Step Chimney Flashing 1

[justlead1]

Thanks for that, its good for the sole. The purpose of the film is to share bits and pieces with other interested people and promote the sale of the various flashing we make and sell online. Our company is Just Lead. From what i can see, no body seems to be offering similar in the USA. I consider it to be an opportunity for someone over there. Good Luck

This is great to see. It is far superior to the methods we use in the states. Everything is about speed here. I wish i was able to do this sort of work. We use the lead as soakers (as you call them) and step flashing all in one piece. We step the lead up and flash under the shingles with the same piece of lead, so for each step a different piece of lead is used. The next piece is then flashed over the preceding one. It is water tight, but the quality of work is not the same as your method.

i am a painter .I admire the work that goes into these flashings .I have studied hundreds of these .Why are the cuts on the step flashing at 45 degres.Most are at 90 degres .Here in newzealand the wind would drive water into the 45 corner

bullshit

[ogdoad4]

brilliant, I'm studying plumbing right now and part of my course consists of sheet lead weathering and chimney flashing, this vid helps alot, thanks!

[c6gav]

classic builder,s and roofer,s fucking scum people..!! all looking to give this man a hard time for passing on building info.! maybe if you didn,t rip people off so much they would give you the work and not do it themself,s..!!

[justlead1]

Hi. Give it a try with a length of paper. say 170 mm /200 mm wide, 65 mm water line

The steps will be long, and the angle between courses can be formed to create the aesthetics you like. Defiantly paper first.

[DIYinSTL]

I really like the video, it is an inspiration to Do It Myself but in copper. Your marking method does not seem to work on a low pitch roof. Mine is a hip roof (over the front porch), with a less than 3:12 pitch, against a brick facade. Your marking method gives very acute angles; any suggestions? I plan to just make a template with a good looking angle and mark to the edge of my copper from the "water line".

They use lead,on the east coast,and where highj salt content is a issue,I am a sheet metal mechanic,old school roofer/tinner,I flash chimney"s,solder,with pig iron,50/50,solder,1lb bar,I fab all meatl,saddle,counters,apron,fr­on/rear counter,Never,seen it done like this,but everyone,is a rioofer/tinner,yikes!

[justlead1]

@sssam80 Thanks for your comments its nice to here from an expert. Perhaps i can look forward to you posting a video of you work?

[d3eadinside]

@sssam80 lol dude ur face looks like an ass haa

[c6gav]

Can I ask you how do slate a roof using double slates on every other run. when u use the standed way. u start with 250m then your 350m half so u get the over lap on each slate. and so on up the roof. but dose it work with the doubles

[redevilknight]

I thought lead flashings are not often used due to health issues, and that aluminum or zinc is a better alternative.

[c6gav]

dose anyone know how the under flashing works which runs up the side of the chimney and under the slates..?? water can run under the step flashing and drip in to the roof..! dose the flat stop it if it was being used..??

[justlead1]

@c6gav

Hi With both slates and tiles (not intelocking) soakers are used. These can be made from sheet lead, copper or zinc. The piece will be 180 mm wide and bent with 100 mm for between slates / tiles and 80 mm up the brick, stone or block work, this upstand is covered by the flashing .

[c6gav]

@justlead1 can you up load a vid showing how it works..?? I think your work is great..! if sumone who dosen,t know what they are doing like myself. if they get it wrong the roof can leak.! under the slate!its like half the video is missing going from the front apron and then to finshing the step flashing! thanks

[TheDaldi8800]

look this vid : "THE REAL ROOFER "

click on the first vid

thats quality

[cymy2]

You can get lead in sheets of varying lengths at Home Depot in the roofing section. Probably any other home improvement or hardware store, as well.

[cdmharley]

Thanks pete very helpful!!!

[tippa2kk]

cheerz m8 ur a diomond!

[jcrmarine]

i jst did a flashing job on a 100 yr old church and we used copper bit pricy but turned out nice, only problem is it will tarnish over the yrs. but it is easy to wrk with

[lifestooshort81]

where can you get sheet lead in the US? I bet its banned or something because of the EPA... I bet that lead flashing will last a half century if not more! Aluminum isn't bad but the ease and maleability of lead is just by far superior!

[justlead1]

Hi. There was a lead association in Madison Ave NY. You may be able to check it out on the internet? Good Luck

[whitehat55]

@justlead1 Any roofing supply house. Home Depot also has rolls of lead.

[cymy2]

@lifestooshort81 You can get lead sheeting at Home Depot (I just bought some 10 minutes ago) or probably at any other home improvement warehouse store or small hardware store.

[josifulis]

why use lead wouldnt zink or steel flashing do the same thing?

[copperworks]

@josifulis Zinc is no good in mortar because of calcium and steel rusts

[thevidmachine]

Superb videos!! Can't believe I found this as I'm about to undertake this job myself. Just wondered if you could clarify one thing and that is: what material do you have coming out from under the tiles and up the side of the chimney at the start of this video? It wasn't there at the end of the last video. Many, many thanks and keep up the good work!!

[vagz90]

thank it was great video for my college work

[iamabrownhead]

nice one mate!! i am doing lead at college, found it quite hard! my teacher is a wa*ker and is fu**ing useless. this video helps alot some video s on lead welding would be nice!! cant do an overlaping weild very well. thanks!!

[gregorysingleton]

measure up onthe sides, snap a line and grind it out and then measure your metal to fit and done. easy as pie takes 5 minutes and one trip to the ground

[justlead1]

Hi Thanks for your comments. I used that method on the other side of the hock chimney but have not posted the video.

[1tonan]

nice vid , im a young lead worker and i aint done step flashings like that before , will try that method out next time tho , we normally do each step seperately if you know what i mean?

[texetera]

I can tell you have done that before.....I very rarely come across a plumber who can do step-flashing.....that's why I usually end up doing it myself.....I find it useful to fit 2 diamond -discs in the cutter to get the groove wide enough with one cut...I also think it looks better if the last step finishes on the same course as the front apron.I like your bending method with the groove in the lath,I will be using that next time.....Good educational video for you plumbers out there.

[justlead1]

Hi. Jim see ware you are coming from. The reason how ever is with only 3.5 inches you are restricted in achieving the diagonal over lap. When turning at the front there would be insufficient height.

Thanks for your comments

[jimabbie]

What a waste of 12" lead those steps are to big you would use 6" and the water line would be 2 and a half inch up with the rest being 3and a half inch dont get me wrong it looks neat but if you was flashing 6 chimneys in a row you are wasting lead and that means wasting money !

[kempouk]

you got the vid of when you welded up that stack tray, nice work by the way.

[bearwoodcarpentry]

very good clear instruction no bull thankyou for that. any info on creating a box by bossing or is welding the way to go ?

are you from islington?

[justlead1]

Yes I am. Well Holloway, Nr Nags Head.

Thanks for you comments. Practicing with filming gear at moment. I will be starting on a lead welding video in the New year.

Good Luck
