Ridge tile re-bedding, re-pointing and lead flashing work across Wrexham and North Wales. The details at the top of the roof and around the chimney are where the weather gets in, and they are exactly the jobs we never rush.
Ridge Tiles & Lead Work, covered as standard on every job.
Loose ridge tiles lifted, old mortar cleaned off and the ridge re-bedded solid, or upgraded to a dry-ridge system that never needs pointing again.
Mechanically fixed, maintenance-free ridge kits that meet current standards and hold firm in the gales that come off the Welsh hills.
Chimney flashings, step flashings and valleys cut, dressed and pointed in proper code lead, not sealed with a tube of mastic that fails in two summers.
Crumbling verges and ridge lines re-pointed cleanly, keeping the roof edge weathertight and looking sharp from the street.
Yes, treat it as urgent. A loose ridge tile in a North Wales gale becomes a projectile, and the open joint underneath lets water straight into the roof. Re-bedding or a dry-ridge upgrade is a quick, inexpensive job compared to what a falling tile can do.
Mortar is the traditional method and looks right on period properties, but it eventually cracks and needs re-pointing. Dry ridge fixes every tile mechanically with no mortar to fail, and current building standards favour it on re-roofs. We fit both and will recommend the right one for your roof.
Lead moves with the building, lasts fifty years or more and seals the junction properly. Mastic and stick-on tapes are short-term patches that crack and peel within a couple of years, usually leaving you with the same leak plus a messier repair.
