Wargrave, Berkshire
Ridge Repairs in Wargrave
Ridge tile repairs on Wargrave's period properties need to use materials that match the original building — reclaimed or period-reproduction clay crested ridges rather than modern concrete profiles, and lime mortar bedding rather than OPC cement on properties with lime-built chimney stacks and masonry. Legacy Roofing carries out ridge repairs in Wargrave with appropriate period materials.
Some of Wargrave's Victorian cottages have clay ridge tiles with a scalloped or fish-scale decorative profile — a distinctive feature of Thames Valley vernacular building. Sourcing matching reclaimed profiles for individual replacement is essential to maintaining the character of these buildings.

Ridge Repairs in Wargrave — 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.
