Growing to love your videos, thanks so much! I’m putting my epdm roof on next weekend and this is the best video I can find on UA-cam for installation 👍
I work in management for a big builders merchants beginning with T and I've gotta say I would happily have this quality of work in my own home. I understand editing can make anyone look great but, this guy uses the best gear and has clearly used it for years. I love the pre drill pre hammer method
Hi Liam just did my rubber roof on gym for my daughter , watched your videos me joiner also but have picked up few good ideas from yourself 👍 one thing might help with 2 nd part gutter trim is to cut bit approx 12 long and use it to push up rubber first the capping piece is much easier to chap on once the return rubber is up under trim cheers shug
Another great Video for us DIYers! I am just about to build my wife a posh shed and will use EPDM so this is very useful to see the upvc details. In fact I used a Butly Rubber pond liner on a shed I built 15 years ago and it is still going strong, Didn't even glue that one down! I have worked out the main difference between William and myself. He spends 5% of the time thinking and 95% working - I am the opposite ! lol

You make it look so easy William , Great video , thank you .
If you don't have biceps like William or hands like mallets you might struggle with the two part gutter trim - I did. I got it in by pushing up from below and using a rubber mallet. Thanks William, great vid as usual.
Had an apex roof shed with rubber roof membrane installed but the fitters never used any adhesive, when I asked why, they said they now dont glue rubber roofs as the adhesive doesn't work, but I think thats bull and believe it should be glued down, so am now querying this with the company..btw, good video thanks..
Love it mate, can see your passionate about providing a quality job and having a good name. 2 Q’s do the sides not need guttering and also do yo7 U not create the pitch with furrings? Thanks mate
Excellent video! Really informative and clear. Quick question. I’m creating a balcony area and wanted ask if Epdm rubber would’ve a good idea as we will be walking on it? I also may wanted add decking to it obviously not nailing into the roof but a floating timber frame sitting on top with deck boards on that? What would you say?
Hi William, great job again. Just wanted to check something, the first sterling board joint you showed was inbetween the two roof joist. Just double checking if that is ok to do. Thanks.
Course it is mate, once it’s glued, it’s a 5x3 osb roof board! It’s never failed yet, and I’m only 12 stone, but one of the guys closer to 15, not a squeak 💪
@@thegardenroomguru You dont really need to Glue the OSB3 board, I only glue mine when its to be walked on. Good channel mate. Where do you get all your fascias from?
Hi there, just after some advice on the rubber itself. What do you do when you get a large crease in it that won’t brush out? I’ve just done a 7m x 3.5m on my garage roof today and it had one from when it was folded. The only solution I had was to put weight on it overnight. Fingers crossed for tomorrow. This is the second roof I’ve done following your system so I know it won’t be the last so want to be prepared for the next. 🤣🤣
I wonder how well this rubber stands up to a cats claws.....i know the very thick shed felt i use seems cat proof, but i really dunno about this thin rubber.
Is it better to use the tongue and grooved steerling boards rather than using the bigger 8 by 4 foot boards that wont be tongue and grooved but less joints snd faster to put down?
It’s messy and if you slip, that roller is going to roll itself right down the fascia, past experience tells me 🤦🏻♂️backs like the rest of me, MOT is run out and held together with tape
hi mate, really good work as ever! do these garden rooms need plannkng permission? and how do you work out timber sizes and lintels? structural engineer or just experience? be interested to know as im looking into one cheers!
william griffin yeah the quality you produce it amazing! so you dont use a structural engineer? as i said only asking as im looking into one so just wandering really
Great video, very informative. Can I ask, in your builds, is there a reason you use aluminium bifold doors over UPVC, is it for expansion purposes with it being timber frame?
great video,been watching a few as doing my own build,where do youget your upvc especially those edge trims with slotted holes,cant find anywhere? cheers dave
Thanks for this mate, can anyone help me, the problem I have is the extension has a gas flue pipe coming out off centre, you say the leave it rolled out to clematis or stretch, how do I get it smooth amd get the bubbles out around the flue pipe before I relay the pipe boot, thus us going to be my first attempt at this amd I have to get the old stuff of the roof first also my extension is attached to next door neighbours that he has felt on so how to I join it over or under his roof, sorry for all the questions and don't slaughter me lol
great job easy to follow,,only thing i would do differently is to use a long handle in your roller, sooooo much easier,,trust me a decorator of forty years😋
I think this is a great video. You show everything your up against while doing this project. Thank you and I love how clean this system looks when finished. Where can I buy the trim for the edges you used?
Is the finished size on the 4x2 CLS timber actually 100x50mm or is it 89x38mm. I’m Looking to use both PIR insulation boards & acoustic Rockwool Slab in the walls. Keep up the good work.Thanks
Part of the CLS standard is that it is planed all round from the stock size, 4x2 ends up as 89x38 like you say - whilst you can squash rockwool a bit (no idea if that harms the sound deadening qualities), I doubt you'll get 100mm batts in there without some effort.
Not a roof question but I've used 150mm x 50mm timber floor joists on a 4.2x 4.2m area, I've spaced them at 600mm apart, is that too far apart? I've placed plenty of noggins between them in the hope that stops any sagging with the flooring 🤞
Ring northern building plastics, they do more then rubber 4 roofs, say I recommend you and you’ll get your 10% off, there two part gutter trim is the best 👍🏼
my roof needs 7m x 7m EPDM rubber but struggling to get it that size, does anyone know if it can be 2 x 3.5m or if not does anyone know where I can purchase it?
I think if u overlap it going with the run like shingles ul be fine but ul want to overlap it by about half a metre to be safe. I’m not an expert mind u
Just started watching your channel & it’s very good! 1. You are not shouting 2. You are not fat, you are a normal build for a bloke 3. It’s nice to see someone who knows exactly what he’s doing! A lot of people don’t realise that proper tradesmen work at quite a rate!!! Good work
As a diy'er really enjoying these informative videos. I may not be a builder buts its all helping me think about the steps in my build so greatly appreciated. All the internet haters can hate, they will never get their soft skinned office hands dirty anyways.
The reason for contact adhesive round the edge is because that's the most stressful area of the roof and even thought trim nails it in place you still end up with bubbles around the edges after 12 month or so.. seen it plenty of times
Great work - I learnt a lot! Brilliant to see a young girl getting stuck in to the manual work too - hope she finds more sensible things than tattoos to spend her earnings on. Youth!
Most of this has been done correctly but it does need contact adhesive 150mm around the perimeter it stops lifting as the rubber shrinks. You also said it should be 100mm of contact adhesive instead of 150mm this is not correct. It also looks much better if the corners are glued as per manufacturers guide lines. These corners can easily break driving a poly pin through. Always best to give all the manufacturer’s advice before putting this on here. Just saying 👌
Great job again I love these builds. My apologies if you have covered this on previous videos. I understand the front over hang is 300mm as you use the 300mm soffit board but what size are the sides and back overhang mate? Cheers
Very nice tutorial, shows how quality workmanship goes into theses buildings. Thanks for the content.
Brill work. I'm relatively new to the roofing business. I can appreciate your expertise. I am glad to see I'm doing just like you. Cheers
I like the length of this video, really nice how you went into a lot more detail on the roof!

