Ridge & Hip Tiles
Ridge tiles run along the apex of your roof, and hip tiles cover the angled edges. Over time, the mortar bedding cracks and crumbles, causing ridge and hip tiles to loosen or fall off entirely. We remove the old mortar, clean the area, and re-bed the tiles using modern dry-fix systems or traditional mortar, depending on your preference and the style of your roof.
Why Choose Ridge & Hip Tiles?
- Prevents water penetration at the most vulnerable points of the roof
- Modern dry-fix systems eliminate future mortar cracking
- Secures loose ridge tiles before they fall and cause injury or damage
- Improves the overall appearance of your roofline
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a dry-fix ridge system?
A dry-fix system secures ridge and hip tiles mechanically using clips, brackets, and a roll-out ventilation strip, rather than relying on sand-and-cement mortar. Dry-fix systems are more durable, allow proper roof ventilation, and are now required under current British Standards for new builds and re-roofs.
