Why not just weld the crack?

Just thought I would check out your video showing how it should really be done, oh wait, just another troll, jog on!!

Hi mate did you reply to me if so I am in Liverpool and have 3 splits in my gutter lead work and yes expansion joints should have been fitted when re-roofed in 80's.

We use small bottles of oxy-acetylene and oxygen we cannot carry anything bigger around the church, you might be able to hire them.

@@paulhawkins6360 I remember the portapack. Compact oxy-acetylene bottles on a trolley.

Mini butane blow torch for soldering, or you can try with one for chefs (cooking department).

Always is, in everything you do to be honest. When I was a teenager I had little patience, things would be rushed, results substandard. Then through my early 20's I began to learn patience and that getting a job done was not a race, by the time I was in my late 20's early 30's I had mastered it and wish I had done so 15 years earlier. It's a lesson very few can teach you, you just need to make your own mistakes. If you have patience and spend more time and money on prep everything will be grand! 2 good examples from my life story so far. In my late teens I decided to help my mum and dad out by fitting a new bathroom suite they had had delivered, I was on summer holidays from Uni and thought it would keep my occupied. They were looking for plumbers and getting quotes so I thought I would surprise them by plumbing it in when they were at work. So I decided that soldered copper looked the best way forward and looked nice and neat so I got all the stuff I needed. I practically burnt the copper I used so much heat, solder running everywhere, joints going black, nothing soldered properly, what a mess. In a temper I threw all the inexpensive copper solder joints back in the bag and took them back to the DIY shop and returned them all for compression fittings at about 5x the cost. Had I just bought a £4 tub of flux and some cleaning stuff and spent about 2 minutes on each joint cleaning and prepping I would have managed, but I was impatient and not prepared to prepare (I also didn't realise the importance - but that was out of refusing to take time to accept that too)! In the end it cost a whole lot more on pipe fittings and looked ugly as compression fittings do. 2nd example: I decided to have a go at spray painting in my late teens - went OK-ish, but had a lot of imperfections, got paint over everything around me, had runs in the paint blah blah. I stepped back and figured, if I had masked properly, prepped and cleaned properly and not been in a rush to batter on loads of paint quickly rather than in lots of passes it would all have worked fine! Eventually painted my classic car with excellent results, a body shop even commenting it looked really good, I spent about 3 weeks on it after work and weekends and everything was immaculate, every single panel was sanded and prepped and cleaned down and the workplace cleaned down, floors washed to remove all the dust, I even used clothes that were lint free and didn't drop fibres onto the surface as I painted etc. It was all in the prep and only took about 60 minutes of spraying time. I reckon on an average door scrape or bumper ding there is about 5-8 minutes of painting the rest is prep and finishing. Car body shop painters should be called "preppers".

David Robinson agree 100%, Im a mature plumbing apprentice, my boss has been plumbing for 40 years, he did a proper 4 year apprenticeship. He’s shown me how to lead burn and create flue flashings. It’s an art, I’ve only done one with his supervision. Now I’m itching to get to work early and practice. Good video guys.

Lead lined gutters should now have Tpren expansion joint..Look up Farington Roofing on facebook.

have look at investing 50 rubs on an L.S.A ( lead sheet association) handbook, fundamental information. know your theory, know your art. ;) once you know your maximums and minimums, handling, cutting, maneuvering, welding , positioning ,securing ,dressing, oiling correctly..... it just becomes Heavy Metal origami :)

Im a Roofer and I did a course in lead burning. I hate to see fibre glass or any shit in a tin being used on lead. I did the course not out of greed and to take work away from plumbers but more to do with plumbers being afraid to access a roof in the first place.

David Robinson not all roofers are too off merchants... im not i was raised better than that. But I do my own lead burning because not all plumbers have the balls to climb onto a roof.

Thank you glad it made you smile lets hope they make a home in the futre.
