Size name:Pack of 100 Available as single or multiple quantities. Hiqh Quality Copper, ideal for a quick and easy installation to repair broken or slipping slates. A good quality slate roof can be expected to last longer than most other roofing options, typically they will last over a century if there is no physical damage. However time and weather do not always leave slates intact and can often lead to slates becoming damaged or loosen. Damage to slates can happen due to the roof settling, frost, storms or just things falling on to them from nearby trees. Loose slates are more often the result of poorly fitted nails, or poor quality fixings that rust away. Cheaper slates can also disintegrate around the nail holes. Fitting Instructions Avoid lifting surrounding slates by using a slate ripper, which can be slid between the slates to cut or remove fixing nails. It may be necessary to slightly tilt and lever up slates around the damaged area. Use the Copper Tingle to hold the replacement slate in place, ensure the hole is towards the top and fix to batten with a short non corrosive nail. Carefully raise the slates in the row above and push the new slate up under and align the lower edge with the slates to the left and right. Having pushed the slate into position bend the bottom of the tingle around the the lower edge of the slate. The tingle should now hold the slate in place and stop any slipping.

Easy fix for an awkward problem
Never realised that replacing a slate could be so troublesome as you can’t just pop a nail in to secure the new tile. The other tiles are in the way.I had never heard of a tingle but these enable you to simply fix the tingle to the roof batten, slide the new slate into place and bend the tingle up over the edge of the slate to keep it in place. I also put a blob of silicon adhesive on the underneath slate for a secure fix. Easy Peasy

Check the length you need first
I should have purchased longer strips. A plus is that as the copper ages the oxide washes down and is toxic to moss hence I prefer this to lead.

Measure your requirements to make sure.
Good quality product - looks like good copper. I wish they were longer but can be adapted for more old fashioned, larger/longer slates.

Superb quality, low prices & a prompt delivery time ahead of scheduled. Simply fantastic!
Great product, excellent quality, very low price and prompt delivery which was actually 2 days earlier than scedualed!The only (very, very minor) gripe I have is that the received tingles were shorter than described, but only by 1-2mm.Otherwise I'm extremely happy all round with my purchase, what I received, and everything that goes with it.

Gave the tiles a decent look.
Simple, but effective. I would certainly buy again. The finished job looked good with the copper strips.

Too short and unnecessarily expensive
These are too short and way too expensive for what are. However, you are unlikely to need many at any one time.
