HOW TO LAY HIPS AND RIDGES | Roofing Series
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
I've been a tiler/slater for 29 years in the UK. Still learning new tricks from Will's videos. Another great video. 👍
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
Roofing is hard. Proper skill and experience required. Top job. Saying it from trying it myself diy.
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
That's what you call professional great job lads
Wish we could get craftsmen like you
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! 👍
You are one of the Best teachers
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
Wish I did my apprenticeship with this man
Thanks for watching Dean 👍
Perhaps he'd accept 'pay to learn' interneships?
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! 👍
Will,I would love to have been your apprentice. Your attention to detail is impeccable. Keep up the good work.
Wow, thanks bud! Many thanks for the support and take care 👍
So much difference between watching a professional (this video) and some other who claim to be. Good stuff guys keep em coming.
Hi lazenby thanks for your kind words and watching all the best Tony 👍 have a awesome weekend
Wish all trades would take this much care and attention. Top job boss 👍
Proper blokes doing a job properly! 👍
Great job and very nicely explained,
Another professional quality job. Work to be proud of your attention to detail is second to none. All too easy to have an it’ll do attitude especially when it’s on a roof. Thanks for taking the time the film. Keep up the great work. All the best Pete 👍👍
Thanks Pete 👍
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 !
Beautiful work guys
I like your character that comes across in the way you work and attention to detail...... The customer can rest assured they are getting a quality job...
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.
Professionalism and commitment at its best. Thank you, so impressed!
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
Brilliant video, and acting style. Good job.
Great job!
AN old school tip for you is to use a T&G floor board instead of the Scaf Plank and lay the hip on the tongue that way it will keep your hip straight and also set the height of one side of the hip
Nice! Thanks for watching 👍
beautiful work guys
We need more guys like you in this world
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 👍
Great patience and clear instructions. Top class how to teach
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 👍
The best teacher
Respect
Awesome work fella👍👍
Excellent. Perfect job, not many builders with that attention to detail. I know who to ask when I need mine done!
I'm not a roofer but a plasterer
I do a lot of work for roofers in particular rives as I am good a t leveling and sand and cement but it amazes me how many tell me I'm being to picky great to see I'm right ther rong lol
Great work 🤜🤜🤜
Thanks for watching Keith, take care 👍
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 👍
Will is smashing the videos Tony man his roof work is absolutely mint. Trust me when I say he makes that look very easy 👍👍👍
Many thanks guys, I'm sure Will will appreciate your kind words - have an awesome weekend 👍
So good to see something being done right
Do it once do it right , spread the good 👍. Thanks guys as ever
Impressively confident on camera, comes across very clear and concise. To be fair you guys all do and too tradesman to boot. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Much appreciated Elliot, have an awesome weekend!
Will's like Michelin star chef with his trowel and those hips and rigs are five stars.
Been a roofer for 16 years so this is nothing new.....but was great to watch and very well explained......its crazy how many people do a messy job for a quick quid iv put a few "bodge it and scarper" jobs right🤣🤣 nice to see you taking pride in your work👍👍
Its so nice to see a hip/ridge joint that isn't kicked up, and this video shows that can be done properly with skill and attention to detail. Great job boys and stay safe up there. Cheers.
Glad you enjoyed it bud! Have an awesome weekend 👍
Would never attempt it but was a pleasure watching experts at work.
Thanks for watching 👍
Being able to take pride in your work is good for the soul, and the family around you. And when folk around pay for your work because they have been told you do a very good job, Thats gravy on your chips on a cold day.
Thank you . Just what i need.
absolutely perfect video, and well done work, Greeting from Algeria!!!
Thanks for watching Hemissi 😎👍
Really really impressive.
Very good video, the camera work was great.
Impeccable work! Absolutely perfect! Thanks for the lesson too.
