I was working on a house this week (i'm a tiler) and got the opportunity to watch a chippie construct a complex looking roof. Loads of angles (sorry, i don't know what type of roof it's called!) and a huge pile of timber. The chippie spent time, pen and paper, working out angles etc before he got cracking. It actually was a joy to watch this man. Every cut he done was tight and perfect, and he took pride. And it was raining poor sod! One thing i did notice about this gentleman was that after complementing him, how self deprecating he was, only considering himself a 'workman'. He was extremely skilled and proud of his work but kept putting himself down. I told him he's not 'just a workman' but a skilled tradesman. Great vid by the way chaps.
That is exactly the attitude of a true craftsman. The skills are not their invention, they are learned, refined and passed on.
This is what they should explain in maths. My maths is poor, I don't build roofs but I still believe it would make it more interesting for kids to show them where, what appears pointless but isn't, their maths would be used. "Want to build roofs? This is why you need this, it will help you work out the angles". "Want to do gaming programming? This bit of maths will help with that". And so on.
You really make a good point i used to ask my teacher where would you use algebra etc and their reply wad its in the silibus just do it. Wasnt being cheeky just wanted to try and understand how some of the maths would help feel i missed out. These videos really help
Can you honestly say that when you were 14 you would have done better in maths if the teacher was telling you how to build a roof?
You were taught about shapes in nursery, door =rectangle, roof=triangle, ball=circle,
The information provided by schools is vast, it's up to you to listen, it's all there on a plate, and for free!
YOU are responsible for your education.
Stop blaming others for your ignorance!
The fact that you posted a comment proves you have access to the internet, the knowledge of billions of people at your fingertips! And you use it to blame the people who dedicate their lives to giving you the best possible start in life because they didn't tailor ever lesson to you?
Take responsibility for your own life,
To sally. When i left school i didnt have the internet myself showing my age. I was good with my maths overall but struggled with things such as algebra and trigonometry. Yes im fully aware im responsible for my education. I am due to do a part time carpentry course on my days off work to try and imrove myself so yes aware regarding education. It wasnt meant to sound like blaming someone just stating its part of maths i struggle with. Mind you i may of struggled with part of my maths but always had manners maybe you was just good at maths
@@sally6457 wow! You’re a rude cow aren’t you? A man has made a comment on how he wishes that his teacher had related such maths materials to functionality of life and YOU berate him for making a valid comment. Did you go to school with him? I take it you’ve grown up with the internet- I hate to be the bearer of bad news BUT the internet hasn’t been around since the dawn of time. Maybe YOU need to be responsible for your education and actually realise that everyone was not born in the internet age, not everyone had a fantastic education and not everyone had the support to learn. Open your eyes and appreciate that people have different needs.

@@Ultimate-roofing-square. 😏🤣🧱👍🏽
As has already been explained. If you work to the height above plate then the hipboard will always hit the wall plate corner but the soffit width will need to change to keep the facia height. If you keep the soffit and facia the same and set out from the top edge of end of overhang then 1) the hipboard will not intersect the wallplate corner and 2) you may have to pack up the wallplate to pick up the bearing on the steeper pitch.
This helped me a lot, thank you and Skillbuilder (team)
I’ll probably never fit a roof but I love these videos and Dan is brilliant. I’m going to have to put a pitched roof over my wheelie bins or back porch in recognition of these brilliant videos 😂. Great job guys 👌🏼🏴👍🏼
Thanks Rob. Go on, pitch a roof for the bins..
@@Ultimate-roofing-square. .
No mention about dropping the hip or diahedral angle ? Would be great if Robin or Dan went into some detail about this in a hip video !!
I don’t usually put a dihedral angle on a 45 mm hip. Check out the other video on Skill Builder where James and I do put a dihedral angle on a wider hip. Thanks
@@Ultimate-roofing-square.so for the hip angle at the top did you keep it 38 one side and other 52 same as the different rafter pitches and 18 for the plumb cut if that makes sense
@@Sherlockly yes.. I cut the 38 degree one first, then went square off that to get the 52.
Had a bad roof recently, new build to existing had 50mm out parallel to plates and 60mm out from gable to gable, getting over it with wood is easy compared to running roof tiles to catch up especially with 3 velux windows!
Top job though lads, never get tired of watching roofs being cut.
Dan knows his stuff alright. What a great addition to the team 💪
Thanks. 👍🏻
@@Ultimate-roofing-square. hi Dan,
How did you get the plumb cut on the hip as 18degress? If the commons are 22 degrees doesn’t the hip plumb cut come in at about 16 degrees? Thanks
Hi @@jaser461986 , one side was 22 degrees but the other was different. I measured from the corner of the wall plate ( where the hip sits) on the diagonal to plumb down from where both ridges meet. Then the height above the wall plate to top of ridge, then used trigonometry to get the pitch. We did film a different method however due to the rain it wasn’t added.
Loved the camera shot of the rafters lining up with the hip rafter 👌
Thank you I was also pleased with it

