The master at his craft! Very well done mate, a rare treat to see these skills
Thank you I’m glad you enjoyed the vid. And thanks for watching.
Nice work, mate 👍
Thank you and thanks for watching.
Nice stepped flashings, did loads of it when I was a plumber, love leadwork. Keep up the good work 👍
Thank you. A quite enjoy a bit of step flashing occasionally. Especially when’s it’s already chased out for me.
Fantastic work. I see the flashings wasn’t ideal but your not getting paid for chasing out. Made up for it by the saddle
Thank you and thanks for watching.
Top work as usual Stu.
Im amazed you had to bend the lead to the curve in the roof though... Usually the lead is already curved like a banana straight from the roll 🤣
Lol 😂😂😂. Omg where’s a banana roll when you need one 🍌🍌😳😂
Just seen you for first time but you sir are one of a kind.. Doing such a good job
Thank you so much and thanks for watching.
How did you come across my channel ?
@@slbleadworks you tube looking for vids about epdm.( My roof leaking) and came down here
Great vid! Love how you edited out the flashing sliding down the roof whilst marking the brick courses, and the 'f$&k it' moments when a tile breaks whilst sitting on a roof. That's how you do it ;)... when you know how!
Lol thank you.
Yes both of those things has definitely happened to me once or twice. Luckily on this one I only had one sliding piece of lead but don’t tell anyone lol.
cheeky Saturday night submission 👍
Thanks for watching

Hey Stuart. Whats going on with those old bits of lead all over that wall? Great job as always 😊
From memory I think they were left in from when a previous roof was removed.
Nice video of a nice job 🙂
Thank you and thanks for watching.
Amazing work well done
Thank you and thanks for watching
👍
Thanks for watching.
Hi Stu where can i get a strikg plate like yours as the ones on line look thin.Asking for my son who is also Stu thanks in advance keep up the good work.
They sell them on the roof shops website. If you Google lead striking plate it should come up. Thanks for watching.
first class stuart
Thank you
Lead workers , the nice boys of roofing trades lol
Thanks for watching
What do you use to finish the lead to the brick… do you use some form of mirror or like a lead sealant like flashpoint?
On this particular job the roofer I done the job for is old school and points it in himself with mortar. But usually I use lead sealant. Flashpoint etc.
Seems a shame to cover your welding with the ridge tile. 😎😎😎 nice work.
Thank you. I’m terrible lol I always try to hide them.
You welded the saddle because you can. We used to just turn the saddle up the wall like the soakers and then put a cover flashing over it. The end ridge buts against it and holds it in anyway. Super neat job. How did you learn your trade. Are there college courses in lead work these days or did you serve an apprenticeship as a lead worker. It has all changed over there since I left. However you trained someone did a good job.
I started when I was 16 straight from school. I done a 4 year apprenticeship. With 1 day a week at college. But it was definitely working alongside another lead worker that I learnt the most. Proper real world out on site training. I worked with two amazing lead workers. Although one of them I was definitely scared off. I didn’t want to make any mistakes as I wasn’t sure what he would do. Although he had a temper. He was an amazing lead worker.
Nice work, excellent video. I appreciate the welding that you do. If one doesn't have a suitable torch would it be acceptable to use plumbers solder?
Thank you.
No you can’t use use that as far as I’m aware.
I think you can fuse two pieces together using what was called a wiped joint so basically like soldering I suppose. Stuart definitely knows his stuff and is a very good leadworker. I may be wrong but I think I've seen leadwork done using that go join it but then again that could of been wrong to do it like that. I know pipes used to be joined all the time using the wiped joint and still is today all be it very rare unless you work exclusively on heritage projects
Hello , question if you don’t mind , what stops the water being driven in the step flashing on the slanted vertical part and then down the back of the soaker ?? Thanks any reply welcome
Each step is turned into the brick joint by 25mm. This is then pointed in with mortar or silicone. And as the steps go up they lap the one underneath. The slant also encourages water away. If water was to run down the slant it would hit the 25mm turn in on the step underneath. I know it doesn’t look like it should work and I see where you’re coming from.
But it does and his method has been proven to work for years.
Thank you for your reply I take your word for it that it works, its lovely to see how attentive you are to your job , wish you all the wealth and more importantly health .
@@bobjit252 Thank you so much. And thanks for watching.
Nice mate
Thank you
Hey stew I'm in Brighton for a few months,
Be nice to say hello
Lancing not Brighton.
I’m in the dog house right now as I’ve been out every evening at the gym 😳😂
Top notch stu,
Appreciate you making the time to film and upload these videos.
How long have you worked for yourself?
Thank you. To he honest I’m really enjoying getting the vids out there.
I’ve been self employed for around 14 years and doing lead work for 27.
Silly question stu
How do you go about getting your lead welder on say a top lift of scaffolding ?
Do you have a smaller setup?
@@jamiemclaughlin6827 no I just carry these up. I’ve purposely got the bottle cage without the wheels as this fits though the scaffold lifts.
@@slbleadworks thanks mate 👍
Hi would it be possible for you to tell me why some of my steps look good and at a good angle but others look fairly straight even though I’m following the brickwork? Many thanks
Providing your always keeping your waterline the same. The deviation in steps could be to do with different roof pitches on different jobs. Or I suppose bad brickwork.
Ridge tile line looks like its virtually on the top nail 9.43 .... not your fault obviously but makes you question the roofers a bit.
I did remember thinking it looked close on one side.
I’m a roofer myself and I am planning on teaching myself how to weld. Mainly for chimney flashings, back gutters, nothing major. Have you any tips?
I would recommend investing in a decent setup. It definitely makes life easier having the right gear.
You can have the best gear but if you are not patient and do not know what flame you need to weld lead ! It will drive you nuts 🤪.
Run the abutment then do the lead then tile it.
The tiler should do step flashing it's simple
Yes he does tend to some flashings but only if I’m not available.
after you do the step work, does a mason put some mortar back?
I wish they did. They used to back in the day. But nowadays it’s me pointing it back in with lead sealant.
Where should you fit the hall clips or wedges on the flashing ? On the furthest point away from the roof or in the middle off step ?
I always put mine in the middle of the step.
Just makes sure you don't get it where the brick vertical joints are too
They do different size hall clips did you know mate.
Oh right ok. I’ll have to look into those.
👌👌👍👍
Thank you
