Just started watching your channel & it’s very good! 1. You are not shouting 2. You are not fat, you are a normal build for a bloke 3. It’s nice to see someone who knows exactly what he’s doing! A lot of people don’t realise that proper tradesmen work at quite a rate!!! Good work

[@thegardenroomguru]

Thanks mate

[@danielsbox27]

Brill work. I'm relatively new to the roofing business. I can appreciate your expertise. I am glad to see I'm doing just like you. Cheers

[@LizaMiah]

Very nice tutorial, shows how quality workmanship goes into theses buildings. Thanks for the content.

[@fish4london75]

As a diy'er really enjoying these informative videos. I may not be a builder buts its all helping me think about the steps in my build so greatly appreciated. All the internet haters can hate, they will never get their soft skinned office hands dirty anyways.

[@TheNickHorton]

The hammer trick for spacing....brilliant 👍🏻

[@thegardenroomguru]

Until one of the guys puts all the poly tops in the same box no matter the size🤦🏻‍♂️and there all up and down 🤬

[@allthingsgardenbuildings]

Great video bud. Explained well, proper grafter

[@davidrowlands2172]

Good job ; no messing, just a good, clean and well thought out job

[@PompeyMatt17]

I fitted an EPDM system to my garage roof 12 years ago. Best thing I ever did, brilliant stuff.

[@gordonmcclung]

Proper craftsmanship your a credit to your trade. Well done...

[@darenpickford328]

Great information just putting the roof on my 7 x 4 meter Garden room, Couldn't have done it without you. Thanks so much.

You make it look so easy William , Great video , thank you .

[@thegardenroomguru]

Thanks mate

[@venchipux4726]

One of the very best videos explaining the process step by step!

[@bernardrowe4592]

I like the length of this video, really nice how you went into a lot more detail on the roof!

[@TheRobeyRober]

Growing to love your videos, thanks so much! I’m putting my epdm roof on next weekend and this is the best video I can find on KZbin for installation 👍

[@DerekTJ]

Great work - I learnt a lot! Brilliant to see a young girl getting stuck in to the manual work too - hope she finds more sensible things than tattoos to spend her earnings on. Youth!

[@raymondbryan5209]

Thank you so much for all the information within your vids mate. Attention to detail and professionalism is second to none. Huge thank you

[@MilosStevanovic1]

Love it man. You can tell this guy knows what he is talking about.

[@MarkJones-kq1oo]

Good genuine straight talking workman good teacher😊

[@stevewalters700]

I work in management for a big builders merchants beginning with T and I've gotta say I would happily have this quality of work in my own home. I understand editing can make anyone look great but, this guy uses the best gear and has clearly used it for years. I love the pre drill pre hammer method

[@thegardenroomguru]

If your up the chain at Travis it might be worth emailing me as I’ve a proposal you might want to look at 👍🏼 [e-mail]

[@gap9992]

Another great Video for us DIYers! I am just about to build my wife a posh shed and will use EPDM so this is very useful to see the upvc details. In fact I used a Butly Rubber pond liner on a shed I built 15 years ago and it is still going strong, Didn't even glue that one down! I have worked out the main difference between William and myself. He spends 5% of the time thinking and 95% working - I am the opposite ! lol

[@markyoung7931]

Been catching up with this clip again, now we have some better weather gonna start my roof this weekend. Thanks for great instructional viewing.

[@gripper58]

Great job one little suggestion try a decorating pole when applying glue so much easier both physically and more importantly on the old back

[@Surv1ve_Thrive]

Good point

[@kit131179]

Great job, just the right amount of detail also ! Thanks and all the best to you all.