Glad you liked it Nate! 👍
just started to do one on garage, did it all wrong then came watch your video, dude you saved me the ball ache of being slow. copied your way and mate you saved my back :) amazing video keep it up
By far, the best explained video. Mate you are a legend 👏.
Fantastic job and clearly explained at every stage.
If I could find such a conscientious roofer I wouldn't bother learing how to do it myself.
Hope you get paid above the average rate because it's well above the average standard of work.
Pleasure to watch and thanks for sharing your hard earned knowledge.
Brilliant lads 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
Proper job lads
Top roofer mate. Love to see a video on lead flashing around a stack. Keep these top videos coming 👍
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!
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.
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!
Excellent work gents , always apreciate watcing a craftsman at his trade.
Thanks Loki, have an awesome week! 👍
Glad there's still good roofers out their...good work fellas... happy New year
Same to you! Take care 👍
Really helpful video thanks very much!
They have adjustable bedding frames now.
Definitely the best video on the subject I've seen so far. Quality work 👍
Wow, thanks Mirek! Take care 👍
Great video and the end product looked top notch!
It's nice to see quality workmanship and someone getting a proper apprenticeship.
Cheers boys
Hi Ricki much appreciated have a awesome weekend all the best Tony 👍
@@BuildWithAE Thanks Tony, you too mate
top job lads looking good credit to you boys
Your good man.
Worked with a fella who would lay each ridge one by one using only a chalk line and they were mint.
Wish I had watched a bit closer.
Wonderful work - so much attention to detail and a really good explanation. Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it Sid! Take care 👍
Beautiful guys! What a real pleasure it would be to work for such a great company? Have as good a Christmas as possible guys. 👌🏼
Hi Marty we really appreciate your support have a awesome weekend and have a great Christmas,
all the best Tony 👍
Nice, loved watching this. Always good to learn new skills. Well explained. Thanks Will.
Some boy 👍
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.
Believe it or not ridges are one of my favourite things do to👌🏽 very satisfying when it’s done properly well done!!👏🏼🧱
It really is! Have an awesome weekend Kieren. Take care 👍
Very tidy job I like the way you use your scaffold board on the one side too get your straight edge, I usually use ridge template top and and bottom and butt 2 25 x 50 battern 1 on each side creating the right width for the ridges than forming it as a frame, bed both insides of the battern placing your hip ridge tiles as you go, once at the top peel over your battern frame leaving your muck to go dry then scrape up and point all the way , usually I would always put a lead saddle up the top but everyone has there own ways, but good job 👍
Hi James it’s what ever works some people use a length of wooden floor board all the best Tony 👍
Nice to see Somone taking pride in there work👌🏻
🙌
Great Video fantastic skill
Please come to Newcastle we are desperate for roofers that know what they are doing. There are plenty of bodgers here who put a bit of cement down the edge of the tile without bedding the ridge tile down first. However, they are good at saying can you pay cash. The tiles are solid, even though you can see them wobbling about. They swing about the roof like monkeys on a roof ladder without using scaffolding on hipped roofs. Whatever happened to good tradesmen, they are being replaced by spotty teenagers with little or no experience.
so nice an instructor! appreciate your teaching!
Excellent job Will , Explained in detail , See so many new roofs where the hips/ridges have been lashed in at the angles which completely ruins the look of a new roof , Draws the eye . Top roofer.
It's a real shame to see a new roof completed incorrectly. The whole team prides itself on providing a high quality finish, and Will is no exception to that!
I'm sure he'll be pleased to read your comment.
All the best, John 😊
Amazing craftsmanship from great artisans with A&E.
Thank you for the kind words as always Maria, have an awesome weekend 👍

Will is definitely awesome at his job. If someone is happy in their work then it shows 😎
Thanks for watching.
All the best, John 😊
Very nice matey.
This guy is awesome, he should start up his own training company for building works, he's got a good skill set and he makes it enjoyable to watch and learn
What a top geezer. Brilliant video.
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 👍
