Thanks for the comments Barry, With lead sheet valley's discharging over facia boards we asked for tapered firing pieces to be fitted and dress sheet lead over and into gutter. In different parts of the UK some of the finer point vary. With dormer valley architects in general preferred to cover sheet lead on the dormer side of the work and cut the to roof pitch where the facia abuts roof but leave a gap of an inch and a quarter between facia and roof tiles / states. ( Facias were wooden) so the flow of water from the valley did not come in touch with timber facia. Thanks again for your input i find it encouraging.

Takes me back to my apprenticeship. Chase wedge, setting in stick, bending stick, box wood mallet, dresser. Cleaning the lead with a shave hook ready for lead burning. Standing seams, single and double lock welts, inodorous felt. And the fun (and burns) we got from working with Nuralite.

great to watch, and listen to a person, who know what they doing, and talking about, I used to get my tools from Monument tools in person at there factory at the top of Balham hill sw12, back in the early 70's they were better then. I learnt from an expert lead worker, who was an apprentise before the ww2 , and I went to the Brixton school of Builing, to do my City and Guilds, back in the early 70's there was a very old retired lead worker, who had done leadwork all his life, he demonstrated leadwork, on a piece of 4" diameter lead pipe about six feet long, he put 4 small holes around the circumference, 90 % to each other, opposite to each other, then dressed the lead out to form four 2" diameter perpendicular pipes a foot long each, I wish I asked him for it, as I doubt they are many people out there, who have the experience to do that sort of skilled workmanship, lucky to see such a thing, I used " cast sheet lead " on my roof, back in the 80's, it will last longer than me. thanks very much, for your great videos

Thanks for your words. I suffer the same dilemma. Have witnessed a guy in France form a knot in a 4" lead pipe. I still lay awake at night thinking how I can be done.

I know it’s only a demonstration and I know you’re the lead plumber but the left hand blade of the valley board should come straight down behind behind the fascia, thereby supporting the lead. It gives the line for the slater to follow when nailing the battens adjacent to it ( perhaps with a supporting batten screwed to the underside of the valley blade between the valley rafters ). Again I know it’s only demo but the right hand blade should come through and be cut off parallel to the main roof. I do agree though with the making of a tilt fillet to ‘ kick ‘ to support the under eaves slates and full slates to follow without use of the fascia board. Joiners years ago used to put a chamfered fillet to support the lead when the valley blades come down low behind the fascia to stop it drooping behind it. I do like the way the lead was folded over to the fascia before the bossing starts to ensure a consistent thickness. The number of times I’ve seen ‘ roofers ‘ just start leathering it over without that !!!!! Happy plumbing and again only a demo I know.

So the water runs down the valley into your fascia across the rim and inside the timber roof fantastic. Thats not head fixing and you dont nail soakers.

I enjoyed your video sir, moving the lead to maintain the thickness is important. The amount of times I've watched people on site reduce it to the thickness of a fag paper. Appreciated 👍

P.S. And yes ninja2kernow. The lead does go over the fascia board on the supporting left hand valley blade/chamfered fillet/tilt fillet.

This goes against everything I was taught. Lead should go over the facia, valley boards haven’t come down far enough to prevent the lead from sagging...etc. Agree about the batten across the eve.

We must have gone to school at around the same time . Nuralite being the connection. They must have lobbied at high level to get that product included in the college work and on site, using a mole skin to smooth the folds etc. Funny enough i just passed a factory where i fitted nuralite some 50years ago in Essex.

Best off getting the shape then taking the flashing off and putting it on a hard surface as not to fracture the slates etc and gives a far better finish imo

No disrespect, but this video is only teaching people how to bodge a simple bit of lead work. If I did this on site I’d be requested to replace that creased tin pot with a lead valley in my own time

Steven Ec lets see you do better chump! The main point he was showing was how to do it without thinning the lead and the way he done it would probably get the 50 year guarantee the lead manufacturer gives. I can smash round back gutters and all sorts of details and make them neat but I would never get a manufacturers guarantee! Let’s see your efforts Steven.