[@arybaz6329]

Thats what you call a proper job. Well done

[@bscott77]

Couldn’t have timed this better mate, put my facias on tonight and Epdm going on tomorrow. It’s only a big shed and not a garden room but pretty much built the same method and spec less the insulation and plasterboard. Thanks for another brilliant tutorial

[@thegardenroomguru]

Good luck, get it on before the storms that are forecast

[@samplum4150]

I love everything about your work ethic and attitude when working. It's easy to see you're a good worker. Only thing i want to add is the contract adhesive is highly recommended by the EPDM companies and there must be good reason for it. As someone else said it's likely to reduce stress and lifting. Otherwise brill job. Would be great to have an update video on this roof to see how it held up. That would shut myself and the neysayers up quick

[@thegardenroomguru]

😂there’s 40k people on my face book group, I’m estimating that at least 3k have followed my build packs and not used contact adhesive. Never an issue, fair enough if you’ve got upstands or adjoining a house wall. But it’s a flat roof with mechanical fixings to all edges, never had a problem 👌

[@hughmcclafferty684]

Hi Liam just did my rubber roof on gym for my daughter , watched your videos me joiner also but have picked up few good ideas from yourself 👍 one thing might help with 2 nd part gutter trim is to cut bit approx 12 long and use it to push up rubber first the capping piece is much easier to chap on once the return rubber is up under trim cheers shug

[@01fudge]

Great job buddy the guy in the roofing merchant didn’t have a clue how the edpm drip trim was fitted, thanks for the tutorial on that

[@faroqhussain3361]

Very nice mate keep up with your video’s we are always learning thanks 😊

[@MrQuasar1958]

Cracking job Bill, very informative,entertaining and professional. Can’t wait till the next one 👍🏻

[@wwss3330]

Really appreciate you going in depth in detail! It's my ambition to do what you do!

Great Video William , You make it look so easy Thank You.

[@stephenfuller1066]

Well done Liam another top demo and patient with Amy for air bubbles 👍🏻

[@ETH85]

The reason for contact adhesive round the edge is because that's the most stressful area of the roof and even thought trim nails it in place you still end up with bubbles around the edges after 12 month or so.. seen it plenty of times

[@earlslick1]

This is a great one Liam-such professionalism and clear instructions. Thanks mate, really appreciate your detail In the vids and really helpful. At every stage of my build I'm clicking onto your tutorials👍🏼💪

[@jbmaintenanceservices2699]

Evening William....love watching these vids...the best bits are when you get well into it and miss words and letters out 🤣🤣😁 only messing....keep up the good work 👌👌👌

[@thegardenroomguru]

Mate, my mind turns to crap! I noticed I call the boards os3, I’ve forgotten the b, but I hear myself pause, then steam on 🤣

[@toomanycastles4923]

Will be following this when I do my roof in a couple of weeks. Thanks for making it.

[@Helmutsmit]

Nice one fella, you made that look easy, it’s only easy, if you’ve got the know how. 👏👏

[@chardonian1]

Amazing amount of info mate. You make it look so easy

[@brod5079]

Good cardio there and the girl’s getting stuck in! Nearly brushed through the roof!

[@casiodan]

Good timing. My roof is due to be delivered next week. I always understood the contact adhesive to be more about taking the pull when the epdm shrinks rather than holding it down.

[@thegardenroomguru]

Suppose that theory would be ok if temp at time off fitting was consistent, but it’s designed to be fit all year , and if the middle shrinks how would that effect the outside100mm , who knows, but never had a problem after using for years, I’ll go on the course one day 💪

[@casiodan]

william griffin yeah it wasn’t a criticism or anything. It’s probably my misunderstanding of it. In fact I spoke to a manufacturer today who has distributors in leeds, I was passed his details by a roof slate company we do some work for, and he said to do it like you did in this video.

[@thegardenroomguru]

Danny Whittingham don’t take me wrong mate, wasn’t being funny or anything, just after doing them we’ve decided this works, besides, try using the contact adhesive on a windy day 🤣🤣

[@phillip23451]

Always find a useful tip after watching your videos... 👍

[@Ben-yw2vh]

perfect timing for me mate! fitting my first rubber roof and all the trimmings next week. Thanks for these vids, priceless 😁👍🏻

[@Ben-yw2vh]

