Ridge Tile Repointing

Over time, mortar used to fix ridge tiles can deteriorate, crack, or crumble due to weather exposure. This can lead to loose or missing tiles, water ingress, and even structural issues if left unattended.

Our ridge tile repointing service restores the stability of your roof by carefully removing damaged mortar and reapplying fresh, high-quality pointing materials. This not only secures the tiles but also enhances the roof’s overall durability.

Ridge tiles are the specially designed tiles that cover and protect the highest point of your roof where two slopes meet. They form a watertight seal that prevents rainwater, wind, and debris from penetrating your roof’s most vulnerable area. Without properly fitted ridge tiles, your roof could be exposed to leaks and structural issues over time.

Traditional mortar ridge tiles are bedded in cement, which provides strength but can crack or loosen over time due to weathering. Dry ridge systems, on the other hand, use mechanical fixings instead of mortar, making them maintenance-free, weather-resistant, and far longer-lasting. They also allow for ventilation, which helps reduce condensation and damp within your roof space.

Dry ridge systems can last 30 years or more with minimal maintenance, thanks to their secure fixings and weatherproof design. Mortar ridge tiles generally require repairs or repointing every 10–15 years as mortar naturally deteriorates. Investing in a dry ridge system provides excellent long-term value.

In many cases, mortar ridge tiles can be repaired by repointing or resetting them. However, if the mortar has deteriorated extensively or tiles have become loose and unsafe, replacement may be the best option. Our team will always inspect your ridge tiles and advise whether a repair or a full upgrade to a dry ridge system is the most cost-effective solution.

Yes, dry ridge systems are designed to work with most pitched roofs, including slate and tile roofs. They can be retrofitted to replace old mortar-bedded ridge tiles or installed on new builds for long-lasting durability. Our specialists at DPL Group assess each property to ensure compatibility and a perfect fit.

One of the key benefits of dry ridge systems is that they are virtually maintenance-free. Unlike mortar, which cracks and needs regular attention, dry ridge tiles remain secure and watertight without ongoing upkeep. However, we recommend occasional inspections to ensure everything remains in good condition, especially after extreme weather.
