COMPLETE ROOF IN A DAY - Fully Insulated and Weathertight in 8 HOURS

[@jandavis1523]

A spectacular accomplishment! So exciting to see all of your dreams for this house coming true with a lot of hard work planning for this, the farm channel and the new 👶. ❤

[@barrieneill410]

It will be great building out the home under a roof rather than working in the wet a waiting for everything to dry out. It will be interesting to see how soon the exterior walls go up and glazing added to keep out the driven rain. Great series. Well done.

[@dougsaunders8109]

Wow bloody quick, excellent result by the looks of it. With the variable weather I would want to be getting the sides on quick to stop the potential of the wind getting underneath

[@williamwales6619]

Now that's what ye call a good days work. Not forgetting the work that was done under the cover. Good Job.👍

[@nigelbullock9039]

What a build...what a day. Great video and so good to have a roof on your massive build project.

[@djburland]

Wow a fabulous job done by those roofers and the crane driver

[@garyosborne-6958]

Not a lot to say to that apart from, "very impressive". a solid days work👌👍

[@therutlander6344]

What a satisfying day that will have been. Congratulations. I have to say though that as a former lawyer and a property developer you are going to have to step up the compliance with health and safety or your insurance isn’t going to cover any accidents. I know it is irritating but it’s the way of the world. All the very best in the shade of a roof on this scorching day.

[@johnhendy803]

Amazing, fantastic job to all involved. :)

[@tom314]

that's seriously impressive, I'm always amazed how quickly projects like this come along, there's months of prep them it's suddenly done.

[@cornwallkid100]

Amazing job lads 👌👌👌

[@markgb9227]

Wow you have come far, i checked in on you a year or two ago and you were showing fence builds, now this! congratulations on taking on such a big project and doing so well, amazing to see what is acheivalbe.

[@DevonDaggers]

We just put the 80mm version of this product on our workshop roof. It's been great in the heat with the loft only getting warm evening in full sunshine. Insulated Panel Store were really helpful and a great price too! Our roof is only 9x6 meters. This is on another level! Huge!

[@TheRestorationCouple]

Yeah used 80mm first time around on my workshop which worked great.

[@kennywatson249]

Did you go over an existing roof with them or? I'm looking to use these but unsure what sort of structure for underneath.

[@DevonDaggers]

I kept the purlin but got rid of all the rafters and put a new wall plate top and bottom as mine was very old and pretty rotten.

[@AutojungleCoUk100]

These panels are incredible, we fitted some to an outbuilding and it was exceptionally easy

[@stevenbennett3922]

Very smart and a good job, well done.

[@frankmckie2992]

Big job done with ease .... Good for all involved

[@hans.vbaalen]

A big majority of residential buildings in the Netherlands are build with SIPS pretty much like this. Most are tiled on top, but it creates an instant living space in the loft as well.

[@54mgtf22]

Cool 😎

[@alexanderclarke2774]

Hi Tim, Aldi want their building back. Only kidding epic day.

[@matthewwakeham2206]

There is a lot of fine detail getting the building weather tight, air tight and no thermal bridging. Glad your on the case! Loads of fire rated squirty foam required!

[@cttravels5244]

Exciting.

Hi great job on the barn job an the roof 👋✅

Hooray! I've been looking forward to this video! ❤

[@terrymorton9941]

Epic!

[@09conrado]

The big barn near my shop is covered in this. One thing I noticed is that it's always popping and making cracking noises, I suppose from stretch and crimp in the temperature changes. The longer the sheets, the more noise they make. I wonder if you'll have the same noisy roof there.

[@TheRestorationCouple]

Yeah it does a little if particularly hot however with the ceiling and additional insulation below it shouldn’t be that noticeable. Perhaps less so if a light colour roof.

[@oskarsmillers]

Congratulations! 🥳 You got a Roof😂. Well done job 👏

[@H2Dwoat]

Hi, big roof lends itself to big solar. That’s of course if planning allows it. What would be really cool is if the panel manufacturer managed to incorporate all of the solar infrastructure during the panel manufacture. Controlled conditions for weather proofing.

