Hi mate, this was a good few years ago now. But we did have a drawing to work off with all the sizes. We used 9x1 lay boards on the old roof. And I think the rafters were 8x2 and the hips were 9x2 but I can’t remember 100%!

​@@ashleydavenport3794 Thank you very much for your reply mate.

@@edmondmandreja9725 no problem pal, hope the job goes okay 👌

Hi mate, in the cavity it’s the blow in stuff from the inside and in the loft space it’s rockwool insulation think a minimum of 400mm

Hi mate, don’t worry haha! No we didn’t have to have any calculations for that section that goes on top of the old roof. We’ve done a few now and never had any issues from building inspectors. I suppose the weight gets a lot less as it rises up the roof on the valley so it should be fine just on the 9x1 lay board. Cheers for your comment 👍

No just a normal saw, but it would be easier with a fine tooth saw, or grinder 👌

cheers! pros i guess are the timber sub fascia is strong so will add strength, also allows fixings all the way across for guttering etc. if we use sub fascia we normally use the same size fascia as usual, its just the 4x1 timber that we normally dont have enough of. no really any cons of a sub its a better job overall. cheers

@ashleydavenport3794 i like the idea of the timber sub fascia for strength and gutter brackets but then the upvc capping board over it to keep costs down but combined i think its too thick together for over fascia vents to work. Maybe adding the thicker one sitting higher than the sub board would work ok. I'm doijg a self build so need to decide.

@@handle1196 sounds good, I’m not sure how the over fascia vents work but I’m sure it would be fine if they were the same height but not 100%. You could hang your capping fascia slightly above the sub? I know it wouldn’t be that strong but could be an option

@ashleydavenport3794 i need to get my hands on some over fascia vents to see, they look designed to sit on an 18mm board nails down into the fascia then have an air vent that over hangs the front. So the nail down needs to go into something solid like the 18mm board and not end up going between the fascia and the sub fascia. I'll get hold of one but guessing they're best used with 18mm board only.

Hi pal! Yes that’s very true. Are you trying to get on sites at the min as well? You’ll learn a lot more when your on site 100%. Good luck! 💪💪

@@ashleydavenport3794 I've been trying to find site work for a couple months now. But down here on the Isle Of Wight, there's not even enough jobs for all the experienced chippies, let alone the space for newly qualified college students like me 😂

Not when doing fascia and soffit pal

Hi mate, because this roof didn’t have ladder ends I just set the truss in enough that a brick pillar could run up the inside of the gable. I’ve got other videos on how to set the truss up if you have ladder ends if you want to check them out. Also if there wasn’t a brick pillar I just set them 60mm which is the thickness of my level! Haha hope that helps! Cheers

Hi thanks for the help I've seen the other video 👌👌👌keep them coming mate 👍 😉

@@simondavies1900 cheers pal!

Bit tricky to explain. But I think what we did there was plumb down off the end of the ridge and mark it on the old roof, then get the measurement from that to the new wall plate. Then we can transfer that mark onto the lay boards and then measure the rafter like normal. Then after that ones in they are just at 400 centres or what ever. Hope that makes sense! Cheers

Hi mate, this was a few years ago so hard to say accurately. We also only did labour on this job , I think it was something like 1500-2000 labour and you’d probably looking at the same again for materials if not more. Cheers

Do u cover birmingham by any chance​@@ashleydavenport3794

Do u work in birmingham mate

@@ibzkhan88 probably about 2 hrs from us mate

Just over an hour actually, so not to bad

Glad it helped out pal! 👍

Thankyou! 👌

It’s a crash deck, been on jobs for a good few years now it replaced bean bags to protect you from falls. And it’s so much better because you can actually work off it!

@@ashleydavenport3794 nice - how is it supported from below?

@@sctrader151 it’s supported on plastic posts, if you google crash decking or safety decking it’ll show you how it’s done. It’s a good system tbf

Cheers pal, ahh that’s rubbish. But there can be a lot of reason for it squeaking, not enough glue, on the metal work, and the studs, on the nails in the boards. Haha so it could be easier to fix than re laying them 🤞 hope you get it sorted

Thanks pal, glad you enjoyed it! 👌

I did pal yeah! Haha

They don’t recommend boarding them, I think that’s to save the plasterboard beneath cracking, so yeah I’d say strength it up slightly to be safe!

