I didn't know Mr. A is back! Good! Missed Him! Yes, it's always big trouble when you don't have the roof finished on a structure... Wow! Great job. Love your video's! Thank You!
Wouldn’t it be better to start at the back and work toward the front so you have space and yeah PPE for sure, inhaling that fibreglass and touch the resins cannot be doing you good in the short or long term
Invest in gloves. It’s awful stuff to get off as I’m sure you now know. Just a little tip. Don’t cut the fibreglass so long. Only needs to cover the flat section of the trim. Will make for a cleaner finish. Enjoyed watching
Wait a pain when the client supplies materials. There is only one winner in this situation and unfortunately it’s no u my friend. Great work as always 👊
Might help if you put some support under the joints with added joists. Why on earth didn't you line the sheets joints over the joists? Someone will go though it one day not knowing you left weak joints.
This product is designed to work like this. It is tongue and groove and designed so it doesn’t have to line up with joists within a certain span. No one is going through that roof unless they weight 2 ton in which case I’ll wonder how they got up there first lol
Enjoying your videos mate, do a lot of flat roofing, never done the fibreglass, have you tried the EPDM rubber, would be faster for you, all the best mate, ps, don't work every weekend, we have to recover for following week 😀
Thanks mate yes we did one recently. On the current garden house we’re doing. I do like the speed of it and it’s less messy but in the end the customer decides which one they would like
good effort guys, but i would have done a lot of things differently. Been doing grp for over 20 years now. Would never recommend it as a first choice membrane.
Yes fam, brill video. Great view could see everything. U made it look really easy. U mentioned selco in the video, can I buy the whole kit, assorted trims etc from there. Also please can u tell me what the resin kit and paint is called. Your help is much appreciated, to a novice beginner. Keep the video coming.👍
Does the roof stay transparent/wood or did you mean it gets painted ? Frustrating for you both not to have the materials. Good job , diligent and properly done as always
@@darrenthebuilder How long will it last with a gel coat? In USA here---my dad would use tar or either this silver looking paint stuff. (I know, old school, but the porch didn't leak) Is the gel coat similar? Great job! Thanks for showing what you did. I'm going to build a shed with a flat roof and needed some reference points for the process.
Good job. Please wear masks when handling fibre glass cloth and also gloves when applying the epoxy. Maybe you did but didn't look like it. It's your health and years to come you don't want poor health because you should have taken better safety precautions to protect yourselves.
I've never seen a a fiberglass roof. Does anything go over the top of the fiberglass or is that all there is to it? Just subscribed by the way. Love the video. ✌️
Hi, Can i ask about fascia board what size should we fix like you said the rafters are 150mm and the flat roof have firrings which one side is higher so if i fit 150mm fascia board then there will be a gap on the highness bit side , this will be for an epdm rubber roof and the trim is about 75mm , i am bit confuse how to fill the gap if the trim size are smaller please any help from you would be great , Thank you
Hi these boards are designed as to not need to have the ends supported by the rafters. All 4 edges are tongue and groove. The only pieces that needed to be supported in that way was the last piece which was a piece of square edged board so we had to make that end on a rafter.
@ 4:17 what are those white strips you are fixing to the left and right edges as I am wanting to build a new flat sloping roof over an existing concrete flat roof. Would be appreciated thanks
Hi Joe, we wasn’t provided any but tbh you don’t have to use it in my experience I just like to for extra caution on the joints. But I made sure I ran the matting high up the sides. If you do it right it will be fine
@@darrenthebuilder thanks, just belt and braces then. Yeah this job job looked like a bit headache to me, things never run as smooth when the clients get involved with materials etc. You definitely give them a couple of goods days worth of work there.
Hi the boards that we used are designed to be used that way. The tongue of groove design allows you no join the boards between rafters. they are alot more expensive but save time and wastage installing
Rubber is a lot easier to install and less messy. Fibreglass is good to shapes as it’s easy to mould into any shape. Both are really good and should last 25 years plus if installed properly. To be honest there isn’t much difference in how they look. They do look very similar
dont listen to the so many years gurantee crap, all the materials to construct a roof are individually guaranteed and they will do a fantastic job aslong as they are installed together correctly, just choose the style you want
@@darrenthebuilder grp can be difficult to get right (temperature, ratios, sanding etc) where as rubber can be the opposite, i like rubber better for that reason but felt is extremley good and when done properly has stood to test of time and is sometimes suited better to the property look rather than shiny new modern, stick out like a saw thumb roof covering, 9/10 times it would rubber for me as it tends to blend in better with its surrouding being black & satin in nature. good vids by the way.
