Brilliant video. You explain how to set out a job to perfection. Not many builders take the care you do with your jobs. Thank you.

These are great videos mate. Thanks so much for sharing your expertise. 👌

I always run my wall plates through to the outside skin , then you have something to fix your barge board to . Love the videos that you both do you can see that you like the banter which is what keeps us builders sane . 😅👍🏻

I’m a carpenter by trade but I’ve never done a roof, always worked internally abd 2nd fix (bar in college 20 years ago!). Just about to start the pitched roof on my own extension and this has been a fantastic reminder/education. Thanks 🙏

Enjoyed this video, nice workmanship, keep them coming 👍

My Sunday night complete, Sunday roast, glass of wine and watching you guys work… class tradesmen, keep it guys, it’s appreciated thumbs up 👍

These roofing videos are incredibly interesting 👍

Many thanks for taking the time out to explain tiles etc. I learnt a lot there. 👍👍👍

I have to say I am really enjoying your videos, I just wish I was still making similar ones but I have run out of projects and my wife tells me I am too old to start another lol. I did build a 40 sq m extension to my bungalow single headedly 4 years ago at the age of 75 including hand digging 130 ton of soil/clay/concrete etc so I can't complain. I did make a video if anyone is interested or thinks they are too old to start such a thing. Anyway keep up the good work

Really enjoyed this video. Explained really well.

Perfect timing Rich 🎉

Very enjoyable episode, you make it look easy.

Excellent stuff, nice one Richard and the guys. Bit late this time to the vid - been saving it lol. Hugely informative on the tiles and laths for a landscaper with pretensions to be a builder. Keep 'em coming. Thanks again.

Great job, a pleasure to watch and thanks for posting. Regards. Mike

Omg I didn't know there was so much to roofing, I am impressed with your work and expertise

Well done on the work and the quality of this video guys 👏👏 I’ve been watching your content since 4:30am this morning before I get ready to go work (in construction) and very much appreciate all the knowledge that you share throughout your projects 👍

Cracking video with great information 👍 so pleased to know their are tradesmen who care 😀 keep them coming 🤗

Another top rate video keep up the good work

Really great explanation - thanks.

Really good video very well explained

Huge - big thank you guys...

This is fantastic film. You're a natural

Very informative video. Thank you very much

Have to say, I was brought to your channel by KZfaq pushing your wonky patio/retaining wall video, and my initial thoughts were that you were a bit of a cowboy. I’ve watched this build progress and I’ve more and more come to realise that your standards are actually really high and I’m enjoying them. Completing a self build currently and building it to engineering rather than builder tolerances as it seemed finding someone to take the project on to a good standard was next to impossible after a proper dodgy cowboy starting it off so badly, along with countless bad experiences in other properties over the years.... Anyway, keep it up, really enjoying this now and the attention to detail is ticking all my boxes. 👍

Great video

Top wood work looks great 👍

Very good. Very interesting. Very helpful.

Brilliant work gents

Another quality video

A great series. Really enjoyed it and learned a lot. Couldn't see how the rafters were attached to the wall plate though?

Bit of swearing going on ! Like that 😂 . Brilliant work as usual

Top stuff RIch

You’re having a laff pal, it’s called a batten😂👍🏻

Another great video. Thank you! I have another question. Looking towards the extension from the garden, the LHS wall is in accessible due to the neighbours extension. What do you do about rendering the blocks in this case? Do they just sit without a covering? Cheers

Very interesting, but as a non builder person I’m wondering how strong the fixings are connecting the rafters to the house wall plate, is it only nails holding them in place. I’m not criticising but it just doesn’t seem strong enough to me to take the weight. Thanks for making this video 👍.

Quality video

very good explaination but please when you vedio do it slowly recording.

Mr A . Would you mind talking about budgeting costs for a similar sized build? I know people don’t like talking prices but it might help someone think before deciding to move forward with a major investment like this.

A pleasure to watch as always unlike the dodgy accent 🤣 class work as always 👍🏼 😀

Very informative video. Regarding the squares nailed onto the sides of the rafters, you said they were to fix the soffit to. Would not be better to rotate them 90 degrees so you would be nailing into side grain not end grain? Just wondering..

Hi Rich and some great info on how to set out the laths in the video. The line your pointing to at 18.31 on the video, am I right in saying that this is the top edge of a lath and not a tile. Also at 8.07 on the video did you say where the kneeler's going, what did you mean by that?

I run my soffit on top of the brick work and then pin it down with those soffit blocks, so much quicker

Don’t forget to take out cement joint for lead cover flashing first it’s easier

How much will it be the cost plz for 8x4m

Quality How wide should you leave for velux/Dakea/key light

Length rafter how thick ta

Should have took your wall plate further to hold and support ladder section, there’s a risk of sagging on the corner once tiled, and should have extended main wall beam to fix ladder section on to and put wall starter underneath

so do you have to put a lat + the thickness of a tile on the 1st row to keep the tiles at the same profile or not.?

What about solid bridging?

I'm about at this stage with my lean to extension roof. I have to construct a ladder at each end and made note that yo said you would use 120 x 6 screws. Are these screws special in any way? I have a supply of 100 x 6 stainless screws. The noggins will only be 200mm long for technical reasons. If you could reply I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you Have enjoyed watching your progress. Paul

is this guy for real

Why don't you use truss shoes on the rafters at the house end to help take the weight of just the nails

Will u put ladder frame on both sides of roof?

Your Velux base plates and header plate should be doubled up same as your rafters , also roof should be sheeted with 12mm OSB boards then felted, counter batons on rafters then tile batons

How do you price an extension is it about 2700 a square metre these days

I would have put the top lath level with the end of the rafter , your going to have a 50-60mm gap at the top that the lead will eventually settle in to , you could fill it with mortar...

What pitch is next doors peg tile roof?

Why are your velux trimmers plumb and not square to rafters? 🤔

I wasn't bothered by the audio or the wind, it was the hsircut that was scary. 😀😃🙂

Still no top birds mouth........the whole wait of the roof is being supported by the fixings, probably plasloade nails with the shear strength of a chocolate tooth pick. Using marley pan tiles adds a massive amount of weight at a guess about 1200kg. Velux windows 120kg x3. 1560kg all sitting on 3 nails per rafter nice.....

Down south we call it battens instead of laths 🤣

ware s the joist hangers I this guy for real

You should tell the bloke using the nail gun that you never shoot towards yourself!

You can’t have timber touching brickwork without a damp course in between, moisture will travel onto timber constantly 🤦‍♂️doesn’t matter if it’s treated

Don’t you you use straps

Mmmmm

At 4:13 😂🤯 shocking how that scaffolds middle standard has been spliced with swivels Bad practice.

Scaffold brace sleeved out and uprights spliced together, they scaffolders are cowboys. 😢

hope hse isn't watching lol

less talk more action, was getting bored
