Professional roofer here: Everyone watching this, please remember this guy isn’t doing it correctly, the roof pitch looks too shallow & verges should be bedded not pushed mortar in with bits of rubbish here and there, this verge will fall apart in 5 years as there’s isn’t enough mortar in there. The video shouldn’t be followed for educational purposes & the chap doing the work should make this perfectly clear. Also there should be lead flashing fitted to the wall abutment at the top of the roof not cement layed on top of the tiles, any movement in the building & this will crack and cause a leak. Not to mention the batten at the verge shouldn’t be close to edge as it is in this video nor should the roof membrane be so close, all this will suck moisture through the cement verge & cause rotting.
Frankie , if you listen on the video I did explain that this is a temporary set up , it was the best cost option for us at the time, we had tiles left from another job, I didn’t want to spend money on a proper flat roof, also I explained that you would normally fit lead over the cement at the point of meeting the building, I can’t disagree with what say, the next chance we get to film a roof we will then you can see what we are about, the whole building will be flattened in the near future, many thanks for taking the time to watch and comment, Cheers from Old budd 👍
This is wrong but when bedding verges with a pan tile I do like to throw some muck down first, squash some broken tile in, then out more muck on top. Them pantiles can be a right pain to point up because the bed is so big. I find that helps
You prolly dont give a shit but does anybody know of a tool to get back into an Instagram account?? I stupidly lost my account password. I love any assistance you can offer me
@Kylen Donovan Thanks for your reply. I got to the site on google and Im trying it out atm. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Those. Edge tiles should come off ,prime the back edge with cement and sbr also prime the under cloak verge ,then bed the tile with 3 sharp sand / washed grit and 1 part sand to 1 part cement ,add bit of Feb and a dash of sbr ,those verges should also have a mechanical fixing if no verge clip. Also no batten end protection that mortar will get wet and eventually rot the battens
It’s working fine , it is only a temporary solution, we were going to flat roof it but we had some tiles left from a previous job, it just worked out a lot cheaper option at the time, but in answer to your question it’s working fine 👍
I can guarantee the verge will have cracks all over it as he didn't put a slight lip on the cement verge going under the side if the tiles, which makes the rainfall run straight into the cement and as I say causes cracks.
Quickest way is to take the tiles off then put your muck in then placing tiles back, so essy and simple, the tiles have more compression as well so it's stronger!
Just what I was going to say,bed the mortar high and then press the tile on,the times iv seen people bed the tile on then they scrape it back and point over another day only to find in a year it falls out cos its only half inch think
@@stevesmith3850 it takes a lot longer that way and it's less strength as theirs no compression from the tile into the muck! UK Construction industry has gone backwards in a lot of ways, power tools make workers look better than what a lot of people think
@@breadmanted As I've stated my way doing it you pack in as much compo as possible for the tile to be placed back down again, this way the muck spreads out and force the muck back in again with a gauging trowel how I do it then angle the muck flat to the cement board, muck has to be a little stiff but workable, I see loads of guys packing muck in without taking tiles off which takes them all day to do when it should be done in less than half that time, UK construction industry has went downhill big time, big guys earning huge profits off the working man, not enough older guys taking young people on and when they do they use them as labourers for cheap pay and don't learn them much! 10 years time the UK building workforce will have lost a lot of people and a lot of knowledge how to do things because of greed
I've never seen anything like this in my 16 years of roofing, bed the verges, put a flashing at top edge, most importantly that roof is basically flat, board it and fibreglass, that's a leak waiting to happen
The felt should go under the undercloak because the cement will now corroded it and now your mortar is set on a floating surface. The mortar should be cut to the underside of the tile and not up onto the tile face edge as it’s too thin, will crack and then open up the bed. Felt shouldn’t be going into the gutter too as it will rot out. The cement fillets at the top have been banned for years as the lack of movement and again will leak.
