Great video that young lad is getting a wealth of knowledge from you he's very lucky ,I love the way you explain things and try to keep it simple enough for everyone, your a credit to carpentry
Bloody lovely of you to step in and help him out! I was really upset for him when he came back to his house like that. Nice one, and he now has the certainty it's been done absolutely perfectly.
That's got to be the absolute, cutest 4 hipped roof I've ever seen Robin🤩You and Ed made a cracking job of that👊It was also interesting seeing how well balanced and centered Robin looked using a blade right saw whilst doing the jack rafter compound cuts, especially considering how many people say that blade left saws are better for line of sight and body position🤔 Great video👍
@@ukconstruction All that has to happen now is for Edward to talk you into shelving that old Estwing sledge and jumping on board for the big win with a nice new Titanium timber handled Stiletto, 👍😁🔨🔨🇮🇪
Great seeing you on another channel I follow. You always seem so chilled and relaxed. What hit me was the skill, speed and efficiency of how you work. On your channel you always come across as if you’ve got loads of time. A real eye opener! 👍😊
Proper job! I know that will give Keith such a huge peace of mind that the work has been done properly with thought and skill, & has taken care of any possible planning permission requirement concern by being under the existing roof height 👍 Well done both
I learned English when I was born... I know all the words you have used... I am just not too certain that it is English you are speaking! 😂😆😆🤣🤣🤣 Great video!
Cracking job, completed using knowledge and understanding, planning of the job, and superb craft skills to carry it out. Also note the cat like movements across the open joists, spacial awareness and common sense. If this operation was being done at my work, we would have used more paper printing off the risk assessments and method statements than you used to build the roof!!
When I left school I wish I did roofing from the offset. I am a qualified truck mechanic by trade and did that for 6yrs then down tools and went into building. It’s surprising though the stuff I learned from that, that I use when building. I think roofing is the most interesting trade and you’ve really got to know your stuff. Excellent vid. Edit: I liked the music.
Great video, I'm hoping you will do a front canopy above a bay window and front door in detail, basically a mini pitched roof to you fellas, but a great thing for us amateurs, diyers!!
5 hours to do this is amazing. Gutted I didn’t do a lot of roof work as an apprentice, so many jobs I’ve had to turn down as I have no idea where to start when it comes to this
Teach yourself building a model roof. Roofing really is simple. The book that you can get with the Gibson framing square is very self explanatory. Start with gable to gable then do a hip.
Robin, as usual with all your stuff it’s beautifully presented, explained and extremely interesting. You’ve put a lot of thought and effort into the content and post-filmmaking production with interesting time-lapse and music but you forgot to proofread the title; ”how too with…” should read “how to with…”. Nitpicking I know but you are such a professional it’s a little niggle! Keep up the good work.
Hi Robin, Obversely trust in your measurements is paramount and I can see this in your work ethic, but whilst your cutting everything and bringing the concept to an actual do you have an image in your head of what the end result will look like! the reason I ask is that your manor comes across as a matter of fact which I would think comes with the years of experience and the knowledge you have gained over the years. Thanks for sharing as alway it is great watching a professional applying their trade and skill set.
Hi Robin...... looking forward to watching this later when I get a minute....... loved the roof window install video this week...... super product......👍
A quick question for Robin: I noticed you often using treated timber for roof construction? I would have thought that if the roof is in such a bad shape that the timbers are starting to rot, treatment isn’t going to save them?
Super efficient and neat as usual. I wouldn't have any problem building that roof. I could even use an app these days for the rafter length. But you got me on the ridge length. Calculating roofs is your strong point not mine. I would have to stand the two rafters up and either plumb them or set them at the pitch and measure between for the ridge length. Where are you measuring to and from on the plate to come up with 597mm. Always trying to learn off those better than me.
@@WilliamPightling Sorry William. Robin says you are right but makes no sense to me. I learnt the old fashioned way with no college. We just built it and measured as we went. How does working out where to put the crown rafter which is simply in the middle tell you the ridge length. The only measurement he had was 1510 mm centre. All the other rafters in that run will be shredders/jacks at whatever spacing you choose. And two hips. The commons are on the side plates and yet he is measuring along the end plate that has no fixed points except the crown and hips and announces 597 mm. There are no commons to measure to. Still lost.
