Repairing lead step flashing

We appreciate your support via patreon www.patreon.com/BuildRepairandRestore Today I’m on the roof again. This time to repair some lead step flashing and some roof membrane. I remove the old pointing and refit with lead sealant which is more flexible and weatherproof. Please like and subscribe for more diy videos. If you need any roofing done you can reach me on 07580512409 Thanks for watching

Wow 😳. Working on that roof with a slope like that is way more intense than that flat roof you worked on previously. I found myself holding my breath through most of this video. Obviously you can handle heights better than me 😂. Great work!

Another great video. No job ever seems to phase you - and I agree that the view from the ladder was scary. Looking forward to the next installment thanks for sharing.

💓You need a proper roof ladder that goes over the ridge better safe than sorry💓That was some good looking moss on that roof💓

Love your videos!

Plastic tray support needed to support felt and membrane to prevent sagging and ponding and spillage to one side . Safety first you need both hands free to do the work so scaffold or roof ladders essential.

That step flashings been fitted by a wally. Not got a deep enough lip into the mortar joints. Id rip that all off and re lead it properly

[@paulajenkins6058]

It's a talent to understand water path. Did you ask if they needed the roof de-mossed? Is this repair due to the flashing needed to be reapplied?

[@darrenthebuilder]

Hi Paula, no I didn’t. It’s not something I do or that I think it’s common to do. But I think some people do it

Class. You saved the homeowner a ton of money with a bit of experienced knowhow.

Please could you share a link to the membrane?

[@darrenthebuilder]

Hi What did you for filling or sticking the flashing

[@darrenthebuilder]

Lead sealant

[@zarakltd8800]

Thanks so much so I’m going to clean as you did and then apply sealant to. You are great thanks again

[@1987pagey]

Sorry chief but that mastic job is not the best, needs a re roof

[@darrenthebuilder]

I’ve never claimed to be the best of anything

I'm a roofer of over 22 yrs thats good enuf believe me, yes we would love to strip off roof refelt battern and get new 49's on new lead flashing, but the real world we put our customers requirements and budgets 1st, if using our skills we can save money for the customer a true tradesman does big up bro keep doing what others hanvt got the skills and balls todo 👍

Sorry chief but you do not know what you are talking about.. The home owner probably asked him to fix the leak.. Not do do a re roof job.. That will cost allot of money... And if it can be fixed the cheap way and holds for several years for a fraction of price useally people are happy
