Getting The Dormer Ready **WORKING ON MY OWN HOUSE** (EPISODE 5)

In this video I'm back on my own place working on the dormer. I fit the lead flashings up the sides. Stainless steel fly/insect mesh. And do all the timberwork to the dormer. Making sure there is adequate ventilation ready for the lead to be installed.
I hope you enjoy.

I knew you'd do that in lead. I'm looking fwd to seeing the process. It's going to look amazing.

[@slbleadworks]

I hope so too. Thanks for watching

I think you need to do more vids working on your roof. Show us your mate does the round roof.

[@slbleadworks]

Thank you. I’ve done another vid on my roof recently.

[@mrv123weir]

Your gonna finish your dorma in Lead? Hats off to ya, gonna look smart that, looking forward to next vid 👍🏻

[@slbleadworks]

Yes that’s the plan. Just so busy at the moment so it’s having to be put on hold.

[@tomalley798]

Now that’s what you call water and cockroach tight

[@slbleadworks]

Thank you and thanks for watching.

Great vids! I'm not in the biz, but I understand you're supposed to use construction paper behind lead , but you didn't use it on the cheeks? Why is that? Also vapour barrier on top of breather membrane? I didn't know that was a thing? Thanks Mark

[@slbleadworks]

Hi Mark. Yes you need to use grade A building paper. I will do before I put the lead on. I’ve Just covered the dormer with the felt breather membrane to protect the ply untill I can lead it. And I called it a vapour barrier. But it’s just another breather membrane as there was so many holes in the first layer.

[@mohammadahmad0790]

Does it ventilate into the soffit? Or is it just the slither at the top

[@slbleadworks]

It has an airflow from underneath and I did design it to vent out the slither out of the top too. But I might be changing that.

[@clintshearer9131]

Is the dorma roof going to be lead as well?

[@slbleadworks]

No I’m having tiles up there.

[@thomashowes7198]

Hi Stuart, why do you use a breather membrane and a vapour barrier over the top?

[@slbleadworks]

Hi. It was a bad choice of words. It’s just a breather membrane.
