Thanks for the video Ultimate ..... I am trying to gain some tips on replacing some roof tiles. My roof tiles are bedded with mortar. Have you done any videos where you replace the tiles using mortar as a securing agent. I have a hip that needs attention. I was thinking of removing all the tiles and batons then putting down a felt layer first .... any suggestions?

Is it even worth pointing if the tiles overhang the valley by a long way?? I mean...they're bedded in mortar, but it was done as the tiles were laid, so it's way up under there. I don't see the point in pointing it

Can you please make a video on how to remove nails from floorboards. I have got long nails embedded deep into floorboards and they are hard to get out without damaging the board. So if you could do a video about that or give any advice that would be nice. maybe how to get the nail heads out so you can pull them out with crowbar/hammer?

@ultimatehandyman

+The Hitman This might help- kzread.info/dash/bejne/iaCXo7eOaK2vlNo.html Unfortunately the nails do make a mess of the boards, but once the board is removed you can straighten the nails and knock them out and then pull them from the opposite side.

I tried lifting them but the floorboards are old and weak and that's why whenever i pull them they break from where the nails are thats how deep the nails are embedded.

Thanks, i'll try that.

Good video, but I must point out that metals like lead expand and contract much more than cement, so bodies like the Lead Sheet Association and NHBC recommend placing tile slips (or some other slip membrane) between the cement and lead (easier said than done though!). But of course using fibres in the mix should minimise the eventual cracking and loosening of the pointing.

+Benzknees Thanks, a few people recommended a GRP valley, but that was too much work.Hopefully the mortar will last. It has to be better than it was!Thanks for the comment

@Benzknees

+Ultimate Handyman That valley's a lot, lot better than it was! Compared to most repointing jobs, that'll probably last 2-3 times as long. As for GRP, whilst it's pretty much taken over from lead on new builds, due to cost, ease of handling, being preformed & quick to install and not needing specialised skills, it has a shorter lifespan (c.25-30 yrs v 40-60 yrs), and is more prone to cracking/edge splitting if roughly handled/walked on (as often happens on construction sites!). And, as you say, installing it on an existing roof is a much bigger job (and often exposes other problems like damaged tiles, rotting underfelt & batten ends!).

+Benzknees not needing skills? First you need to batten the roof correctly so the fg valleys fits and you need to cut and point the valley. Plenty of skill needed there my friend

@Benzknees

8 жыл бұрын

+Pete's Back Garden The words I used were "specialised skills" not "skills". Leadwork is specialised and traditionally not something within the skill level of a roofer, instead being done by a specialist plumber. Setting out battens and valley boarding is well within the ordinary skill level of any roofer. Please read and try to understand before making a comment.

I actually went on the garage roof a few months back, only to replace one tile. I didn't realise that it's slightly steeper than the house (I can walk on the house if I'm careful- I kind of walk like a ballet dancer), It was only a 5 minute job so used the ladder and almost slipped as the tiles are granular. I would probably only of broken something but hitting concrete pavers even from just 8 feet could have left me unable to work for a while or worse!
