Questions

Ridge Tile Repairs and Pointing FAQs

Short answers for common ridge tile repairs and pointing enquiries in Morecambe, Lancaster and Preston.

Ridge tiles can loosen because of weathering mortar, movement, frost damage, poor previous repairs or wind exposure.

No. Pointing repairs the visible mortar finish, while rebedding involves lifting and resetting the ridge tile where the bedding has failed.

Dry ridge can be a good option where repeated mortar failure is a problem, but suitability depends on the existing roof and ridge condition.
