hi nice work , but is that really what us genuine roofers need, somebody showing every tom dick and harry our trade, if people want to learn the art of roofing then they should learn with a quallified roofer not off a dvd!

Hi Helidan

I understand your concerns, as a trained roofer i am sure, like me you have been called out to put right work that others have failed to do correctly. Its not the kind of work i enjoy. I have now retired from lead work having had a good living from the trade and decided to create film to explain and show methods i have used. Hoping that some roofers who have not had formal training can identify with them and gain from the demos.

Thank you for your comments. Comments that are positive act as motivational fuel for the next video/demonstration. Good Luck

Hi. Thanks for your comment. You will have noticed the front apron is weathered by a chimney dpc so i had no reason to turn into a join.

Great to see a master at work - having trawled the web there is so much obviously dodgy advice it's good to see how it should be done. I don't plan to DIY but at least I know what to ask for and expect from my roofer!

It is rather beautiful to look at the smooth movements of a master craftsman at work--sort of like a bit of ballet in a way. Though I know nothing about Lead flashing, the rythm and easy sureness and economy of motion, along with the crispness of the result are quite pleasing to the eye. From this Yank: Bravo, sir.

using reclaimed or re-used slates is a bit pikey ,but method is good but make clips smaller and gives it strenth,the bigger the clip it bends easier,double it up and round off corners look better.
