About this work

Mortar along the ridge is usually the first thing on a roof to go. It cracks, lets water sit behind it and eventually the ridge tiles themselves start to move — which is when a straightforward job turns into a bigger one.

We rake out the old mortar, bed and repoint the ridge properly, and refix or replace any tiles that have lifted. Where lead is involved — around chimneys, in valleys or against abutments — we renew the flashing so the junctions are sealed.

It's detail work, and it's usually what decides whether the rest of the roof stays dry.

Common questions

How do I know if my ridge needs repointing?
Crumbling or missing mortar visible from the ground is the usual sign. We'll take a proper look before quoting.
Do you do chimney leadwork?
Yes — chimney flashings, valleys and abutment details are all part of the work.
