No one in the US does it like this. Instead they use 14 pieces and step over one another. It obviously works, but the issue is water, etc get into each of the steps and its 14 points to fail. The way you do it is absolutely superb, problems are eliminated! So well done!!!

Really nice to see you back at work and looking after your back by using a bench at elbow height and not bending over. Keep the videos coming. Best regards.

I just found your channel. Great content. There is a need for some good quality lead videos like this. I learned some great tips watching this one.

Great to see you back Stuart.How are you.all the best

[paulperrin]

Am I wrong but can you bend the lead 90°and have it laying on top of the tiles??, very nice clean tidy job

[Simon__Davies]

Hi Stuart. Did you set the soakers in or did the roofers when they tiled?

[MarkSmith-jtyj]

I use a old wood chisel for clips still get the odd blown brick, nice job mate😊

[officialnucky]

For someone who is just starting out doing this would you recommend doing shorter lengths each time? Like maybe 1M instead of 1.5M?

[richardjones]

Lovely job.What are those tiles called?

[nonegiven]

Always wondered how this was done, many thanks for sharing your knowledge - subbed Just one question, couldn't see any headers so assume cavity, if so what about cavity trays and weeps?

[rbbuildsandleisure]

I use a hammer thru flat headed screwdriver, as you say you will blow some brick on the tighter joints with the bolster

[jibify]

Isn't the lead supposed to have excess that hangs/sits on top of the tile to prevent leaks at the seam where the tile meets the wall?

[MONKEY-vihx]

Why 80mm waterline, is that tge brick height? Thanks

[tomalley]

Didn’t get to see how you did the overlapping.

[PeakyBlinder]

I always thought the length of code 4 shouldn't exceed 1200 mm.

[craigsimons]

Why not just fit the lead in the right place at the eaves?
Saves waste, lead is expensive after all.

[PeakyBlinder]

Cast lead is the banana lead, it's terrible.
