How To Refix Roofing Ridge Tiles

[@ARSROOF]

Tile Roofs vent from underneath of each piece and the sofits, In most case according to if the underlayment was properly installed. This is the first video I have seen where the ridge cap is being mortared correctly. GOOD JOB !!!

[@patrickfitzmichael5940]

Thanks for sharing this. Now I can do mine. Called a guy to come do it for me but kept giving excuses and missing appointments then he said he came by and looked at it while I wasnt home and quoted me. I checked my security cameras and no one had been to my house. I told him to get poofed. I will do it myself. I will save a heap.

Great job I had a go on my roof first time and it was pretty tricky, you make it look so easy.

[@forbiddenforest5327]

thanks so much for this, very generous. Makes me laugh all grumpy builder comments below from perfectionists who charge a fortune - keep it up, mate - you've saved me £500 all ready.

[@Nigel_S452]

looks a real tidy job that, going to try to renew a couple today myself following your video. cheers

[@PeakyBlinder]

a real tidy job, you want to get your guide dog down to spec savers.

[@gnuPirate]

Great video, great choice of music. You're a star , thanks mate (:

[@chascarpenter5006]

Great job, love the music.

[@pauloconnor7951]

Great but why no colour ?. Australia we have separate flexible coloured pointing mix . Looks awesome !!!. Also we would reglaze the roof . Spray a durable coloured coating.

[@dunc0936]

I did only my second ridge tiles re bedding job today, in the rain which was prob not a good idea, I was using a tower system as the tiles were on the slopping part of the roof, the tiles were all wet due to the rain and I did not feel safe climbing on the roof. You guys make it look so easy, are soft trainers better than heavy safety boots for grip on the roof?

[@charls881]

Never do muck work in the wet, it makes a real mess and the muck goes to shit.

[@danmartin6515]

True roofer no hip runners all free hand 👌just how I do mine

[@Jo-xg6rk]

nice job. does it matter what type of sand you use in the mortar??> building, plastering, sharp sand etc...

[@kopynd1]

nice job mate, if I was not on crutches, I would swear that was me ridging

[@philipashton1443]

Well done.

[@r3n20kuk3n9999]

great job! doing my own roof at the moment, ridges next so thanks for the video :)

[@tk4270]

How is it u didn't use NHL-35 lime mix instead of sand & cement which crack and come off in 24 months.

[@waynesmith4976]

At 2:18 ish in the video where you see there is a little triangle of tile does this not need propping up somehow rather than just putting the ridge on. What would you suggest to do in the way of propping it?

[@franklyton]

beautiful work , thanks.

[@Abitofpinky]

Thank you,hope you get well soon.

[@KeithChegwin24]

Do I need to play porn music when I re-do mine?

[@kenco3370]

😂😂

[@mannysingh8295]

Lol couldn't stop laughing. although I did think at some point, where have I heard that type of music b4. I always read the comments sometimes you get good feedback and tips when you repairing your home car etc but seriously funny shit lad. God bless ya and i kw this is a old comment. I've only seen it today

[@cunkmusic8748]

Yeah and make sure the plumber calls to service the u bend...

[@Kingy76]

Try using a sponge or paint brush to finish off pointing, that’s a rough ass finish🤔

[@matthewwhite6575]

great track dude.i do get so much more done working to such classic porno sounds. good job too, buddy!

[@Abitofpinky]

This is the right way,it keeps it all strong!

[@joline2730]

You've done a really tidy job there - well done 💯💯✔✔

[@Abitofpinky]

This is the right way,it keep it all strong!

[@barnowl32]

Where did you tie your horse ?😱

[@patkeohane5005]

great music

[@iltonwhite]

Just watched this, as I lost a ridge tile last night. Looks like you're working in the Fairfield area.... 6:21 to 6:28 Great view of the Cleveland Hills..... A view I miss.

[@Nickpaintbrush]

Are you sure its the Cleveland hills, I live in Stockton?

[@sh2697]

what is the ratio cement to sand?

[@charls881]

Not the tidiest muck work, but he is quick. Depends if the customer wants a quick job or a nice clean looking job. ..I like the way people on here are saying that they're going to do their own roof. Leave it to the professionals for gods sake as its not that easy .

[@charls881]

Camera man was being a bit evasive in some of his filming wasn't he lol . Bit messy .

[@metallitech]

Do you reckon the mortar should be sponged? That would make it look much better and I wonder if it would be less crack-prone.

