Up on the roof
A new tile and slate clamp that gives installers a fast fix solution to fixing cameras or security lights on the roof comes from Gangway Ltd. Taking only three minutes to fit without the need for drilling, power supply cables can be fed from the loft underneath the roof-tiles. The clamp uses three slide-in cleats that provide the key to speedy and easy fixing. Each cleat has a patented safety device that ensures it remains firmly fixed to the roof and away from areas where they are likely to be tampered with. The kit comes ready for the security market together with fixing mast and simple instructions. They are bagged in boxes of 10.
