Roofing bolts

Roofing bolts are used to securely fix roofing sheets to timber or steel frames across a wide range of construction projects. They’re typically fitted with a square or hexagonal head, and many come supplied with a washer and nut for a weather-resistant seal. You’ll likely use roofing bolts on pitched and flat roofs, particularly when installing corrugated metal, fibre cement, or plastic panels. In modern practice, these bolts provide a durable, removable fastening ideal for maintaining or replacing roofing sections.

A wide selection of roofing bolt types are available, including galvanised, zinc-plated, and stainless-steel options for varying levels of corrosion protection. Lengths range to suit everything from lightweight sheeting to structural-grade roofing. Compared to general-purpose bolts, roof bolts are designed for easier alignment through pre-drilled holes and offer better load distribution with large, domed heads.
