I hope Lewis has an apprentice looking over his shoulder - we need more people like him

[@ivanosikin1383]

the conscious work we do today echoes in eternity.

WOW,...Lewis really is the master of his craft.I hope he is passing on his skills and knowledge to other people.

A Lead Artisan

[@laapulsford]

WOW, WOW, WOW, the lead work carried out by Lewis is incredible - he is not a builder, the man is an artist!

[@T8RTU]

The very best diy’er knows when to ask for help...it’s a strength not a weakness, plus you get to learn faster and avoid any mistakes. Here’s the thing, you did a great job on the roof Tim. It’s something to be well proud of. 😎👍✅

[@T8RTU]

@Bob Charlie and that’s the truth 👌

[@AuntieDeb71]

Wow... smooth as the icing on a wedding cake. Rare skills.

[@peterdawson5115]

From someone who spent a lot of my time as a Plumber doing lead work, that job looks fantastic.👍

[@alanshealy3061]

That’s great work in the US that would be a steel ridge cap and a lot of silicone and 20 years later your doing it again I’m glad there’s still guys doing it the old way!👍👍

[@seanmeads9400]

Cracking lead job ,, heat and patients

[@bryanwatt9751]

Wow, that is handcrafted beauty Lewis!

[@andyphillips7437]

When a functional piece of waterproofing turns into a work of art....

[@littleoleking3952]

What a skill. Lovely work. *No lead was harmed in the making of this video.

[@boneav83]

Thats impressive lead-work, he knows his onions 🙂

[@paulcousins666]

stunning!

[@alphabetsoup7918]

What a craftsman Lewis is, it looks terrific.

[@mikey673442]

It’s so great to watch a true craftsman at work. Lovely job. Thank You for sharing.

Leadworking scills are phenomenal.

[@paulsims7161]

[@lukemagee462]

Defo got your moneys worth with him. Looks spot on!

[@cowboyal75]

That lead work really is a piece of work. 🤩

[@athloneduke]

Great to see a Master at work, but cannot take from the great job you did on the entire roof, looking forward to the scaffolding coming down

[@JohnMason-Hill]

A master craftsman for certain!

[@ukconstruction]

Much Respect to my fellow craftsman, happy new year to you and your family!! Best wishes Robin

[@graemejones3575]

Here in Australia we use cheap tin and Pop rivets and silicon it’s horrendous workmanship this is amazing

[@stevemnmeep2296]

Tip top Craftsman skill , Respect , love the welds ,Its a skill you got it or not , Well Done, Nice to see a young lad doing Superb work .

[@janicekrech8052]

A true work of art. Beautiful and totally functional. Wow.

[@markmccrory2135]

great to see young British guys in the building industry showing thier skills,

[@lawrencedyson6434]

Beautiful looking roof!

[@anaitali8256]

One word, ‘Excellent.’

[@SK-xg9rs]

8 thumbs down... really 😳 probably cowboys crying staying home without the job. Great workmanship, excellent skills👍🏻

[@TheRestorationCouple]

Thanks 👍

[@matthewbainbridge3483]

That vertical weld on the step flashing is spot on, and makes all the difference 👍🏻👍🏻

[@ABell676]

Really does, absolute master of his craft.

[@stufq]

Wow that is so cool and beautiful! 👌

[@richardbinnie]

Lewis makes all of this and the lead burning in particular look so easy. Lead burning up an incline is one of the most difficult things I have ever tried to do and something that I never mastered. Thanks for sharing this.

[@PeteBrisbourne]

Always great to see someone who is willing to teach and pass on knowledge and experience. Great stuff.

[@ridgmont61]

Stunning work.

[@paulwoods4710]

Absolutely stunning craftsmanship. No wonder Lewis is in such high demand.👍

[@Brown969]

That's great to have such a quality tradesman leading you along on those tricky flashings. It's advice like this that leads to hefty tips in his Christmas card!!

