Ridge Tiles
Keeping your roof in top condition is essential for safeguarding your property. At GU Roofing and Guttering, we specialise in providing professional roof ridge and verge repairs in Winchester and surrounding areas. Whether you’re dealing with minor wear or extensive damage, our skilled roofers deliver effective, long-lasting solutions tailored to your needs.
The ridge tiles on your roof are susceptible to damage from the weather as they are the most exposed. Over time, the mortar gradually breaks down, and when combined with harsh weather, this can lead to loose ridge tiles. Rainwater can seep through small gaps, freeze, and crack the mortar, causing this deterioration. When this happens, new cement is needed to fix the tiles. Damaged ridge tiles should be replaced with ones that match in colour and profile, which can be challenging to source in older houses. If finding a match proves difficult, it might be necessary to replace the entire ridge.
Why Regular Maintenance Matters
Regular inspections and maintenance of your roof ridges and verges can prevent problems before they arise. Our team offers expert advice and services to keep your roof in excellent condition year-round.
Ignoring minor issues with your roof ridges and verges can lead to more extensive and costly repairs in the future. Repairing these areas promptly helps to:
Prevent water ingress
and leaks
Protect your property from structural damage
Maintain the overall appearance and functionality of your roof.
FAQs about our ridge tile service
What courses damage to roof ridges and mortar?
Weather exposure, including rain, wind and temperature fluctuations, can cause mortar to weaken over time. Poor installation or a lack of regular maintenance can also contribute to damage. At GU Roofing and Guttering, we use high-quality materials to ensure durable repairs that withstand the elements.
How do i know if my roof ridge needs repairing or repointing?
Signs include loose or missing tiles, cracked mortar, water leaks or visible gaps around ridge tiles. If you notice any of these, it’s essential to act quickly. Our experienced team at GU Roofing and Guttering can inspect your roof and identify any issues before they worsen.
What are roof ridge repairs and pointing
Roof ridge repairs involve fixing the highest part of your roof, where two slopes meet. Repointing is the process of renewing the mortar that holds ridge tiles securely in place. At GU Roofing and Guttering, we repair damaged tiles, replace worn mortar and ensure your roof is both functional and visually appealing.
Why is repointing important for ridge tiles?
Repointing helps secure ridge tiles in place, preventing them from becoming loose or dislodged. This not only protects your property from water ingress but also enhances the overall stability of your roof. At GU Roofing and Guttering, our repointing services ensure your roof remains safe and secure.
How long does roof ridge repointing last?
With proper installation and quality materials, repointing can last for 10–15 years or more. At GU Roofing and Guttering, we use industry-approved techniques and premium mortar to deliver long-lasting results, giving you peace of mind.
