Proper way, so pleased I only do torch on flat roofing nowadays. Working on plain tiles and pegg tile fucked my knee cartaledge up, do miss it in a way
I helped with torch on and really enjoyed it. Unfortunately the company that I worked for dealt with asbestos unsafely and wanted us to use grinders to cut through sheets so I left pretty quick.
@@aspec999 no, you want the supporting tile to have a rafter taking the weight of the tile. You don’t want to put stacks of tile on just felt without the rafter as that is what supports the weight. The supporting tile is there just to support the stack.
Doing that gives me a sore back. It works for me on a small roof like a garage but I personally just prefer to load it out. I have a bunch more videos if you want to check them out. We loaded a 60,000 tile roof and a 28,000 plain tile roof. Had about 5 of us losing it out. Appreciate the time. 👌🏽.
@@davidbird380 I have a video of the 60,000 and the 28,000. Was allot of work as we had to throw from the ground to scaffold then chain up the roof. 😴😴
Far to complicated too much information in too shorter time .so having said that pretty pointless . Also doing a job like that stacking the tiles is the least of your worrys.
I do them short so it’s not needed to skip sections of the video. Whoever is watching can press the pause, rewind button if needed. Also stacking tiles on the roof is an important prep for a roof. It gives you a good step in the right direction to get the tiles on the roof so you and your work mate can both lay tiles and make the job faster. Thanks for the comment.
Very important process for roofs. Last thing you want to do is turn around after laying 5 tiles at a time. Especially when you have thousands of tiles. A lot of the roofs we do have 20-30,000 tiles to lay.
@@roofinguk m8, I’ve been doing this for nearly 40 years, the rod should be 6 tiles wide. That’s 2 bundles of 14 plus your 2 carriers. You don’t keep marking the same measurements, you work out the width of the roof. Fuckin amateurs! Never seen such bullshit !
I understand this, I just thought down pressure may slightly mark up the felt. I’ll give it a go tomorrow 👍
@@aspec999 let me know how it goes
This is exactly what I used to do, proper old school

@@roofinguk yeah good move , torch on sbs is the best flat roofing system out there , get on it 👍
Does the supporting tile at the bottom cut into the felt

i put them straight on, one pulling up, one passing, i touch the tile once

This is total crap
Please can you explain
@@roofinguk you have no clue how to load out plain tiles .
@@PeakyBlinder 25 a stack every 5 battens. 5 tiles wide. Job done. ✅
this is exactly how you load plain tiles hence why every roofer in the country does it mate lmao (at least the good ones)
@@nathanedwards3747 just loaded a gigantic roof. Must have about 30+ thousand tiles on the roof. Have a preview on another video
