Nice video. This is the difference between the tear down and build new in the US and buildings that are around for hundreds of years, quality of work... Awesome how to demo thanks for posting
I have some to do ,and needed to refresh myself on stepflashing i knew the basic ,but have not done it for many years and now ime building a conservatory,and will have to stepflash the pitch and an apron acrros the top ,many thanks loved it.
@Sweetdreamsprelude Hi Thanks for your comments. We do use the method you describe and it is less likley to have problems. But step flashing is traditional and in some cases it provides THE LOOK clients like.
not fancy but functional, one thing though if you,ve got your disc cutter out you might aswell cut a decent sized joint out instead of a thin cut that you cant point up very well.
The leak point is very close to where the lead slides into the masonry at the tip of those ugly triangles. Why not have the step go vertically down subsequently overlapping the leak point a couple inches. Man that looks ugly.
excellent video, did you do your own lead welding ? I need to do one of these soon and ive not done on in years, this has been a very good reminder , thank you for your time.
Never seen a cover flashing g on a chimney front apron,what's the point, the turn into the brickwork joint should be part of the front apron, check out the Lead Sheet Association guidance manuals, also the the front turn on the step flashing should be an angled cut not straight down
This guy is clearly a proper craftsman. I never understood why the returns are cut back so sharply toward the water line instead of vertically down to the next step. Seems it’s just aesthetics. Also never understood why uk step flashing doesn’t incorporate a bend/cover flash over the closest tiles. Surely that would stop the soakers underneath working as hard?
Cover flashing onto flat tiles or slates will allow driving rain to ingress. The soakers are vital to the weatherproofing process and must be correctly fitted. Sorry but this gentleman is no craftsman and is bungling the job. Do not follow the example he is showing here, consult the British Lead Association for proper and correct information and guidelines, as this sort of thing is skilled work, not to be undertaken by amateurs.
Thank you, If you can help, I wish to promote Just Lead as we make and deliver sheet lead items through out the UK. www.justlead.co.uk. this link willl show the products we make.
Wonderful job, but this would never work in the U.S. We do not have enough time to do it right. Our time is too valuable. No one would pay the correct amount to flash a chimney according to the way this guy did it.
Instead of cutting each joint up the side cut a solid channel through the brick at an angle up the side of the chimney for your step flashing cover.will make a much neater job
mike harris You’re wrong there mate. This video is 100% correct. In very exposed situations the flashings should be cut individually and lapped over one another as they progress up the stack.
Why don't u chalk each row of lead before u put in the next one I don't like how u cut the lead on an angle ether u just off material that u could have had for covered
well whats the point spending more money whe u can just spend less money and save time.. see u cowboys dont know anything til u learn from a proper pro like me

Hi
Thanks for your comments. We do use the method you describe and it is less likley to have problems. But step flashing is traditional and in some cases it provides THE LOOK clients like.
Yeah i thought exactly that. I normally weld that corner for an extra bit of weather protection. pretty good for diyers to get the gist though.
thanks very much for sharing and in such details. it really pays to build things properly with good workmanship.
I like the steeper steps, a lovely job sir
not fancy but functional, one thing though if you,ve got your disc cutter out you might aswell cut a decent sized joint out instead of a thin cut that you cant point up very well.
Most cuts are a 1/4 and get silicone, don't want the joint open to much cause then your asking for a leak, and cement doesn't adhere to metal
Great video - I'd watch using lead and copper nails because of galvanic corrosion though...
The leak point is very close to where the lead slides into the masonry at the tip of those ugly triangles. Why not have the step go vertically down subsequently overlapping the leak point a couple inches. Man that looks ugly.
I'm wondering, how much is a job like that because I need it at my place
Awesome. Well explained and well executed..
Hi. Its a flat lead dresser. Readily available on Ebay uk Good Luck
excellent video, did you do your own lead welding ?
I need to do one of these soon and ive not done on in years, this has been a very good reminder , thank you for your time.
Sorry for delay. If your a bit stuck get hold of Just Lead we can chat you through it and supply if needed.
@@justlead1 do you ship to the USA?
But dose it really work

@tippa2kk
Do not understand the question?
Great presentation.

Everyone say you are great flasher
Just Lead Love flashing
5:49 should of been a strait cut (confusing camera angle) then nip the right hand side of the fold @ a 45d angle.
its good, but not perfect.
why not just like wack some fuckin cement in the corner to stop the water gettin through
Why don't u chalk each row of lead before u put in the next one I don't like how u cut the lead on an angle ether u just off material that u could have had for covered
That is a terrible way to counterflash. It is not water tight. Wind blown rain gets in at every course.
pants
well whats the point spending more money whe u can just spend less money and save time.. see u cowboys dont know anything til u learn from a proper pro like me
tinman how can u not no what a lead dresser is?
But you dont use lead 2011. Not very environmentally friendly! :(
look this vid : "THE REAL ROOFER "
click on the first vid
thats quality
You wanna know how to do a job? Listen to a brit!
This may seem like legit lead work to people that haven’t done it, but this is a very bad way of doing a simple lead flashing.
