Are those filon fixings available as fixings or are they whole sheets?

I hate being asked to carry out roof repirs, I only do them for very good customers. Is something similar available for timber purlins?

 

[Agri Design]

@MickMoor you can use these on timber purlins too I believe. the clip will grip into the timber may need a tap with a hammer to get it fixed nicely. I found them while looking for a safer way of doing roof repairs. Too many farmers take risks on roofs (not just roofs) need to try and lead them to a safer way to do things where possible..

@SilliamWhale I am not sure, I presume you can purchase them separately from the sheet, I haven't seen anything from anyone else similar.

Hi @SilliamWhale, you can only buy these as a complete system. We have supplied the Fix safe and overclad system in the last few months.

I've just had a look, big six sheet is 100 quid. Too dear for me!

Hi @mo!, it depends on the sheet length required. The job we last supplied was a sheet length of 2.425mtr at these were priced at £78.86 + vat.

I understand it is more costly than a standard GRP sheet or steel Big six sheet but i suppose it all depends on if your comfortable being on a fragile asbestos / fibre cement roof and how you are with heights.

For pity's sake! Minimal risk, and saving the cost of at least two lightweight stagings.It is free to walk about on a fragile roof, but I won't be doing it from now on. Think of the time saved as well! Has anybody who thinks these are expensive tried fitting a roof light from above? People who fall though a roof are lucky if they walk out of hospital; I won't be taking that chance.