@@ukconstruction Just got my head around this explanation. Yes the ridge will be to this length in that you stick a common rafter at each end of the ridge board. This doesn't explain how you know the length of the ridge by measuring the end plate. I could make the ridge an infinite length with a rafter either end and this explanation would still be true.
@@ukconstruction Finally got there. The top is a rectangle not square. The ridge will be the length of the side minus the length of the end. Hence you going on about equalising the length if everything is not exactly the same. While William's explanation is correct it didn't explain to me where the 597 mm came from. And his statement is true of any hip roof with any length ridge. It would even be true for a bastard hip. Now am I correct.
I am in the middle of a flat to pitched for a 1970s extension on my house so just checking I am doing it right! Your joints are tighter than mine! I think I would add a cross brace joist over where the noggins are to remove any potential pushing on the wall plates. Your old flat roof would have weighed far less than the pitched roof you are putting on so there will be more dead weight in the middle of the roof, where is that going? It looks like the roof was an L shape extension over a corner of the original roof so there may be the old wall under it all.
Great demo of lovely hip roof. I'm not a fan of hip tiles but from a structural point of view it's great. There is probably a way to keep the hip tiles on these days - well perhaps they will be vented and screwed on? Dumb question - on that angled cut was the timber placed resting on narrowest face to make a clear camera shot or would you actually do any like that? Top job. That should keep the rain out 😁
Hi Robin, Nice job when you did a quick "test" with two common rafters and a short ridge piece. Do you ever test by first cutting two common rafters to their mathmatical length set the pair in place and evaluate how the plum cuts come to gether and also check that you're at the correct total rise. If the two test common rafters don't sit perfectly one can shim/space the plum cut apart until achieving the perfect height then mark in place the shorting distance for the ridge creating two perfect templates. What say ye. To much work or a good way to avoid the impossablbe of cutting all the stock only to discover the ridge is in the wrong place.
Well Peter that's a really good fail safe, but I have cut so many roofs that I am super confident and can read every discrepancy that most buildings throw at me!! And with my app and roofing square it's a breeze too!
weird question, but why is this job worth doing? Is it aesthetics, does it provide extra loft space, thermal & moisture installation, or was it just a repair job and thought, whilst repairing, might as well extend? Thanks for the info in advance, very professional looking work!
Hi. Can you help please. We need to understand and see photos of a bungalow, flat roof (or slightly sloping) open canopy porch. Poss rubber roof. Only the roof is two pitches with a valley between them. Just a simple design. Any visuals on past jobs would be much appreciated. Please reply and maybe we can pm each other. Thank you. Niki
would it have been better to just take it all down and built it from scratch so if homeowner wanted to built a loft extension in future it could be done easily? Or does it not matter?
How come you don't make a pair of jack rafters from a single compound cut? Seems like it would take less time and timber that way. That's what I did for my little gazebo roof anyway 👍
Here from Keith’s channel, and I can’t believe this took just 5 hours! Unreal levels of skill, well done guys.
Welcome and thank you!!
Great video that young lad is getting a wealth of knowledge from you he's very lucky ,I love the way you explain things and try to keep it simple enough for everyone, your a credit to carpentry
Can’t wait to see Keith’s version of this on his channel. I bet he’s grinning from ear to ear. “Robin Clevett did my roof!” 😊
Two guys working in perfect harmony. I love the efficiency of effort; measure it right, cut it right, install it right. A pleasure to watch. Thanks
I was thinking the same. Even the height difference plays a part. No chance of bumping heads when tag teaming the birds mouths 😁
I think that I have just watched Stickly Come Dancing!
Bloody lovely of you to step in and help him out! I was really upset for him when he came back to his house like that. Nice one, and he now has the certainty it's been done absolutely perfectly.
I'm an apprentice carpenter from Norfolk would of love to of met you both great work as always.
Just here to take satisfaction in people doing a complex job with absolute ease and mastery. Amazing work.
That is a beautiful job indeed, Robin. You're one of the most humble master carpenters out there.
Amazing transformation with Ed' from when he first appeared. A young man exuding confidence. Keep up the good work.
Thank you Mike!
Another great video showing skillmanship
Brilliant to see you working for (with?) Keith Brown. His is one of my favourite channels (along with yours of course!)
Well it was a pleasure to work with Keith, a true gentleman
Like watching high-rise ballet. Wonderful
Excellent work, pretty much how I was taught 20 plus years ago. Great to see it done , even better when it flows . Good team work
Well done Robin. Fantastic to see two great RUclipsrs working together. Good man yourself!
Loving that you use an old School eastwing framing hammer

