Ridge Tile Repairs in Stockport

Weathered mortar does not automatically mean a ridge tile is loose. Actual movement is the point that changes the repair.

Roofing detail relevant to ridge tile repairs in stockport

Mortar-bedded ridges need a solid base

Loose bedding should be removed before rebedding. Smearing new mortar over cracked material rarely lasts.

Dry ridge relies on mechanical fixings

Clips, screws and unions need to be secure. Covering a failed dry-ridge fitting with mortar defeats the system.

Check the run while access is available

If one ridge piece has moved, the adjoining sections should be checked before the scaffold or roof ladder comes down.

Need the roof inspected?

Describe where the problem is showing indoors, when it happens and any roof work already carried out nearby.