@@sorryrocco And here is the problem with builders - no two agree on method. How is the householder supposed to judge whether the person they're paying is doing the job properly ?
Liked & Subscribed. Can I ask why you put the broken bits of tiles in. Is it for strength or just so I can use a bit less cement mix ? Storm Eunice took my verge tiles off so intend to replace using your video as a guide. Thank you for making this video.
hope you had a good Christmas, so your cementing the facia, so you got the roof tile, so whats the board called you've put under the tile to rest the cement on, i think they used asbestos board in the day, is it cement board. thank you.
I hope that's your own property, if not there will be a very unhappy customer when the fillet cracks, the end tiles blow off in a moderate wind and the felt rots in the gutter. I would also question the pitch of the roof for the tile used.
Just to put you in the picture it is our own place and it’s just a temporary set up , we had the tiles spare from another project so we used those instead of a fibre glass or rubber roof, I did explain that it was only temporary and no lead as it’s not going to be there long, you are totally right in what you say, it is just a way to get to another point, really appreciate you watching the video 👍👍
Jobs like this keep me in work …going back to rip it all off, repair the damage from the inevitable leaks, and doing it properly. Poor unsuspecting home owner pays twice for the job.
Great vid :) Are you in Suffolk? I'm in Sax and three big bits of the concrete recently fell out of the verges (of my 400-year-old house). Almost hit me cat! :O ;) One of the barge boards is a bit knackered too :/
Only roof for that pitch is a flat roof, will leak like crazy with them tiles, why use a cement fillet on the back should be a lead flashing chased into the wall. Cement works nice but you are no roofer sorry
They are not the right type for such a low pitch, they were just some we had left of a job, and as it is a temporary building, it was the cheapest option, 👍 thanks for watching
meant to bed the verge then compress the tile down then point it off pushing cement in like that won't last plus your underlay should be under your cloak, plus the pitch of that roof you've used the wrong tiles or you need mor than 75 mil head lap
This is how not to muck a verge! Take the tiles off then lay the muck then you put the tile on to the muck pushing it down for a nice bond, the way in the video will be loose and within a year or two
Nice neat job. Isn't it better to use flashing for the top of the roof rather or as well as concrete. If the concrete cracks or there is any movement, rain water is going to run off the wall behind the concrete verge?... Pro's educate me please..
Why have you got tiles on a basically flat roof and you bed tiles into the compo not pushing it in like that there's so much wrong with that I don't know were to start
Paul You totally right, but it is a very temporary roof, we used up some bits and pieces we had left, we could do the job ourselves, and we didn’t have to pay a flat roofer, it’s a means to an end, many thanks for watching 👍
Where to start? 1. Membrane should be under the undercloak not on top. 2. Where's the felt support at eaves level? No membrane should be be fitted into the gutter. Also the first course is drooping - I suggest no eaves ventilation has been fitted. 3. Nails? I can't see any nails in the top row, which makes me think there are no nails fiited at all. 4. Roof pitch? The roof seems far too low for a single concrete pantile. 5. You should not mortar into an abutment. There should be a dry abutment fitted and / or lead flashing
Absolutely shocking job 🙄 As everyone has already said, the tiles need to be removed and bedded and felt goes beneath the undercloak. Timber roofs move too and that is why we use lead flashings instead of fillets. Your cement mix is too dry too, won't adhere properly.
Oh good god. Roof pitch is way too low for them tiles. So there was never a need to use lead for flashing just use mortar!!!. Has this roof been replaced yet
Wow just wow, the tiles are wrong for the roof pitch, that pitch looks about a 10 degree roof which should be a flat roof, and as for the cement I’ve never seen anything like this, wow
Looks shallow pitch ? Lower than 15* and your in trouble also head lap of tiles wellout of spec. Max is 100mm your on at 75mm , lead flashing needed to be chased into render, that mucks blown already ibet , still the customer would think it looks good
Totally agree we did it as a temporary set up, as we had the tiles left from something else, it has 18mm ply underneath, but doing it this way was just so much cheaper and easier at the time, it did the job. Cheers for watching 👍
007, we know , this building is only a very temporary building, we just used materials that we had left, when we get the chance to do a proper roof we will, thanks for watching 🤦♂️👍