@@brianhewitt8618 we do a lot of grip roofs but tbh time will tell with the longevity of it. We normally do two coats of 450 mating but with the heat/cold weather not to sure regarding expansion/contraction over time.
This is not the correct way to install a flat roof. Firstly when laying OSB you finish the end of a sheet on a joist not between them like shown on video. Secondly the back flashing should be raggled into wall to make it water tight what will need to happen now is a lead raggle flashing installed above what you have got there why have a system that is not fit for purpose when you need to use lead. Also flashing on wall is not high enough you are supposed to be be a minimum of 150 mm above deck level. Next you have installed new roof and fascias without putting a rhone on front elevation where does the water go that falls on roof? Most importantly where is your roof edge protection HSE would have a field day with you. I could go on and pick holes in this all day long but I'll leave it there.
Well tbh you don’t know as much as you think because everything you “picked” on is ether addressed in the two videos or the answer is obvious to someone does roofs.
Really 26 years I've been installing single ply flat roofing systems I've forgotten more about flat roofing than you will ever know. You never answered me to where was your roof edge protection or where does the water go cause no rhone was fitted which should have been installed before you put your front drip on.
@iainwest3850 once people like you arrive boasting about how long you’ve been doing something then it’s going to be a convo that’s not worth my time because you’re just an arrogant person who things they already know everything. So I don’t care to answer your questions which aren’t real honest questions. So continue believing what you want. As I said you didn’t watch the video properly because I answered certain questions in it. Also if you are so experienced then you should know that this tongue and groove system does not need to have its ends on joists.
As George below, bad job not supporting the joints in the boards. Plus the fibreglass should be double on the joints. The bricks added in look awful! Really there is no excuse not to match them in properly. Far better would have been to put a pitched roof on, you could have raised the inside while leaving the outside at the original level. Would have looked much nicer and saved bricking.
How can it be a bad job if that’s what the boards are designed for by the manufacturer? You don’t need to support these on joists only the ends. I didn’t pick the bricks and they are actually the match provided by a brick store. Just remember they are brand new so will initially stand out. Cheers.
But it is no more difficult to put the join over a joist to make it better. Fibreglass job is really bad. Should do all joints, the ends and a decent overlap in each run. There is a gap left top right corner too. Bricks will never match in! Also the whole roof is now being supported by the one remaining old joist over the door frame! One noggin will no stop it twisting.
@@asroofingservices "you can't make the fit over a joist" of course you can! 1.00 in he lines up the first board with the outside edge, instead line the other end up with the next joist along and then trim the outside edge. Repeat for each row. You only lose at most 350mm in each row. t&g is made to go across a joist but not to be unsupported when going the other way. "they interlock each other" Now go to 3.00 he cuts the t&g off the last whole row and puts a bit of the old board back in to fill. So there is a narrow bit of board with no jointing to the one next to it. OK if noggins added under it but no sign of any. Bodge job!
You obviously don’t know what you are talking about neither Do You understand the know or understand the product being used so there is no use arguing with you.
Great work fellas staying late to finish the job 👏👏👌
I didn't know Mr. A is back! Good! Missed Him! Yes, it's always big trouble when you don't have the roof finished on a structure... Wow! Great job. Love your video's! Thank You!
Always like to see all joints supported even with tg4. Fibreglass all joints and trim edging prior to main chop strand Matt. PPE!!!!
Quality work lads!!! Love how you just do things they way it needs to be done. No fancy stuff no gimmicks just straight up work 👌🏻👌🏻
Quedó excelente el trabajo del garage 💯💯 saludos cordiales desde Chile 🇨🇱
You and your team are nice and pleasant people. God bless all the work you guys do. It's lovely to see good honest workmanship 👍🙏
Thank you very much!
And I pray it's comments like this that keep you going on those tough days when the customers getting Aggy 🤣
Almost at 10k. Great to see the channel growing 👍🏻
You are very dependable. Enjoyed the vid.
Thankyou
never i repeat never let the customer supply materials but at least you got it watertight good video again
good to see Mr A on the job with you.
great job, thank you for sharing
Keepin it real Darren lad 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Ive learnt so much from watching your vids.
Wouldn’t it be better to start at the back and work toward the front so you have space and yeah PPE for sure, inhaling that fibreglass and touch the resins cannot be doing you good in the short or long term

