Safe access ... granted.

Keep your clients for life.  Show them how planning ahead will reduce future repair costs significantly.

Whether it's a slate roof, asphalt shingle or a metal roof, oftentimes the most expensive part of repair work is actually gaining access to the repair area.  Then, once access is granted, creating a safe work environment by installing fall protection anchors is the next logical and time consuming task.  Slator, LLC's custom roof hatches solves both of these problems at the same time.  Our access points are designed specifically for your particular roof access area and repair needs.  Installation of our strategic hatches may save your client thousands in lift or scaffolding rentals on each future repair. 

Imagine how happy they will be when a $500 repair is not a $5,000 bill because this time . . . safe access was simple.

The access hatch (in the video above) will be used by the client to get onto his roof and clean his gutters.  We installed it (from the safety of the attic) prior to beginning his roof replacement.  This is a 2 - 3 story Victorian home on a steep lot ... shaded by large oak trees.  We installed 5 strategically located permanent anchors so that each spot on the roof can be reached safely while maintaining a tight rope and keeping his anchor point above him.  Rope skills and good gear are definitely required to do this work safely.

We installed the access hatch (shown below) from the safety of the attic on this 3 story school building.  This eliminates the need for a lift or scaffolding to access this area safely.  Once installed, we used it to make slate repairs.

New custom stainless steel hatch with (16) OSHA compliant anchor points.

We did this work prior to the roofers removing the old finish and applying a new membrane (suspended off the new anchor points).