[@charliedavenport9609]

Looks fantastic, Lewis is certainly an artist.

[@elizabethamizdail7939]

Wow!!!

[@jamiedavies8795]

Awesome 👌

[@s9enny]

Top work great info my grandfather was a plumber pre war he was a master of lead work such a dying skill 👍

[@adamjamro23]

Amazing job done by Lewis. Well done mate

[@jockwalker24]

So many have said it already but can't not comment. Lewis' work is something else. Fantastic craftsmanship and kudos to him for passing on some skills to you ( and for coming to tidy things up after you'd had a go 😜)

[@mandyleeson1]

Good on you, Lewis. It's lovely to watch a craftsman at work. 🙏🏻

[@kriskennedy2557]

I often take the diy approach to almost all jobs. I don’t know any people in the trades personally and don’t know who to trust, separating the experts from the expert bulls**ters! Inspired by fantastic channels like this and accepting a job will take me 10 times longer than people in the trades, ‘if you can diy’ approach is definitely the best! (Whilst saving lots of money to buy tools for the next job 😀). I think this vid highlights the art of a skilled tradesman who is a master in their craft though and bow down to this level of work. Fantastic!

[@matt291183]

I've found Instagram a great help in finding quality trades people, theres some epic accounts out there for all sorts of trades.

[@sunglassesron]

Love leadwork done properly looks amazing so much better then the cheaper options

[@clarkington_1390]

Amazing skills! It looks stunning!

[@paulmoy9736]

What an incredible job.....It's so good to see a true professional at work.

[@alangarner4095]

Hi at one time I worked for the Gas Board and did some basic lead work but that is a different level altogether. Fantastic job love to watch artists at work .👍🏻

[@andybrown169]

Quality, what a craftsman.

[@bus249a9]

I agree. He made it look so easy. Beautiful work

[@James-hd2kf]

Top work Lewis. Your work looks first class and that welding looks amazing 👏👏

[@alisonearll2474]

Amazing! I bet that took Lewis hours, real craftmanship

[@johnhetherington9695]

That's top workmanship right there. Class

[@ABell676]

Very impressive

[@squintclinic]

Some beautiful lead work. I have to say, you’re lucky you found someone who obviously has such pride in their work. I was left to dress all the lead on a large up and over roof with two hipped bays after our roofer lost the plot. His attempt at the lead work on one tile hung bay was laughable. Only he didn’t find it funny, he just threw a massive wobbly when I said I wasn’t happy. I ended up stripping the hanging tile, which was just as well as the felt and batten was terrible too. On the plus side I can now tile hang and cope with most flashing jobs (I’ve done a few since then). Anyway, point being - lead work is definitely an art that is set quite apart from general roofing jobs. Well done both of you!

[@moneyfornothing3264]

That is beautiful. Wow.

[@bobbyprivate]

Wow. Brilliant work on the roof. Such skill! 💎💎💎

[@markledger6514]

So impressed with the whole roof, looks awesome 👏🏿

[@Andrewp696]

Really brilliant leadwork 👍

[@stevestrange2004]

As one who has done this work, all I can say is wow!!

[@matt291183]

Why do I find lead and copper work so satisfying? 😍

[@colinmiles1052]

Brilliant work! Some people say lead is nasty stuff. I say, if you don't try to eat it , it's beautiful stuff. No modern replacement. Lewis' work is second to none. You are not far behind! Keep it up! and Thanks!!! Happy New Year!!

[@taxibirtfx3]

That's incredible work. Proper artist

[@shavenhaven6869]

Absolutely stunning!!

[@jlmfoy365]

Watching Lewis Lead Welding and burning I started wondering if I could still do that. Then I thought could you blazes you daft old sod. Fabulous job, a real work of art and a joy to watch. Happy New Year Tim to you and yours. Regards Jim

[@stevemnmeep2296]

I hear you mate , Used to do it years ago and wipe old lead water joints with tallow .. lol
