Loose Ridge Tiles? Expert Re-bedding in Chatham & Kent

Re-bedding isn't just about slapping on new cement. It's a skilled job that requires careful attention to detail. Our process begins with a thorough assessment of your roof's condition, including safe access to the ridge line. We then meticulously remove all the old, failing mortar and any loose debris, ensuring the area is perfectly clean and ready. We use a high-quality, weather-resistant mortar mix, precisely blended with the correct ratio of sand and cement, designed to provide a strong, flexible, and lasting bond. Each ridge tile is then carefully re-bedded, ensuring perfect alignment and a secure fit, creating a robust, watertight seal across the ridge of your roof.

It's easy to overlook your roof until a problem becomes obvious, but catching issues early can prevent extensive damage. Keep an eye out for these tell-tale signs that your ridge tiles might need re-bedding:

• Visible Cracks or Gaps: Look for cracks in the mortar or gaps between the ridge tiles themselves.
• Crumbling Mortar: If bits of sand and cement are falling onto the ground or in your gutters, it's a clear sign of degradation.
• Loose or Slipped Tiles: If any ridge tiles look out of alignment, or you can see them moving in strong winds, they need immediate attention.
• Damp Patches Inside: While not always due to ridge issues, unexplained dampness on your top-floor ceilings can point to water ingress from the roof.
