Ridge Repairs in Crowthorne
Ridge tile mortar failure is a familiar call from Crowthorne's post-war housing stock. The combination of mature tree cover — which encourages moss growth on the ridge mortar as well as the main tile surface — and decades of freeze-thaw cycling has softened the mortar beds on many of the area's concrete tile roofs. Legacy Roofing re-beds ridge tiles across Crowthorne.
We find that ridge mortar on Crowthorne's north-facing pitches deteriorates faster than on equivalent exposed properties, because the shade encourages the moss and moisture retention that accelerates frost damage in the mortar joint.

Ridge Repairs in Crowthorne — 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.
