    No no no no! wtf you put a half round ridge up your roof!!! How ugly, spoils everything, put a secret gutter in!! Spoils the whole roof that for me. I’m a fully qualified roofer, and the rest of it looks ok but unless you live in wales you don’t run a ridge up your roof ! 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

    I am Puzzled by the hip tile up the roof, is that a local to you sort of thing?

    Just subbed. I am a bricklayer by trade but we did get taught the basics of leadwork during our apprenticeship in the eighties. Lovely to watch you work, I remember being taught how to stretch and shrink lead a little. Looking forward to learning more now.

    Hey Stuart nice looking Roof. Are the tiles made of concrete? Are you nailing each tile into the battens or do some hook over the corresponding batten. I’ve done 1 ceramic tile roof here in Massachusetts where I live and we fastened it with stainless screws, leaving some play for the material to move.

    could have just copied next doors gauge and the tiles would meet up, I personally use an eave batten at the top, flipped 90 degrees, still, looks suberb and that roof will easily see you out! top job.

    Lovely job, stuart. i can see why you put ridges up next door, so you can keep your 100mm gauge to the top, i like third round hips better. The only thing i would change is the sweeping hip, i would use 10mm laths to bring the tile of the membrane only concrete tiles will transfer moisture onto the membrane, the old felt was most likely bitumen based so probably works better if you need to nail directly to the board.

  • @roygalley1009

    I've replaced countless hip joints like this where the muck fails after a few years and due to the tiles being flat, as you know with your laps on lead, water works it's way sideways as it goes down the roof. A bonding gutter, bonding tray, or even better, running through off of nextdoors tile courses as its the same tile!! I hate to be negative, I've almost deleted this a few times as You’ve been so helpful during my lead journey over the last 3 years , but it's a shoddy way to have joined to next doors. Unless there is some kind of secret gutter underneath it, too?

  • @slbleadworks
    @slbleadworksКүн бұрын

    Hi Roy to be honest I’ve had a few comments about this joint from other subscribers too. I was in the hands of my tiler and this is the way he’s done it. I trust him and I know he does a good job and is very neat and tidy too. We go back a long way. I’ve done his lead work for the last 15 years. But all of these comments have got me thinking maybe the bonding tray would have been a better solution.

    Really enjoyed that mate. Just did my first run of lead flashing on a lean to roof, as my lead man left me in the lurch, and it came out well. There was a mention of tallow in the comments. It’s an American work for rendered beef fat, we call it dripping in England. I can’t imagine why you’d use it for anything on a building site apart from a nice bit of fried bread.

    hobbyweld make quick release couplings for gases. no more undoing nuts and loosing gas each time. buy extra and can swap between long or short hose setup. personally i like the other comment use small propane and rent free oxygen setup.

    If you push your weight on a large dresser and iron out the lead you don’t leave loads of imprints by keep tapping the lead with dresser , also using a bit of lightning conductor is good for creating welted seams

    Hi Stuart, enjoying your videos so much I thought it would be a good idea to get a portapack with the O torch to get a consistent flame for all the reasons you say, but just got a quote from BOC that means paying roughly £20 a month just to rent gas bottles - which makes no sense if I only use it occasionally to weld lead - so the alternative appears to be disposable gas bottles with a cheaper torch.. what's your view of the cheaper kits, or is there a way to own your own bottles and get them refilled when necessary, or will BOC not allow that? If anyone else has a solution would be pleased to hear it. Thanks.
