The TIMCO Slate Hooks (SSSH120) are precision-engineered fasteners designed for professional roofers and DIY enthusiasts needing a reliable method to secure slate tiles to timber battens. These point-driven hooks offer a superior, long-lasting alternative to standard copper clout nails, providing exceptional corrosion resistance and a discreet, aesthetically pleasing finish. While they are an excellent choice for repairs and new slate installations, users should note that they require specific installation techniques to ensure they are seated correctly against the batten for maximum stability.

Each box contains 500 individual pieces.
Yes, they are suitable for both new installations and professional repair work.
The coating is designed for durability and exposure to the elements, though excessive force during installation may scratch the surface.
While they can be installed with standard manual roofing tools, using a slate ripper or a proper driving tool can simplify the process.
They offer better mechanical grip in many repair scenarios and are often easier to install without damaging existing slates compared to traditional nails.
Ensure the hook is driven into a solid section of the timber batten rather than a soft spot or knot in the wood.
Check if the batten is made of an excessively hard timber; you may need to pilot the point slightly if working with hardwood.
Verify that the hook is not being over-tightened or bent at an incorrect angle during the insertion process.
To ensure the longevity of your installation, confirm that your timber battens are in good condition, as the hook relies on the density of the wood for its holding power.
Compatibility: These hooks are designed for standard slate thicknesses commonly used in residential and commercial roofing.
Care: While the hooks are corrosion-resistant, inspect your roofing installation annually to ensure that no debris has caused the hooks to shift, particularly after significant storm events.
