Served my four year apprenticeship in 1984 on slating and roughcasted. Been in the building trade ever since and worked with real master craftsmen. Seen bad tradesmen and learned from the best, shunned the crap. Recently moved to Glasgow and on one of the jobs I needed a CSCS card. So I did a working at heights test for a blue card and passed. Sent in a copy of my apprenticeship papers and was told I'm not qualified. I need a city and guilds or svq or else I'm no Slater Roughcaster. They said I could do a one day course and they would qualify me as a labourer. After 35 years experience slating and tiling hundreds of roofs, rendering and plastering countless walls, building extensions to homes and garages counts for nothing. But CITB can qualify me in one day as a labourer, failing that I'm not qualified to to go on a building site. What a joke! This is only about them hogging the industry for money...

My apprenticeship and 35 year experience qualifies me. An Svq may give a qualification, but may never qualify you in life.

Why does a roofer need a hard hat when he's laying tile's is the sky going to fall on his head or is it to keep his head dry lol

@peterbalac1915 4 жыл бұрын

Hard hat is necessary just incase a jet loses an engine and it falls on you.🤕

@samuelmellars7855 3 жыл бұрын

Cos you're not on the roof all the time. And when you're not on the roof tools, materials, nails... can fall off the roof if some tosser lets things fall off.

Why are roofers being assesed for rendering?

@mde1953 3 жыл бұрын

Probably the worst apprenticeship to take on, back breaking labour for apprentice money just to earn barely £20 more a day once you qualify, site work wise. Every roofer I know says they wished they did something different.

tim paine Tim, with the greatest respect, you may be the best roofer on the planet but there are lots of roofers out there who have learned bad habits from people who don't know as much as you. Surely you can't argue with the concept of nationally applied standards. What assurance does the customer have that the roofer they hire is doing it right. The use of counter battens is a case in point. Some do, some don't but there are good reasons for using them with breather membranes.

@@SkillBuilder I get what you're saying, I started at 16 never touched any tools other than carry them up for my guvnor. Hat and pad was all I needed to nut the tiles up for the ist few months till I could balance them unaided. Once you mastered that you were allowed to help felt and batten knock the muck up run the asbestos 😬 on the verges and eventually run a virge and point them up, you always tiled in and nailed the appropriate courses. Worked for a bloke called Tom Jones hell of a grafter led by example but he was a bit rough work wise. Worked with a and for some amazing craftsmen over the years who I could gain great experience from. By 19 I was on my own employed some good lads and trained them up over the years.Never ever had to advertise and have made a great living mostly getting work through recommendation. Seen some Horrendous work used to have a portfolio of it to show customers. Times change I've done my bit cant be a bad thing this CITB course I'm glad I'm done this health and safety bollox would have done my head in, BUT it is there for a reason. It's a much easier job now than 60 years ago for sure having every thing lifted up for you nail guns ect. My old man was a hod carrier he said to me when I went into the building trade,,,, The man that said hard work never hurt anyone,,,, Never did any!!

Roofing and Rendering? I mean, i guess its for the chimneys? I loved how fucking shit that ridge looked. On the piss and two stupid small cuts, when he could have just split the difference between a few ridges. I don't get how you can miss a few nails on a roof that size haha. I guess this one was rigged to show mistakes?
