SL8 Roofing Hip Detailing

1. Install roofing underlay and tiling battens ensuring that batten ends are supported at the hip junction (Picture 1).

2. Construct the hip rafter to a height of 50mm for flat tiles, or 75mm for profiled tiles. The hip rafter height is nominal and is measured from the underside of the tiling batten to the top of the hip rafter, based on a 25mm batten (Picture2).

3. Cut tiles into the hip rafter. Tile clips must be fitted where possible. Unsupported slips of tile should be bonded to the adjacent, twice mechanically fixed tile using a suitable bonding adhesive (Picture 3).

4. Tiles at the bottom of the hip should be cut as shown to allow the block end hip tile to sit as close to the fascia as possible (Picture 4).

5. At the bottom of the hip, lay the first carrier tray.

6. Position a block end hip tile and fix to the hip timber using 2 x 80mm drive screws with washers and grommets.
   Continue laying carrier trays and hip tiles in the same manner (Picture 5).

7. At the ridge/hip junction position a code 4 lead saddle over the last course of tiles to weather proof the ridge/hip union (Picture 6).
   Neatly mitre cut the third round hip and ridge tiles to form a neat weathertight junction. All ridge and hip tiles must be twice mechanically fixed. Re-drilling nail holes may be necessary to provide adequate fixings.
