Product Information

Full details

TIMCO Slate Hooks are essential fasteners for professional roofers and DIY enthusiasts looking for a reliable method to secure slate tiles to timber battens during roof repairs or replacements. These hooks offer a robust alternative to traditional copper clout nails by providing a stable, point-driven hold that significantly improves the integrity of slate installations. While they are highly effective for securing individual slates, users should note that they require precise placement to maintain the correct aesthetic and structural alignment across a roof surface.

FAQs

Can I use these hooks on metal battens?

No, these hooks are specifically designed for timber battens and will not provide a secure hold on metal structures.

How many hooks come in a pack?

Each pack contains 500 individual pieces.

Are these suitable for coastal areas?

Yes, their high-quality construction and corrosion resistance make them ideal for exposed or coastal roofing environments.

What is the diameter of the hooks?

These hooks feature a 2.7mm diameter.

What colour are the hooks?

They feature a black-grey finish corresponding to RAL 7021.

Do I need special tools to install them?

Standard roofing hand tools are sufficient for installation, though care should be taken to drive them accurately.

Troubleshooting

Hook is loose in the batten

Ensure you are driving the hook into sound timber; if the batten is rotten, replace the batten section before installation.

Hook is visible or distracting

Ensure the hook is positioned correctly under the slate overlap so that only the discreet grey tip remains visible.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior holding power compared to traditional nails
  • Excellent resistance to corrosion and environmental wear
  • Discreet aesthetic finish matches slate colours
  • Professional-grade quality suitable for high-exposure environments
  • Large 500-piece pack size is economical for site work

Cons

  • Requires professional tools or skill for precise installation
  • Not suitable for use with non-timber substrates
  • Single-purpose fastener limited to slate applications

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install TIMCO Slate Hooks, identify the timber batten location beneath the slate. Insert the hook so that the point secures firmly into the timber, ensuring the hook tail cradles the bottom edge of the slate. These hooks are designed specifically for timber batten compatibility. To maintain the integrity of the roof, avoid bending the hooks repeatedly, as metal fatigue can weaken the hold. Store the remaining hooks in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture exposure until your next project.
