How to build a small pitched roof- 2

[@deanoh6414]

For all these "woods are too small" and "birdsmouth should be at bottom" comments, it's 3 rows of tiles ffs. Flashing was fine and providing the rafters are joined at the fascia end with 12 gauge or above, it's plenty. It's a very good job sir. Fall on guttering is steep but hey you could fix that easily if you were so bothered. Haters gonna hate.

[@BurnleyFreefighters]

flashing was not fine at all max flashing is 1.5 meter to allow for thermal expansion

[@Evertonian1968]

Another great build Chris ! I cannot understand all the negative comments . I challenge all you keyboard Bob the builders to upload your how to videos.

[@blmagic2563]

Great build lol, so you be happy if you paid a contractor to leave it like that?? People post vids in social media expect negatives.

[@foundationgood123]

@@blmagic2563 I notice most peeps filter out the negatives I've allowed them- I find them amusing😂

[@mohdaakram5077]

have u any experince of building a rectangular porch around 5 windaw circular bay and roofing around the bay as part of porch?

[@Dudemieser]

The first thing i noticed, should there be a flashing between the brick and wood? And shouldnt the wood against brick/concrete be treated?

[@glynndraper437]

No it shouldn't be treated it doesn't matter if your roofing is sound .

[@JamesMalcWood]

What angle is this canopy roof? 45 degrees? Thinking of building one myself. Thanks!

[@jhhrogers]

What is the wood specification please? Like thickness etc

[@mikebrannan4593]

Hi, what whats the minimum size Joists can you use on a 8ft extension. To keep the pitch down to 15°? Because bedrooms window on back. Thanks

[@Yeshuaschosen]

Ignore the nasty comments from the naysayers who couldn't build a sawhorse if their life depended on it. Thanks for the video!

[@karlbr2143]

Cheers mate shop fitter buy trade just putting a roof on at home so really helpful

[@francosalvia425]

What size joists would i need for 2m. Sloping downwards lean to ?

[@mkr9103]

How much did materials cost mate?

[@nazamosey1646]

Can we have sizes ? And do they need to be treated ?

[@andyfielding2060]

Shocking.......! where do you start on all the things that are wrong with this build?

[@Andy-px1mj]

Name them then or stay quiet mate

[@andyfielding2060]

@@Andy-px1mj So to start, ridge board is too small and rafters should be flat against it for the complete depth of plumb cut and not birdsmouthed over it because it is too small. Also rafter should be sitting on a wall plate at bottom and birdsmouthed. The lead work is shocking. the guttering has too much fall and only needed to be marginally out of level. the down pipe from above should not run into the new gutter like that and will probably shoot over in heavy rain. never mind the fact that he left all the old timbers in there instead of replacing with new? you did ask.

[@redrobredrob]

Oh come on AndyFielding.... You missed a load.....he had a tape measure and some insulation covering up, what must have been huge gaps in the bird mouths. The lead work was dressed with a pick axe, and on and on and on...........I’m trying hard to think of something he actually got right!

[@PaulJ1985]

Add a vid. Show us the correct way

[@jayhennessy8479]

Strategical placed insulation and tape measure in front of cuts on wall plate, I wonder why? 🤔

[@neill6685]

Hi Chris I would like to build something the same over my back door what did you use for the cladding on the ends and on the bottom above the window also where did you get the tiles and angled end pieces to close the ends many thanks

[@frankieporter6071]

Yeah man!! your easy to learn from pal

[@damien3225]

Where do I start?? Notched around wall trimmer plate, bit of a pterodactyl mouth instead of the common birds, which is, as previously mentioned, at the wrong end. What are the rafters actually sitting on?? It's a sliding bevel not a sliding ruler.450mm centres? 400 please. And finally, the biggy, cavity tray... tut tut tut. Now for the positives...Compliments on your sliding bevel being so clean and well, brand new looking. And your timber choice,,, lovely straight clean lengths. Please don't do any more roofs.

[@asifjavedcloud]

Hi you seem to know what your talking about, can I ask you please, how much would this job cost to the customer if done properly?

[@stevewilson4801]

how did you point in your lead...ie mate.not cement?. more dimples in that side lead,did you use your hammer wrong tool,and yes your angle for your guttering is also wrong.sorry.

[@Expara80]

Hi if you wanted to put a hip on both end instead of finishing it square, how do you find the angle of the last rafters?

