Tiling the extension roof with Redland 49 (Rustic Red)

[@shanicarter7637]

I remember that old video of you clearing that yard of all the overgrowth! It popped up in my feed, and that was how I found your channel. It must have been four years ago. I'm not surprised the video went viral. After all, who could resist watching until the end to see the massive change in the garden?

[@daverichardson5861]

Rotten when yer knees no longer want to work with you! I remember it well. Well on its way now Darren. Ken did a thankful task in the jungle, looking better already. Stay well.

[@WombleUK]

I can relate about knees & getting old LOL Carpenter & Joiner for 37yrs (53yo now) & left knee is knackered but it's messing me back up now & my other knee/ankle where I put more weight on my good leg. People don't realise how harsh this building game is on your body & these muppet politicians are wanting my age group to retire at 70yo because yeah you see loads of 70yr olds running around building sites & climbing up on roofs.

[@goldenineke]

I remember your more gardening/clearing yards videos Darren. The summerhouse renovations etc. You’ve come a long way since then.

[@mikey4814]

Hi Darren, Mikey here, looking really good, big transformation since you guys started Quality as always Best wishes Mikey

[@ada-zionezukanma8275]

Well-done Darren Good job as ALWAYS.

[@Shaggy-8392]

Bro, i have no idea where you get all that energy from!

[@brianedwards7958]

Keep up the great work 🇬🇩

[@tessa7582]

Looks really good 👍🏾

[@Wgnwtb]

Thank you🙏

[@mississippi4589]

👍🏽👍🏽 Great job 👍🏽👍🏽

[@kevinmccormack5192]

I hope you didn’t leave Ken in that jungle 😂!great work as we all have come to expect from you and the lads👍

[@larryholland1466]

Nice job man

[@DIYLONDON]

Nice one again D,

[@y.lelivelt2619]

Ken did a very good job in the garden. Especially because he did use a hedge trimmer. Did you know you can buy work trousers with special knee pads made of foam for this kind of jobs?

[@darrenthebuilder]

yes i have some but they are so uncomfortable lol

[@some-idea]

Great to see the tiles go on. The bottom row looks to angle down more. Does something go under these?

[@darrenthebuilder]

Yes they will sit on the facia board which will lift them up a bit. I wasn’t able to collect the facia today which I would of put in first but I can fit it later/tomorrow if I can get it

[@francisforshaw1659]

When you mention clearing a jungle, I was wondering how the land you cleared out in Dominica is now. Surely that must be overgrown again by now.

[@t3ck3r]

I've been wondering the same thing.

[@darrenthebuilder]

Im sure it is lol

[@sahiluddin9717]

Shouldnt you double batten at the bottom of the 1st course of roof tiles for the bottom of the roof tiles to rest on it cause it makes the 1st course of tiles dip at the bottom

[@aliatas6647]

Great video. Do you guys overhang the membrane a bit into the gutter?

[@joet6619]

Amazing work again Darren as per usual, whats the reason for the first row of tiles being at a different pitch?

[@darrenthebuilder]

The first row will be lifted today, once the fascia boards go in

[@escapetoruralwales]

Great work again lads. Can I ask what the materials cost for this size extension? Rough ball park figure please 🙏

[@darrenthebuilder]

Estimate around 20k

[@johnjohnson7653]

Wish I had your talent I was a idiot with my life

[@johnw4016]

Do you nail every tile?

[@darrenthebuilder]

No need especially at that pitch. We did every other row which is even excessive in my opinion

[@norwood8888]

Why no nails in the first row of tiles? I know you will be fitting a facia board but you will not be able to reach the nail holes?

[@darrenthebuilder]

The entire first row is nail. you may notice in part of the video Tristan nailing the first row. We nailed pretty much every other row as we went.

[@norwood8888]

@@darrenthebuilder You were videoed putting the first two rows of tiles on at the same time, the first row was not nailed!

[@darrenthebuilder]

@norwood8888 no need to should mate lol and you can ignore what I just said if you like but you miss saw what you think you saw. At 7:48 you can see the first row already laid and Tristan nailing the final few. The first row was all nailed 👍🏾

[@norwood8888]

You are right Darren, sorry, it was the second row you didn’t nail… certainly not when you were putting the second and third rows on at the same time, about 9.14.

[@samgraham4168]

Any updates on the cowboy build Darren? And I know what you mean about knees and back. Mine are ruined from years in the garage trade. Every birthday I say this year is my last but it never seems to be...

[@darrenthebuilder]

Not much update, im wating on some doors and need to book BC in

[@stephencave187]

I hope Kenneth got back to civilisation ok 😂 Do you not stagger the joints on each course of tiles? (Lorry driver asking 😊)

[@darrenthebuilder]

We tiles are all laid straight, Thats how interlocking tiles are laid, They have little "gutters" under each interlocking join

[@user-mf1cv1so1y]

Hey Darren, what's the minimum pitch requirement's for using concrete tiles?

[@darrenthebuilder]

It depends on the individulal tile but these are 17.5 min pitch with 100mm head lap. The rough version are min 22.5 deg

[@TomChapman-wv9iq]

Does Kenneth want to be an intrepid explorer?lol

[@jluther8893]

Could I ask how much would it cost for an extension like this?...

[@darrenthebuilder]

Approx 40k

[@rooftop8339]

That roof pitch looks less than 17.5 degrees, redland 49 can’t go on lower pitch than that. You’re going to have fun with installing the fascia board as you will need to push up the bottom of the first row of tiles to become even with the rest of tiles. Have you thought of ventilation, I see the insulation between rafters ??

[@darrenthebuilder]

Watch previous videos and you’ll get confirmation on you’re queries. Fascia boards will be a breeze for us, we have had much harder things to deal with lol. There is ventilation. Everything goes through building control.

[@ade7163]

Did you jump off that roof? 😁

[@paulripley4095]

No dissrepect but no kick on eve coarse

[@darrenthebuilder]

Will get a kick up the rear end tomorrow 😏

[@markw7997]

Wheres the rasta guy gone mate

[@darrenthebuilder]

He left ages ago

[@njh8277]

Darren wear knee pads

[@adegale3459]

The bottom row looks awful..

[@darrenthebuilder]

It’s not finished. Will be fine once raised by fascia boards

[@adegale3459]

You shouldn't have to raise it up I've never seen a roof being held up by the fascia boards it would cause a cold spot under the roof surely.

[@darrenthebuilder]

@@adegale3459 cold spot? This is the outside of the building. Maybe this image will help. See the fascia detail here www.directplastics.com/upvc-fascia-boards/white-fascia-boards/white-square-fascias/GSF200W
