2:24 - "Hey Patrick, where have you hidden my marker-pencil? Come on, stop messing around, it was here a moment ago."
We are building a shed and bought this to assist us Does not include any type of blueprints but very helpful to remind you about permits, different ways of doing the foundation or roof ruclips.net/user/postUgkxcLVQopTIucrxiVRQA0khLGQEnDVKCSMG and why they need to be that way, it also includes "pro tips" and lots of pictures and videos Very informative! I also bought it used for 3.18 plus shipping and in "good" condition. It had a little dent on the cover but that was it. Glad I bought it!
Wow - What a lovely neat job. Very impressive
Neat yes, correct no
Lead valleys should have a rolled edge either side
Welt
Nobody does that any more I normally do that up about 600mm from the bottom

Nothing beats proper Welsh slates.
They're fibre cement
Need to a millionaire to buy those
The first two eves course are on at the wrong gauge hence that you are nail two eternits together then why not bring the valley laths closer to each other so you can dress the lead over them to make an upstand, it would be a lot more water tight and the best way when slating a valley in. Use blanks for verges to.
Looks great lads
Well done guys 👌👌👌
AWESOME JOB and Great clean looking roof.....
*looking*
I used to roof this way. Then I discovered slate hooks, no need for nails or copper tags. brilliant. Only nail the verges. Rubber slates and hooks is the future. No broken slates. There is now a gas fired device for fixing the slate hooks. Never though I would see that.! No need for 3/4 under eave slates neither. Use continuous under eaves. 3m long. A good looking secure roof.
U are talking absolute shit mate…
Can you please recommend a brand of the rubber slates. Thanks.

@@ericbstudios9807 Yep. Agree there.
They make it look so easy.
Awesome video, great way of explaining how to put slate on a roof! We would be happy to assist in any future projects supplying your slate!
That is not slate vynel slate is scrap
i`m guessing u wouldnt know the diff between ur azz and a hole in the ground
@5:30......You put a cap on the top and slid them together. But how do you keep rain from entering the gap between them? Caulk would deteriorate. Thanks
First 2 eve course on at wrong gauge.
No worm on the lead valley.
Nailing to tight so slate curl up.
Best synthetic slate? Tapco, Iko, another? Would love to hear more opinions from people that have experience with these products.
This is the synthetics slate, correct? And is there somewhere they mention what sleep they're using for this video because I cannot find it.
The only issue I have is how the lead sheet valley was installed ,why didn't you leave the lead another 3 inches longer on both sides so you could have formed the lead up and over your firing strips on the outside of the valley ?
On tile roofs when you install chimney pans and valley metal you always turn up the outer edges of your metal work to prevent heavy rains from being wind driven under the tile ,I fully understand the true waterproofing system here isn't the slate tiles ,it's the underlayment system ,however it's good roofing pratice to prevent water from entering the tiles any chance you get ,you guys did a good looking job that should meet all warenty requirements easily but think about what I said about " rolling " your valley lead up and on top your strips ,in an area with heavy snow & ice loads having your leads turned up may be what prevents an ice dam from forming underneath your slate and pulling a valley apart ,investment seen it happen .
