Good job, but to keep a straight line all you have to do. Is place a ridge tile at the top and one at the bottom eye them up make a mark top and bottom then strike a line. Still every one to their own

Gotta love us British and our measuring techniques... " leaving a 10mm gap, call it 15 inches!" Top job!!

I know nothing about roofing or laying hips but the extra effort you go through to ensure that the job is a good one, but also aesthetically pleasing is refreshing to see. The devil is in the detail & it’s the finishing touches that make the job. You are a credit to your industry. Wish you all the success you deserve. Nice one.

Hi thanks for your kind words all the best Tony 👍 have a awesome weekend

I do small ridge and hip repairs in my property maintenance work and the reason I feel more confident is watching Will’s videos.

I have been a slater,,,roofer ,,,,for 45 years and ran 100s if not 1000s of hips up and it’s great to see someone who can put a roof on without those dry ridge systems ,most people who call thereselfs roofer these days would be baffled doing it the proper way,,great job guys

I'm an ex roofer, leadman for the last 20 years, I know an old boy who cuts his to ridge on the deck never on the roof and every time it's bang on, asked him a few times how he does it he just winks at me and smiles. Shame he's retiring soon best roofer I've ever seen and I've seen a lot. Top job by the way 👏 👌

I've got to say will I've learned so much from watching you work... You have a great teaching method and extremely clear and concise. I look forward to more from you. Thanks A&E team. 👍👌

The simple fact that you re-cut the ridge tile so your margins are correct at the meeting point tells me one specific thing your an excellent tradesman and even though nobody will see but you means you care bout your work and your customers project this is a great video and your setting a great example for the younger tradesmen out there and more importantly young Ricky who's with you, it was a joy to watch this, I'm a roofer myself and I like attention to detail people god knows we have plenty of cowboys going around the place ... glad I found your channel sub now too, all the best you ll never be out of work and take care..

Thanks. This has given me the confidence to relay some ridge tiles that have become dislodged during storm Arwen. Quality tutorial from a true craftsman !

I'm just about to have some ridge work done. To be able to see this not only helps me see the process but fully appreciate the skill involved - and why the cost is what it is. Brilliant video and your teaching skills are excellent (I'm involved in learning). Thank you

This was a bit long video but well worth it. I am attempting to do my tile roof ridge, you covered everything and made it look easy enough to try. I really love the attention to detail. Thank you!

Just about to do our hipped dormer, ran out of summer and the local guys can’t do it until November so I’m tackling it myself - thank you so much for these videos, you’ve made this really straightforward!

Nice neat job guys. We always use a t&g board as a guide. Just sit your side of the ridge on the tonge and then remove the board when you have bedded the last 1 then point up.

Much appreciated Bob! Have a lovely weekend 👍

I’ve not seen it done like that before with a scaffolding board secured to the scaffolding. Always interesting to see how others do it. I use a ridge runner which is adjustable to accommodate any type of ridge and supports your muck on both sides of the hip. It also is self supporting and just sits on the hip without any need to brace it. We tend to use remix if doing muck work as it knocks up a lovely drop of gear and it’s consistent every time without need for febmix. Having said all this, we rarely even do muck work on roofs these days unless they are repairs or on very old buildings. It’s usually dry ridge system, which is designed for ventilation and the mechanical fixings provide a much more permanent solution and never a need to worry about cracking muck work. And apart from anything else it’s ten times as quick. Still have to point tour starter and your mitres but it’s lot easier screwing a ridge down than it is to bed it on muck. One thing I will say though is the dry ridge system is not great on deep profile tiles like mendips or pantiles but work a treat with plain tiles slates and stonewolds. I’m guessing you do all your perimeters in muck work. Again, valleys and gables in dry systems are super quick and look pretty too. I wonder if u use segmental ridge all over or do u use 1/3 round on the hips to avoid that top ridge swinging up where it meets the mitre? I like the fact that u keep your tile cuts central to the hip and so avoid muck spilling into the roof void. The amateur wouldn’t appreciate that would cause water ingress. They think that so long as it’s under the ridge tile that it doesn’t matter but I’ve seen the hip rafter start to rot out due to muck having spilt into the central void. I’ve often wondered what that fake muck is like. That stuff you buy in premixed bags. Really weird gruff. It looks like plasticine and is supposed to be completely waterproof and permanent. I’d love to try it but it’s well expensive. Well u bedded a nice tidy hip. I didn’t see the mitre but I’m guessing u got that looking good too. I’ll come and do some work with u if u fancy it and exchange ideas and techniques. I have no labourers at present so I’m finding it hard working alone. Roofing is. Or a one man job, eh? Good work fellas.

I just finished tiling a my roof before I got to Spain to escape the lockdown was dreading going back to do the ridges ,valleys and hips but thanks to your excellent video will I am almost looking forward to it as the other guy said robin clevet and yourself are doing great helpful vids
