Never have I thought until I watched this video about the insane amount of work that goes into a house roof. Now I have huge respect for the people who do this.
It was actually satisfying watching this video of professionals taking pride in their work and showing how its done properly. Alot of respect for the amount of work that goes into a proper roofing job.
Been a roofer since I left school over 20 years ago and it's nice to see some one who actually takes there time and has a bit of pride in their work as opposed to majority who just slap it on and don't give a fuck how it looks, keep it up lads and good luck going forward
Great to see professional tradesmen taking pride in the work and going the extra mile to make sure the jobs done right. Not enough quality tradespeople around anymore . Love the channel
i love how those tiled valleys look, way better than lead. It's great to see how much pride you take in your work, nice straight lines and everything done the right way
I'm a 21 year old roofer in training in Germany and I find it fascinating to see how other countries build their roofs. Nontheless it looks really good. I just love the craft
You Germans do some really nice slate work. Someone told me that German roofers have to do years of training before they're even allowed on a roof. Is that true?
@@Starwars0405 I can't speak for all roofing businesses in Germany but at least for mine it was different. I had a 2 week internship where I was watching my colleagues how they move on the roof. During that time it was not allowed for me to go on the roof. After the 2 weeks I was a helper for a few months and they let me go on the roof. Now I'm in training. So it was just for my internship. The only reason why I was not allowed on the roof was because I had no accident insurance which is a must have. Otherwise you are mostly useless when you're not on the roof.
Will is clearly a great roofer, and great in front of the camera.🤩 I've got a great tip for cutting those rafter feet, super accurate and super fast.👊 I liked the, 'chop, chop lads', getting the roof covered back in quick after it had been exposed.😃 Great stuff as always.
@@martinbrice9802 Hi Martin. Line up all, (or 20 at a time), the lengths of timber that have been cut to the desired length. (looked about 600mm in the video). Then stack them tightly together, (the widest dimension vertically), on that lovely flat work bench by screwing the end two down into the bench. (you could also drive some wedges in between one of these to really pack all the others in tight, or a pair of long sash clamps would be idea) Now, pressuming that the bench is nice and flat, (if its not you could run battenes under each edge, not dissimilar to the jig in the video), and the timber is all the same size, you then mark your birdsmouth position on each end one and draw this line across the top of all of the stacked pieces. Now you set your circular saw to the pitch of the roof and its depth to the depth of the plumb cut, and just run it down one of the lines. Now set the saw to the seat cut, and its depth, and run it down the other line. BOOM. What you end up with is a load of stacked lengths of timber with a groove cut through them.😎 A 45 degree roof be the easiest, and this method would be limited to maximum angle your saw could be set to. (most saws now go over to 55 dgrees, so this would work with pitches down to 35 degrees). Super fast and super accurate.👍 I hope I've made sense.
This are workers. They master all what they are doing. They are very very courageous. I have a lot of respect for them. Not only its expensive to roof a House but thé worker need à high salary.
All the roofers I know are really cool guys. They seem to have an, 'easy', attitude and are hard grafters. Its got to be something to do with being outdoors all the time and they are a fairly hardy bunch.💪
Nice work, gentlemen. I was surprised you didn't use contra laths / cross laths (I don't know how to espress it in English, because it's not my native language). I used to be roofer myself for three years and everytime we started nailing contra lath on the roof membrane to create ventilation gaps between roof membrane and the horizontal laths holding the tiles.
Hi Justin thanks man means a lot, silt trap is the way forward but I was looking forward to the gully idea never done that before all the best Tony 👍 learn something new every day
Yep and ive learnt so much watching videos ive never been on Facebook or TH-cam or anything before until 6months ago and im amazed at the standard and how much i can learn and people are willing to help aswell so its great Tony. I dont even no how to edit or timelapse yet im a real dinosaur. Videos like yours are inspiring to me mate im blown away by your team and quality and the knowledge you guys have ive a long road to walk to get anywhere near that but ill keep walking🤣 Have nice weekend mate all your videos are great you should be proud of the entire team . Justin 👍
Hi Justin you are doing an amazing job and you have no walk yo walk we are equal you have love and passion for are industry and it shows in your videos have a awesome weekend Tony 👍
Wills a legend love your videos mate always well explained real professional. Why did you paint the rafter feet black btw they on show? Would of been great to see the whole set up marking out the battens and setting up 1st rows but I know you boys are busy appreciate all you same 👍🏽
I think this is the first time that I've seen a roof that didn't have plywood and a vaper barrier on top of the rafters ... is it because it's an older house , or is that a normal thing in the UK ?
Its amazing how we all do things differently. We dont use cemented hips and verge anymore up here. If dry systems are installed correctly, they're maintenance free ...
Nice work not shaw were you are here in perth WA we do thing a little bit different like we use tile cunters not grinders an top ridges should never cut here in aus
At 8:20 no commentary, but noticed he puts in double layer of tiles probably to lift the final tile above the gutter. The underside has a batten fixed just under the last batten and has a tile cut and nailed to match the tile length above it. Starts with a tile and half from the hip up to the valley with a 45 degree cut to meet the tile on the other side. All are then covered by the last tile above. Membrane is over hanging but with eaves support tray can be cut flush with last tile to prevent UV degradation. The tray will deliver the rainwater into the gutter.
Wow,must be one of the best roofers in the country, master class,how would they have done all those cuts in the day before electric tools🤔,have a good weekend every one at AandE
Hi all at A&E when laying out the roof battens do you have to work it out from the bottom or in the case of the back of the chimney, as seem's to be done here?
I am not a roofer. Actually, I’m afraid of heights and so this would definitely be the wrong career choice for me… I don’t know the first thing about roofing. However, thanks to the TH-cam algorithm, this has come up in my suggestions at nearly half past midnight and it’s really quite satisfying to watch😁😁 nice roof😀
I live in a seme detached house. With the small red clay roof tiles. Same as nxt door. They need replacing. A roofer is saying it's cheaper to use bigger tiles. Also saying the bigger tiles offer better protection. Is this correct. Or should I go for the smaller ones like what's already on. Then it will blend in with next doors roof. Any advice?
Me personally I prefer the small tile Also consider the period of the property you can buy concrete that are double tile size but bigger tiles are cheaper
Hi will I’ve got a large area of flat roof what do think I should consider on my options of repairing it.It’s in very poor condition and has many re felt repairs. Would you consider a rubber option or maybe putting a small pitch on it and tiling it. Thanks Steve.
Is there any reason why you wouldn’t reuse the old tile that aren’t broken and replace with new? Just asking as I’m currently getting quotes thanks good vid
Hey will can I ask u a quick question I'm in ireland n we dnt do clay tiles or valleys like that over hear at all,do u line out the roof for the tiles vertically or just just lay as u go
How do you clean heavy concrete dust all over entire newly fitted tile roof as just now it’s light grey looking and I’ve been told rain will wash this away but I’ve hosed it and still looks chalky grey ( not nice) appreciate any information
Roughly for outside filming on timelapse I'd say ISO Min at 100 and Max 800. Even on auto the GoPro's do a decent job adjusting to changing light conditions. Thanks for watching Marcus - take care buddy 👍
Never have I thought until I watched this video about the insane amount of work that goes into a house roof. Now I have huge respect for the people who do this.
Thats a fairly large roof. A typical roof, as long as you have everything ready should take no more then 5 days depending on man power
@@erhanhusseyin5071that’s no big roof when u get 400m2 roofs that’s when it takes 5 days never should it take 3 weeks for a tile roof metal is the go
@@bill5608 2 weeks spend waitng for a time without rain lmao

