, the supply a primer agent for masonry or brick walls which you paint on and when it's dry you use the contact adhesive on the wall and the rubber as per his edges.
I was looking for this exact question. What did you do?

@@sarfrazusman3067 no it can’t it has to be stuck down it will not stick to felt
@ ok thanks for your response. Any chance you can carry out the work at mine?
Really helpful thank you 👍
Great job bro.
What was surface prep?..what surfaces can this be applied to?.. good Tuturiol...thanks
Prep was an EPDM primer and applied onto sterling board also can be applied onto plywood just make sure it’s dust free with no bits sticking up that can puncture the rubber
Can you prime the board with waterproofer to give it an extra layer of protection, let dry and then apply the WBA adhesive? Will it still bind to the wood underneath?
I’m not absolutely sure but you should not need to as nothing will get through the rubber, maybe email the company and check with them

is it possible to shorten one edge if the rubber has already been added. The roof overhang is too long and we need to shorten by 15 cm
@irenemarshall4528 I have never tried but I think that if you have already stuck the rubber then you won’t be able to get it up,
Thanks for the great Video. Can I ask which thickness rubber did you use and apart from the obvious, is there a difference on which thickness is best?
I used the 1.2mm rubber which is the most common one to use,they also do 1.5mm which is more for commercial use, hope this helps
great explanation. love the vid. what was the white stuff on the edge of the roof please when you first started
Facia board
its ok I've got it. its the top of the whit facia board I'm presuming. does the gutter drip just get pinned to one edge ( the back edge ) where the gutter is going ?
great video
can this be laiyed on top of current felt
@@MoragBorland definitely not
Can the rubber be joined where there is a dogleg on the roof
How long should you wait before rolling the rubber on?

Hi, what fall should there be on a 3.5m building? Also if the building is not exactly square can i alter the corner caps do u think?
Any idea where a diy’er can get the correct adhesive in the U.S.A? Looking for something like wba 3781 I think
Will try it soon 😊😊
what type of roof coating do you use over top of the EPDM?
You don’t use any coatings that’s how it comes
Hi, can you advise where you got your rubber roof kit from, please.

Thankyou 👍
What size batten do you use on the sides. Thanks
I think from memory it was 25x50mm roofing batten
Decent work, but where is the drip trim into the gutter? No way near enough overhang to even make it into a gutter?
watch again bud there was plenty of overhang and when tested the water ran into it just fine
how long did this take to do?
@@delbut2 literally just a few hours
Any reason you didnt start back and work the adhesive towards the rubber?
