TIMCO Slate Hooks are an ideal choice for professional roofers and DIY renovators seeking a secure, long-lasting method for attaching slate tiles to timber battens during repairs or replacement projects. Engineered for durability, these hooks provide a superior alternative to traditional copper clout nails, though they require specific attention to ensure proper alignment and tension during installation to prevent slate movement.

Yes, they are manufactured from A4 (316) stainless steel, which provides excellent resistance to corrosion in salt-air environments.
No, these are designed specifically for use with timber battens.
The hooks feature a 2.7mm diameter.
Each box contains 500 individual slate hooks.
They feature a black grey finish (RAL 7021).
They provide a more secure, modern alternative that is easier for performing individual slate replacements without damaging surrounding tiles.
Ensure you are not driving the hook into a dense knot in the timber; slightly reposition the hook to a clearer section of the batten.
Verify that the hook is fully seated into the batten and that the slate is correctly nested in the hook curve.
To install, ensure your timber battens are of the appropriate moisture content and thickness to accept the 2.7mm diameter hook. Avoid forcing the hook into knots or hard sections of wood to prevent bending. For optimal performance, always use in a configuration where the hook holds the tail of the slate firmly against the layer below. While the A4 stainless steel is highly resistant to weather, keep the product in its original packaging until use to avoid unnecessary scratches to the RAL 7021 finish. No specific chemical maintenance is required once installed; regular visual roof inspections are recommended to ensure no hooks have shifted due to extreme wind events.
