Hytile Bucket Boot

The Hytile Bucket Boot is a heavy-duty rubber sleeve that fits over a flexible pointing bucket, the type roof tilers use for pointing and bedding mix on the roof. The boot protects the bucket from wear and splitting, gives it a stable grip on the roof surface, and stops the bucket from scratching tiles and finished work. It is a simple accessory that makes pointing work cleaner and extends the life of the bucket.

How To Use It

Fit the boot over the bottom of the flexible pointing bucket before you take the mix onto the roof. The boot holds the bucket steady and keeps the rubber between the bucket and the tiles, so the bucket does not mark the roof as you move it around. Wash the boot out at the end of the job and it is ready for the next one.

Applications

• Pointing and bedding work on tiled roofs
• Protecting flexible pointing buckets from wear
• Keeping buckets stable on pitched roof surfaces
• Preventing marks on tiles and finished work

What You Need To Complete The Job

Pair the bucket boot with the pointing kit. Use it on a mud bucket or a flexible pointing bucket carrying Trade Mortar, and apply the mix with an OX PRO gauging trowel. Browse the Roof Fixing Supplies range for more.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a bucket boot?

A bucket boot is a rubber sleeve that fits over the base of a flexible pointing bucket. It protects the bucket from wear and splitting, keeps it stable on the roof, and stops the bucket damaging tiles or finished surfaces.

Will it fit my pointing bucket?

The boot is designed to fit standard flexible pointing buckets used by roof tilers. If you are matching a specific bucket, check the base size before ordering so the boot fits snugly.

Does it stop the bucket slipping on the roof?

Yes. The rubber boot gives the bucket a firm, stable grip on the roof surface, which keeps the mix within reach and reduces the chance of the bucket sliding as you work.

Is it easy to clean?

Yes. The boot washes out easily after use and can be reused on many jobs. That makes it a long-lasting, practical addition to the pointing kit.