The valley batten (firing strips?) can't be covered in lead, as that's where the valley slates need to be nailed - lead valleys should only be nailed (with copper or stainless steel) at the top and not on the sides or bottom. There should also be a welt (roll). These guys have done a sub-standard installation by doing the bare minimum.
A battened roofing system would be nearly impossible to have ice dams, as there would be no ice restricting the flow of water on the underlay to the eaves/gutter.
They cut the lead into 1 half metre lengths and then nailed them all together 😂😂😂 welt the lead on the edges all the way up the valley, wear gloves and use a dresser at all times, other than that it’s great 👍👍
@@SocialistChampagne the best way is to have upstand over the laths in a valley, just put the lead half bonded onto the valley laths to give you the other half to nail and while not effecting the lead so it can still contract and expand, but like you say they haven’t even bothered to put a welt on and this is a very poor job and will certainly leak.
i do this on all my valleys but i crimp all my felt into it and dress flat thus creates a perfect weather tight seal forever if dressed correctly
@@putadonkonit2338 what are the black slates like comoared to the blue/black slate. I heard the vlack ones show up alot more mark on it over time. Im near roof level and need to pick one
questions: 1 do those tiles make a lot of noise when it rains? 2. are you using pressure treated wood ? 3. does capillary action pull water upwards underneath the tiles since the surface is so slick?
Any questions please @ me
I’m a roofer who is a professional
@@DirtBikeDocsI’m starting a slate roof next week- reclaimed slate, 45 degree pitch. Never don’t it before- does the first batten which supports the bottom row slates need to be thicker than the other battens ? Im asking this because I’ve noticed that roofs are three slates thick but will only be two slates thick for the first course
А красиво эти панели смотрятся.
Hi. Great video! I use make sculptures out of slate and have put a couple of roofs on but never seen them nailed at the bottom like that. What stops the roof from leaking?
I was thinking the same I dont understand that atall
It’s not nailed at the bottom it’s a copper disc / rivet that sits between the two lower eternits, the eternits have a hole in the centre at the bottom the the rivet goes through then you bend the rivet down, this is so the eternits does not lift due to wind and from curling up from sunlight.
@@gaza19661310 Thanks Garth! I see - thank you.
@@gaza19661310 there is a hole directly above the seam? I understand you don't want the to rattle from wind, but slate curling from the sun?
@@FlymasterFlash yes eternits do curl in sunlight
All the proper nice prep work superb batten work ruined by the worst looking thing you can put on a roof. They look good for first year or so but they do not age very well at all! But my opinion! But looks like a proper job👍👍
This video is a real joy ! With the music turned off.