[@eazthitman]

I think you did really well free hand and without guide. Did you use a straight edge to line them up?. Also shame you never showed how you build up the ends with pieces of broken tile cemented together. I have always known this as pie :). I am currently doing all of them on my roof - total 67 ridge tiles due the the frost killing the cement when they were put up. - yes i know i should have used frost proofing but I took a gamble and lost :(. If you take these up and the pie is in good condition you can stick them at the pie with a fast setting foam such as insta-stick and just cement the sides. When I did mine originally I made my own guide by bending 2 pieces of 22mm copper pipe and bracing the tops. This worked just fine. Also to the guy who said about wetting the tile first, I think you suffer from ocd. 3 and 1 mix is good for a roof and I like to add a small amount of sbr admixture for added stick and more movement resistance.

[@benred2000]

out of interest. how does the ridge vent if mortared up?

[@Z3n1tHL0rD]

all the other tiles will vent

[@r3n20kuk3n9999]

Do you start on the corner slopes working upwards for a pitch roof?

[@joelg1215ify]

Thank u 4 that bluesy tutorial

[@thehophouse]

What is the music track? Fantastic!

[@patrickfitzmichael5940]

According to Shazam its Garrick Davis and his Fabulous Funky Band "GD Blues". Funky indeed my brother, Adding this one to my Fabulous Funky collection.

[@andrewhall8131]

Cool track

[@carloscarlos-cy7jx]

Thank you

[@Rosso2580]

I've just been quoted £800 for exactly the same job, is this way too much ???? I think it is

[@mikewatte4478]

jew

[@Rosso2580]

????

[@gdfggggg]

Secret to long lasting ridge tiles is plenty of cement. A nice chunky bed to sit them on too.

[@kenduve2487]

Don't you put in weep holes any more. I only ask this as I have a renovated roof that is leaking from the ridge capping. The weep holes haven't been put in.

[@patrickfitzmichael5940]

Would not "weep" hole make it leak more? Did you use flexible pointing?

[@eazthitman]

PS a plasterers gauging trowel is the best tool for the job!!

[@99clowns99]

Lovely job, what mix did you use mate? And did you use fine sharp, cheers for pinky

[@Abitofpinky]

Thank you very nice person

[@andybpm]

[@boredmillionaire9914]

[@alanex017]

@TheCrazyturnip How do you know ?

[@benitoff1]

This video is worth a look, kzbin.info/www/bejne/hKSvnYiNZsend7uohese are mechanically fixed with a clipn and a screw but you can also mortar bed them if thats the look you want.

[@stuartdobie216]

people who slag off other peoples work show there own insecurity and know deep down there not that good at what they do.

[@Abitofpinky]

The music is from youtube itself ,lookin music and the blues section its in there!

[@johnroope357]

you guys need to look at Flexipoint from the uk do yourself a favour and have a look you may learn something

[@skipstallion619]

old skool

[@TheThornes]

Dude... where's your harness. Thats too high up without one. One slip and it's all over bud!

[@PeakyBlinder]

dont give up your day job

[@gnuPirate]

I hope leaving lame useless put-down youtube comments on useful youtube videos is your day-job, because you are really good at that.

[@MegaSweep1]

oh my god you have 28 years exp, my friend your mix far too strong and when you lay a tile you must damp off the underside of the tile just a hand mister works fine , carl f has great buckets with the bottom cut out so u can leave the bucket safe when your not holding it, and the people who sell alot of screws sell metal arches which you can screw batten on so you keep a straight line and lay the bed of motar against it ,

[@dogboymalone11]

to be fair that terrible work i.ve seen it all now the pointing was ruff the hips were not bedded even ... 28 years more like 28 minutes

[@sorryrocco]

to much cement in the mix, no hip iron bottom ridge always goes on first every time served slater does that, but not this so called roofer. he cant point the mortor was left every where he cant even walk on the roof and last of all try getting a tilers trowel instead of a plasters gauging trowel if i did work like that id be sacked on the spot.

[@pauldavies5655]

not a bad job buddy from a roofer with 32 years experiance ! also as for scaffold , you should nt need it for that job ,,if EXPERIANCED !! i ve only fallen 3 times in 32 years !!

[@darrengreen2265]

3 times too much then!

[@pilotanimal192]

you get camber on a car ,

[@sorryrocco]

[@builderboy4642]

[@Rdbroofer]
