Hall Hook slate repair fixings are the market leading remedial repair hook, designed over a 20 year period by an experienced slating contractor who always wanted to have the perfect solution to an everyday roofing problem. Having used the Hallhook on numerous occasions, I can honestly say this product is one of, if not, the best method of secretly fixing slates. Genius Roof Solutions provide a wide range of solutions and innovations that have transformed and improved the way that roofers can fit slate and tile roofs, including our Hallclip® and patented Hallhook®, developed by inventor Jimmy Hall. Others take too much time, are awkward to prepare, and if wrongly prepared the head of the slate could slip off the upper batten. Fixing with a slate hook involves trimming the head of the slate, thereby losing some head lap (a building inspector may not accept this).
