Hey mate, good video I had my roof re-done by a bloke i regret using in November....he didn't do weepholes when he re-pointed, this was in December. I have a drill and a 400mm x 6mm masonry bit so i can do them. If they existed before, does it matter if i do them on the wrong side of the tile as to where they were before so to speak. I understand where i need to do them, it could just be in 2 places? Hope that maeks sense

Nice information

How much is a roof tile again?

Nah you would have to replace that damaged sheet. It has a memory now and if even half stepped on in the future will buckle in that spot.

Nice.

to anyone watcbing this DO NOT DO THIS it does not work i replace tiles like this once a week call your roofer and they will put a full tile in problem solved do not trust or pay anyone who silicones tiles

Why in London they do not have weep holes and some of there roofs are decades old .. even hundreds of years old. They never have problems with water in their roofs. Only here in Australia 🇦🇺 well Victoria just started saying we now have to have weep holes. The right question is how the dickens did the water enter. We now have to look at the pointing we apply. In the sixties. Water did not get in. Pointing was solid.

Thanks. I learned a lot from your channel.

Look like some improvement.

Very true. Keep up the good work.

Climate change- "It's real" ...because it brings about new regulations..that's about as real as it gets..😮

Ridiculous. To all the people watching this is not how respectable roofers fix this problem. Take the tile out and take it to your local roofing supplies who wil sell you a new one

I started my business watching your video many years ago on your old account. Now I am doing decent. Thank you.

Good life lesson.

Dont silicon replace new tiles😅

Great education. Thank you

Thank you for sacrificing that roof sheet for the sake of education

Creative repair.

I wouldn't use silicone in that particular application. There are MANY better adhesive/waterproofing caulking materials. Ask at BUNNINGS.

I've got a tile roof here in Florida. It has excellent south-facing exposure with near perfect pitch for our latitude, but there's no way I would put solar on it. However, I do have room for a ground-mount, so that's what's being installed next month.

No hope. Too many cowboys in that game.

Roof painting guy blocked my roof weep holes, I didn't know that at that time,he told that roof pointing could seal everything nowadays no more need weep holes. My roof started leaking a lot of spots after one or half years later. And then I drilled weep holes and it hasn't been leaked after six months since I drilled during a few heavy rain

Bloody brilliant! I am in awe of your elegant expertise!!

I wish I could just a find a reliable roofer who turns up :( I’m a female and I’m about to get on the roof and fix it myself cause no one turns up, wish I could learn from you and I would be a reliable roofer

Why didn't he silicone the hole ?

Pity there's no tool to "turn up" the IQ

Or sometimes people do know the reason why but they're just lazy.

Why indeed!

Transition flashing should be shorter then the sheets on top in this scenario take them stitching screws out of the rain

Very good.

Yes: agree, Its important to take pictures. There are multiple reasons for it.

the first video I saw from you was the one about roofing harness. I bought similar one and it really helped me to fix small leaks on my own roof. great to see you are publishing more videos. you are a man with wisdom and experience. I very much enjoyed your content. thanks for the sharing!

Just had a look at his web site. Very nice. Innerwest boy like me.(except im an old man now)

Thanks , enjoy your content. Some of these guys go off and do roofing anyways , unqualified and with an extremely dodgy business model (they become con artist/crooks). So they can earn the BIG BUCKS and earn the admiration of their peer group. We ignorantly employed exactly such one much to our detriment and heartache and are still far from being out of the woods. Training, training, training and get that qualification. Thanks

Not everyone has the critical thinking skills to identify and rectify. They did their time to get the so called title of a tradesman but they’re just cut and lay tilers.

There is the exact same problem here in the UK too. So many tradesmen operating who just don't have the proper training. I believe that if anyone wants to do any kind of paid construction work they should have to have some kind of license. It could be a licence that covers all kinds of construction work. It would mean that cowboy tradesmen who bodge jobs could have their license revoked and they would be allowed to work. Struck off the register like what happens with Doctors. Customers could ask potential tradesman for their license number and check it on an online database, if they don't have one then that would be a sign they have been struck off the construction register. It would force tradesmen to do better jobs if they lived in fear that if they bodged the job they could have their license revoked and they could never do paid construction work again. With the current situation there is nothing to stop a tradesman bodging job after job. Even if it is well known they are doing bad jobs there is nothing to stop them from continuing to work.

kool stuff

What was the outcome. I don't know why i am asking because you never reply to comments.

Why not put a capillary cut behind the dektite in corro ?

I don't get this, roofing tiles are of a standard size and inexpensive if you only need a few the only reason I can think of regards to this type of repair is keeping bodge and scarper me in work!

After a bit of digging I found this place at Asquith.

Terrible roof design. Shocking that it was given planning permission.

Some work in that one.

🙄 Boral big hump. Absolute pain in the arse of a tile. We've had nothing but trouble with these shit tiles. Turn out I'm a better roofer than most of the licensed roofers here in QLD......!! Nobody knows what they are talking about Except this guy 😂👍 Thanks for the tips & advice as I've successfully replaced most of my roof myself when the insurance people said it couldn't be done. We changed insurance after all this nonsense

Hi there, Very informative but my question are 1.How do you paint the roof without blocking the weep holes? 2.Should painting be totally avoided and just keep up with regular waterblast and moss treatment? 3.How to improve the aesthetics of the roof tiles over a period? Thanks.

wouldn't u wipe off the dirt first before putting on the sealant?

I like that 4 skylights at the end.

i just have a1 ? howdo you now we where not a human bein from the beginne from adam