I also came here from Keiths channel. That was a very nice thing to do for the couple. The way you and Ed work is quite awesome.
Very nice Robin, that assistant is a great help isn't he? Looking forward to the next video
Great job Robin . its amazing how you are able to work in such heights.
Love it. Great job
It is not the stilettos, it is the lady wearing ‘em. Well it was when I was at college 😂
Proper job! I know that will give Keith such a huge peace of mind that the work has been done properly with thought and skill, & has taken care of any possible planning permission requirement concern by being under the existing roof height 👍

Great video guys. Very informative cheers from down under.
Like a Young gazelle running up that roof robin ....tidy job 👍
Real pleasure watching !!!
Great explanations !!!
I simply love this .

Cracking job. Great watching pro's at work.
Love these videos and love the workmanship. Quality dont come over night master enjoining hes work 👌
Great video Robin and Ed👌

Nice to meet you Veronica!!
Great work. This is the way I show my students how to do a hip roof. With an app etc. I'm going to refer them to this video. Keep up the great work 👍
Thanks Donal, well done for sharing with the next generation of fine craftspeople!! You keep up your valuable and good work too mate
No doubt about it, you are very good 👍👍👍👍
Ed is worth his weight in gold. Not many apprentices like him about.
no one could afford his weight in gold!!!! he is a giant!!!
Top class work and nice number plate 👌
Thanks 👍
EXCELLENCE ROBIN AND YOUR APPRENTICE OUSTANDING WORK
Hard to beat those American framing hammers...great job
Agreed Peter!
Amazing work guys
Amazing work well done chaps
You always have the BESTEST timber!!
Interesting project, appreciate you sharing it with us
My pleasure!
poetry in motion. Cool, Calm, Collected. Very insightful, should collab with Dr Decks

Interesting that robin chose to use a corded circ saw. Can’t beat corded power I guess.

Ridge length is equal to the distance between the outside faces of the outermost common rafters. Hope this helps Dave.

Nice one man 👍🏻

A celebrity special
does the crown rafter need to be half the ridge thickness less to get the true length of the ridge ??
great job
Good job ,I fit hips first then crown rafter your way throws hips off line , am I nit picking 😉
This is the way it's taught here across all colleges and how we where taught in 1987
Fine ,on big roofs you would also use kite boards for deep hips ,I was taught in the 50ts , no power tools then ,still doing roofs ,great . Richard.
would it have been better to just take it all down and built it from scratch so if homeowner wanted to built a loft extension in future it could be done easily?
Or does it not matter?
He's just so happy 😂
Nice

Thats what we do, we get all pairs from doing one cut, it's hard to see on the video but that is exactly how we cut all Jack's etc
Robin that is definitely a new tape measure.. I thought you was going to have your finger off! Haha. Is your roofing app available? Great video 👍🏻
