Thanks! Will do!

Great video. It use to be that plumbers also did roofing. Some still e.g. the company I work for has its own roofing division. It's an under rated skill especially when it comes to the more complex roofs with loads of valleys and hips all joining into each other

I think we'll keep using the roofers for the bigger jobs, but for a simple roof line its not as scary or hard as people make it out. Working with steel, cutting, folding etc is definitely a different skill set to working with wood

I didn't know it was a requirement for apprentices to know about roofing... years ago, when I was a small-time chippie, I only roofed because it was cheaper (& quicker than getting a pro to do it!) Also, I only did single slope or gable structures ---anything with hips & valleys; I left those alone!
(I've only ever done toilet blocks & kitchens on campgrounds, 2 extensions & a couple of smaller homes). 🏠

I avoid the hips and valleys too :)

Дякую за відео!
Для чого ви встановлюєте металеву сітку на даху?

[@unlearnthesystem6469]

Two reasons...it stops the roofing paper sagging and also acts as safety net so you don't splat on the ground.

Как уже упоминалось, чтобы предотвратить провисание кровельной бумаги.