[@georgemorley5744]

Hi Chris just wondering, a friend asked me to knock a wall down through his living room to his kitchen and Im going to install an RSJ steel beam. but my question is, would i need to get a building inspector around to check it all? Cheers.

[@adamgatter3634]

As it's a load bearing wall yes you will mate. He will need to calculate the weight. However before starting any work you need structure engineer to do his calculations. You can then send a copy to building control. (Mate may want to save money, but isn't worth the prison time, gross negligence never ends well) Building inspector needs to see padstones , rsj requirements, fire proofing requirements... Double plaster board.. etc. Hope this helps

[@kurtbrown2244]

what a mess,why such a big fall on guttering?

[@the-colonel9809]

Not to mention the underlay felt hanging into the gutter

[@shiftyboye2]

Great video. I really appreciate that you're trying to help people learn how to do roofs. However. If you're going to teach. You have to teach by the book. This video contains several errors that do not comply with industry standards. Timbers. Are always 400 or 600 centres. Whether its joisting. Partition walls or roofing. Its the same. The birds mouth shouldn't remove more than 1/3 the width of the timber due to the reduced structural integrity. It becomes a weaker joint. The birds mouth is always at the joint of the fascier and soffit. (At the bottom). Your intended audience are diy'ers and you didn't give any detail on the waterproofing aspect of the roof. The vapour barrier. The positioning of the tiles. How to dress the edges of the roof with the lead work. You also clearly showed no regard for the health and safety at work that would relate to the undertaking of a project like this. Which given that your audience are not professionals and wouldnt know better. Is irresponsible. If a DIY'er watches this video. I would encourage them to take nothing from it. They will not achieve a high standard finish from following this and their risk of injury is high. Please consider all these points when making future videos. Let's all be one level of professional.

[@hotpoker4212]

Why is there so much space difference, between the drain spouting,and the roof tiles, on the front of the porch

[@GSMSfromFV]

Chris, very nice. Blends in well and looks like it was part of the original construction.

[@Montecinos503]

Good job ... I'm wondering to know if we need to put silicone into the holes for the bolts to avoid water from rain ...

[@simbielallable]

Can you provide a material list?

[@carmelpule6954]

Fits its purpose, but not so elegant with unmatched aesthetics. The support structure is basically very minimal and something to hide. The lead is terribly maltreated and unsightly. The triangular white ends provide too much contrast, are unmatched and should be black. The system as 3:27 without right support is good enough as the support does not balance the door. The plastic gutter support would age and one doubts if they hold on a windy day. A few coats of wood preservative would have protected the wood from dew and moisture. All work should be a thing of beauty, and not just utility.

[@illmitchjax]

Why?

[@gregrichard9192]

Great job bro. For some reason I don't trust those type of masonry bolts.

[@TheTattooedCrafter]

We’d love to do something like this for our existing porch, converting the flat into a pitched. Do we need planning permission to start this project?

[@foundationgood123]

The Tattooed Crafter Hiya, no you don’t but if its concerning you give your local building control a call and they’ll be happy to advise you

[@honda123463]

Great job , what size timbers have you used? 4x2?

[@foundationgood123]

Stank you, yes mate 4x2

[@graphomanuk8544]

Can you use a special filler for the flashing wall connection to prevent cement drop out over the years due to expansion.

[@granty4955]

That would have been a great video if you had shown the whole process.

[@fontane007]

Great video but would love more detail as this is something I would like to attempt myself

[@johnfinch2493]

It not great....it really isnt. If you want more detail watch someone like Robin Clevett. You will only learn how to bodge a job with the guy.

[@LewieLeway]

Personally I hate pan tiles on low level small pitched roofs. Looks bulky and messy. Customers choice though. I prefer plain tiles in the same colour as the main roof. Looks much neater. And I agree with a comment below, the light has been reduced with zero gain. The extended canopy serves no purpose. Workmanship wise, I'm afraid it leaves alot to be desired. The lead looks like it's been dressed using a hammer. Hollow soffit is just that, soffit and shouldn't be used for cladding. The fascia should have continued around the side and proper cladding board fitted. The fall on the gutter is ridiculous. Edit. Just looked at some of your other vids. You are obviously a decent brickie having a go at other 'stuff'.

He could have just installed a fibreboard and pointed up the verge with a touch of black colouring in the cement. Putting three dry verge onto any verge is going to look stupid and bulky
