Thank you Kevin. I’m hopefully going to be doing a similar roof to this soon. So I’m thinking about leaving the camera setup to show more of the workings. I definitely would like to gain more subscribers.
Hello again Stuart just completed module 2 on the lsta intermediate leadwork course my welds are slowly getting better ! Done a catch pit and cornice…this looks amazing as always hope your good mate
@@slbleadworks I’ve got to do 2 more modules it’s an amazing course really helped with the welding! I’d like to to do the advanced after where you get to do casting and hopper heads
@@markwood6763 Yeah it's an expensive course, I'm looking at paying myself like I did with the basics course but it's the time off work and staying away that adds to the expense. Good luck to you mate I'm very envious 🤙
Lovely finish and very thoughtful setting out. Years ago I used to try and keep those welts open using a bolster and welting pliers. Now I carry some folded over pieces of neoprene rubber 3 thicknesses thick which have the advantage over lead of staying flat ready for the next bend. I just pop them back in my lead bag with the ringshanks and halls clips
Thank you. Well I have another 2 of these roofs to do. So although it’s similar I might try and show more of the workings and I’ll show those parts mentioned.
Fantastic work as always 👏 Always wondered about cornice details and the way to set up the welts so that they aren't beating in to position, do you use the same method for capping coping stones?
Stu. Excellent work as always, I really enjoy watching your work and admire the consideration that you apply to the layout of the job. May I ask your advice please. I have a small bay window flat roof 2.3 metres wide x only 300mm deep, the existing lead was fitted 25yrs ago by the window fitters using silicone !!!! to seal flat joints in the lead sheet .The lead has now started to move so I would like to replace it before it starts to leak. I want to do the job properly. As the width is 2.3 m it will need at lest one join, with only 300mm depth front to back which would be best a wood roll or welted join. Your trusted advice would be very much appreciated. (ps I can weld)
Thank you I’m glad you like the vids. Wow is the lead just flat lapped and joined with mastic ?. I’m amazed this hasn’t let water in yet. I would probably put a wood roll in the middle.
@@slbleadworks Stu. Thanks very much for your advice its very much appreciated. Yes the lead is just flat lapped join with silicone in between, hence the need to do a proper installation. Thank you again for responding. Keep up you excellent work and thank you for taking the time to video.
love the work, I really believe you'd get more subs if you showed the process.

Thank you mate.
Glad to hear your doing well on your course and your welds are improving.
Have you many more modules to do ?

@@markwood6763 lucky man! I cannot get my employer to fund mine 😞
I had to pay for it I’m self employed…currently about 4K down but all worth it

Always top class work. A pleasure to watch. Keep up the good work 👏
Thank you. And thank you for taking the time to comment.
Awesome work as usual mate 👌
Thank you. And thank you for commenting.
Those welds Stu are 👌 the whole job is perfect the customer must be buzzing 👊
Thank you. I think the customer just wants me to hurry up and get the rest done 🤦🏻♂️😂.

That’s a good idea. I might have to try to get some of that. The lead ones are good. But as you say you have to keep straightening them back out.
@@slbleadworks you can get EPDM offcuts from most roofing merchants
Looks brilliant 👍
Thank you
Beautiful as usual mate
Thank you
Stunning bit of leadwork there mate. 👌
Thank you
Videos look great and the work is awesome, could we have more detail in how you welt and do corners rather than finished look. 👍🏼
Thank you.

Quality lead perfection 👍🏻
Thank you
Perfect mate
Thank you
💚 Bonne chance et succès continu, si Dieu le veut 💚
Bonne chance et succès, si Dieu le veut 👍🌸 Super vidéo
I would like to learn how to do this, it looks awesome
Thank you. Are you in the trade yourself ?
@@slbleadworks no, i can appreciate the craftsmanship though. It’s something id like to learn to do
Fantastic, has fibreglass taken away much work from you guys or there's still a big market for this work .
Thank you. It probably has but I haven’t really noticed. I think certain property’s always require lead. Especially the high end property’s.
Fantastic work as always 👏
Always wondered about cornice details and the way to set up the welts so that they aren't beating in to position, do you use the same method for capping coping stones?
Yes I would do a similar process. You just need to form all the hook welts on the flat, link them all together and then turn down the edges.
