Roof Repairs Hedge End

Dry ridge and dry verge systems fix the underlying problem rather than repeating it. Mortar will always crack eventually; a mechanically fixed system will not, and it is why current building standards moved that way.

We will quote both where both are viable and tell you what the difference actually buys you, rather than assuming you want the more expensive option.

Hedge End grew enormously through the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s, and most of its housing carries roofs of that era: concrete interlocking tiles on trussed rafters, with mortar-bedded ridges and verges. Those roofs are now reaching the age where the tiles themselves are still sound but the things holding them in place are not.

That is the pattern we see here again and again. The mortar bedding the ridge tiles cracks and lets go, verge pointing crumbles along the gable, and a run of ridge tiles starts rocking in the wind long before any tile has actually broken. It looks alarming and it is usually a modest job.

Diagnosing it correctly is what saves money. A roof of this age rarely needs replacing – it needs the ridge re-bedded or converted to a dry system, the verges secured, and the flashings checked. Call 023 8155 0011 for a free inspection and a written quote.
