Ridge Tile Repointing

Ridge tiles sit at the highest point of your roof, exposed to the worst weather. The mortar holding them in place degrades over time — cracking, crumbling, and eventually falling away. Once the mortar fails, water pours directly into your roof space.

We strip the old mortar completely, clean the ridge tiles, and re-bed them with appropriate mortar or a dry ridge system. Dry ridge systems use mechanical fixings instead of mortar, eliminating the problem of mortar degradation entirely.

Loose ridge tiles are also a safety hazard. A ridge tile blown off in a storm can cause serious injury or damage. If your ridge mortar is cracked or crumbling, it's time to act before the next storm.

What's a dry ridge system?

A mechanical fixing system that replaces mortar. Ridge tiles clip onto a rail, eliminating mortar degradation. It's more durable and doesn't need re-pointing every 15-20 years.

How do I know if my ridge tiles need repointing?

Look for cracked or missing mortar along the ridge line. If you see gaps, or mortar debris in gutters or on the ground, it's time to repoint.

How long does ridge repointing last?

Traditional mortar repointing lasts 15-20 years. Dry ridge systems last the lifetime of the roof — typically 30+ years.
