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

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.
