You could have trimmed the ragged ends of the old membrane as they serve no purpose and eave protectors should be under the membrane as was said already. Well done for having a go at fixing a roof anyway, just they need ladders etc makes them a pain. I’ve a phobia of heights so it’s tough tackling my roof but I did it.

Honestly, you get what you pay for & this is evident from the workmanship. All cables lying around, not a cable cleat in site. Looking at the single cable down to the switches I’d assume they’ve used a 3 plate method, but regs now we should be taking the feed to the switch, so this already doesn’t comply with latest regs. Shame on them.

I had a little water coming into my loft where the lead was covering the tiles where you put the flash banding (water was tracking underneath like yours for the same reason - not enough overlap), but I used some leadmate caulking between the tiles and the lead flashing. It did the trick and has lasted a few years, but I might try the flash banding you used next time - I don't know if it was around when I used the leadmate. As a DIYer myself, I was impressed by how you interpreted how things went together, why, and how you could make it better. Keep up the good work!

add some sort of mesh to the product even if it says it doesnt need it. that or ger a product that needs it because i dont care what it says it always needs mesh over openings like that. it will seal it for some time but not nearly as long as it could be sealed.

I have a small garden at the front of my house. The soil is hard it’s hard to dig there was a bush in there before many years ago but they took it out if I do this it would fit about 2 bush trees width and maybe 4 along the front I want this for privacy. Do I need to put different soil down?

I would turn the soil as much as possible to get air into it, make sure all the roots are removed from the old bush and then mix in some fresh top soil or compost to give them the bast chance

Please I had a front half roof replaced on 1900s terraced house. The reason the roof failed of 40 years maybe, was the felt at the eaves had disintergrated allowing water that had penetrated the roof slates to not to reach the gutter. The roof was fitted recently with no eaves suport trays. I insisted the roofer fit them eaves support trays, he said I did not need them. I told him that modern current practices would include them on a replacement roof. From my commonsense am I right and should they be fitted as normal practice? Many thanks
@froywhernside4 ай бұрын
I'm not a roofer but I don't see why they would not be fitted. They stop the membrane sagging long-term.

@@froywhernside Many thanks, every other person except my roofer completely agrees the need for the trays to be fitted. After a direct request my roofer fitted the eaves trays, requiring the new slates to be refitted to allow the trays to be nailed to the rafters. Commonsense many thanks for your confirmation.

Quick update, I did it and it worked! I can't stress enough how awkward and heavy a window can be, the one I did was wider square shaped window and I hugely underestimated it's weight. Even though you can lift it, making the tiny manoeuvres needed to line up the screw holes is super awkward so I'd recommend doing it with someone else to feed the screws in while you hold it. Thanks loads for your video, there are a lot on here of this job and this is by far the most comprehensive. 👌
