The edges of your roof deserve attention.
Ridge tiles and verge details help protect vulnerable roof edges against driving rain and wind. When ridge mortar breaks down, tiles become loose or verge details fail, the risk of water entering the roof can increase. It's worth dealing with these defects before they develop into a more expensive problem.
We carry out roofing inspections and can advise on appropriate repairs to traditional mortar-bedded ridges, dry ridge systems and verge details. Our aim is always to explain which parts need attention, rather than replacing sound work unnecessarily.
Common problems we inspect
- Loose ridge or hip tiles
- Cracked or failing ridge mortar
- Damaged or poorly fitted dry ridge components
- Open, exposed or loose verge tiles
- Wind and weather-related roof edge defects
Repair or dry ridge system?
The right solution depends on the roof, its age and the condition of the existing ridge. Sometimes a localised repair is appropriate; at other times a complete ridge upgrade may be worth discussing. We'll talk you through the options and the associated costs.
