- In this video I'm back on my own place working on the dormer. I fit the lead flashings up the sides. Stainless steel fly/insect mesh. And do all the timberwork to the dormer. Making sure there is adequate ventilation ready for the lead to be installed.
I hope you enjoy.
I think you need to do more vids working on your roof. Show us your mate does the round roof.
Thank you. I’ve done another vid on my roof recently.
Great vids! I'm not in the biz, but I understand you're supposed to use construction paper behind lead , but you didn't use it on the cheeks? Why is that? Also vapour barrier on top of breather membrane? I didn't know that was a thing?
Thanks
Mark
Hi Mark. Yes you need to use grade A building paper. I will do before I put the lead on. I’ve Just covered the dormer with the felt breather membrane to protect the ply untill I can lead it.
And I called it a vapour barrier. But it’s just another breather membrane as there was so many holes in the first layer.
Now that’s what you call water and cockroach tight
Thank you and thanks for watching.
Does it ventilate into the soffit? Or is it just the slither at the top
It has an airflow from underneath and I did design it to vent out the slither out of the top too. But I might be changing that.
I knew you'd do that in lead. I'm looking fwd to seeing the process. It's going to look amazing.
I hope so too. Thanks for watching
Your gonna finish your dorma in Lead? Hats off to ya, gonna look smart that, looking forward to next vid 👍🏻
Yes that’s the plan. Just so busy at the moment so it’s having to be put on hold.
Hi, thanks for your videos. Do we need lead flashing on top of soakers? What is the size of flashing please?
I did for this detail.
The sections were cut into 1.2m using 150mm code 4.
@@slbleadworksThank you for your answer. Do you have any video on lead flashing above soakers please? I want to know if the lead flashing above soakers is tucked behind the tiles or does it cover the tiles slightly? I was trying to check this on your video but couldn't be sure. Thanks

This video might help you out
Is the dorma roof going to be lead as well?
No I’m having tiles up there.
Hi Stuart, why do you use a breather membrane and a vapour barrier over the top?
Hi.
It was a bad choice of words. It’s just a breather membrane.
