Ridge Tile Repairs in Chatham , Medway

When your ridge tiles begin to show signs of wear, we offer two primary solutions: traditional wet-bed mortar repointing and modern dry-fix ridge systems. Wet-bed repair involves replacing the sand and cement bedding to secure the tiles back into place, which is often preferred for maintaining the original aesthetic of period buildings. Alternatively, many homeowners in Chatham are choosing to upgrade to dry ridge systems. These use mechanical fixings and waterproof unions, meaning you no longer have to worry about mortar crumbling or cracking over time. We assess your roof pitch and current tile type to recommend the most durable and cost-effective approach for your specific home.

Every project begins with a comprehensive inspection of your roofline to identify the root cause of any movement or water damage. We look for signs of interstitial condensation and timber decay to ensure we are addressing the whole issue, not just the surface symptoms. Once the damage is assessed, our team carefully removes the compromised mortar and cleans the area before installing new fixings or bedding materials. For properties in conservation areas, we take particular care to source matching materials, such as Kent peg tiles, ensuring that any repairs blend seamlessly with your existing roof. We prioritise safety throughout the process, adhering strictly to current Working at Height directives and UK building standards.
