Ridge Repairs in Bracknell
Ridge mortar failure is among the most common repair calls Legacy Roofing receives from Bracknell properties. The concrete interlocking tile roofs on the New Town estates were typically bedded in OPC mortar at the ridge, and after 50-plus years that mortar has cracked and softened. We re-bed and re-point ridge tiles across Bracknell, and install dry-ridge systems where a more durable long-term solution is wanted.
It is common to find that every property on a given street in Bracknell's New Town estates has ridge mortar in broadly similar condition — the houses were built together and have aged together. We sometimes carry out multiple ridge repairs in the same street over a short period.

Ridge Repairs in Bracknell — FAQs
Pointing over failed mortar simply covers the problem — the failed bed beneath will continue to deteriorate and the repair will not last. We rake out fully and re-bed properly.
A dry-ridge system uses mechanical fittings to secure ridge tiles without mortar. It is more durable long-term and we recommend it where a mortar ridge has been a recurring maintenance issue.
Not necessarily — but it is worth having the rest of the ridge inspected, because if one tile has gone others are often loose. We assess the full run and advise honestly.
