Ridge Tile Repair and Re-Bedding by AntiAqua Roofing Solutions
Repairing Ridge Tiles
Vulnerability to Weather Damage
Ridge tiles, the most exposed part of your roof, are particularly susceptible to weather damage. Over time, the mortar that secures these tiles deteriorates, often exacerbated by adverse weather conditions. Rainwater can seep into tiny crevices, freeze, and cause the mortar to crack. When this happens, repairing the tiles with fresh cement is crucial.
Replacement Challenges:
Broken ridge tiles must be replaced with tiles that match the original colour and profile. This can be challenging, especially for older homes where matching tiles may be hard to find. In such cases, replacing the entire ridge may be necessary to maintain a uniform appearance and ensure the roof’s structural integrity.
Re-Bedding Ridge Tiles
At Anti Aqua Roofing Solutions, we specialize in re-bedding ridge tiles, addressing issues caused by aged materials, poor mixtures, or previous substandard work. Unlike some roofing companies that take shortcuts, we ensure the longevity and stability of our re-bedding work by using a proven mixture of sand, sharp sand, and cement.
Dry Ridge Systems
Compliance with BS 5534
Newly constructed roofs must have dry ridge systems installed, per BS 5534 regulations. Dry ridge systems offer a more durable solution than traditional mortar-bonded ridge tiles, which various external factors can compromise.
Benefits of Dry Ridge Systems
Dry ridge systems provide a secure hold for ridge tiles, even in the harshest weather conditions. They require significantly less maintenance than mortar-bonded systems, reducing the risk of damage and the need for frequent repairs.
Roof Ventilation
Another advantage of dry ridge systems is their improved roof ventilation. This helps prevent condensation buildup, which can cause leaks, damage, and mould growth. Proper ventilation is essential for maintaining the health of your roof and extending its lifespan.
