The UK needs guys like you and Robin Clevett in the trade schools teaching the next generation.
Thanks for the kind words Matthew! Have an awesome weekend 👍
Yeah defo I would love to get off the tools and get a teaching job as my back is proper fucked
Good job, but to keep a straight line all you have to do. Is place a ridge tile at the top and one at the bottom eye them up make a mark top and bottom then strike a line. Still every one to their own
Will, what a craftsman you are - an apprenticeship school/college needs the like of you just as Matthew said, first class workmanship....
totally agree.. spot on work..
I know nothing about roofing or laying hips but the extra effort you go through to ensure that the job is a good one, but also aesthetically pleasing is refreshing to see. The devil is in the detail & it’s the finishing touches that make the job.
You are a credit to your industry. Wish you all the success you deserve.
Nice one.
Hi thanks for your kind words all the best Tony 👍 have a awesome weekend
Gotta love us British and our measuring techniques... " leaving a 10mm gap, call it 15 inches!" Top job!!
I'm an ex roofer, leadman for the last 20 years, I know an old boy who cuts his to ridge on the deck never on the roof and every time it's bang on, asked him a few times how he does it he just winks at me and smiles. Shame he's retiring soon best roofer I've ever seen and I've seen a lot. Top job by the way 👏 👌
Something about these guys which make it so incredibly easy to understand but at the same time entertaining and very instructional. A lot of this stuff you only learn on site and this is providing people with a real good depth of knowledge! Keep it up guys! Awesome! Thanks, Marc
Hi Marc we are glad that you are enjoying the channel have a awesome weekend all the best Tony 👍
Will do mate.... loving the channel and all the great things that you do on it. I work on council properties all day week in week out... very repetitive and same old stuff in every place,so it’s amazing to see what can be done. Need to up my game onto bigger things for sure after watching your channel! 👌👍
Social housing sector is tittyvating lol
I have been a slater,,,roofer ,,,,for 45 years and ran 100s if not 1000s of hips up and it’s great to see someone who can put a roof on without those dry ridge systems ,most people who call thereselfs roofer these days would be baffled doing it the proper way,,great job guys
@@Yesindeed126 no they not hard either of them ,,give em an old Pantile hip to do and see if that looks as easy.
Nice mate I’ve been doing roofing 18 years and I have to say I really enjoy watching u doing ridges much more therapeutic than laying them myself 🤣🤣🤣
Exactly
I do small ridge and hip repairs in my property maintenance work and the reason I feel more confident is watching Will’s videos.
That's what you call professional great job lads
I've watched a few videos with Will, what a superb tradie.
I'm a plumber and it's great to see passion and professionalism still in the industry.
Too right bud, got to do all we can to inspire the next generation! Take care Matthew 👍
Good call mate, I’m a plumber in Australia and theirs a real class system when it comes to trades. Roof tilers are known to be pretty rough when it comes to quality and skill. This fella is a absolute pro and great example of a master tradesmen. A&E are a class above. 👍
A real pleasure to see these professional roofers do such a great job explaining clearly what they are doing and taking pride in their work. .Will be saving this video to watch again when I reroof my Cape Dutch gabled house in South Africa.
Hi Lads, it was a joy to watch professional, conscientious craftsmen at work, I work in construction doing groundworks, driving the diggers doing foundations and drainage, I like to take a bit of pride in my work same as you, so regarding other trades I have the basic idea but still need and appreciate the tradesman's knowledge. You guys are definitely masters of your trade, you watch some videos on RUclips and realise some people are just slap, dash and scarper! Well done, Top marks!! Pete.
Thanks for watching Pete, have an awesome 2022! 👍
Nice neat job guys. We always use a t&g board as a guide. Just sit your side of the ridge on the tonge and then remove the board when you have bedded the last 1 then point up.
Same
You are one of the Best teachers
I like this guy, confident pro with great explanation. Good teacher. Thanks mate, i enjoyed that.
Much appreciated Bob! Have a lovely weekend 👍
Will the roofer - a Leamington legend! A friend recommended him. He did a top job on my garage hip and ridge tiles a few years back. 👍
I know Will will appreciate your kind words here Matt, thanks for watching and have an awesome weekend 👍
Fantastic job there. Very professional in every aspect.. I like how respectful you are on camera to your work colleague too 👍
I've been a tiler/slater for 29 years in the UK. Still learning new tricks from Will's videos. Another great video. 👍
The simple fact that you re-cut the ridge tile so your margins are correct at the meeting point tells me one specific thing your an excellent tradesman and even though nobody will see but you means you care bout your work and your customers project this is a great video and your setting a great example for the younger tradesmen out there and more importantly young Ricky who's with you, it was a joy to watch this, I'm a roofer myself and I like attention to detail people god knows we have plenty of cowboys going around the place ... glad I found your channel sub now too, all the best you ll never be out of work and take care..
Hope you know how good this is guys, tutoring like this is a real talent.
I’m a diy dude and need to carry out a minor repair, this has everything I need to know. Cheers.
Thanks. This has given me the confidence to relay some ridge tiles that have become dislodged during storm Arwen. Quality tutorial from a true craftsman !
You need a sign putting up. "Perfectionist at Work". My Dad a Builder always told me, if you do any job, do it right 1st time.70 yrs on wise words.
So grateful that you are taking the time to post these videos. Your years of experience show in the way you make what is a technical procedure look quite easy. Obviously that’s not the case. Thank you so much. Looking forward to more roofing videos.
Wow, thank you Waggers! Will definitely be more on the way, take care 👍
I've got to say will I've learned so much from watching you work... You have a great teaching method and extremely clear and concise. I look forward to more from you. Thanks A&E team. 👍👌
Wish I did my apprenticeship with this man
Thanks for watching Dean 👍
Perhaps he'd accept 'pay to learn' interneships?
