Stone Slate Roof

[dansk]

Anyone got any experiance with stone slate roof, im curious to know how you hold the slate back up once removed to install a hook - lead tingles are not strong enough - what do most do about fixing the slate back?

:cowboy:Glue YEEEEEEHAAAAAAA

Sorry mate couldn't resist

 

[Cider]

You could do copper tingles

Ok - im sure i will be able to get something to do the job - just hoping someone on here has actually done a stone slate/flag roof. Im sure some types stone roofs the slates/flags "hook" over the baton.

I'm sure you can get a stainless clip similar to these Slate Roofing | Repair clip - Jenny Twin Roof Repair Clip Tilestop

I used the jenny clip, but its not good enough for what i need.

That's why I said there's something similar in stainless steel. Sadly I can't think of them at the moment.

Have you considered, dare i say it, hanger bolts on the stone flags? Their thickness and strength may be better suited to that method... Just a thought...

any of these of any use?
Roofing - Slate Hooks - 304 (Inland) - Building Materials Online Store from Source4me
(no connection to company selling them)

if its a concrete tile then you simply slide the tile up find your rafter feeling the felt . you use a stainless steel hanger that screws into rafter and the tile slides back down over it.

what did i say to you today? last 9 panels going on! couldnt resist another 16 to do :death:

you can get the hangers to be adjustable ive fitted the non adjustable ones before . you can adjust to thickness of tile and also adjust to level panels off. im not sure what you call them cos i dont order i just fit.

I know - dont fancy hanger bolts, i prefer to use hooks and flashing, i cant see this being a hard job. Always the same when your not 100% sure about something, but after the first few hooks the rest will fly on.

 

[tm.electrics]

i youl be grand you know yourself once you get started its easy enough , some boys wouldnt touch it if they werent sure about it but to me if theres obstacles in front of you and you want the work youve just gotta find a way round them. if your beat before you start you may aswel stay in bed. cheers

No better way to learn than the deep end - i love it.

This jobs going alright, the roof turned out to be fake stone, there massive concrete slates, held on with a single nail in the middle at the top. Once we got the first two rafters done we was onto it. The method we are doing is 2 rows of 8 in landscape, on the rafter we bolt to we are stripping the slates from the top to expose all the rafter then re-building from the bottom up with the hooks, flashing and slate. Only done 20 hooks and already used 12m code 3 @300mm wide. just going to buy another 2 rolls, this has cost approx £240 in total plus vat on its own, so in the future when the prices are leaner its something im not going to forget.

Will post pictures when its done.