@@AH-yg4qp it went very well, its a really easy system. the two things to watch out for are to ensure the joints of your roof boards are perfectly sealed, sanded and flush. I have one joint that wasnt T&G and you can tell as it has a very slight ripple along it. the other thing is make sure you dont cut the overhang too short as it needs more than you think to wrap up under the gutter trim. Mine was about 5mm too short in several places and the rubber kept popping out. If that happens I recommend cutting some small sections off the trim to use as shims. worked a treat for me. Good luck! 😎👍

[@jerrywarren6959]

Other than that I observe that you’ve carried out a good meaningful job. Well done fellas nice to see some care and pride in a trades work. Unfortunately it’s very very rare during these times

[@neilmcintyre4376]

Brilliant videos and well explained. Great workmanship too 👍

[@rebeljustice.3876]

A new Estwing.... Nice work.. .

[@bmwx5msport735]

Your timings perfect mate, just about to fit my roof. 👍🏼

[@yanistsiopani2120]

Just like that!! Haha another cracking job. Thank you for sharing.

[@diddsdaddiddsdad6865]

Hi, I’ve been pulling my hair out trying to figure out the gutter edge. Even the manufacturer video doesn’t explain like you. Thanks. I feel confident now.

[@TheRealAnthony_real]

I like how you drill and nail the stop ends of the sliding fascia trim which need to expand in the hear ..

[@DB1956]

If you don't have biceps like William or hands like mallets you might struggle with the two part gutter trim - I did. I got it in by pushing up from below and using a rubber mallet. Thanks William, great vid as usual.

[@thegardenroomguru]

pmsl, it can be a real arse to get in can't it, ive fit loads now and in the colder months, im bloody cursing it I can tell you

[@chazIII7III]

I really like your roof, man. 😎👍

[@tonybutler9523]

Great job by a top tradesman

[@stephencrockett3803]

Great and enjoyable video, new to this channel liam Informative

[@ff2346cookson]

Excellent video......very informative. Neat job.👏👏👏

[@markkelly8461]

Cracking video and detail. Cheers. 👍🏼👍🏼

[@bawleee]

Thanks a lot. Building myself a workshop to similar specs and these videos are helping a-plenty. Rather than “painting myself into a corner” I used a roller extension pole. Felt this was safer as l less likely to fall backwards off the edge.

[@paulripleytrhimm.2033]

Easy to follow instructions, will be having a go next week

[@tombowcutt4908]

Doing this job tomorrow. thanks for sharing with all the detail!!

[@yessman78]

Great video. Impressive job. Well done.

[@andymac77vlogs34]

Evening Mr. Griffin. Another quality job and quality video. Following you on Instagram now too! All being well, my garden room will be about 7m by 4m. Only French doors though! Bi-folds very nice indeed but very expensive. Gonna start on it soon. Can’t wait.

[@thegardenroomguru]

You’ll regret not using bifolds, honestly, if you can, stretch your budget somehow, there not much more than f/doors, thanks for your support mate, always good to hear from you

[@jerrywarren6959]

Is the glue water resistant? Marking the joists is good but standard for decnt for chippies. Alternatively you could actually you could leave a 50mm expansion joint at each end,run a chalk line through and that would be good . Then if the are is out of square you simply cut off at the other end again leaving a 50mm expansion space . If out of square you may find that your cutting down from as an example 65mm to 43mm keeping your expansion space. However if an expansion space s not required or recommended reduce your gap to say 2mm ,chalk line follow through and square up the other end . Glue would be recommended then you’ve got a belt and braces job taking into account any heating up and cooling down of external weather conditions/ temperatures and condensation etc which can accumulate and cause unnecessary issues between the fascia and boarding

[@robertakrigg6645]

Top job. Did my roof last week its not rocket science to put em on !!!

[@rorymorris9512]

Thank you, really useful tutorial. Please can someone tell me the best place to buy these soffit and fascia boards? And also the edge trims? Thanks

Great video and brilliant job, thanks 👍

Wish I had your energy!

[@nesgets]

Bingo mate good job Enjoy the weekend mate

[@Squadeditz]

Top job, great video to help me with mine today.

[@jonc9799]

Never seen someone install the full length soffit like that. Its usually cut and put in perpendicular to the way it was installed here.