Donuts would have gone down nice with a hot coffee.
Thanks Daniel.
So if it’s 38 one side and 52 the other, I guess that means that is applied to the top plumb cut of the hip also? 38/52 instead of your usual 45/45?
Amazing to watch as always! The knowledge is inspiring!
I believe it's 18 degrees for the plum cut and the top cut like you said it's 38/52 instead of 45/45
I’m sure this man could have easily afforded a rain day but wants to get it done
I remember the first time I come across a hip roof like this took me a little while to work it out as I was never shown how to do it or if I was I wasn't paying attention, just a suggestion for another video how about an up and over roof with 2 different wall plate heights this was another one that got my head scratching for a few minutes
As always another great video, keep them coming
Love watching u guys cut in roofs, great job keep the videos coming 💪🏻
I'm sure these fellas are booked solid.
Glorious stuff. If these guys were in charge of the country we would all be better off because the don't cause problems, they solve them. They get the job done and done properly.
At 4:50 Dan is about to explain how he checks the hip is correct but the video edit cuts it out. It looks like he is going to use that bit of timber cut to 127mm to check. Does he use that to sit the hip above the plate and scribe it in? I'd be interested to see that bit of footage or have it explained. Thanks in advance.
Hi Josh
You are completely right and I have looked for that bit of footage to understand why it wasn't use. There was a big rain drop on the lens and it went out of focus. We will get Dan to show it as a two minute tip.
That's great, thanks for your reply.

