Abstract
The present invention relates to a roof mounting system with a locating and waterproofing device (100) which is formed from a water impermeable medium. The device has a short edge (104) which is dimensioned to rest against and be secured to a batten (121) and a long edge (106), whose upper portion rests on an upper surface of the batten (121). A lower portion of the locating and waterproofing device rests on a lower slate or stone (10A) and is sandwiched between the lower slate or stone (10A) and an upper slate or stone (10B) so that a continuous barrier (102) is formed along the long edge (106) to provide a water resistant barrier and to create a void (116) between the lower slate or stone (10A) and the upper slate or stone (10B).

A locating and waterproofing device (100) is formed from a water impermeable medium, the device has a short edge (104) which is dimensioned to rest against, and be secured to a batten (121);
- and a long edge (106), whose upper portion rests on an upper surface of the batten (121) and whose lower portion rests on a lower slate or stone (10A) and is sandwiched between the lower slate or stone (10A) and an upper slate or stone (10B), wherein a continuous barrier (102) is formed along the long edge (106) to provide a water resistant barrier and to create a void (116) between the lower slate or stone (10A) and the upper slate or stone (10B).
A method of installing a locating and waterproofing device (100), resting a short edge (104) of the device (100) against a batten (121) and securing the device to the batten (121) using a securement means so that a long edge (106) of the device rests on an upper surface of the batten (121) and so that a lower portion of the device (100) rests on a lower slate or stone (10A);
- placing an upper slate or stone (10B) on the locating and waterproofing device (100), so that the locating and waterproofing device (100) is sandwiched between the lower slate or stone (10A) and thereby forming a continuous barrier (102) along the long edge (106) to provide a water resistant barrier;
- and creating a void (116) between the lower slate or stone (10A) and the upper slate or stone (10B).