[@athloneduke]

Lovely job, how it will shine when its full of solar panels.....

[@joeappleton9213]

Great job Tim ! The crane and an experienced team worked well for you today I can’t wait to see the details in the installation in a future video , by the look of the purlins did you paint them with zinc ? I was wondering to do similar or use intumescent flame retardant paint to protect the steels including the large steels on the portal frame I like the idea of single run sheets but do they expand/ contract more in long runs ? Our build is about 7m runs per side and deciding on whether to do ours in single runs after watching your install… thanks for the informative videos Tim 👍

[@BillyNoMates1974]

Note: Turbo Chicken at 14:06 thats the real gaffer on the job, making sure everything goes ´cluck´ together

[@RikJohnston]

I used to install insulated panels on industrial and agricultural portal frames. I'm always seriously impressed with them but I've never seen them used for residential use. Do you have an idea of the lifespan in this case? The thickest panels I ever saw installed were 100mm, yours look more like 150mm or thicker - looks like it'll be a warm home when finished!

[@philipelliott5821]

That went well. It can rain and snow now.😂😂

[@vaalrus]

Working with a professional crane crew is a joy. We had to remove just over a dozen and a half 4 storey tall widowmaker poplars from a property where they had reached the perilous stage of their life, and were arching over the house they were too close to. 3 hours and they were in and out, not even a branch dropped on the house. (and no, for the gallery, this wasn’t an overreaction. The trees were very much leaning all the wrong ways, and too close to the house to use just a saw, even with a guide rope pull. We’d spent the previous 3 days clearing brush and similar trees with an excavator… enough of them that we were confident enough to cut down or pull down had rotted cores breaking well up the trunk that we just couldn’t risk it. )

[@Claznay]

I thought SIP roofs need to be built as Cold roofs, ie with venting between the insulation and roof surface, to deal with interstitial condensation. Do these come with such ventilation?

[@anderspjorgensen]

EPIC

[@kaicasswell1]

Nice to see air tightness details. What’s the overall build target for heat loss ?

[@mandyleeson1]

[@Sparrowhawk1962]

Tim, do you ever wonder how you went from fixing up your house and garden to this?.....😱

[@TheRestorationCouple]

Daily! 😅

[@Zeus_1983]

Slight colour variation in panels?

[@richardstevenson2727]

👍👊

[@TR-rz1xt]

I've paused at 13:11, thinking about what you just said about the speed at which you've achieved this. Why oh why for goodness sake do we not use these sorts of roofs on the majority of new-builds in the UK? Makes me weep sometimes, the lack of pragmatic common sense and desperate clinging to tradition. We cannot financially afford it.

[@dannymurphy1779]

Well one reason is they don't last that long by comparison with a traditional roof. I doubt you could have a loft either unless you plasterboarded, which adds additional weight.

[@OliWarner]

Can someone explain why it went up one sheet at a time? A pack isn't heavy (in building material terms) and can be broken down by hand in a tenth the time. Seemed like busywork. But I'm no roofer, genuine question.

[@TheRestorationCouple]

The original plan was to do a pack at a time with telehandler but there is quite a bit of prep to get the protective film off both sides of each and add the butyl all of which is far easier on the ground. Also far more chance of scratching underside of them if handling and sliding into position.

[@garytaylor2914]

Jesus mate, how much money do you have ? I remember you scribing shelves into a fireplace

Only what we got from selling those shelves and the house they were in. 😂

Do enjoy watching, however are you planning to house migrants in something so big ? Why exactly is it going tyo be so big ?

[@ndudman8]

@@jacksrus That is a bit nicer than a tin roof ? and I'm sure the whole build eventually will be very nice :) Good enough for migrants... now that they will get dispersed in the uk accross the country side, expensive areas of england won't get them, which is a shame.