Clever bloke.
Perfect, I asked for this a while back and you have finally done it. Bravo 👏
Glad you like it! I think there will be a lot of lively debate on this one
Thanks Keir.
What a very clever guy. And a joy to listen to. Good to see him teaching the very knowledgable Roger Bisby a few things!!👍🏻🙂
Mad skills mate. Absolutely brilliant 👏
Is both roof pitches minimal to not affect soffit widths to much?
Generally on a bastard hipped roof, steeper pitch roof plate has to be higher to compensate for degree difference.
In this instance the pitches are not that much apart to affect this detail. Looks that way.
If anyone is interested a book called the “roofers bible” from America explains irregular pitch roof in great detail.
This is what I ordered to get some insight when I was doing my time.
A string line is always a very important part of a carpenters arsenal. Always will be. Only tool that can give you a true trajectory of a timber in roofing.
Great content as always. Well done lads.
100% true, really need to be careful if it was on front of House
ive had a roof like that when set out on plan using software hip sometimes does not run into the corner of the building also done splayed corners , which me and many a good roofer have scratched heads over , Ive found the roof framing software on cheif architect
amazing for finding hip and valley runs draw any wall layout , software will try to design roof layout
I believe if you have two different pitches and you have kept the HAP ( height above plate) the same on either side of the hip, then I’m afraid you will have conflicting fascia heights as you turn the corner. I would of looked at specified measurements where the fascia lines are to meet on the outside corner thus giving you the correct striking line as to where your hip should of fell on wall plates. It’s hard to explain but the true line of the hip is where there fascia corner is.
That’s right. When the hip changes on the corner of the plate the go to point is the fascia hip plumb cut. Otherwise you end up bolting on scabs of timber on the side of the hip to make up the corner difference.
Which is not right. Generally the span on the steeper side is narrower than the true overall span on the shallower side.
I do think that the run measurements from wall to plate were so minimal that you probably hardly notice it.
Explaining offsets of hips and varying plate heights would of baffled most.
Maybe that is why they call it a bastard
@@SkillBuilder exactly that!😉
Proper professional at work. A great example to show off the intelligence, knowledge and creativity of trade workers.
Love these videos. Dad was in the trade and I loved going on jobs with him as a teenager. I ended up as a software developer and have been stuck at home staring at my laptop for the past year. Working outside, even in the wet and cold actually *making* something is starting to look very attractive!
The grass is always greener! Just remember in England the grass is also constantly wet and muddy, and you have to buy your own lawnmower to cut other people's grass,
Stick with software, and build a shed!
@@sally6457 ☺️ There speaks the voice of experience. It's not an easy life, that much I know - part of the reason I didn't follow in his footsteps!
It's not easy at all.
These videos make it seem like you just have to learn abit of basic trigonometry and buy few powertools and everything falls into place.
(Which I did, so I know it doesnt work like that)
It would be nice if it was the case.
But 99% out a hundred, there's tonnes of factors to take into consideration.
The building isn't square, the plates aren't level, the timber isn't square or straight, the pitch of the original roof varies because its old and rafters begin to sag...
It would be bloody lovely if I could just take a few measurements from the plates, go down to my saw and pile of timber, use the ready reckoner/rafter scales and cut everything on the ground, carry it up and fit it together.
If your plates are even 5mm out of square then nothing will work perfectly.
You might be able to twist a few bits in here or there but eventually you'll end up having to recut things at a slightly different pitch or length.
Which wastes materials and time and ultimately costs you money.
Bricklayers lay the plates usually.
Their tolerance is 8mm in or out.
Usually alot more coz they know nobody is checking that thoroughly on private work.
Plus, bedding timber on cement is a stupid idea in my opinion
But nobody want to pay for a chippy to come set the plates properly with wedges and mechanical fixings
Certainly not the brickies if it will highlight how out of square the whole extention has been built.
But to be fair, I couldnt imagine doing anything else.
I love cutting in roofs.
I’m a plumber by trade and always wanted to be a roofer, nothing is more rewarding when you look back and say I did that. Geometry can be head scratching for most of us
Pleasure to watch a craftsmen at work.👌
Your videos are just excellent, thanks! By the way... I commented on a previous vid of yours relating to stormdry cream. Since then I've had an interesting experience. I was trying to prevent drainage through jointing compound into under street cellars opposite a lower ground. After jointing them with a sika jointing compound, I used Resiblock paving sealant over 90% the pavers and joints. Then I thought to try the Stormdry cream on the joints, to help seal them completely, in the "water off a duck's back" way I mentioned in my earlier comment. I used the stormdry cream on half the paving joints... and what happened was extraordinary... on testing, the water, which had barely been sinking through the jointing compound after application of resiblock... suddenly started to disappear MUCH FASTER than EITHER the areas treated with both, OR the untreated jointing compound! So I was trying to figure out why when my best mate, who is much better at chemistry than I am, suggested the following which makes sense to me, and since you are a science oriented kinda guy, you might find interesting: the stormdry likely works by a chemistry that exploits a molecule with a hydrophobic and hydrophilic orientation, so one side attracts water, the other side repels it. LIkely there is a rather similar chemistry in the resiblock. So when I painted the stormdy on top of the resiblock... instead of the hydrophilic side sticking DOWN onto the grains of sand, and the hydrophobic sticking UP, the opposite happened. THe hydrophobid bonded to the hydrophobic, leaving the stormdry ass-backwards which instead of turning it into a hydrophobic duck's back, turned it into a wetting agent/wicking compound. Anyhow, thought you might find that interesting. GREAT channel, mate!
This is fun to watch
I use my calculator because it’s faster
But this is how I learned how to frame cut up roofs
Nice one, I have done a lot of these, but set them out from back of fascia to keep bell cast on the tiles the same.
Love the video, love the background music 0:50
Nice roof, get a scaffold up though so much easier.
I did one recently like this but also had different height on wall plate on either side by approx 100mm. It did throw the hip off the corner a good bit which looked very odd. Took a good bit of head scratching to get it right I can tell you. Hip was 6m long so would've been expensive one to redo if wrong.
Nice head scratcher. 👍🏻
Me too and I’m 74 , always recognise a craftsman at work.
Good job Dan and nice to see the top plate under the rafters and a birdsmouth taking the load.
We did set it up so it was the same birdsmouth as where it is fixed to the pole plate.
Thanks Jim.
Does this apply to valley rafters as well ?
Lovely setup of tools going on here 🙌
Long time no see. hope you are well
@@SkillBuilder ah thanks mate, still always watching 👍🏼 met Dan and robin clevett last Friday at toolfair 👍🏼👍🏼

