I hadn't watched it till the end before I commented, you should have washed the dust out before you fixed it, mortar doesn't stick to dust for to long, not a dig just advice. Your good thought.
I dont like grinding to far when i use lead sheet sealant. I find it easier to mark the grind line when you lay the lead up the roof. The lab can cut and bend it while im grinding
I am trying to repair my flat roof. I have applied the adhesive to the roof. When I lay felt onto the adhesive do I have to peel off the thin plastic sheet from the felt first? Absolute beginner here😮😮.
@@pauljamieconstruction1871 Paul ,Thanks for your reply . I have a water leak along the flashing it's a bit of a nightmare . . Should've tackled it in better weather . I'm going to get a soaker ,as the bottom flash isn't doing it's Job. Hopefully it'll be successful.. I'm not a roofer ,as you've most probably guessed by now .
@@pauljamieconstruction1871 yes ,it's the same more or less than the roof you were on .The tiles clay & are 10 1/2 inch x 6 1/2 inch . .I don't know ,if they'll sit on top of a soaker. .
“ I know, lets make the job as difficult as possible “ !!!!!! Would you get a bricklayer to lay bricks at that height going up and down a fucking ladder!!! No doubt your gaffer said you don’t need scaffold. Ha !
@@pauljamieconstruction1871 Spot on pal, been there a few times myself and retired now. Got to say though your work is great and nice to see a bit of pride took in the job as well just getting on with it. I bought a small amount of scaffolding and put it up myself just for that situation ! Crack on regardless chaps.
@@pauljamieconstruction1871 i was explaining how you can see its 1.5m by using the set square as a guide when its laid down while you were marking out on the back of your truck
I don't think your good enough to give anybody any advice! You always always carry lead up on a board there's plenty of stuff lying around on that scruffy site pf yours . Individual flashings are three times better and we always fixed ours in with a concave form to fill the joont It was for English Heritage though!? 5/ 10 kid
When I do my step flashing always have marker pens 2 different cut lines 1 for the cut and 1 for the fold lines I have done it couple times cut on the fold line lol
@@pauljamieconstruction1871 no I have never cut wrong with the markers before I use to mark it with nail or something and that’s when I have cut on the fold line
@@pauljamieconstruction1871 yeah I don’t have any issues now and definitely not trying to tell you how to do it I’m just saying that’s they way I always do it. I want to do a lead welding course that’s my next goal with leadwork
Gave me the confidence to complete my DIY roof project at home, thanks.
Good man well done you. How did the flashing come out
Nice tutorial...
Carfy on
Thank you Peter for taking the time to write a comment.
Loads of different skills. Top man!
Thanks again geezer
Very good work. Thanks

Thanks 4 video
Grat lead working, because I didn't know how to do it I used to just cut smaller pieces, I sure you know what I mean.
And wear cloves.
Hi yes i no what u mean. That must of took ages
well done boys
Thankyou
Wow
Should the wall that the roof butts up to have stepped cavity trays in?

Thanks for your comment. We use lead sheet sealant not mortar. It miles better
Grind before tiling,water line min 2 inches before marking steps ,but not a bad job 8/10
😂😂 cheers simon Cowell 👍🏼
Is it OK to use soakers under a small single overlap interlocking tile ?
You need to step and cover flashing or a secret gutter.
When you have felt and batten the roof, why didn't you cut the chase then for the leadwork, now you have mess over the plain tiles

Yes peal back 500mm. Get that stuck, then roll it back over the bit you stuck and remove the film as you roll out.
@@pauljamieconstruction1871 Thanks Paul 😊
Has lead flashing got to be stepped.. Can it be a straight piece ,if it's not going into brick work.
Hi Richard, on render just mark your height top and bottom, ping a line or draw with pencil, we use 2 blades in a 4" grinder

...as the roof you were on ,I meant to say
You should only mark lead with lead and it should never be longer than 1.5 metres
Thanks for your comment. This is 1.5m fyi.
@@pauljamieconstruction1871 sorry it looked longer 👌
@@Sitdown570 I bought a 3m roll and cut it in half . 1 on each side. And was still short 🙈
@@pauljamieconstruction1871 did that mean another journey back for more lead 😫😫😫
@@Sitdown570 absolutely. Had a second visit

What a wonderfull comment thank you. Unfortunately sometimes people dont supply a scaffold, so instead of moaning we just get it done

Chase the walls first
its hard to tell where to stop the chase without tiles on my brother
Cowboys
How is this?
?
Pukka
Looks a lot longer than meter and half matey lead shouldn’t be over 1.5m
Thanks for your comment, i used to be a lead worker when i first started, its defo 1.5 bro 👍🏼
Count the tiles courses . You should no they are 100mm
The length of the set square is 300 , it looks fairly close to 5 of those 7:41

What on earth are you talking about. I carried the lead in the air, no one carries it on a board
Can’t you people make a tutorial with out using filthy language? Seems not.
Sorry Patrick.

I used to use a marker pen for lead flat roofs as you can weld it. Can you not see the pen marks on the lead once finished
@@pauljamieconstruction1871 no I have never cut wrong with the markers before I use to mark it with nail or something and that’s when I have cut on the fold line
@James1993.. once youve done miles of step flashing it becomes second nature
