Leadwork Tutorial (step flashing porch) 

Hall clips are great, I was taught with lead plugs. Well done for having a go.

Thank you brother

Good man well done you. How did the flashing come out

Thanks again geezer

Thank you Peter for taking the time to write a comment.

Hi yes i no what u mean. That must of took ages

Thanks for your comment. We use lead sheet sealant not mortar. It miles better

Thanks mark 👍🏼

To be honest, it will all dull down to grey any way

Thankyou

I dont like grinding to far when i use lead sheet sealant. I find it easier to mark the grind line when you lay the lead up the roof. The lab can cut and bend it while im grinding

😂😂 cheers simon Cowell 👍🏼

😂😂

water line depends on tiles used and its only dust the rain will sort it

Yes peal back 500mm. Get that stuck, then roll it back over the bit you stuck and remove the film as you roll out.

@@pauljamieconstruction1871 Thanks Paul 😊

it would on new build, most extensions or older building it won't happen. Cost

Hi Richard, on render just mark your height top and bottom, ping a line or draw with pencil, we use 2 blades in a 4" grinder

@@pauljamieconstruction1871 Paul ,Thanks for your reply . I have a water leak along the flashing it's a bit of a nightmare . . Should've tackled it in better weather . I'm going to get a soaker ,as the bottom flash isn't doing it's Job. Hopefully it'll be successful.. I'm not a roofer ,as you've most probably guessed by now .

@@richardevans3253 what tiles are they? And is it the same this or running horizontal

@@pauljamieconstruction1871 yes ,it's the same more or less than the roof you were on .The tiles clay & are 10 1/2 inch x 6 1/2 inch . .I don't know ,if they'll sit on top of a soaker. .

...as the roof you were on ,I meant to say

You need to step and cover flashing or a secret gutter.

What a wonderfull comment thank you. Unfortunately sometimes people dont supply a scaffold, so instead of moaning we just get it done

@@pauljamieconstruction1871 Spot on pal, been there a few times myself and retired now. Got to say though your work is great and nice to see a bit of pride took in the job as well just getting on with it. I bought a small amount of scaffolding and put it up myself just for that situation ! Crack on regardless chaps.

Thanks for your comment. This is 1.5m fyi.

@@pauljamieconstruction1871 sorry it looked longer 👌

@@Sitdown570 I bought a 3m roll and cut it in half . 1 on each side. And was still short 🙈

@@pauljamieconstruction1871 did that mean another journey back for more lead 😫😫😫

@@Sitdown570 absolutely. Had a second visit

its hard to tell where to stop the chase without tiles on my brother

Thanks for your comment, i used to be a lead worker when i first started, its defo 1.5 bro 👍🏼

Count the tiles courses . You should no they are 100mm

The length of the set square is 300 , it looks fairly close to 5 of those 7:41

@@AK4ourty7even47 what do you mean

@@pauljamieconstruction1871 i was explaining how you can see its 1.5m by using the set square as a guide when its laid down while you were marking out on the back of your truck

How is this?

I used to use a marker pen for lead flat roofs as you can weld it. Can you not see the pen marks on the lead once finished

@@pauljamieconstruction1871 no I have never cut wrong with the markers before I use to mark it with nail or something and that’s when I have cut on the fold line

@James1993.. once youve done miles of step flashing it becomes second nature

@@pauljamieconstruction1871 yeah I don’t have any issues now and definitely not trying to tell you how to do it I’m just saying that’s they way I always do it. I want to do a lead welding course that’s my next goal with leadwork

We always scratch the wall to while the leads in place before you take it down to bend then you know we're to grind to

Sorry Patrick.

What on earth are you talking about. I carried the lead in the air, no one carries it on a board
