Thank you. This is the only perfect vid on here that shows you what, how and why drip formers are used and needed. Brilliant bit of info about it being the most important part of the roof and how not to fold and tuck the wrong way. I have a sloping felt kitchen roof extension that needs doing with drip formers on the side. Had 2 cowboys previously and I'm paying the price horrifically for their nonsense repairs.
Drip formers wrong way round, rough side out, get a stapler hammer , put more clouds in former and I'd put a lathe around first so drip sits straight down over facia board.
Edgings perfect! Knife is not the best get a Stanley. Agree on the hook blades much easier to cut the mineral just need better weather in the uk been off the past 4 days with jobs stacking up!
Don’t ya just love how people manage to find the time to criticise and tell you how ur doing it wrong but you don’t see them uploading videos is on “The Proper Way To Do It”. These people have far too much time on their hands and should really get out more. Maybe even go and watch some professionals at work and learn something rather than pick holes in what everyone else is sound. Drive ya nuts. For the record. You’re sound a fine job mate. Keep up the good work.
I just put a 3x1 around the drip edge and torch them over then trim to the bottom. Be doin this since torch on came out and is neat and tidy if done rite. Faster to
Hello thank you for this informative video, just one question how do you use your method on 90 degree corner? Do the same as the front and have a slit where the two edges meet in the corners or join the corners?
Boarded over old roof? No boards installed just cleaned top layer and went again with 3 more layers, that's the beauty of felt you on site rubber boys wouldn't understand it
Boards was in good solid condition, old felt will not come away from boards as the felt had been bitumened to the deck, no harm in doing this method saves customer a ton of money if boards had rot then yes obviously replace them
Need a proper knife More clouts in the formers very slow way of cutting drips and marking them Don’t need Two men to fix them Use a hammer stapler to fit drips and formers single handed then nail the formers
My company been going since 1974 my Dad started it trading under the same name, I’m only going back now to flat roofs he done in 80s & 90s to re-do them done right they will last over 30 years, 3 layers hot bonded in the best method unless I’m on a listed building I will bring out my pour and roll and use boiling bitumen that’s bullet proof

Nice one mate! Where do I get from the welted drips and curbs for the skylight up stand?
when we cut our flashings we use a plasterboard square, line it up with top make one mark and off you go! just a little tip!
Great vid. One question. Would you do this method on the side where the gutter will be? Or is it a different method. Thanks
Quality job mate 👍 #propertradesman

Just what I was looking for. I want to do torch on my flat roof dormer loft 😊👍🏻
With a dormer make sure you remove roof tiles and get felt as high as you can, also bring the tile membrane over your new felt
@@perfektrepairs7934 Thanks 😊👍🏻
Hello thank you for this informative video, just one question how do you use your method on 90 degree corner? Do the same as the front and have a slit where the two edges meet in the corners or join the corners?
Hard to explain over a message, but it’s all about how you cut and shape it on the first corner that allows the second piece to simply over lap
Can you do a video how to do the corners pls?!
Thank you for your reply
Boarded over old roof? No boards installed just cleaned top layer and went again with 3 more layers, that's the beauty of felt you on site rubber boys wouldn't understand it
Do you bot cut the drip first? I find it so much easier doing that way! All you have to do then is nail them up
On that edge that is slightly raised what wood / battern do you use ? to give this shape on non gutter sides? ___/|
Hiya, did you tack on the drip edge or was it primed then tacked? Just wondering as this step isn’t showing on your video. Thanks
Drip edge is felt so I tac it into place, I then install a drip-former and then heat the felt and it will fold and take the shape of the drip-former
Thanks for your reply. This is very helpful. One more question. Do the drip formers come in a standard size?
@@saharasultana4172 yes 3inch wide or 5inch
straight boarded over the old roof hahahahah
No boards installed clearly not a felt guy you have no clue
Looks like old roof left on glad i’m not paying
Boards was in good solid condition, old felt will not come away from boards as the felt had been bitumened to the deck, no harm in doing this method saves customer a ton of money if boards had rot then yes obviously replace them
Good video 👌
Ya knee pads on upside down mate
They was worn so turned them around to save the knees lol
Buy an edge trim ffs with your cardboard drip 😂😂😂
It’s plywood you muppet
Need a proper knife
More clouts in the formers very slow way of cutting drips and marking them
Don’t need Two men to fix them
Use a hammer stapler to fit drips and formers single handed then nail the formers
Shite
No felt roof is any good, flat roofs are hopeless.

John Taylor you don’t have a clue mate. Felt is the only job for flat roofs. Many of my roofs have done over 30 years and still strong
