Exactly. Hard to find these days.

It was actually satisfying watching this video of professionals taking pride in their work and showing how its done properly. Alot of respect for the amount of work that goes into a proper roofing job.

Not only clearly a very professional company doing a proper job, but made it interesting and engaging throughout, great work

I've watched this series several times now. Having a roof replaced soon, really valuable seeing the stages. Thanks for capturing it, great work.

Great Video Tony, its always a pleasure to watch Wills and the teams work with roofing and also helpful.

Nice work, gentlemen. I was surprised you didn't use contra laths / cross laths (I don't know how to espress it in English, because it's not my native language). I used to be roofer myself for three years and everytime we started nailing contra lath on the roof membrane to create ventilation gaps between roof membrane and the horizontal laths holding the tiles.

Hi all at A&E when laying out the roof battens do you have to work it out from the bottom or in the case of the back of the chimney, as seem's to be done here?

Good job on the video and great work on the roof to!

Hey will can I ask u a quick question I'm in ireland n we dnt do clay tiles or valleys like that over hear at all,do u line out the roof for the tiles vertically or just just lay as u go

Hey, great work, I have a question, if u can help, can you build a wood structure on a flat concrete roof, thx

Like a work of art.

I am not a roofer. Actually, I’m afraid of heights and so this would definitely be the wrong career choice for me… I don’t know the first thing about roofing. However, thanks to the KZread algorithm, this has come up in my suggestions at nearly half past midnight and it’s really quite satisfying to watch😁😁 nice roof😀

Wills a legend love your videos mate always well explained real professional. Why did you paint the rafter feet black btw they on show? Would of been great to see the whole set up marking out the battens and setting up 1st rows but I know you boys are busy appreciate all you same 👍🏽

At 8:20 no commentary, but noticed he puts in double layer of tiles probably to lift the final tile above the gutter. The underside has a batten fixed just under the last batten and has a tile cut and nailed to match the tile length above it. Starts with a tile and half from the hip up to the valley with a 45 degree cut to meet the tile on the other side. All are then covered by the last tile above. Membrane is over hanging but with eaves support tray can be cut flush with last tile to prevent UV degradation. The tray will deliver the rainwater into the gutter.

That's brilliant work. How much does it cost for a job this size in uk??

Isn't there supposed to be a minimum of a 10mm sag on the felt between rafters on an unsupported roof?

What's the rule on nailing, tiles which interlock, is it every other row?

How do you clean heavy concrete dust all over entire newly fitted tile roof as just now it’s light grey looking and I’ve been told rain will wash this away but I’ve hosed it and still looks chalky grey ( not nice) appreciate any information

Will is clearly a great roofer, and great in front of the camera.🤩 I've got a great tip for cutting those rafter feet, super accurate and super fast.👊 I liked the, 'chop, chop lads', getting the roof covered back in quick after it had been exposed.😃 Great stuff as always.

@@martinbrice9802 Hi Martin. Line up all, (or 20 at a time), the lengths of timber that have been cut to the desired length. (looked about 600mm in the video). Then stack them tightly together, (the widest dimension vertically), on that lovely flat work bench by screwing the end two down into the bench. (you could also drive some wedges in between one of these to really pack all the others in tight, or a pair of long sash clamps would be idea) Now, pressuming that the bench is nice and flat, (if its not you could run battenes under each edge, not dissimilar to the jig in the video), and the timber is all the same size, you then mark your birdsmouth position on each end one and draw this line across the top of all of the stacked pieces. Now you set your circular saw to the pitch of the roof and its depth to the depth of the plumb cut, and just run it down one of the lines. Now set the saw to the seat cut, and its depth, and run it down the other line. BOOM. What you end up with is a load of stacked lengths of timber with a groove cut through them.😎 A 45 degree roof be the easiest, and this method would be limited to maximum angle your saw could be set to. (most saws now go over to 55 dgrees, so this would work with pitches down to 35 degrees). Super fast and super accurate.👍 I hope I've made sense.

I was quoted for a reroof of a detached standard 3 bed house.. 7,500 euro ...membrane batton and slate included. How much abouts does a roofer make on a job like this.?

During that time it was not allowed for me to go on the roof. After the 2 weeks I was a helper for a few months and they let me go on the roof. Now I'm in training. So it was just for my internship. The only reason why I was not allowed on the roof was because I had no accident insurance which is a must have. Otherwise you are mostly useless when you're not on the roof.

What would have been useful is to name the products used, the type, sizes etc. How do you pick the distance between the lateral wood pieces? Is there a particular type of wood used? How is this related to tile size? I saw a house roof being done recently and they used the grey roof fabric but they overlaid a blue layer on top of this, any idea what this was and why it was used?