Don't you just love the comments from 'professional' roofers? Comments re felt, battens , etc are from people who've probably never been on a roof. As for the idea of lead flashing - from clowns who'd probably cut into the wall and slot it in with clips. How's that gonna work on roughcast? Chippies, plumbers, sparkies - whoever - no-one seems to know anything these days. They just do as someone who didn't know what they were doing told them. I've just re-roofed a centuries old barn and done it exactly as this guy has - except I didn't use felt. It was last roofed over a century ago and none of the disasters foretold by the 'experts' befell it.
Not been funny but that pitch is too flat for them tiles you would of been better putting a rubber flat roof or a glass reinforced plastic roof that’s actually illegal what your doing
It was a temporary job , and this was the cheapest option at the time, had some tiles left from another job, it just served a purpose at the time 👍 it was a lot cheaper than rubber or fibre glass and got us out of a muddle.
It is actually a temporary building, it was a cheaper option than a complete flat roof as we had the tiles left from another job, this room is there for 24 months max, but I get what all the critics say as in there world they are right, but it’s a means to an end, thanks for watching everybody , keep building 👍👍

Right cowboy job fair play
Stick to building m8 that roof degree is far too low for any tiles
pitch and guage if it's right now leaks but house concrete tiles are shit, I hate them
It must be the fish eye camera lense.
they look level😂
What pitch do you think it is??...
Those. Edge tiles should come off ,prime the back edge with cement and sbr also prime the under cloak verge ,then bed the tile with 3 sharp sand / washed grit and 1 part sand to 1 part cement ,add bit of Feb and a dash of sbr ,those verges should also have a mechanical fixing if no verge clip.
Also no batten end protection that mortar will get wet and eventually rot the battens
Should have used sharp sand. Also what happened to the lead flashing ? I wonder what it looks like now ?

Hi, 3 parts cement and 1 part sand, right?
No lead flashing where the roof meets the house?

Yes, 'cement board' replaces the old asbestos cement board.

Love the birds mouth on bottom course lovely 🤣
Shouldn't the undercloak be over the felt and not under??
Did this leak?
Thanks for sharing
Can you nail through this verge board ?
What was mix3 to 1??, ifyeswhy ??, why no lead flashing on top row of tiles just a fillet ??
Why are you not bedding the tiles on one be one?
Very nice work, sir!

Should of fibre glassed it
It was a case of using up what we had, it is only a temporary roof 👍
Alot of ppl saying should be beded and I agree but try do a regent tile 1st looool you need to use very stiff muk otherwise youre having a bad day

Idk about Building with Budd it should be Building with Bob 😂
Gonna run out of mix there

Where's a roofer when you need one,
Rough has
Chaps before you beast me , it is a temporary set up, give us a break 😂😂
I’m a roofer of 15 years personally with such a big bed i would bed and point dental slips on to half the size of the verge stops cracks etc
This is not the way to “bed” verges. A proper roofer would not do this. Calling you a cowboy would be an insult to cowboys.
Cowboys there is no where near enough fall on that roof and you bed the tiles not point.🤠🤠🤠🤠

Take the tile off and bed it properly with a decent amount of muck , cant just push it in, does nothing
Polish it up , no cherry blossom will sort that out .
It will crack first hot day
what a bodge i hope you paid the customer thats rough as fuck hardly any over hang on the gable
Thats not how you run a verge and why didnt you install lead flashings 😂
Wow
Great job man! However, round the tip of ya trowel off somewhat! Ya wont have to go over it so much then. Apart from that, first class!!
Should have cut tile at lowest point shallower less cement