pmsl, it can be a real arse to get in can't it, ive fit loads now and in the colder months, im bloody cursing it I can tell you
Will be following this when I do my roof in a couple of weeks. Thanks for making it.
Amazing amount of info mate. You make it look so easy
Thank you, really useful tutorial. Please can someone tell me the best place to buy these soffit and fascia boards? And also the edge trims? Thanks
Great job, just the right amount of detail also ! Thanks and all the best to you all.
Top job. Did my roof last week its not rocket science to put em on !!!
Great job one little suggestion try a decorating pole when applying glue so much easier both physically and more importantly on the old back
Good point
Great job by a top tradesman

Gd video. But why do you not use a pole with your roller. Will save back??
Hi Liam, love the garden room, maybe I missed it on the video, are you using 6x2. Thanks
5x2 in the roof
Thanks
Amazing insight and great details shared there Liam. Thanks. Where do you get the 2 part gutter trim from?
Gap plastics or Eurocell
What’s the easiest and cheapest way to put a deck over this type of flat rubber roof?
Love it mate, can see your passionate about providing a quality job and having a good name. 2 Q’s do the sides not need guttering and also do yo7
U not create the pitch with furrings? Thanks mate
Hi I would like to use the same gutter as you on my roof, please can you tell me who make or supplies it
Great and enjoyable video, new to this channel liam Informative
Excellent video......very informative. Neat job.👏👏👏
Wow, exciting. I bet the rock couldn't do that. Couple times triggered my vertigo. Wish you were in vegas and could redo my roof.
Im getting up close now to 2.5meter flat garage roof, when you put the fixings on for a rubber roof how much higher does it take the roof
Have any recommendations for trimming it in the US? I am having hard time finding the trim you used.
Excellent video! Really informative and clear.

Northern building plastics atm

Top job, great video to help me with mine today.
How long did that take?
Will could you do a little video on the detailing and setting out of the piers
Would rollering the adhesive on with a roller and pole maybe save your back a bit? Good job, now subbed :)
It’s messy and if you slip, that roller is going to roll itself right down the fascia, past experience tells me 🤦🏻♂️backs like the rest of me, MOT is run out and held together with tape

No planning required in 99% of builds
Over engineering every time, provides a good build
william griffin yeah the quality you produce it amazing! so you dont use a structural engineer? as i said only asking as im looking into one so just wandering really
Nice one. When applying the adhesive why not use a roller pole extension to save your back.
if you slip and roll over the face of the fascia, it won't come off, its a back breaker but safer
Great video, very informative. Can I ask, in your builds, is there a reason you use aluminium bifold doors over UPVC, is it for expansion purposes with it being timber frame?

Hi , flat roof but still need some drop isn't ? Can someone please tell me what would be roof slope for 3.5m projection canopy?
Minimum is 1:80 which means 1mm of fall for every 80mm
Is the purpose of the sofit to cap off the void??
Hi mate what is name of these trims
Nicely done 👍👍
Lovely job!
Some one quoted me £2200 to put this type of roof size is 12 feet lenght and 8 feet width is that good price mate?
Is that to build the roof too

I use tanalised C24 4x2 planed all 4 sides ends up at 95x47
All building gaffers who I’ve worked for tell you to do something and you can never hear or understand them. This guys a one off.
Great video, where do you get these roof trims and soffits ??
Northern building plastics
The roof looks completely flat? Why isn't there firrings on top of the joists? Where is the fall?
There’s a 75mm fall on it, I stopped using furrings as they were always cut crap, front wall is higher than vabk
@@thegardenroomguru so is the internal ceiling slopped?
Yes mate, gives you max head height, only noticeable if tv is level on that wall
Nice job dude.
Not a roof question but I've used 150mm x 50mm timber floor joists on a 4.2x 4.2m area, I've spaced them at 600mm apart, is that too far apart? I've placed plenty of noggins between them in the hope that stops any sagging with the flooring 🤞
What thickness is floor mate?
@@thegardenroomguru I'm planing on using the 22mm osb board you use with flooring to go over that at 12-15mm roughly.
@@thegardenroomguru do you think the 22mm osb would be ok? Or do I bite the bullet and add extra joists in to bring it closer in?
