Roof Bolts

Roof bolts are heavy duty structural fixings used in applications where strength, load distribution and long-term reliability are essential. They are commonly specified in roofing systems, structural frameworks and construction assemblies where components must be securely fixed and able to withstand movement, weight and environmental stress.


At Duchy Fasteners, a practical range of roof bolts and associated structural fixings is held in stock to support construction, industrial and maintenance projects across Cornwall and the wider UK. Customers can purchase directly from the trade counter or order online for fast courier delivery.

What Is a Roof Bolt?

A roof bolt is a structural fastener designed to secure roofing components or structural elements to a supporting framework. Roof bolts are typically used in situations where loads must be transferred safely through the fixing into the structure beneath.


They are often paired with washers and nuts to spread load evenly and improve holding strength. Depending on the application, roof bolts may be used in timber, steel or mixed-material assemblies.


Correct specification of roof bolts is essential to ensure safety and long-term performance.

Typical Uses for Roof Bolts

Roof bolts are commonly used in roofing installations where components must be securely fixed to resist wind load, movement and weight.


Typical applications include industrial and agricultural buildings, steel framed structures, timber roof assemblies, canopies and covered walkways. They are also used in maintenance and repair work where existing roofing fixings require replacement or reinforcement.


Their strength and reliability make roof bolts suitable for both new installations and refurbishment projects.

Strength and Load Performance

Roof bolts are designed to provide strong clamping force and dependable load transfer. When installed correctly with appropriate washers and nuts, they help distribute load evenly across roofing materials and structural members.


Selecting the correct bolt diameter, length and grade is essential to ensure performance under load and resistance to loosening caused by vibration or weather exposure.


Roof bolts should always be specified in line with structural requirements and installation conditions.

Materials and Corrosion Considerations

Roof bolts are often exposed to weather and environmental conditions. Duchy Fasteners supplies roof bolts suitable for both internal and external use, allowing customers to specify fixings based on exposure and durability requirements.
