whetstone

7d. Fine material I needed in on top of house: I'm unlikely to go up (9)

FIREPROOF

I get the ROOF, but what about the rest? Is FREP a material?

Rep is a material, cloth - though I've only ever seen it used in crosswords! So F, fine I, in clue. Rep, material, Roof, top of house. F i rep roof.

Ok chrisE, understood. Didn't realise the Times used F for 'fine'. I'd heard of REP before. Ta.

Thanks, ChrisE.

Whetstone, the F for fine (on lead pencils) is listed in Chambers, so is perfectly ... fine!
