  • It's been great to get this small but tricky part of the roof finished and looking pretty awesome! Not much left to do now! 😀

    I often take the diy approach to almost all jobs. I don’t know any people in the trades personally and don’t know who to trust, separating the experts from the expert bulls**ters! Inspired by fantastic channels like this and accepting a job will take me 10 times longer than people in the trades, ‘if you can diy’ approach is definitely the best! (Whilst saving lots of money to buy tools for the next job 😀). I think this vid highlights the art of a skilled tradesman who is a master in their craft though and bow down to this level of work. Fantastic!

    Some beautiful lead work. I have to say, you’re lucky you found someone who obviously has such pride in their work. I was left to dress all the lead on a large up and over roof with two hipped bays after our roofer lost the plot. His attempt at the lead work on one tile hung bay was laughable. Only he didn’t find it funny, he just threw a massive wobbly when I said I wasn’t happy. I ended up stripping the hanging tile, which was just as well as the felt and batten was terrible too. On the plus side I can now tile hang and cope with most flashing jobs (I’ve done a few since then). Anyway, point being - lead work is definitely an art that is set quite apart from general roofing jobs. Well done both of you!
