- In this episode I'll go through every stage of setting out a lean to roof including how to find the plumb cut and birds mouth, fixing methods for wall plates and double rafters and setting out for roof windows
Finally a video that doesn't rabbit on and just shows you simply
Carpenter of 40yrs, That folks is called experience and it cant be bought, job well done sir.
Hi thank you for the comment I appreciate a man of your experience saying that Thanks for watching. 👍🏻
You've just taken me back to 1985 joinery apprenticeship with that birdsmouth cut tip - spot on
I'm a retired joiner ..9yrs now..(wow!)....and it's been a pleasure watching you mate....a true tradesman....knowing exactly what to do...and making it look so easy...(I don't miss those cold Jan/Feb days at all)...absolutely loved your video...👍🏻
Top tradesman with top quality work and straight talking no fuss tutorial, love your content and many will learn from this.
What an absolute pleasure to watch a true tradesman doing his work. The planning ahead and attention to detail to ensure that it works out perfectly is very impressive.
Cheers David and thanks for watching. 👍🏻
So refreshing to see some tradesmen that care about what they do. Very informative video. Thank you guys.
Great work and attention to detail - that’s been the story so far. Glad I’ve been able to share this - thanks 👍🏻
Thank you for the comment Moaze glad you enjoyed this episode and thanks for watching 👍🏻
Used this way today to set out my rafters. Thanks for sharing this it really helped, 30 years as a joiner everyday we learn
That’s good to hear Dave glad it worked for you. 👍🏻
We’ll explained, step by step , plus little tricks , really love this channel !!
Wicked video mate straight to the point very well explained, thankyou 👍🏼👌💯
many thanks for doing this - so good to watch your skills ( and hopefully remember enough to learn some of them ! ) i randomly got this suggested in my feed and shall now go back to the beginning and watch your whole set of videos. so much better than the rubbish you get on the tv!
Did an extension roof almost identical to this at the end of last summer, working for a mate who is a 35 year seasoned chippy (I'm a 15 year skilled labourer/handyman), and I wish I had seen this video beforehand!
Your attention to detail and care over the design/layout elements is phenomenal, really impressive, and a level of experience & knowledge "input" (and clear years of loving your craft) that I wish my mate still had!
Great video...I'm now "Subscribed"!!! 👍🏼💪🏼👊🏼😁
Cheers for the comment David and thank you for subscribing. We hope you now go through our other videos and enjoy those as well. Thanks for watching👍🏻
Pleasure to watch as always 👍🏼 looking forward to the next one already 🙌🏽
Cheers Tom glad you enjoyed it thanks for watching
Brilliant. New to the channel and really enjoying the videos. Clear to see in a couple of minutes the craftsmanship, experience and knowledge. 👍
Watched alot of rafter and birdsmouth videos and this is by far the best. Well explained and so simple 👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks Robert very kind of you to say so 👍🏻
That technique is gold, thanks. Theres nothing out there that explains how to find the angle of a lean too rafter especially in a way that is understandable. Gold !
Thank you for the comment Mike and I’m really glad you got something from our video. Just had a comment just saying ‘more working less talking’ so this is a nice follow up. Thanks for watching. 👍🏻
@@mrabuilders6723 Yh its a nonsense comment, this is a great video ill be watching your content from now on because of it
Can use trig to find out most things
Another great video as always ! Love the detail and explanation of your process, amazing skill.
Thank you Luke and thanks for watching. 👍🏻
Pleasure watching you work,
Really been enjoying this build, looking forward to next 👍
Thanks for the comment 👍🏻
Nice to watch a proper tradesmen who takes pride on his work
Going to subscribe to the channel after watching this vid
That was a truly cracking description of how to cut the wid correctly. This is the 2nd time I've watched this vlog.
Thanks, buddy, accurate and simply to do. This is what I was looking for.
Thank you, this is very helpful for those who cant afford to hire somebody.
Craftsman at work. Great video with detail. Catching up on all the other great content you have uploaded. Thank you.
Cheers Pete appreciate the comment. Loads more to come. Thanks for watching.
Brilliant stuff !! Absolute gold dust ! Thank you 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Always thoroughly enjoy your videos .
Thanks for the comment Snapper 👍🏻
I think these builders who make vids of their work put the others to shame. Your skill, technique, quality control, site safety and cleanliness is there for all to see. Not just the end result but the hidden stuff that is so hard to see unless you are on top of every stage. One single mistake and all those that don't have the confidence to broadcast will pile in! The fact that you do this means you'll always be up at the top of the trade and customers can engage you with confidence. Thank God for CZcams!
Not quite sure what to reply to that comment other than thank you very much. We as a team really enjoy what we do and get a lot out of making videos for CZcams especially when we receive comments like yours. We appreciate your time for commenting and thank you for watching. 👍🏻
I've been watching many projects on the CZcams. This has to be the best channel out there. It is so delightful to watch a knowledgeable nice lad with eye to detail explaining every step. Even the weather has to surrender to him. Nice job mate!
Hi T. That’s very kind of you to say we really appreciate that. We all really enjoy making these videos. Thanks for the support and watching our channel enjoy your weekend 👍🏻

Cheers David very kind of you to say so. Thanks for watching
Great work looking forward to the next video. Cheers 🍻
Thanks for watching Brian glad you enjoyed it and the next episode is already edited ready to go for next Sunday 👍🏻
Lean to, roof Mr A ! it’s leaning towards not leaning as well !
That’s enough of that.
I am pleased to see that there is enough space beneath the sills to install your top flashing, I’ve come across several sets of drawings which ignore this, I think with the intention of getting a specific head height and tiling fall.