I love watching these videos, I've great respect for these lads. Hard grafters cutting rafters in the pouring rain too.
Thanks Derek. We was lucky to cut inside so just quick in and out to pitch it.
Not a dig, just intrigued. How come you’ve birdsmouthed over the the top plate? If it was an up and over roof you wouldn’t do that on the ridge?
The great chap I was working with, Aaron , wanted it birdsmouth over the top ridge as he’s had problems before with local inspectors. Personally I usually just have a full plumb cut against the ridge.
Just a quick one, have done many bastard hips before and I always pull a string line down through the corner of the brickwork and NOT the corner of the wall plates. (The true corner of the build?!) Therefore the hip rafter won’t sit in the corner of the wall plates it will be slightly to one side, giving a different HAP on both pitches (assuming both wall plates have been fixed down the same dimension from the face brickwork) I can’t see how Dan has managed to keep the HAP the same on both sides....with the hip NOT coming down at 45degrees in plan to a 90degree corner it’s surly impossible that both sides of the hips birds mouth end up with the same HAP?? Love that roofing square Dan, great bit of kit
Hi Shaun,
We had some scope of where the pole plates went. They only went in to get over the metal RSJ.
There was approximately 6 degrees different so we set the rafters up with the same HAP.
With the roofing squares it was easier to set up.
Beautiful work and outstanding craftsmanship. What a great video- thanks!
Thanks Steve. Very grateful to Skill Builder to be able to share my work.
I like your tool belt what's it called

My vote goes for *SELF-LAYING-BRICKS*
Proper chippy 👌
Given the height above plate was the same for both roofs at the birds mouth - won’t the eaves height be different at the toe of the rafter? I.e the fascia heights will be different?
The fascia heights were the same, however the soffit was different widths.

A true British tradesman - working through a heavy shower……….
Looks great , do you end up with a difference in height with the soffits because one side is steeper than the other ?
By keeping the HAP (height above plate) the same then the fascia will end up the same, but you are right in thinking the soffits will be different depths because the shallower pitched roof has further to travel, i've done a number of irregular hipped roofs and they are a pain!
No, not on this roof. The soffit was different widths tho.
Thanks.
@@RobNorman08 they sure are a pain.. 👍🏻
@@Ultimate-roofing-square. did one side of the Jack rafters have to be cut by hand because of the angle on the splay cut ?
@@billydickson1521 I was lucky as one side was 52 degrees and the de Walt saw went over to that.

Would like to see you do a inverted hip. Not a video on RUclips. Hard
Thank goodness for experience. Great job 👏
Great to see you back, but what a bastard job you've picked, that opposite figure is that the rise from wallplate to birdsmouth, also how did you work out the splay cuts on those Jack's ? Was that with the iPad.
Hi Kevin, the opposite measurement is the rise from the wall plate. I measured to the top of ridge then subtracted the hight above plate at the birdsmouth.
To get the splay cuts I pulled the line and marked it in the wall plate. Usually it’s 45, however this one when measured with my speed square it was 38 degrees one side and 52 on the other.
Lucky Aaron’s Skill saw went over to 52 degrees, the other I cut on the chop saw.
Thanks for watching.
@@Ultimate-roofing-square. Thanks for that, looking forward to seeing you again soon
@@amazing451 no problem Kevin. Roger did film it all however I think the rain got in the way..

all jobs are a Bastard when yer miss with the hammer, and hit the thumb!
Could you askeyerman please, how often does he make an error where a bit of wood is to short or angle wrong? I need a refrence to measure how dumb i should feel. A dumbbob?
If in doubt, lay the timber in place, roughly Mark, and cut a little at a time,
String lines are really helpful.
Take the time to look at any and ALL planning/construction drawings. There's alot of detail you can use such as measuring angles Ang rough lengths (don't be scared of using a ruler and pencil to extend the drawing lines to help get more accurate measurements)

Just curious... because Height above plate was kept equal, but roof was at different pitches on each side of the hip, what did that do to the soffit/facia line? Was it an unequal overhang on either side of the building?? I've never managed to get a hip blade to go through the corner of the wall plates on an irregular hip and keep facia/soffit equal on both sides.
I think the soffit has to be wider on one side
Brilliant video cheers