Lovely job men 👍
Good work 👍

Video showing good job. But ears killing music is really trouble.
damn the "experts" are really chiming in on this video. I'll tell you exactly why. Because that roof looks damn good.
Mate u know fuck all about roofing lol.
@@ambersims7183 😂😂corectamundo my freind 🤙
@@ambersims7183 it’s a leak waiting to happen especially how that valley has been put haha
I am not a roofer or in construction but that roof does look beautiful though. I do see several people making comments about the valley I think it's for the two different roof lines meet. If you don't do that area right there can be leaking which would be horrible for the homeowner and costly for the homeowner. So it sounds like there are things other people would do that might make it works better.
When slating up verge cut a slate and half out of the blanks then double rivet . When doing the eve course cut slate so u get your eve and dummy course from the same slate. The list could go on and on !!!!
i guess Im asking randomly but does anybody know a method to get back into an instagram account??
I stupidly forgot the password. I appreciate any tricks you can offer me!

@Spencer Wells Thanks for your reply. I got to the site on google and Im in the hacking process now.
Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Spencer Wells It did the trick and I now got access to my account again. I'm so happy!
Thanks so much you saved my ass !
@Nicholas Gordon no problem :D
Wow, that's really awesome and amazing..
Lead should go up and over upstanding on side of valley. Torrential rain and snow can be drawn in
I would do that on a low pitch no need there
Dry ridges and verges are the way to go.I used to get £90 per 1000 in my time on the roofing. Get some chainsaw trousers,save a lot of wear and tare on the old legs. Nice neat work,well done.
Красиво смотрится, подойдёт для теплого, сухого климата. Для Москвы не подходит. Влага где нибудь просочится, мороз влагу расширит, цикл за циклом больше. Если герметик, то можно. Дорого. Но красиво. При наличии денег можно. Молодцы.
Nice neat slate job! Battonrd up proper, valley nice and neat. Should of scored a line up the valley to slate to with the cuts. Anoyher thing. Always good to strike vertical line every 3 slates so bonds run in line. Appart from yhose little things its a lovely job. Well done boys!!
What material/product is this? It doesn't look like natural slate.
I have been looking on how to install a slate roof. Some of the videos have small strips of wood to nail the slate on. And others nail straight onto the decking. Why are there small strips of wood to nail on in your video? Thanks
Brilliant job. Thumbs up, I do the valleys exactly the same. If it was a very steep roof I probably wuld curl the lead over but no call to there. Had to laugh one comment on he said the timber wasn't treated.
Are these slates plastic or pvc made?
@@Dailymailnewz neither.
Cement fibre with waterproof coating
Makes no sense.
A steeper roof has less danger of blow up under the slates.
Shallow roofs are way more prone to it.
It's good practise to worm all lead valleys
@@tsunamitube3351 it's the rate of speed the water falls on a steeper roof more likely to shoot under slates on opposite side.
@@tsunamitube3351 you must get a lot of wind were you live buddy
That is not how you set out manufactured slate, he even nails through the second coarse!
And those ridge are the cheapest crap on the market.
Is there a video of the correct way?
@@chrischurch4551 if I showed every one that , I'd be out of a job 🙈
@@iancampbell2295 is it a low skilled job that you can learn by watching a RUclips clip?
@@Ireland1 no but if you have breasts and a bikini it seems you can make a fortune on RUclips!
Are you nailing the overlap of the lead valley?!
The head lap is always nailed its covered and then won't go anywhere
Muy Bien excelente trabajo
Looks like a synthetic type slate. I thought it was interesting to watch. Probably in Europe somewhere. But cool to see
I was thinking the same thing when it looked like they were being cut with snips of some sort ?
Of course they are not real slates ! Real slates cost a fortune. These are ´eternit´ type. Cheap crap.Nobody can afford to roof with genuine slate apart from those with access to public funds. Then it is no problem.Easy to spend taxpayer money. When you´ve used it all just screw the poor taxpayer for more.Simple.
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternit
Main mistake of many is the lead Valley should be done first and then the membrane. One it is slated the Membrane should be trimmed off. This means if theres any slate problems the valley wont leak.
??
Very nice roof
How do you work the slates up and over the valley to start the other side?
looks like galvanized nails used here,? as the norm is aluminium nails or copper nails to be used on slates to allow for easy ripping out if repairs needed or pipes needed to be fitted at later date.
Tony Donovan... copper nails are used because they don’t rust, where as aluminium does.. ie. if the head of the nail rusted off the slate would slip out.
Very beautiful and professional ! Thanks
Диванмастер подкорректируют )) как не старайся😂
Where can I buy it?
I am wondering am I allowed to do this myself in the UK, or do I need
any kind of permission from the local council? I do have experience in
re-roofing, as I was working in construction abroad. Also, am I allowed
to put up a scaffolding myself, or does it need to be by a firm? Great
video and every help is appreciated, thank you
You don’t need any tickets to carry out roofing work. A lot of rough cowboys take advantage of that and do shitty jobs. Means us proper roofers have to come in and clean up after them.
Scaffolders need certificates and courses to be able to do any scaffold work i believe
@@jvstin9959 What a "proper" roofer is coming here for then?

