How to fit eaves protectors

- Eaves protectors can help save your roof. Today I’m showing you my approach to fitting them. Remember to always read the manufacturer instructions. Eaves protectors also get called eaves guards, eaves trays, felt support trays and various other things.

Andy Mac taking house cleaning to a whole new level. Great Video.
You should have seen me hoovering the roof! 😂
@GosforthHandyman I have come to learn watching your videos, that you will go over and beyond to do a fantastic job. Not for anyone else but for yourself.
I think a proper workshop with space in your back garden is in order👍
Very tempting but if anything I'm trying to downsize. 😁👍
I think with a channel of your size along with its great quality content that you must have a proper tool room and would make for a good multi part build episodes along with a redesign of garden for your other channel👍anyway keep up the great work love your channels😁
Nice one, thanks for sharing. I'm not a builder or roofer but i've been a labourer on several roof jobs over the years. I think you are correct, with an older roof it is always going to be a compromise .The felt gets brittle, the batons rot, the odd tile chips or cracks, the more you pull it about the worse it tends to get. Job you did looks fine to me. You didn't finesse pulling that nail, but its a real pain to climb down and go in search of tools. For anyone wanting to pull a nail like that a floor nail puller (claw bar, small) tapped in at 25 deg down with a hammer or the claw of a small hammer (half size hammer) tapped in with standard size hammer is probably the simplest way.
I watch a bunch of DIYers youtube but gosforth handyman is the only one who would vacuum his roof 😂 Thanks for your videos man you’ve taught me a lot 🫡
Hi Andy, you have done a good job there, replacing the rotten baton with a new piece and fitting eaves protectors, that will last years. I've been busy over the past few days replacing the windows in my porch, the old wooden frames with single glass were looking tired and the wood was starting to rot so I fitted reclaimed upvc double glazed windows and new plastic fascia boards and it's looking a lot better now, just got to refit the outside light now. As always a great video full of good tips and ideas, catch you soon take care👍
Nice one! Aren't you going to do the front of your house too? Let your next door neighbours know they should get that grass out of their gutter as well.
I’ve actually been putting off this job! Thanks for the motivation and information 👍👍
Good luck with yours! 👍
Its usually easier to push the 2nd row of tiles up to take the 1st row out and give access. Often times its best to just replace the full bottom wretch of felt as its more than likely holier than thou, and if its not before it most likely will be by the time you've fitted the drip trays. Also there was no need to make custom battens 99% of the time the tile will ride over it without issue. The odd time it doesn't you can just split off 6inch or so back like a chamfer to match the thickness. Certainly the height of the batten doesn't matter at all within reason, 19x25, 19x37,19x50 are all the same the important bits the 19.
Fantastic info - cheers! 👍👍💪
I just broomed,scraped and sprayed with vinegar on the moss growing on my asphalt shingled roof.
I built wood scaffolding so I can safely climb up to do the work.
There’s evidence of water having been on that under felt. Check the tiles above on the roof for cracking or pieces missing. I had that.
At 21:22. It looks like one of the tiles on the right hand side second row up is not under its neighbour tile sufficiently.😮
Well spotted! It's a different design of tile that somebody has fitted over the years 🙄. Probably what caused that rotten batten. I need to swap it out but need to find another matching tile from somewhere. On my list. 👍
@@GosforthHandyman I noticed a whole roof of them to the left of your house 🙂
Hi Andy ,been following your account for some time now have enjoyed your posts,you could have used your multi tool to cut those gutter bracket screws away,great show as usual
Cheers! Sadly couldn't get it under without causing even more damage to the felt. 😭
You said intents and purposes correctly. You are a God 😂
👍👍👍. I've been thinking about doing this myself. Thank you Andy
Great job
Cheers!
To me it looks like the eaves protectors in the new roof area are above the felt?
neighbour has a nice rooftop garden going on.
If your table saw is shot, perhaps you could get your hands on one of the new Sawstops.
I've been offered one! The DeWalt is fine though - just something jamming the thread on the lift mechanism. It works with a bit of persuasion 😁. Need to take a proper look at it though. 👍
@@GosforthHandyman common issue with the dewalt table saws, bit of WD40 on the front/back thread of the lifting mechanism under the table will see you right.
Andy, I haven't watched the video yet but there's only one way to be certain with wasps. ''"Take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure".
Ha tell me about it! Can't believe there were so many! 😬
Literally just fitted these!
Nice one!
I would have taken 4 rows of tiles off and the guttering , laid a new run of felt and battens, and added plastic fascias? that felt seems more torn up than before
That what we have found out in our house after we moved in. Had a leaking roof, roofers came around and told us we need eaves protectors installed and when they started to lift the tiles to do that they discovered a good 50 cm of felt which completely disintergrated and has fallen through. Like you said they needed to lift multiple rows of tiles off to run new felt. All that work in 4 degrees rain weather. Was worth every penni, definetely not a DIY job
Would have needed scaffolding to do any more rows of tiles as couldn't reach but the torn felt edges don't matter now the eaves protectors are in. Technically I could have just cut the torn bits off. 👍
Great video. Is that lovely music at the end by Chris Haugen? What’s it called?
I'm lucky that my local timber yard stocks old size roofing battens, unfortunately the rafters had to be put through a table saw
Hi, thanks for video on dewalt table saw and mitre sliding saw which company brand blade are you using. Its red in colour. What is the thickness of it. Thanks
You think a jobs going well, then......... You got there in the end Andy and best of all, the British weather played ball for a change. Cheers.
Yeah, got a bit sunburned in September! 😂🌞
How is it that those tiles need to be replaced?
I thought that they would need replacement only if they're cracked or broken?
I think I need at least one fitted as someone put the aerial cables behind the guttering and now I get rain coming down behind it. I’ll have to get a roofer in and hope he doesn’t take a sharp intake of breath and say-Na mate, new roof 😡. Ow much? 😱
Oh no! Good luck!
What do they do, as under the felt and tiles? I suppose protect the eaves, but how?
Great
Your music put me to sleep. Need music that is a little more lively!
🎶🎵🎶😂
Reckon a new roof is something you'd take on yourself when the time comes? Or would you let the pro's handle it?
Tempting but I'm not great with heights these days and it would take me forever so I'd need a couple of weeks of clear weather. The pros would have it done in a couple of days.
Did you not need tilting fillets under the trays.
Possibly! But it's never had them so keeping as is. 👍
NEEDS RE-ROOFING or at least take more rows off so you can fit the tray properly. Gutter off and paint the fascia
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but what you’ve done is created areas that the water will pond in, I’m almost 30 years doing roofline work, my advice is rip it back out, nasty stuff eps that brings a shed load of problems.
There's no areas water would pond - might not be able to tell from the vid but everything is on a slope and run-off is fine. Much better than before. 👍