It is a masterclass to watch Will and the team do this roof.

Can you tell me is there no wind on roof? How do one stay so upright and stable while working on roof?
@@iamarxalan have you ever been outside
@@Mightbeyourdad I live in Canada and not in UK thats why I was wondering.
Exactly. Hard to find these days.
Such clear communication. Captured my interest from beginning to end.

I've watched this series several times now. Having a roof replaced soon, really valuable seeing the stages. Thanks for capturing it, great work.
Great Video Tony, its always a pleasure to watch Wills and the teams work with roofing and also helpful.
Glad you enjoyed it Glen 👍
It's impossible not to say awesome f..king work! Good job!
looks awesome! question - what about the ventilation underneath the tiles. ? is it not needed ?
i love how those tiled valleys look, way better than lead. It's great to see how much pride you take in your work, nice straight lines and everything done the right way
As a roofer I totally agree with you mate
Good to see master craftsmen at work! How long would you expect this to last for?
Invaluable tips and workmanship greatly appreciated
Awsome job as usual guys, well done.
Glad you enjoyed it 👍
Cracking video, my roof is clay rosemary and maybe do myself, straight forward gable
Looks quality mate! Roofing always seems to be a good trade a good laugh w the lads
Large job well thought out.

Can you do a video showing how you get the tiles off without breaking them? Does it matter if you make the holes bigger?

To my mind there are some serious 'technical' issues with this roof!
Old school. love your style.
Thanks, have a great week 👍
Nice to see Rik wearing safety specs and ear defenders while using the grinder. Health and safety at its finest.

That's brilliant work. How much does it cost for a job this size in uk??
Its amazing how we all do things differently. We dont use cemented hips and verge anymore up here. If dry systems are installed correctly, they're maintenance free ...
But there shit pieces of plastic
Nice work not shaw were you are here in perth WA we do thing a little bit different like we use tile cunters not grinders an top ridges should never cut here in aus
Does will work in Staffordshire as I have a farmhouse that needs roof repairs. Interesting project
What happens if it starts raining whilst the tiles are off, do you quickly cover it up?
Pity the client never opted for a bonnet tile, would have complimented the valley and softened the hips, great video all the same.
I’m always glad when they go for a ridge on anything with more than 4 sides, less stress about getting all the rows to marry up
Will is the man

Hey, great work, I have a question, if u can help, can you build a wood structure on a flat concrete roof, thx
Beautiful roof that one. Great video.
Glad you liked it Bob 👍
Isn't there supposed to be a minimum of a 10mm sag on the felt between rafters on an unsupported roof?
what do you have to do if you rip the membain once you've but all the batons on
Great work 👍
great video
Looks like quality workmanship, I’m guessing when ‘reroofing’ it can’t be relaid with the old tiles?
It can if the tiles are still in decent condition
Workmanship 👌🏼
Thanks for watching! 👍
our landlord hired some people to re tile the roof and I wanted to ask, is dropping stuff on the existing roof a normal procedure?
