Has anyone got some actual photos of a thin slate roof being installed with a normal anchor and flashed over, step by step would be ideal.

Oops sorry was supposed to get some and send them on to you - those pesky customers keep getting in the way! Doing one on Thursday is that too late?

Thanks! Didn't realise that much of the roof needs to be stripped back! Did see something else I want to ask, the panels were butted up to each other, don't they need an expansion gap to all edges?

Thanks for the picture, Gordon. This is a similar method to ours. Our brackets are somewhat different to yours so we can't install the bracket under the timber like the way you do it. Looks neat and tidy, thanks for posting it.

Hilti have customers who have sent over ways of installing on slate roofs with a great finish that will not allow water ingress or damage to the tile, if you send me over your email address i will forward the photos
