Well I just reused the lead flashing that was already on the roof and kept the house dry for years. Can you elaborate please? Thanks for watching.

I did, but I'm probably a lot slower than tradesman, and time is money so I don't think paying a good tradesman is a bad option if you value your time. I don't have a social life so it was OK for me! Thanks for watching 👍

Getting on well. You should have fitted a proper front apron to base of chimney and lapped the soakers onto it. Check out Peter Scholey on YT. His demonstration of lead work to a chimney is absolutely spot on, bombproof.

Don't put nails in the middle of the slate water can get down between the joints from the one above. You should have a 150mm side lap

@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE 5 жыл бұрын

The hole you're referring to is covered by another slate, and the ridge tile. I mention it in the video. Hope that clears things up. Thanks for watching.

@noelreilly4359 5 жыл бұрын

If you look at the video you put one nail in the centre of the slate at 410 , 415 and at 650 in the video. Even though the next slate on top covers them nails the joint of the next slate above is right on top of it. water does penetrate across on the joints . There is supposed to be a 150 side lap .that's why the factory nail holes are out near the edge. I just thought I would tell you since your going to so much effort with your project. Keep up the good work thanks for the videos.

Give us an update, how many times have you returned to this job? The slates don't overlap correctly, eventually water finds the nails bringing corrosion to it and snap the lath. Not best practice mate.

@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE 3 жыл бұрын

Never gone back. I explained about the slates below the roof. Nails are copper, don't rust, and I did a bespoke set up with the membrane below flashing so it's working perfectly years later, not so much as a drip on one of the 3 windows in the worst of storms. Thanks for watching.

Should got the front apron in before you started slating

@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE 3 жыл бұрын

I was trying to get it water tight before I could finish if that makes sense. If you watch later videos I put a proper tray around it. Long winded way but suited my slow pace of working!!

Fibre cement slates. Man made and yes you can walk on them. They are Cembrit Jutland slates I think.

Leadworx.co.uk get yourself a proper wielded front apron mate they wield the corners that will cost you around £40/£50 tops in the grand scheme of things on what you spent it’s nothing and will give you complete peace of mind in all weather conditions. The way you done it with a soaker dressed round the corner works in most conditions but you can bet your lucky socks in extreme winds it will blow the rain under the soaker and cause you a leak. I use that company for all my lead wielding needs there based in Cornwall there quick and efficient at getting your order out to you too Your need to take out your first slate going up the chimney as well to get the front apron in properly but I’m sure you know that already though pouse
