OP
Fitstart
So should I be worried that a company is coming to fit panels to my roof next week and they are going to use ClickFit?

No structural survey. Again the installer said it was not required.
Starting to get worried.
I'll contact a structural surveyor tomorrow! - Install is supposed to be on Tuesday.
Every job without exception should have a structural survey - it doesn't cost much in comparison with your overall spend. Insist on it or change your installer .... very shoddy approach not to have one done - high winds ... who will you fall back on if the roof can't cope with the windload?
We've just recently done a job in eactly the same situation as you - our structural guy rejected the roof because it was showing signs of splaying. One beam installation later (about £350 and a lot of swearing) and the customer had a roof suitable for the installation of solar panels. If he's gone with the other installers he'd invited round - all nationals - not one of them did any structural calcs - could have been a solar sandwich!!
