CRAZY LEADWORK SKILLS ON THE RIDGE and Starting the Step Flashings

[@Stop..carry-on]

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

[@manchia34]

Lewis is a real artist. The flashings look incredible.

[@colinbrooks5063]

a man who takes pride in his job.

[@laapulsford]

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

[@mr.z49]

I’ve never seen a more beautiful roof

[@AuntieDeb71]

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

[@alphabetsoup7918]

What a craftsman Lewis is, it looks terrific.

[@JL-hn6hi]

So glad you have this record for the kids to watch when they are older- beautiful.

[@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!👍👍

[@CKDJBOY123]

work of art that leadwork

[@littleoleking3952]

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

[@mikey673442]

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

[@markmccrory2135]

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

[@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 👌

[@peterdawson5115]

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

[@TAZTHEPOSTMAN]

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

[@janicekrech8052]

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

[@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!!

[@GrooverErn]

Lewis is great for guiding you, many tradesmen wouldnt.

[@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

[@echoewest2685]

That mans work is art. Beautiful.

[@nicolastacey8188]

What an absolute craftsman. Beautiful work.

[@cowboyal75]

That lead work really is a piece of work. 🤩

[@anaitali8256]

One word, ‘Excellent.’

[@matthewbainbridge3483]

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

[@ABell676]

Really does, absolute master of his craft.

[@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.

[@paulwoods4710]

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

[@graemejones3575]

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

[@JohnMason-Hill]

A master craftsman for certain!

[@lukemagee462]

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

[@mandyleeson1]

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

[@maggiesue4825]

What a superb bit of work!

[@MrJohnnynapalm7]

Quality workmanship 👌👍

[@ukconstruction]

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

[@PeteBrisbourne]

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

[@sunglassesron]

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

[@1stinenergylimitedmdevelop533]

Been in the job 25 years. Incredible work Never seen a job as good Period

[@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

[@chrissydidit811]

[@johnhetherington9695]

Awesome work👍

[@seanmeads9400]

Cracking lead job ,, heat and patients

[@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!

[@roar40s]

I'd like to come hug your roof! Cause I just love it!

[@h9rae]

Happy New Year to you and your family/ amazing video to watch this outstanding craftsman at work we need more like him

First class!

[@ILoveLegosDontYou]

My goodness this is beautiful work!

[@Shane_O]

Great update again... Happy New Year to you and your whole family. I think we can all say a happy goodbye to 2020. 👍

[@lmilne4859]

Tremendous looking work there.

[@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.

[@lugwalder]

Really neat

[@Andrewp696]

Really brilliant leadwork 👍