Absolutnie do bani robota, mam tak samo zrobiony dach i jaki kolwiek przeciek pod dachówkę kończy się zalaniem domu. Problemem tutaj jest położenie łat w poprzek od razu na membranę co zatrzymuje spływająca wodę, powinny być najpierw łaty wzdłuż krokwi dachowych. Nie polecam takich "fachowców"
What type of tile is this? Sorry my ignorance.
Is it a viable alternative for
re-roofing the old styled tiles
on wooden frame, without
replacing the wooden frame,
the house being more than
sixty years old ?
Where can get this slates?
How do u get the pins in right place before other tile goes on
did he really just nail through the two layers of lead
Yep I saw that..top nail only and cover...these youngsters don't know
Don't think it's lead
i think the lead-like material is as fake and junky as the so called slate tiles.... pure crap/garbage
What material is that?
Nice job mate don’t like the lead valleys with no welt
What's the pin in the lap for never had that in the slate I installed only time we had a copper pin was hurricane asbestos shingles
It’s a copper disc/ rivet to stop the eternits lifting in the wind and from curling up from sunlight.
What about the needles ,do they don't get rusted ?????
Pmsl queue the expert roofers that are better educated than all the brit roofers!
jay71512 hh
What is it made of ?
As being a roofer for over thirty years I have never seen anyone put an exposed nail through a panel even if it is a synthetic slate and the corners are recommended by manufacturers speciation to bend the corners down before installation. Just saying from a professional perspective.
Does not make sense.
Before to start with tail istallation, normally we are goin to install the gutters
Nailing them to tight that’s why you have to beat the crap out of the top of them. And that’s what Leeds to the white residue that runs down the roof when things settle.
Fantástico....saudações do Brasil.
Using a bit of batten as a dresser and no welt on the lead... definitely not roofers, just builders having a go at roofing.
Nice👍👍
Gracias
Esos pinches plasticos estan chidos!. Como se llama el material??
I always thought that there was slate and a halves available for running up a verge....?
Double slate that you cut down to a slate and half
un important
There is
mike gerrard but as I see you don't have to use them... Thank you
Plus never let the slate as it could slide down the roof
parabéns a todos
у нас ендовые покупают готовыми.
Не думал, что в цивилизованных странах используют гвозди. Это не надежно. Доска имеет свойство рассыхаться.
Where could i get those ridge pieces, do you know the name of them please?
Since when did we start slating with a joiners hammer ?, plus that felt should be on top of the lead otherwise water will just run under the valley boards and straight into the house
Eternits are actually one of my favourites to slate in and in my opinion are probably harder to learn and more easy to fuck up big style compared to natural slate if you haven’t a clue what your doing, and will be honest the roof in this demo is at a poor standard, not the worst though as have seen some that have not been riveted or gauged properly.
Are them two blokes really roofers no lap bags. leader around the chimney how are tha going to put soakers in with lead already there
Good
What type of slate is that?
Why are there nails on the exposed lower edges of the tile?
Surely that leaves them open for water ingress and nail rusting. Normally on slate roofs, you only nail under the area covered by the next tier of slates.
its a copper rivet, to hold the slate in place. it sits between each slate and there is no nail hole there. These are cement fibre slate, not real slate and thats how this system works.
How much American dollar would it do a 1600 square foot house
Who is the manufacturer of this material? It looks like some kind of composite.
David A they’re cement fibre
Good ol' Estwing hammers
Что за материал ?
That first course is WAY too tight, these thin man made slates will eventually fail if they are hammered into a bend like that.
that is what the paper is for dont you know anything ha ha. They better have good paper.
Mike F are you serious about " Paper " , they could have installed those slate directly over the firing strips and the building wouldn't leak due to the corrugated roof decking by itself ,then they installed a self sealing adhesive backed Ice & water shield membrane over the entire roof deck before installing their firing strips ,then a lead sheet valley ,this job doesn't have any paper .
I believe you, its obvious a journeyman roofer could easily pick this ridiculous roof apart.. I'm not a roofer and I could see a windy day would blow thos roof right off, hopefully cindy and Bobby aren't playing near it those tiles are like flying razor blades
Por las cabezas de las puntas entra agua seguro
In America they just fix it with a caulking gun and some silicone, cheap shingles and big prices.
Top of the slate should be half way on the batten. That lead should have welted sides or rebated in / water check. Set eave course up wrong
valley should of had a welt on it, eve tile at the bottom left of valley is off bond, should of used slate n halfs on the verge
А где контррейка? вентиляционный зазор? конденсат как будет скатываться, по обрешетке?

Trainers while Roofing. Enough said.
boneav83 boots make it harder to walk-on the roof and it’s easier for you do damage the roof while fitting it.
Which type of slate is that?? I'm used to seeing rugged-finish, faded-textured, variably-coloured slates. whereas these are so neat-cut, uniformly-textured slates. Can anyone help me out?
Manufactured Slate
Is this job dangerous?
I'm in Clare. How much would a roof like this cost labour plus materials.
Thanks conor
5000 yin
what material is it because it does not look like slate
Could some onde please make 3 metres sheets in the same partern and Savé this guys só much work work work
What is the nail in bottom of slate for
Jeff Brosky they’re called copper disc rivets. They prevent the slates from bowing and stop the wind from getting under and moving the slate ect.
So not real slate if your using copper rights to keep slate from bowing I have installed hundreds of squares of real slate from government buildings to church's and barns
Jeff Brosky yeah, they’re not natural slates they are cement fibre ones
Here we go ALL THE SUNDAY QUARTERBACKS AGAIN
Jerk Of All Trades eave course too high ,your having to nail through the top of the eave
Marley Eternit slates they are.
