BEWARE ROGUE TRADERS

We have been made aware that people are trading with the Klober name saying that they are Klober factory approved installers, this is incorrect as we do not endorse any fitters. Should you come across one of these rogue traders please obtain company name, vehicle registration number and contact details. We will investigate all complaints.

When using traders within your home ensure that the contractors that you use have a trading address and VAT number, if you have any concerns about any traders contact your local Citizens Advice Bureau.

    Installation

    To allow ventillation, underlay is left 30mm short of apex on each side. Before top tiling battens are fixed, a ridge tree batten is secured in position by a Ridge Batten Strap nailed to each rafter. If the Klober Uni-Dry Verge system is being used, the ridge batten must overhang the gable wall by 35mm to allow the Ridge End Cap to be fixed. If using a Block End Ridge, no overhang is required. Roof tiles are
    laid in the normal manner. The Ridge Combs are placed over the ridge tree batten and nailed along the entire length of the ridge. Ridge tiles are positioned, connected by Ridge to Ridge Seals, then secured by hammering the special drive screw through the metal clamping plate and the Ridge to Ridge Seal into the ridge tree
    batten. Ridge ends are finished with either a Uni-Dry Verge system, mortar or a block end ridge tile. Full fixing instructions are included in the Uni-Dry Ventilating Ridge pack.