Glad you approve, that’s the way it has got to be doesn’t it or it’s not right. Thanks for watching
Lovely job Rich 👌🏼👍🏼
Cheers Logan appreciate that thanks for watching 👍🏻

Cheers Moaze I hope it’s worth the wait for you. It’ll be on at 1630hrs 👍🏻
I love that roofing square
Top of rafters should also be birdsmouthed to stop horizontal stresses
Really good simple way ! thank you for the knowledge p.s its called a ledger board 😉
Wow mint good video and good training thanks
Nice job 👍
Great advice
Good work🙂
Just discovered you, very good video
You make it look simple
Hi Andrew thanks for the comment. I’ve been doing it a long time so if I can’t do something like this now it’s time to give it up 😂👍🏻 thanks for watching
Hello mate the upper timber on the existing is the ledger, and the lower one near the eaves of the new build which has been bedded is the wall plate
Brilliant 💪🏻
what a great video💯💥👍
awesome tips :)
Thankyou for sharing
Our pleasure Ollie plenty more to come. Thanks for watching 👍🏻
Here in Canada we call your bolted wall plate a ledger board 👏
Hi Jim and thank you for the comment. I’ve heard that a few times on Canadian and American CZcams channels I subscribe to. Thanks for watching
Great job
Very nice. 👌
Trying to get all the joints bang on is so dependent on so many variables ie the sole plate being dead level the outside wall being real parallel with the existing wall the nominal timber sizes being all the same size and square generally nowadays from my experience u can’t have all of them things falling in to place ( especially the timber sizes) so it’s always a compromise on a drawing it works perfectly but in reality it rarely does so u compensate as all chippies do on site and make it work but for me u still can’t beat traditional roof construction so great tutorial
What a nice chap! It'd be good to work with a tradesman like that.
Great video, over here most people machinery bolt down their wallplate, I noticed that in the UK you prefer to bed them down.
Hi Dan. We do add the wall plate straps as well as required by building regs but the bedding on is mainly to get it bang on level and flat. If we bolted down into those light weight thermolite blocks they’d shatter. Thanks for the comment. 👍🏻
CLASS MATE!!
Great detailed explanation.
I have 2 questions.
1. How do you add stepped dpc or cavity tray over the catnic openings for the weep vents?
2. Where the rafter bevel rests on the ledger board/bolted wall plate, in what instance would this become another birds mouth cut resting on top of the bolted plate?
Thank you so much
Interesting stuff, thanks for sharing. The owners must be really attached to that house given what looks like a sizeable extension on the top already!
Hi ya mate. This extension is a follow on to the loft conversion we did and is also covered on our channel. Thanks for watching. 👍🏻
@mrabuilders6723 I realised after I replied it was a multi part series 🤦♂️ cracking work I'll take a look. Just hoping you're Wolves fans now!
It’s probably best we don’t discuss football on the channel 😁⚽️👍🏻
Alot of people would of just chucked it on keep it up
Good video Do you just use nails to attached the rafter to the wall plate? What type of nails?
Very good video 👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 What's the slope on that roof? Thanks 👍🏽
What about cavity flashings?
Tidy work👌
Cheers 👍🏻
Hi, Its a nice video detailing the rafters size measurement and headplate.
Please advise the size of screw/bolts used for the headplate. It is very important and starting step to fix the headplate securely.
Thanks
This method of setting out was used by an old carpenter who done nothing but 1st fix roofing kind of fool proof. He used to do a similar way for the hips but he nailed a scrap piece to wall plate be interesting to see how you set out hips.
Great video pal. What make is the tool belt please??
Hi keep it up you are doing a great job and having fun making some brilliant videos superstar Ali Walsall west midlands england junction 10 m6 Walsall keep it up you
Thanks bubs
Be interested to learn how you do your lead work. We have a first floor timber balcony against pebbledash with French doors underneath which leak when it rains.
It would been interesting to see how the wall plates are secured to the wall,they must take a fair load with a tiled roof.keep up the good work.
Hi Keith. I show that in the next episode very briefly at the start. It’s hard sometimes to show everything without the videos becoming to long and boring for everyone. Thanks for watching.
Are they having bi fold doors?
Yes mate they are 3m 👍🏻
@@mrabuilders6723 does that mean that you use cavity closures? Will you be fitting the doors? If so can you recommend what make you use.
Thanks.
We have already fitted the cavity closures in readiness but we use a company to come in and fit the doors so we get the warranty and the fensa certificate. I wouldn’t know the make sorry but if you follow our channel I’ll be sure to mention it in the bi fold door and window install video for you 👍🏻
First of all thank you for passing on knowledge to us young lads, im a carpentry apprentice myself and love watching these.
Probably a long shot but im doing my apprenticeship at a local hospital and really struggling to get any roofing evidence that i need to qualify, would you ever entertain having a labourer/ chippys mate with you on one of your projects?
Hi Lennon I’m really pleased to see that young lads are still taking up the trades and not aiming for the next Mr Beast. Unfortunately our roofs come as part of the extensions/lofts we do so I wouldn’t be able to pin point when the next one is as yet. I’d be more than happy to help you out otherwise. All the best with your apprenticeship mate and thanks for watching. 👍🏻
@@mrabuilders6723 Cheers for getting back to me.
No thats fine mate, in all honesty i knew it was a long shot but i thought it was worth a go. Due to the nature of my job its hard to get evidence for things like fitting a staircase, doing cut roofs etc.
What I suggest Lennon is keep and eye on our content so you know when we are doing a job you need evidence for in the future and give us another poke and we can see if we can get you some evidence mate no probs. Cheers Lennon
@@mrabuilders6723 Brilliant mate cheers
Send us a list a list of things that you need evidence for to our email that's in our bio please mate, I'll take a look and when we've got a job that's on that list I'll get in touch and you can join us for the day. How's that mate?
