The hip tile deployment tool 1 has two elongate parallel rails 3, 4 that are connected together at a predetermined distance. There may be more than one connection between the rails, and the connections may be adjusted and secured by a clamp 11 to set the space between the rails, the distance corresponding to the width of a hip or ridge tile 2. The connection comprises a bracket 5, 6 attached to each rail, wherein the brackets may be secured together. A shoulder or ledge 14, 15 may project from the rails into the space between them, such that it forms a platform for receiving an edge of a hip tile. Each rail may also include a rubber layer for increasing friction between the tool and a roof. The end of the tool may include a mating element for interconnecting with additional tools. A kit of parts is also claimed. |
