Tile Fixing
Sandtoft roof tiles/slates must be laid and fixed to comply with BS 5534: the
British Standard Code of practice for slating and tiling, and BS 8000: Part 6:
the British Standard Code of practice for workmanship on building sites.
To ensure compliance with these Standards we strongly recommend that either the
recommendations given in the Sandtoft
Zonal Method User’s Guide and Zonal tables must be followed where available or a calculated fixing specification
must be obtained using Sandtoft’s Fixing SPEC service.
For further information go to
Fixing SPEC or contact Sandtoft Technical Support on 0870 145 2021
