FlexiPoint is a unique, flexible pointing compound which is designed to flex with roof structures, FlexiPoint is a premixed, pre-coloured (in a range of colours), is available to buy in 10 litre tubs, is trowel applied and is primarily used for pointing Ridge tiles, Verge's and Valleys on roofs.
Cement verges done the proper way are still the best system , plastic verges look good , quick and easy ,no cement to mix that’s why they are used , laths to outside for fixing , never !
Bed on last tile , point to outside of tile the next day . 1960s style . No good pointing in after roof is finished .
The number of times I see roofers pointing up with such a thin layer of mortar,then it falls out within a year,the tiles must be bedded on in one go a d not bedded on then scraped back and then pointed up the next day,it's easy to do it that way that's why they do it bit it's not the right way,if you can't point it up properly leave it alone altogether
Hey Steve would you recommend building sand or sharp sand? Cheers
Just drove past the house , it now has dryverge system on it , spoke to owners they said it only lasted 6mths then fell out during frost
Maybe this wont fall out because the FlexiPoint he is using adheres to the old mortar. I haven’t used FlexiPoint but as its a compound it may act different than does mortar which we know is affected by frost etc.
Better way to do it than that,rip the gable off, re bed it like it should be done,,
Why are you going over old mortar .if you say that it will crack .i smell a con here
i dont think john covered over old mortar bed! did he? i think the dry verge system is a far better job than any wet work in this case the dry verge system could of been used to hide those shitty looking wires below the overhang.
Go over it with a damp sponge after you've put the cement on
very helpful thanks
Hey we're did you get the flexi point from
Daft question y pva it's suppose go straight over cement and pva isn't water resistant is it a extearia pva
where can i buy flexipoint from, no one in builder supplies have heard of it or anything similar, they say just use cement, mines cracked and its only been in 5 yrs, so could do with flexipoint to repair it, thanks dave
Clean out old mortar and dampen down verge you could use a weak mix of PVA
Use a 4- 1 mix, 3 building sand 1 sharp sand 1 cement But obviously mix larger quantities and add mortar plasticer, use part rapid set cement and the mortar won't bag out, sets brilliant and won't crack.
Flexibond! Old stuff needs to come out
Have a go fella
Massively expensive n doesn't work that well still drops out over time
What's PVA?
DT g
what is a trowl?
Who am I?
Glue.
i cant see this lasting too long. that will all be on the floor after a cold winter!
I thought the same, but I'm doing the exact same job and I got a grindette to slot and score the existing cement to act as a key.
@@MonaichFother where did you score it?
@@jamessmallwood2453 When I say 'score' I mean scratch it crisscrossed to rough up the existing cement so my new stuff can get a proper grip.
@@MonaichFother I’ll try this cheers mate
It will fall out as soon as they have left.
+Ray Brown you obviously you don't have a clue what your talking about
@@johnroope357 think it's you that doesn't have a clue,all verge tiles must be bedded down with mortar in one go and not like this cowboy,I see it all the time,they bed the tiles on then scraped it back and then point it up next day with mortar thinner that a biscuit then it falls out within a year,fucking cowboys
This is horrible to watch and will give bona fide roofing contractors a bad name.
Give it a wide birth 👎
