Is Your Reigate Roof Showing Signs of Wear? Understanding Ridge Tile Re-bedding

When you call Kevington Roofing and Building LTD for ridge tile re-bedding, you’re engaging 25 years of roofing expertise. Our process for this essential job is thorough and effective. We carefully remove any loose or failing mortar, clean the underside of the ridge tiles, and prepare the roof timbers. We then re-bed each ridge tile using a high-quality, durable sand and cement mortar mix, specifically formulated for external use. We apply this mortar skillfully to ensure a robust and weather-tight seal, making sure each tile is perfectly aligned and secure. This meticulous attention to detail ensures your roof is properly protected for years to come.

Neglecting loose or crumbling ridge tiles can lead to a cascade of problems for your entire roof system. When ridge tiles are compromised, rainwater can easily penetrate the roof space, leading to damp, rot in your timber joists and rafters, and even damage to your insulation and ceilings. High winds can exploit these weaknesses, potentially lifting more tiles or even sections of your roof, turning a minor repair into a major emergency. By addressing ridge re-bedding promptly, you safeguard your home against these issues, protecting its structural integrity and saving you money on future, more extensive roof repairs.

Dry ridge systems offer a mortar-free solution for securing ridge tiles. This system uses mechanical fixings and a continuous ventilating strip, eliminating the need for mortar altogether. It’s a durable, low-maintenance option that provides excellent ventilation for your roof space. Depending on your roof's condition and your long-term goals, we can discuss whether traditional re-bedding or an upgrade to a dry ridge system is the best fix for your home. We're here to help you make an informed decision.