What A beautiful day in my hometown of Leamington spa excellent video very well explained keep up the good work everyone at build A&E stay safe 👍👍👍😊
Hi Isabel hope you are all well, glad you enjoyed the video, have a awesome weekend and stay safe all the best Tony 👍
We need more guys like you in this world
I'm a landscaper and currently building my own workshop, not being a roofer it was this job thats going to be the hardest part for me but finding and watching this video helped me massively understand the proper way hips are tackled, its a real credit to you and your skill set!Thanks again!
That's great to hear Andrew, many thanks for watching bud 👍
Brilliant video, concise presentation with no waste dialogue. Excellent roofing.
Excellent video very well explained... BIG THANK YOU
Excellent! That was pretty much perfect! Well done
Impeccable work! Absolutely perfect! Thanks for the lesson too.
Glad you liked it Nate! 👍
This was a bit long video but well worth it. I am attempting to do my tile roof ridge, you covered everything and made it look easy enough to try. I really love the attention to detail. Thank you!
Lovely work,looks great and straight.
I'm just about to have some ridge work done. To be able to see this not only helps me see the process but fully appreciate the skill involved - and why the cost is what it is. Brilliant video and your teaching skills are excellent (I'm involved in learning). Thank you
Excellent explanation! I very much enjoy this host and his roofing videos. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it! Will's a natural - great member of the team! Have an awesome weekend 👍
My first time roof diy on garage. 4 ridge tiles replaced using your skills, learnt a lot and simply explained. Bit scary first time on a roof. Thank you.
Professionalism and commitment at its best. Thank you, so impressed!
Nice job Will, good to see a perfectionist at work 👍
Thanks Barry! Have an awesome weekend 👍
super helpful of you to post.Thankyou much.
Wonderful work - so much attention to detail and a really good explanation. Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it Sid! Take care 👍
Brilliant video. Great job guys👍🏾
He's Great, what a guy to have on your team...
He sure is! Will is a top bloke and asset to the team. Thanks for watching Glen - take care 👍
Brilliant Video thank you, one of the best I have seen very well explained true workmanship at it's best .
I specialise in knowledge management and these type of videos are so good for sharing knowledge with others however there is a lot of preparation behind the scenes and some people feel more comfortable than others teaching in this way. I think anyone who works with you has their future assured if they choose to listen. Keep up the good work and sharing your knowledge.
Cheers and GOD BLESS.
Many thanks RB, take care! 👍
Great patience and clear instructions. Top class how to teach
Wonderful craftsmanship well done hope too see more thank you.
Definitely more to come! Have a great weekend Afzul! 👍
I’ve not seen it done like that before with a scaffolding board secured to the scaffolding. Always interesting to see how others do it. I use a ridge runner which is adjustable to accommodate any type of ridge and supports your muck on both sides of the hip. It also is self supporting and just sits on the hip without any need to brace it. We tend to use remix if doing muck work as it knocks up a lovely drop of gear and it’s consistent every time without need for febmix. Having said all this, we rarely even do muck work on roofs these days unless they are repairs or on very old buildings. It’s usually dry ridge system, which is designed for ventilation and the mechanical fixings provide a much more permanent solution and never a need to worry about cracking muck work. And apart from anything else it’s ten times as quick. Still have to point tour starter and your mitres but it’s lot easier screwing a ridge down than it is to bed it on muck. One thing I will say though is the dry ridge system is not great on deep profile tiles like mendips or pantiles but work a treat with plain tiles slates and stonewolds. I’m guessing you do all your perimeters in muck work. Again, valleys and gables in dry systems are super quick and look pretty too. I wonder if u use segmental ridge all over or do u use 1/3 round on the hips to avoid that top ridge swinging up where it meets the mitre? I like the fact that u keep your tile cuts central to the hip and so avoid muck spilling into the roof void. The amateur wouldn’t appreciate that would cause water ingress. They think that so long as it’s under the ridge tile that it doesn’t matter but I’ve seen the hip rafter start to rot out due to muck having spilt into the central void. I’ve often wondered what that fake muck is like. That stuff you buy in premixed bags. Really weird gruff. It looks like plasticine and is supposed to be completely waterproof and permanent. I’d love to try it but it’s well expensive.
Well u bedded a nice tidy hip. I didn’t see the mitre but I’m guessing u got that looking good too. I’ll come and do some work with u if u fancy it and exchange ideas and techniques. I have no labourers at present so I’m finding it hard working alone. Roofing is. Or a one man job, eh?
Good work fellas.
Beautiful work guys
Just about to do our hipped dormer, ran out of summer and the local guys can’t do it until November so I’m tackling it myself - thank you so much for these videos, you’ve made this really straightforward!
Proper blokes doing a job properly! 👍
Very nice of you my friend .
Pure class, not that I'm any judge. Thanks for sharing yr knowledge.
What a top geezer. Brilliant video.
Brilliant explanation, thanks for sharing knowledge, priceless!
Glad you enjoyed it Ivan! Have a great weekend! 👍
Definitely the best video on the subject I've seen so far. Quality work 👍
Wow, thanks Mirek! Take care 👍
Really helpful video thanks very much!
beautiful work guys
I used a length of tongue and groove one side,place the ridges along the tongue side,bed of mortar nice and high just inside the timber,then bed them on,point up when set after few hrs after removing wood job done,straight and level
I do it the same way but with a length of skirting board
Definitely the way to do it using a hip board a length of tongue and groove is how I was taught nice and straight and level
Top roofer mate. Love to see a video on lead flashing around a stack. Keep these top videos coming 👍
