    Note: This is not a how to.... I should have put 2mm on the Arris rail before I pulled the welts up but it was a year and half since I'd been on a roof so Im a bit rusty and put it right after. Yes the timber really should be primed but I wasn't given any and they were OK to go ahead with out it.

    Loved this! Yes. More please. Had my house roof redone a few years ago and wasn't here to see what they did. Results are not that great for the price I paid. Shed now needs a new roof and I'll be doing it myself. Bet I do a better job then the hired roofers but certainly not as good work as what you do.

      @@JustEnjoytheGames lol First of all, I'll be putting a roof on my shed. And second, no torch will be involved. It's a small shed. My house has a very low pitched roof. You have to crawl in the attic space. The tiles should have been tarred on better. Some of them have already lifted in just 4 years. With the winters and winds we have it won't last long. I paid $5,000 for a 24' X 38' foot house with an attached 14' X 20' car port. And they didn't even put singles over my small back entrance. My neighbor said they only stayed there for half the day. Needless to say I am now home whenever there is work being done on my house. If you're a roofer, I hope you do a good job of it.

  • @michaelkotrosits4371
    @michaelkotrosits4371 3 месяца назад

    There are several no-no’s here. First never introduce an open flame to bare wood. In the states you need a barrier between the wood and the torch material. Secondly, never stack side laps. In other words a flashing side lap should never end up on a field side lap.
    In a two ply system (smooth/cap) offset the side laps minimum 12” from bottom ply to top ply.
    Just so you know I spent 20 years with Siplast, 10 with Soprema and now work for an engineering/consulting firm designing roof replacement and doing forensic investigation on failures.

    Like the way you cut the flashing at.an angle on both sides, I don't do them that way, but noticed they sit nice, do you cut them square or do you add cm for.the overlap?

    • @Vandal-Vlogs
      @Vandal-Vlogs  Год назад

      I cut them square. Yeah they just sit better and don't look to high when you look down the roof line.

  • @chrisgodfrey1891

    Nicely formed drip edge. But I don't understand why heat abit then heat another bit then another bit. It should heat the felt and stick to drip wood. Then heat the other bit and stick directly to the roof. Should take no longer than 30 secs to pull up a drip edge flashing. U take close to 2minutes cause the amount of time u burn abit and put the gun down. Then burn another bit.lol

    your drip formers are on the wrong way round, they are not primed or bitumen impregnated, you have no where near enough fixings, they should be 150mm apart, shall i go on ? ok, your underlay does not cover the drip batten, the drip batten is not primed, and with no facia board you should have used a 2x2 so they have room for the gutter. oh and its bleed not bead, beads are what you wear on your wrist.

    • @Vandal-Vlogs
      @Vandal-Vlogs  Год назад +1

      The drip formers (drip cards) are smooth side out like they should be.
      My nails are 100mm apart
      The batton was added after to make sure it would clear the gutter and leave room for the fascia. I didn't build the roof.
      Its called a bead not a bleed.
      The only thing I done wrong is not cover the the baton with 2mil and put 2mil on the arris before bringing the flashing up.
      No big deal. And it was 2 years since I stepped back on a roof I was s bit rusty.
      The finish is 10/10 don't care what you say.

    • @PeakyBlinder
      @PeakyBlinder Год назад +3

      @@Vandal-Vlogs oh sorry, i just paused the vid at 2:08 they look a lot wider than 100mm lol. drip formers not drip cards lol should be rough side out and primed so the drips have a key, and that 25mm batten you put on will only leave 10mm for the gutter bracket and that is not enough.
      a 2x2 easy edge is 45mm and that allows the correct drip overhang to fit a facia and gutter.
      also your drip former should have been set 5mm past the front drip batten to allow for the thickness of the return drip.
      you did say to let people tell you how your not doing it properly.
      i am an iko, bauder, langley, moy ,radmat ect ect approved contractor of 47 years and i'm just pointing out that this is far from properly lol.
      its not bad bad, i would give it 3 out of 10.
      keep it up, your getting there, oh and that italien gun you got there, the ignitor melts after a while they suck, get yourself a grun. and you might want to try waxed rubber gloves as the bitumen don't stick the them.
      oh and its not sacrificial its called a salvage edge.

      Cheers 🖒 You are right I should use primer on the arris but I asked for some but they said it would be ok so I make sure the wood is nicely chard so the oils come out a bit. The felt is 4mm so it gives me a bit of bitchy to play with.

    • @jacklangdon4426
      @jacklangdon4426 2 года назад +2

      Old torch on APP felt let you do that with damping down bleed lines. New torch on felt is rubberised and a lot more adhesive than previous products. Under manufacturers requirements a bleed is required to prove sufficient adhesion. No way of removing bleed lines without damaging material or compromising seal.
