I hope Lewis has an apprentice looking over his shoulder - we need more people like him
Lewis is a real artist. The flashings look incredible.
A thing of beauty
I’ve never seen a more beautiful roof
WOW, WOW, WOW, the lead work carried out by Lewis is incredible - he is not a builder, the man is an artist!
A Lead Artisan
a man who takes pride in his job.
work of art that leadwork
What a craftsman Lewis is, it looks terrific.
Lewis is great for guiding you, many tradesmen wouldnt.
So glad you have this record for the kids to watch when they are older- beautiful.
Wow... smooth as the icing on a wedding cake. Rare skills.
That mans work is art. Beautiful.
From someone who spent a lot of my time as a Plumber doing lead work, that job looks fantastic.👍
WOW,...Lewis really is the master of his craft.I hope he is passing on his skills and knowledge to other people.
One word, ‘Excellent.’
yup that is top notch lead work
First class!
Quality workmanship 👌👍
That’s great work in the US that would be a steel ridge cap and a lot of silicone and 20 years later your doing it again I’m glad there’s still guys doing it the old way!👍👍
It’s so great to watch a true craftsman at work. Lovely job. Thank You for sharing.
A true work of art. Beautiful and totally functional. Wow.
That lead work really is a piece of work. 🤩
What a superb bit of work!
NEAT & TIDY LEAD WORK.. ..
A master craftsman for certain!
As one who has done this work, all I can say is wow!!
the conscious work we do today echoes in eternity.
Leadworking scills are phenomenal.
Skills
Beautiful looking roof!
What an absolute craftsman. Beautiful work.
Defo got your moneys worth with him. Looks spot on!
Stunning work.
Quality, what a craftsman.
I agree. He made it look so easy. Beautiful work
Absolutely stunning craftsmanship. No wonder Lewis is in such high demand.👍
Great to see a Master at work, but cannot take from the great job you did on the entire roof, looking forward to the scaffolding coming down
Been in the job 25 years.
Incredible work
Never seen a job as good
Period
That's great to have such a quality tradesman leading you along on those tricky flashings. It's advice like this that leads to hefty tips in his Christmas card!!
When a functional piece of waterproofing turns into a work of art....
Good on you, Lewis. It's lovely to watch a craftsman at work. 🙏🏻
The very best diy’er knows when to ask for help...it’s a strength not a weakness, plus you get to learn faster and avoid any mistakes. Here’s the thing, you did a great job on the roof Tim. It’s something to be well proud of. 😎👍✅
@Bob Charlie and that’s the truth 👌
Wow that is so cool and beautiful! 👌
Lewis makes all of this and the lead burning in particular look so easy. Lead burning up an incline is one of the most difficult things I have ever tried to do and something that I never mastered. Thanks for sharing this.
Always great to see someone who is willing to teach and pass on knowledge and experience. Great stuff.
Much Respect to my fellow craftsman, happy new year to you and your family!! Best wishes Robin
That vertical weld on the step flashing is spot on, and makes all the difference 👍🏻👍🏻
Really does, absolute master of his craft.
What a skill. Lovely work.
*No lead was harmed in the making of this video.
That's top workmanship right there. Class
That’s a really work of art
Amazing job done by Lewis. Well done mate
Amazing! I bet that took Lewis hours, real craftmanship
What an incredible job.....It's so good to see a true professional at work.
Looks fantastic, Lewis is certainly an artist.
stunning!
Amazing skills! It looks stunning!
Cracking lead job ,, heat and patients
Really neat
Nice work from you both matey.
Here in Australia we use cheap tin and Pop rivets and silicon it’s horrendous workmanship this is amazing
Love leadwork done properly looks amazing so much better then the cheaper options
Wow, that is handcrafted beauty Lewis!
So many have said it already but can't not comment. Lewis' work is something else. Fantastic craftsmanship and kudos to him for passing on some skills to you ( and for coming to tidy things up after you'd had a go 😜)
what a great job , you should be extremely proud of it .
Wow. Brilliant work on the roof. Such skill! 💎💎💎
Top work Lewis.
Your work looks first class and that welding looks amazing 👏👏

Great lead work skills

Tip top Craftsman skill , Respect , love the welds ,Its a skill you got it or not , Well Done, Nice to see a young lad doing Superb work .
Watching Lewis Lead Welding and burning I started wondering if I could still do that. Then I thought could you blazes you daft old sod. Fabulous job, a real work of art and a joy to watch. Happy New Year Tim to you and yours. Regards Jim
I hear you mate , Used to do it years ago and wipe old lead water joints with tallow .. lol
@@stevemnmeep2296 hate the expression "but me too " think my wiping cloth is calling me ! "
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!
I've found Instagram a great help in finding quality trades people, theres some epic accounts out there for all sorts of trades.
Been waiting for this, happy new year.
Very impressive
Daring perfection👍
Well done 🎩 off you have done a great job on the roof👍🏻great to see the work Lewis done true craftsmanship 👏👍🏻and the right decision to get him involved for the lead work. Happy new year to you and your family 🏴
My goodness this is beautiful work!
Amazing!
That is beautiful. Wow.
talented guy
Tremendous looking work there.
Why do I find lead and copper work so satisfying? 😍
Brilliant work! Some people say lead is nasty stuff. I say, if you don't try to eat it , it's beautiful stuff. No modern replacement. Lewis' work is second to none. You are not far behind! Keep it up! and Thanks!!! Happy New Year!!
Lewis is a real craftsman with the leading. And your montage of him doing the work was wonderful.
Happy NewYear🌠🎶🥳
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!
Beautiful job, well done.
Keep up the good work.
Really brilliant leadwork 👍
Happy New Year to everyone 🎈
