Installing Code 5 Lead Bays To A Pitched Bay Roof **COMPLETE PROCESS**

In this video I install code 5 lead bays to a pitched bay roof. This video Is a bit of a long one as I've shown the complete process. I hope you enjoy.

[@rufuscove1443]

You do a lovely job… Please don't stop the videos

[@slbleadworks]

Thank you and thanks for watching. I’ll do my best to keep the vids coming.

A pleasure to see a true craftsman in operation......a rare breed. Beautiful work that you can be proud of.

Haven’t had popcorn for a long time. But when I saw one hour on the clock, had to pop some corn. Had some whiners around me complaining as to what is that irritating tapping sound and to what I’m watching. I said it’s the new musical by SLB lead works. Can you imagine to the sound of their ears, one hour of tapping. Anyways, thanks for the documentary.

[@slbleadworks]

Yes it ended up quite long lol🤦🏻‍♂️😂. Thank you so much for watching. Did you make it untill the end ?. To be honest I thought the length of the vid might put people off. But actually it’s doing ok on views so far.

Great work Stuart id like to see you bossing the lead in at the wall over the rools

[@slbleadworks]

Thank you and thanks for watching. I’ll see what I can do next time.

Excellent Stuart, therapeutic , I did a first steps lead welding course in wales, but I find it so hard/pressure of welding in place and up hill, welding is 25% successful filling holes vertically, 😂Your a master👍🙏 God bless

[@slbleadworks]

Thank you and thanks for watching. You should take a trip to Brighton. I’d get you welding in no time.

[@robertmyatt2755]

@@slbleadworks You do courses? I was at Brighton back in November for the eubank boxing at the Brighton centre, I’m a boxing inspector on the side. Yes I do basics but welding in place and up hill is so tough, hit and miss. Not confident yet 👍🙏

[@slbleadworks]

@@robertmyatt2755 it’s something I’m thinking about doing on a 1 to 1 basis.

Yes great, I’ll pop to have a day with you upgrading the little I do . God bless Stuart. 🙏

That turned out a treat.Two questions:why the copper band and what's the purpose of the paper sheet?

[@slbleadworks]

Thank you. The copper strip is used to create a straight drip edge. It’s also used to prevent wind lift. The building paper reduces corrosive attract from the plywood. Thanks for watching.

[@neilrafferty2097]

@slbleadworks Thankyou.

Hi, what's the reason for marking the timber roll please?(24.24) can it be done without it? I'm a slater & tiler but I cut and weld everything whether it's front trays back gutters ect, my welding is a similar standard to yours but I was never taught to do bay roofs, timber roll work ect. Given the fact I work with lead every day and I'm already a good welder I'm planning on giving it a go as I've got a little bay window job that needs doing. The bossing round the timber roll is something I can do a couple of practices of in my shed but I'm slightly unsure about the upstand at the abutment of the wall. Thanks for sharing your work.

[@slbleadworks]

Hi, I Just use the timber roll to give me the height etc so I know where to cut. Yes you could do this without it. Thank for watching. I hope your bay window went or goes ok.

[@Simon__Davies]

Hey Stuart. Looks really good as always. You really need to sort that plumbing torch out 😉😅 i feel for you. Have you tried taking it apart a little bit. Maybe take the nozzle off and check for spark? My torch packed up a few years ago and it turned out some saw dust or something went down the tube. I cleared it out and its been perfect on the trigger ever since. Cheers 🔥

[@slbleadworks]

Thank you. As this is my most recent vid. Does this mean you’ve watched them all now ?. I have tried to fix the ignition. But so far I’ve had no luck. I’ll try taking it apart like you suggest and see how I get on.

[@Simon__Davies]

@@slbleadworks i dont think i've seen them all. I just watch them as suggested to me. So not in any particular order. Not quite sure how i check 😅

[@slbleadworks]

You should teach mate. Oh , you are! I have 3 flat bays a porch and a garage and the price s I have been quoted are out of my budget. I binged watched your vids and they are brilliant. Thanks very much. My son in law has promised to do them if I get the gear is there a welding equipment supplier that you’d recommend?

[@slbleadworks]

Yes. Go on the welders warehouse website.

@@slbleadworks thank you - I have already obtained a range of traditional hand tools 👍

@@slbleadworks cheers mate

[@majorwhite51]

Nice job lad, better to use stainless instead of copper, as copper reacts to lead (been doing this for 49 years) fleece better than building paper as the paper sticks and restricts the movement of the lead, not criticising at all, keep up the good work

[@MrFlynnytwo]

what is fleece? Trying to learn to do it

[@majorwhite51]

@@MrFlynnytwo fibrous matting, designed for between lead and base/wood etc easy to find still get it on the lead sites

Another quality job in the cold. At least UK not as cold as US or Canada. -25C. No thanks. In Australia we are sweltering at 40 C. Somewhere in between would be much nicer.

[@slbleadworks]

Thank you. It’s been -2 doing this job. That was cold enough. -25 no thanks. I think I need to move to Australia.

[@user-ol8jh6ji4u]

Great videos. Is there another product you can use that isn't building paper? As a flat roofer it's the worst thing and is the cause of a lot of fires as a lot of building are wrapped in it as well.

[@slbleadworks]

Thank you. You’re supposed to use building paper all the time. I’ve known some lead workers to use breathable roofing felt. But I suppose that’s just as flammable.

[@multirole240]

Excellent work as always Stuart. Nice to see you back working. Ali the very best for 2024 and hope the back continues to improve. just out of interest what would be the approximate cost of a job like this?

[@slbleadworks]

Thank you I really enjoyed this. I think it was around £1400.00 to supply and fit.

[@clintshearer9131]

You made the lead look easier than the paper to put on😂

Nice work, What brand beaters do you use?

Thank you. I don’t think my dressers are branded. Just some I managed to pick up from eBay. Thanks for watching.

I'm going to buy a set and want to buy a quality set and not buy twice like my wooden dressers, thanks for the reply.

@@tristanevans01 I brought a 5 piece set from eBay. I think it was around £65.00. Comes with a dresser,bossing stick,setting in stick,ducks foot, and chase wedge. And it’s lasted for years .

[@kennethtorrens1223]

Start off with more lovly work stuart as per,,,,,,,,,,,,,,but for my What is the reason or is it a preference of doing a double over cloak as apposed to under and over all the way ??? Quite interested

[@kennethtorrens1223]

Predictive tx lol

[@slbleadworks]

Thank you. I done the double over cloak so the lead went the same way over the hips. So Just for ascetics really.

[@raftt8050]

do u use code 5 for all type of roofs and dromers?

[@raftt8050]

also do u have any video working on a mansard dormer?

[@slbleadworks]

Flat roofing starts in code 5 upwards. With code 5 being the most common. Dormers cheeks can be done in code 4 depending on the size. But code 5 is much better and a nicer finish.

[@slbleadworks]

No I don’t think I have mansard dormers. But everything else lol.

Dude teach me

I’d love to. Thanks for watching. Did you make it until the end ?

[@tomalley798]

I must say Stuart. Einstein and free masonry did not understand the concept of Alchemy. If they sat and watched you weave your magic. They would understand how to convert lead to gold.
