Did pretty much exactly this on my extension roof, and it worked out pretty well. Brickie was actually impressed! Only difference was that I used Hall Clips to hold the flashing in the wall, and Lead Mate to fill the gaps. Both worked really well. Two years on, it still looks good.
I hadn't watched it till the end before I commented, you should have washed the dust out before you fixed it, mortar doesn't stick to dust for to long, not a dig just advice. Your good thought.
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
I am trying to repair my flat roof. I have applied the adhesive to the roof. When I lay felt onto the adhesive do I have to peel off the thin plastic sheet from the felt first? Absolute beginner here😮😮.
@@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 .
@@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. .
“ I know, lets make the job as difficult as possible “ !!!!!! Would you get a bricklayer to lay bricks at that height going up and down a fucking ladder!!! No doubt your gaffer said you don’t need scaffold. Ha !
@@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.
@@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
When I do my step flashing always have marker pens 2 different cut lines 1 for the cut and 1 for the fold lines I have done it couple times cut on the fold line lol
@@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
@@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
I don't think your good enough to give anybody any advice! You always always carry lead up on a board there's plenty of stuff lying around on that scruffy site pf yours . Individual flashings are three times better and we always fixed ours in with a concave form to fill the joont It was for English Heritage though!? 5/ 10 kid
