Frequently Asked Questions About Ridge Tiles
What are ridge tiles?
Ridge tiles are specially shaped tiles fitted along the highest point of a pitched roof where two roof slopes meet. They help protect this important junction from the weather while providing a neat, finished appearance.
How do I know if my ridge tiles need repairing?
Signs of problems can include cracked or missing ridge tiles, loose tiles, deteriorating mortar, visible gaps or pieces of mortar falling from the roof. If ridge tiles appear to have moved or become damaged, it is best to have them inspected.
Can loose ridge tiles be repaired?
Yes. Loose ridge tiles can often be re-secured without replacing the entire roof. The appropriate repair will depend on the condition of the tiles, mortar, fixings and surrounding roof covering.
What does re-bedding ridge tiles mean?
Re-bedding involves removing loose or deteriorated mortar, preparing the ridge and securing the ridge tiles again using suitable new mortar. Depending on the roof and existing system, additional mechanical fixings may also be used.
Can individual ridge tiles be replaced?
Yes. If only one or a small number of ridge tiles are cracked or damaged, they can often be replaced individually while leaving the surrounding roof intact.
What is a dry ridge system?
A dry ridge system secures ridge tiles using mechanical fixings rather than relying solely on mortar. It provides a secure, weather-resistant finish and can reduce some of the maintenance associated with traditional mortar-bedded ridge tiles.
Can damaged ridge tiles cause roof leaks?
Damaged, loose or missing ridge tiles can leave the ridge area more exposed to wind-driven rain. However, roof leaks can have several possible causes, so an inspection is recommended to identify exactly where water is entering.
How long do ridge tiles last?
The lifespan of ridge tiles depends on the tile material, installation method, exposure to weather and the condition of the surrounding roof. Regular inspections can help identify loose tiles or deteriorating mortar before more extensive repairs are required.
How much does ridge tile repair cost?
The cost depends on the number of ridge tiles requiring attention, whether they need repairing, replacing or re-bedding, roof access and any scaffolding requirements. A property survey allows us to assess the work and provide an accurate quotation.
