Ridge Repairs in Finchampstead
Ridge mortar on Finchampstead's post-war concrete tile roofs is a consistent maintenance issue. Legacy Roofing re-beds and re-points ridge tiles across the parish, and installs dry-ridge systems where the mortar ridge has become a recurring problem. As the local contractor, we can often assess and quote on the same day for properties in Finchampstead.
Some of the older Finchampstead cottages have clay or concrete crested ridge tiles — a decorative profile that needs sourcing carefully when individual tiles need replacing. We advise on matching profiles before any work begins and source reclaimed material where a discontinued profile is involved.

Ridge Repairs in Finchampstead — 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.
