Evening Stuart….. hope yr well and drinking plenty of water… roofing in this type of weather is as much of a mental Challenge as well as physical … I’ve always said you’ve got to WANT to do this job cos it’s not easy at times… Excellent work as usual …. And a customer made cup of tea and bacon sandwich around 10 am is always a nice surprise…. And they are normally the sort of customer who I will go the extra Mile for if need be…. But yr customer looked like an elderly gentleman who probably made it as a peace offering….especially if u were playing radio 1 …!😂👍 Cheers my friend… Much love Chris…🙏👍

[@slbleadworks]

Thanks Chris the weather has definitely been challenging this week. And it looks like this extreme weather is going to happen more and more. I’ve decided to invest in a work fan. I think it will make those hot days so much more bearable. The lengths I’ll go to to get a fan 😳🤦🏻‍♂️😂. It was a really nice customer and as you say you want to go the extra mile for customers like that.

Lovely job mate.... standard. We got cream cakes today on the roofing job we're on... and beer's on a Friday to take home

[@slbleadworks]

Thank you. Oh wow that’s awesome. It’s really nice when the customer does something like that. Hopefully you’ve got a few more Fridays there.

[@mattclarke3893]

I see you weld over the wood rolls, could you do a video showing how this is done please mate.

[@slbleadworks]

Thank you. I’m pretty sure I have this on one of my vids. But I’ll do another one just in case. Next time the opportunity presents itself.

[@lefthandedscrewdriver3954]

Hi Stuart.... Another quality job 👌. I go to a boiler service once a year with a bacon and egg sandwich waiting for me on arrival

[@slbleadworks]

Thank you. That sounds like a lovely customer. Most times I’m lucky to get a cup of tea.

[@Simon__Davies]

Hey Stuart. Nice job 👍

[@slbleadworks]

[@Mark-Book]

Nice work!

[@slbleadworks]

Thank you and thanks for watching.

[@siteseeing7150]

brilliant job bud, just curios as only two bays, i would of thought at least three. is there reasoning behind this. nice to see you back.

[@slbleadworks]

Thank you. It was two bays as this was well within 1.2 square meters of which is the maximum size allowed for code 5.

[@derrick9635]

Is fiberglass eating into your work ? Lead work is such an art .I've installed the manufactured fiberglass porches, can't beat your skill tho .

[@slbleadworks]

Thank you. I do love the look of lead porches but I also see why sometimes it’s not practical. Mainly because of theft. Any lead work low down is always a risk.

[@jamiemclaughlin6827]

Can't beat a lead canopy 🤘👍💪

[@slbleadworks]

I definitely agree with that

[@Pj-yy2my]

hi great vid what would happen if you didnt use paper under lead thanks again

[@slbleadworks]

Thank you and thanks for watching the vid. The building paper reduces corrosive attack when laying onto plywood or oak. It also acts a vapour barrier and helps the lead move.

[@pdunleavy1982]

Can you do a roof the same as this over a bay window?

[@slbleadworks]

Yes of course. Thanks for watching.

[@marcholden860]

A what sandwich? Its always bacon and egg mate 🤣🤣 awesome work as usual tho 👌

[@slbleadworks]

No way lol. I always say the egg part first 😂

[@nonsheep5823]

I got a bacon sandwich and a shag by the customer a few years ago , great day! His name was dave hands like shovels 🤣

[@marcholden860]

🤣🤣

[@slbleadworks]

Lol😳😳😂. I wouldn’t mind a few jobs like that myself 🫢😂

[@sambick7644]

We never get sandwiches, it’s rare we get a cup of tea ffs 😂 if we’re working local enough my mrs will make us bacon n cheese turnovers and a couple flasks of tea and coffee though 😋 nice little treat for the lads 👌

[@slbleadworks]

It rarely happens to me either so I was well made up. I’m jealous off the thought of bacon and cheese turnovers though🤤🤤

[@davidmonk6139]

Great work as usual. Would you mind telling us how many mm do you turn up inside the copper strip. Cheers.

[@slbleadworks]

Thank you. I Turn it up 25mm on the inside edge of the copper strip.

[@StevenAyre1]

What's the reason for the copper drip edge? Is it just something to shape the lead / grip onto?

[@mattunderwood12]

Top job mate

[@slbleadworks]

Thank you

[@fightfanian]

Do you have to do anything special with the runoff when you have a lead roof? Is it safe to garden with, is it safe for animals, people?

[@slbleadworks]

I have never heard of any measures in place for the runoff from a lead roof. However I wouldn’t recommend any pets or people drinking this water as it could potentially be contaminated. And if this water was often drank lead poisoning could occur. This is why lead water mains are replaced.

[@fightfanian]

@@slbleadworks thank you for the response.

[@taffytop]

Thats a back home by 2 o'clock job ✅

[@slbleadworks]

I love days like that

[@babbapappa1]

Lovely customer 🤔 or the mother in law😂👍

[@slbleadworks]

Definitely a lovely customer and I had plenty of cups of tea too

[@neilrafferty2097]

Lovely work but will need permanent security to make sure it doesnt walk.

[@slbleadworks]

Thank you. It’s always a risk having lead work on show low down. But the property is overlooked so hopefully this will help.

[@stephenhuskins920]

People need to see. It being don

[@slbleadworks]

I try to show as much as I can. My later vids show much more. Thanks for watching.

[@sabrina290708]

i dont get the point of your video, it does not show you do any of the actual work, waste of 3 min of my life, show the work or give you tube up

[@slbleadworks]

Check out my other vids and you’ll see as I’ve continued on posting vids since this one I have listened to the comments and I now show as much as I can. Now it goes the other way and some people say the vids are too long. You can’t please everyone lol. But still thanks for watching .

[@sophielaurie6510]

Doesn’t actually show you how to do anything - just skips to after it has been done!

[@slbleadworks]

Sometimes I don’t have time to show as much as I’d like to. But if you watch some more of my content you’ll see that usually I show quite a lot of the process. More than most I’d say. Thanks for watching.
