Thank you for showing the cuts for the abutment over and undercloak, the "upside-down weld" in the corner is where I fall to pieces, your videos have been more helpful than my actual basic Lead course so thank you for making them, your end product is always spot on. 💪
Amazing seeing how it all works what a finish excellent workmanship well done....Have seen leadwork go in over many years on various jobs but never had the chance to watch someone put it all together like you have done been to busy doing my own work (as you do on sites). There was an old lead worker making crows feet in lead (think that is what you call them) for dormers long time ago if I remember correctly he said milk was good for you if you are working with lead (not sure if I have that right).
Thank you for watching the vid and taking the time to comment. I’m not sure about the milk to be honest. I think vitamin c definitely helps to reduce the amount of lead in your system. We have to be checked once a year to make sure we are within the safe limit.
Proper stuff! Really mint and good on the eye. Are the wood rolls a preference or is it also possible with welds on the top surface? Here in the Netherlands work like this would mostly be done in zinc, but the way you British utilize lead instead really fascinates me. You can get way neater results I reckon
Thank you. Yes the wood rolls are essential on the flat area. You wouldn’t be able to do welts as they would me taking a large amount of water and get overwhelmed.
@@slbleadworks im a metal roofer from Sydney Australia we just work with colorbond products sheeting,cladding,flashing work etc. We had a few English guys working for the same company i worked for years ago. They did all the lead and copper work so I can appreciate the work your doing. Gotta say you do it much better. 😏 Keep up the good work geezer.
Excellent explanation and beautiful work as usual Stuart ... I have a very important question for u ..... Wot station do u listen to in that big bassy dewalt radio u have there ...?👍😂
Don't put me in the safety sticklers but what do you think about the hearing protection, that hammering feels terrible in my headphones half a world away, wont it cause any issue long term, you reckon? Also 12:30 is a great example why the hard hat is a must on site (which we don't see you wearing in any other videos) In spite of all of that, great work Stuart, as usual. Question - do you just use plain nails with copper washer when fixing flashing to the wall?
I probably should wear ear defenders. Some jobs are strict on health and safety and will Insist on all ppe. And others are a lot more relaxed. But on this one I was defiantly glad I had my hard hat on. When I’m fixing flashing to a wall I will always chase it into a joint. Even if it’s going to be rendered. For fixing lead bay etc I use 25 mm copper ring shanked nails.
What gauge copper do you use? Why don’t you boss your rolls at the back, I can understand the under cloak being welded but why don’t you boss the over cloak at the back of the roll ? Is it that your relying on the cover flashing covering the weld? But you have a lot of weld on show.🤔
I’m not sure offhand it’s just the general copper fixing strip. I think it might be 0.4mm. But don’t quote me on that. I generally always weld the back of the rolls. I find this method much quicker for me. And I don’t think it matters having the weld on display. This is common practise.
Fare play, im old school, I’ve work all over the place, cathedral’s, castle’s, untold churches, Manor House’s, clock towers, x-Ray rooms. Back then we did not have RUclips to show people on what we could do. Like I said fare play to you for doing this, it’s hard work and it does catch up with you in later life, trust me. It’s good to see lead work still goes on. Good on you. Ps. I would love to see some upside welding, can you do it?
@@stanleytomkins1369 I bet I could learn a thing or too from you. Are you on Instagram. I’d love to see some of your work. I have done upside down welding before. But I must admit I didn’t find it easy at all. Are you retired now ?.

Hey mate me again with another question is that copper clouts and a square of copper holding The up stand to the brickwork
So I’ve drilled holes and fixed using red plugs and copper ring shanked nails. I cut squares of copper to act as a washer
@@slbleadworks cool cheers mate

Hi, works amazing!! How much would something like this cost?
Thank you. For the lead side of things you wouldn’t see much change out of a couple of grand.
@@slbleadworks is that parts and Labour?
@@jaberchowdhury1094 yes
@@slbleadworks cheers buddy.... looking forward to future videos!!
the way you say Cornice, doesn't sit right to me :D great work though.
Thank you
What are you charger for this ?
I can’t remember how many days this took. But lead is so expensive right now so I would imagine it was around 3k