I know mate. It’s gone full circle! But like always the jobs get added to the joiners list for no extra money! 👎😞

Hahha glad I could help out! Thanks pal! 👌👍 Hope it goes well!!

No mate not on pre fab trusses

@@ashleydavenport3794 saves a lot of time

Cheers! 👍

Cheers mate, would be accross the ceiling cord (under the floor boards) and then just up the roof like normal, but not straight like we’ve done them because it’ll get in the way of the plasterboard. If that all makes sense haha

Yeah they are small!! 😭 be top dollar aswell haha

You can’t see it clearly there but it’s a 4x2 cut with the angle of the roof on it! Yeah we used todo it like your saying too! All a load of rubbish 🤣👎

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it 👌👍

Thankyou! 👍

Good luck pal! Cheers! 👌

Still up and running! 👌

@@ashleydavenport3794 I found an eBay listing on kaiweets account that's only $130usd for the full kit with spare battery. When it's like $200 for the same thing everywhere else. They even have a duplicate listing on their own eBay account that's $200. I'm thinking of ordering the $130 one just to see if I get the full kit.

Keeep at it pal! It’ll all come together 💪

Yes mate I used todo the eyeing through technique and still do that to double check. But when you only have like 2 trusses at the front it’s hard to get a good average sometimes haha! Cheers for your comment 👌💪

@@ashleydavenport3794 yes agreed, sometimes you only have the girder so you can't really eye it through the plane, then you have to measure it up, you really need at least 4 trusses stood up to be able to eye it through right 👍

Thanks mate! I appreciate that 💪👍

Thanks mate! Glad you enjoy them! 👍👌

I’ve got one mate. Need to get in the 21st century don’t I! Just stuck in my ways of doing things 🤣🤣

@@ashleydavenport3794 no harm in that, if it works it works

Yes mate we have to use damp on the ground floor but this is on the 1st floor (joists) so it’s sound. But now we have to put damp on the walls! Hahah getting silly now. 600 everywhere apart from bathrooms walls for us!

@@ashleydavenport3794 damp up the walls!! Someone's bright idea that is useless, if you've got damp coming through the block work you've got problems 🤣👍

@@ashleydavenport3794 yes I should have spotted it was first floor hence no damp, only been doing it 26 years 🤦🤦🤣

@@dannym670 I know mate, the manger goes for all these awards and it’s just a pain in the arse!! Hahah

Expansion joints are in the long runs of fascia/ barge. Yeah a lot of people have mentioned that but I’ve never had any issues with it or been called back to sort any. Maybe I’ve just been lucky haha

🤣🤣🤣 always gets a polish before it goes live pal! Hahaha

Yeah man a few people have mentioned that way! 👌

Nice mate, everyone has there methods haha

Yeah I get but when the roofer comes in an puts his overvent on there's going to be a 20mm gap because the angles are wrong

@@richarddeville2733 overvent only kicks it up like a batten does all the way up the roof. And the dry verge caps hide all the end battens etc, in fact they hang down quite abit so cover like 2” of the barge and box end

Yeah I no that lol

@@richarddeville2733 we don’t actually use over vent on that site anyway. So the gap would be almost parallel anyway. So either way it wouldn’t matter haha

Yeah it touches the brickwork! So there is no gaps for wind, bugs etc

Pretty much mate. There’s always a little bit to get over with the building not being perfect. But not far off! Cheers mate! 👌

@@ashleydavenport3794 do you have an instagram?

Yeah I’d say so too pal. So much stuff involved with the panel that it isn’t quick or easy anymore 🤣👎

I don’t think it’d be too hard to be honest. And if it’s not all trapped down properly it rattles in the wind so it’s just one of them Hahha

I’m alright cheers pal! Haha

Thanks!

Thanks pal!
