Great job very well explained. Going to try my own repair now thanks for a great demonstration. I see some people like to give u advice in the comments
Good repair there buddy but did you check under the lead flashing to see how they sealed underneath the lead they should of used a grp upstand and flashed up the chimney at least 150mm but it was a terrible installation of that grp system, also those wires i think they looked like tv ariel wires should not of gone through the roof like that you would never make them water tight great video cheers
Top video mate. Could you make a fibreglass flashing 3-500mm that runs off a skylight/lantern then onto another roof. Be it metal or something else. I’m installing a lantern onto a metal roof and was thinking of doing a fibreglass custom flashing to stop any water ingress
I have a similar sized roof at ground level that needs a rub down and reapplication of topcoat. Sadly, I don't have the time to do it myself where are you based in the UK buddy? I was impressed with your attention to detail.
Just starting on my shed roof and been recomended to use uv protection aluminium paint as top coat will ensure job lasts much longer im wondering why its not applied in this case
Cold roof, no ventilation.... good luck.... its going to puddle up because of different board thickness. I am amazed how You do it without gloves! I use lots!!!!
Hello, I think that the money you have spent will mabey cure the leak short term but as you have made a roof pond it will cause problems in the future. Yes it is hard to patch and get a level deck but the lip at the front end of the repair will stop the water from entering into the gutter, not totally but any lip that causes water to pool can freeze in winter expand and cause a failure in your repair. Still your work is clean and you seem to be on the right track just tweak improve and be proud in your work.😊👍
Hi. I have exactly as you mentioned a pond, as the lip stops water going into the gutter. Its quite new roof and no leak but I would like to repair it - flaten it. what would you recommend ?
If the fiberglassing is done correctly the roof will not leak, don't waste money trying to rectify it , only if your looking onto it and you can see water pond then maybe it will be annoying.
water sat on top of a fiberglass lip will freeze? and? the water would need to be under the fiberglass, in between the pieces of wood to cause and damage. or in between the old and the new layer of fiberglass. but now they are essentially one layer with that top coat of epoxy. Flat rooves can literally have water on them 24/7 and be fine. fiberglass is what boats are made out of. that literally sit in water 24/7.
another nicely executed job! stoopid question - but can yo re-use the mixing bucket for the 2nd and 3rd batches? I ask as I was wondering whether the old catalyst might accelerate the new mix...
Yes you can. Once it dries in the bucket the residue tends to peel off is one bit piece quite easily. It doesn’t stick to the bucket. It may be the specific bucket lining.
You did a good job there I would invest in a belt for the trousers out the profits, and if there is any change buy some gloves that cleaning acid looks nasty thumbs up from me
It would have been better to make the repair level with the existing roof, now the water will pond. Did you acetone after sanding? Recommend to get rid of dust and achieve a better adhesion the topcoat.
Good Job , I need you , my flat roof leaking, to the left side back, if you have a flat roof coat it once every two years, that's to be safe real safe, find some one that has a problem with the booze or drugs , they work real cheap, you have to pay them more than they ask for .
Hope you got it fixed but if not you would need to find where it's leaking first. It may have pin holes or cracks that will need sanding down and recoating with resin and matting. The base coat should always be watertight in my experience. Top coat gives it protection and the colour.

Top quality JOB WELL DONE
Great stuff. 1st couple of video I've seen of yours...now subscribed and looking forward to seeing more. Cheers 👍🏼
Thanks 🙂 hope you enjoy the channel
What an improvement 👌🏾
great work, mate
Looks great!!
Very nice job
Thanks for this. very informative.
Nice to see expert at work, just wondering if the new board’s thickness is same as the old, why it’s not level? Water will stay within the new patch?
Had the same thought, but if you see at 8:20 the water can escape.
Great job. I noticed how the bit you replaced looks a lot smoother than the existing roof. These systems aren't really for the average diyer
Job done, and well done. :)
Very helpful video, thanks!
Well done 👍🇬🇧
Great stuff.
Much appreciated 👍
In hindsight, do you wish you’d packed up the joist work below the new osb so that the finished repair was level with the area around it?
No they asked for a roof pool
Great job wish you was in yorkshire I'd get you to fix mine

excellent great job.....

Very good Video you should be on the T.V.
Good work mate 👍. Can’t believe you didn’t wear any gloves when doing the fibre glass 😬. But keep up the good work mate 👌
He's hard as nails! 😃
I'm wondering how these loft conversion guys made flat roof to ridge connection watertight. Any Idea ? 🤔

I would like to know if this fiberglass paint can be placed inside the slab ceiling as it is also fiberglass tile and can use as anti-condensation?
Cold roof, no ventilation.... good luck.... its going to puddle up because of different board thickness. I am amazed how You do it without gloves! I use lots!!!!
How much did the whole thing cost,including labour and materials?
Cold roof with no ventilation makes me think it’s an old pre-regs build. May I ask how old the build was for GRP to be failing like that?
Good grief, how did you get the osb up there - let alone yourself?
great video brother, so if want to repair small portions. can i use 75mm glass bandage?
Hi thankyou, yes you can. make sure to sand the area and clean with acetone first

Sanded> acetone>paint
What grit sanding paper?
Which readymade paint can be used?
Scusa ma l'acqua dove stà il pezzo di legno non rimane appantanata?
Does this Gelcoat have wax or no wax?
It would have been better to make the repair level with the existing roof, now the water will pond. Did you acetone after sanding? Recommend to get rid of dust and achieve a better adhesion the topcoat.
He said he did acetone after sanding. Cheers.
It looks like the lower area slopes down and won't pond.

Are you a general contractor?
Why is your repair lower than the rest of the roof?
Looks good is that top coat silicone and can the fiberglass go over the silicone and then you put a top coat of silicone is that how that works
Hi i dont think the top coat is silicone based. You would have to sand it back first if you wanted to fibreglass over it. I hope this helps.
My garage roof isn't very old but with snow, it has leaked a little bit with the water been held on it. Would retop coating it fix the problem?
Hope you got it fixed but if not you would need to find where it's leaking first. It may have pin holes or cracks that will need sanding down and recoating with resin and matting. The base coat should always be watertight in my experience. Top coat gives it protection and the colour.
I am hook on watching your videos but I noticed the repair did not level back with the rest of the roof....Why was that so if you dont mind me asking?
The old boards slightly swelled but as long as the lower part is flush then it’s fine.
The Italian sunken roof garden
Is there a reason why you didn't use a sanding machine?
Sanding machines are for betas! Lol
Only joking, it wasn’t necessary
The sanding looks like it would be hard on the back 😬
Great work useful video out of interest how much to do a job like that ?
Look how nice your patch is compared to the poor existing roof, they defo had a chancer do that
Your not afraid of a bit of hard work....likewise
Is it the same hardner as for the fibreglass??
Hi Paul yes
@@darrenthebuilder what's the better glassfibre or the rubber sheeting??, thanks for replies
I’m yet to use the rubber roofing so I can’t compare. It seems a lot easier to install. I may do one soon and I’ll have an idea to compare them.
Will.dan.i.laik..thanks
Hello Great job where are you based .?
Thanks
We’re based in London and cover all over
Be easier to sand it when on your hands n knees, not with a long handle.
Nah it ain't
@@amjidali588 ………….. your answer means that you have better eyesight than me, I’d prefer to be on my knees.
I don’t get why repair is lower than existing. Couldn’t you get osb the same thickness? Notice no answers to all the questions in the comments.
He replies in the comments over a year ago.
Were you airdropped onto roof ??? Where the fck was your access point ???
