COMPLETE TILE RE-ROOF (PART 1)
In this video COMPLETE TILE RE-ROOF (PART 1), Will takes you through a step by step roof replacement, as usual he gives you roofing tips along the way. We show you how to strip an old roof by removing the old roof lath, removing old roof tiles and then show you the process of felting a roof and fixing new roof lath before laying new roof tiles.
PLEASE NOTE: we’ll endeavour to answer questions and comments as soon as possible depending on our work schedules.

How do I stop rodents getting in? I noticed rat poo in my attic. They have torn right through the membrane. Popped a couple of roof tiles just above the gutter and got a shock, the sea of it in between the tiles and the membrane was unbelievable. The ridge lines and gable ends are pointed in w cement, but how do I stop them getting in from the gutter. I think there is a big enough gap for them to just squeeze “up and under” the tiles. Mine are the flat clay tiles but they have a bit of a gap under the middle of the tile. Also I think my velux windows might have been put in incorrectly: There is flashing, but they just cut the tiles and there is no side-protection to prevent the rodents just going right on in, left and right of the window. Do you point / cement the sides of the tiles around the velux?
Pity the client never opted for a bonnet tile, would have complimented the valley and softened the hips, great video all the same.
I’m always glad when they go for a ridge on anything with more than 4 sides, less stress about getting all the rows to marry up
Good to see master craftsmen at work! How long would you expect this to last for?
Great Video Tony, its always a pleasure to watch Wills and the teams work with roofing and also helpful.
Glad you enjoyed it Glen ?
i love how those tiled valleys look, way better than lead. It’s great to see how much pride you take in your work, nice straight lines and everything done the right way
As a roofer I totally agree with you mate
looks awesome! question – what about the ventilation underneath the tiles. ? is it not needed ?
Great to see professional tradesmen taking pride in the work and going the extra mile to make sure the jobs done right. Not enough quality tradespeople around anymore . Love the channel
Great video. The time-lapse helps you see the complete transformation. Brilliant job!
Glad you enjoyed it ?
when you cut the batterns why have you not sealed them again with wood preserver .so in time water will get in to the battern ends and they will swell up causing the tiles to lift
What’s the rule on nailing, tiles which interlock, is it every other row?
Its amazing how we all do things differently. We dont use cemented hips and verge anymore up here. If dry systems are installed correctly, they’re maintenance free …
Nice to see Rik wearing safety specs and ear defenders while using the grinder. Health and safety at its finest.
You find out what tinnitus sounds like when it’s too late! And once you’ve lost an eyeball another one doesn’t grow back.
Quality trades men. Lovely to see you do a cracking job.
Thanks Mick! ?
Awsome job as usual guys, well done.
Glad you enjoyed it ?
Damn! If I had my time again, I’d be a roofer. Marvellous vid. Thank you.
All the roofers I know are really cool guys. They seem to have an, ‘easy’, attitude and are hard grafters. Its got to be something to do with being outdoors all the time and they are a fairly hardy bunch.?
Wills a legend love your videos mate always well explained real professional. Why did you paint the rafter feet black btw they on show? Would of been great to see the whole set up marking out the battens and setting up 1st rows but I know you boys are busy appreciate all you same ??
Great vid! Has given me some extra confidence to complete an upcoming task. Thankyou
Loved the dubstep – like being in Fabric, back in the 90’s!

Keep up the informative videos – greatly appreciated.
Glad you like them! ?