[@matthewBurn2k9]

Yeah I agree. Much better short ways. People do it because its quick

[@karlsinclair9918]

Nice little video, thanks!

[@juniorrimoni5382]

my backs sore just from watching this

[@johnsmith-sk1ep]

Wow, exciting. I bet the rock couldn't do that. Couple times triggered my vertigo. Wish you were in vegas and could redo my roof.

[@darkan99el]

Got this to do on a garage roof that was felted when god was a lad lol, it's got two brick raised edge so they are going to be fun to do, Might make a video myself and see how we go.

[@malcolmarmitage6843]

Great tutorial. Thank you. Is the roof flat flat or is there a slight pitch on it and if so how much please ??

[@thegardenroomguru]

slight mate, 25mm per mtr

[@davelinkson1]

Had an apex roof shed with rubber roof membrane installed but the fitters never used any adhesive, when I asked why, they said they now dont glue rubber roofs as the adhesive doesn't work, but I think thats bull and believe it should be glued down, so am now querying this with the company..btw, good video thanks..

[@MrRctintin]

Great job, good and informative vid that, thanks fella

Very professional 👏.

[@adamtarpley5610]

Gd video. But why do you not use a pole with your roller. Will save back??

[@brendantully1950]

Great video. Just saw it. I haven't seen the type of kit used on this roof here in the States. Am I missing something? ty

[@greglangford2562]

Would last longer with a moisture barrier, great video

[@bradyalbers]

GREAT work and detail! Are you able to share the material manufacturer, product names and, if possible, links to where to buy? Thanks.

[@stewartadams6022]

Good Video. Just started my build.

[@NS-uq3pp]

Amazing insight and great details shared there Liam. Thanks. Where do you get the 2 part gutter trim from?

[@1Lance1984]

Gap plastics or Eurocell

[@inspectorvoid]

Bloody brilliant!

[@Scumsuckingpigmonkey]

Just finished my first epdm roof for my son's dormer today. 30 degrees and the rubber burnt your knees. Ive been in the game close to 40 years but I watched the suppliers installation video which had us folding the rubber back! if only i had seen your video first and rolled it, life would have been easier! I'm not happy with my self for not working that out but great video thanks.

[@thegardenroomguru]

Don’t it get hot 🥵 , too hot to touch

[@Scumsuckingpigmonkey]

@@thegardenroomguru until someone has done it in the heat we are having at the moment they will never understand. It nearly finished me!

[@thegardenroomguru]

I get a piece of insulation to kneel on, some one on the group, posted, they watched a wasp land on it and die as it touched it, hard to believe, but I think, we both know it could be true

[@Scumsuckingpigmonkey]

@@thegardenroomguru I was using an old bit of velvet curtain. I thought the journey up was bad enough... metal ladder and concrete roof tiles! I would believe your other poster! How the rubber does not turn to a liquid is what is hard to believe!

[@SimplyChrono]

Love it mate, can see your passionate about providing a quality job and having a good name. 2 Q’s do the sides not need guttering and also do yo7 U not create the pitch with furrings? Thanks mate

[@mushtaqmanzoor2001]

My self build is 16x16 , I'm just @ this stage now . Been to get prices & found a place which dose meter trims in black you think they will be any good .

5x2 in the roof

Thanks

[@nickhipwood3491]

Hi Liam, Great video, very well presented and thorough. Is it possible to have a list of suppliers for the rubber roof and soffits, guttering etc?

Great help, thanks for sharing. 👍

[@rosies3622]

Brilliant step by step demonstration...Hehe! So you use child labour, eh? ;)...Actually, great having Amy, and that she wants to help and learn...I helped my dad who was a builder. Come in handy as an adult; given me the confidence to do things myself...and also let builders know, I know enough not to have them do dodgy work. Maybe, your business will be 'AND daughter' one day :)

[@singtracks]

great job easy to follow,,only thing i would do differently is to use a long handle in your roller, sooooo much easier,,trust me a decorator of forty years😋

[@antonygilbey8068]

I would have used a long handle as well
