A sealing and connecting device for overlapping roof sheeting in which the sealing and connecting functions are physically separated, but still co-located so that neither are compromised. A series of guides attaches to the lower sheet from below and a resilient first seal is provided against the top end profile of the lower sheet. A series of clips attaches to the upper sheet from below, with a second seal acting on the upper sheet from below and third seal engaging with the rib of the upper sheet. Alternatively, for sheeting with straight sided ribs, a screw secures the top sheet to a slidable portion of the device. As the connecting elements are separated from the seal they can be made of metal and shaped optimally to provide maximum connecting strength. The separate seals are made of differing materials allowing the performance of each to be optimised.
A sealing device for providing a seal between the top end profile of a lower profiled roof sheet and the underside of an overlapping upper profiled roof sheet, each profiled roof sheet comprising a series of ribs laterally spaced from each other by pans, the sealing device comprising an elongate body supporting a resilient sealing member, wherein the resilient sealing member is held against the top end profile of the lower profiled roof sheet.