Great job guys👍
Nice work !
You are great
Keep up the vids
Thanks, will do!
Get your consolidating roller on a pole mate, it's much easier and less stress on the old back.
I usually do. I was just using what the guy had supplied. We were helping him out
Love the content mate, keep it up
Keep up the great vids mate 👍
Nice job! Just wondering, what's the small handled roller you're using over the fibre glass?
Cheers!
Very therapeutic to watch lol great work. How did you learn all your trade skills, as you know so many different ones?
Thankyou
I taught myself over the years
Top video guys 👍
Wait a pain when the client supplies materials. There is only one winner in this situation and unfortunately it’s no u my friend. Great work as always 👊
Great video guys
First time seeing this being done. I find it hard to believe just one layup(waxed gelcoat?) has no pinholes.

Does the roof stay transparent/wood or did you mean it gets painted ?
Frustrating for you both not to have the materials. Good job , diligent and properly done as always
Thank you
Yes it gets painted with a “gel coat”. It will be grey which is the standard colour but you can get it in various colours

He needs to get that lead flashing on sharpish, BEFORE IT RAINS!
Yeah he’s got a guy coming tomorrow whos also gonna paint it for him 👍🏾
Fantastic video 👍🏽. Will the water pool or is it slopped with drainage hole?
Thanks
Yes the roof is sloped and will drain off the front into a gutter (which needs to be installed)
Good job. Please wear masks when handling fibre glass cloth and also gloves when applying the epoxy. Maybe you did but didn't look like it. It's your health and years to come you don't want poor health because you should have taken better safety precautions to protect yourselves.

Why do your ends of plywood sheets not have to be supported by a rafter?

That is fibreglass raised edge trims
great work, i wont to do my own garage, iam up north so i wont be treading on your work, can i aske where i can get the full kit from.
I usually purchase from Selco. Do you have that store up north?
Hey guys great video. Tell me what is that piece of wood you put in the front side of the garage for?
It’s a batten which allows the roof to overhang enough for the gutter to be fitted correctly
Where so you get your fiberglass kits from?
Does it just stay like that?
Does the back wall not need a simulated flashing trim?
Yes the client installed flashing after
Where do you guys operate?
Hi Darren, is there a reason why you didn't need bandage the trims like you did on the extension roof you did recently?
Thanks
Hi Joe, we wasn’t provided any but tbh you don’t have to use it in my experience I just like to for extra caution on the joints. But I made sure I ran the matting high up the sides. If you do it right it will be fine

You didnt cut the flat wood so the pannels meet on a joist ?

Hi mate,what trade are u actually qualified in? U seem to do them all 😊
Hi Paul, I don’t call myself a tradesman in anything lol I’m basically self taught and enjoy doing all types of building trades
@@darrenthebuilder best way
You’re great - a natural engineer/builder
Impressive!
What’s the resin name/code that you are using ?
Nice job, where do you buy your resin and fiver grass?
Thanks
I usually get mine at Selco. It’s called Cure it. I don’t know where the customer got this one from
@@darrenthebuilder thanks mate I’ll check it out
Where does the water go.. I didn't see a drain.
We only helped with the roof. They fitted the guttering after they painted the roof
What are the pros and cons between the fibreglass or rubber membrane roofing option? Both are not used here at all.
Rubber is a lot easier to install and less messy. Fibreglass is good to shapes as it’s easy to mould into any shape. Both are really good and should last 25 years plus if installed properly. To be honest there isn’t much difference in how they look. They do look very similar
Birds love to peck Rubber roofs
dont you mix the paint into the fiberglass ?
The topcoat paint is a separate layer. You mix it with the hardener just like the resin and then paint on top
Here before this is on everyone’s recommended! :P
(1.5k views as of comment)
Thanks 😊
whats the best material for a flat roof? fibreglasser sheeting or felt? which lasts longer and which is cheaper?
dont listen to the so many years gurantee crap, all the materials to construct a roof are individually guaranteed and they will do a fantastic job aslong as they are installed together correctly, just choose the style you want
Hi Matthew, my preference has been fibreglass. I personally don’t like felt but I’m starting to like rubber roofs alot
