Hi,

Can anyone advise me the make of mounting kit used here please and also who supplies this?

Thank you

Click fit???? Loads of suppliers not something we would use and questionable whether Building Regs are happy with it.

Not a system I would use, think the major supplier is cleaner air solutions

Is that a self tapping thread into aluminium there? :frown2:

No wonder I've been asked to repair the shoddy way this has been installed - the original company that installed it no longer exist surprise surprise! What is the implication of repairing the roof work to my MCS certification?

Do you know if that's how the click-fit system is supposed to be, or do you think the installers have improvised? I know what my thoughts are!

Are you aware how Click-fit systems are mounted?
Well here is my advice (for what it is worth), remove the Click-fit system and scrap it, and fit a new decent mounting frame, explain to the customer that there will be an additional cost and the reasons why and explain that you want the system to stay on the roof, not end up on the drive...
It is debatable whether Click-fit conforms to building regs anyway, but in my opinion using that system is not good practice.

Good luck.

Its all basically hanging off the roof tile batons isn't it!

Certainly not what I would consider using.

Yes, that is correct, batons that are nailed down normally with straight cut nails, every meter or so, and batons that may have some decay in also.
Would I want 300+ kilograms of a potential glass sail attached to my roof in that way? Hmmm
Of course the company probably installed the whole job in a morning so made a good profit...
