Ridge Repairs in Winnersh
Ridge tile mortar failures are a regular repair call from Winnersh's 1960s and 1970s concrete tile housing. Legacy Roofing re-beds and re-points ridge tiles across Winnersh, raking out fully before new mortar goes down, and offers dry-ridge installation as a more durable alternative where a mortar ridge has become a recurring problem.
We find that ridge mortar on Winnersh's older housing is often a mix of original lime mortar on the 1930s properties and OPC on the post-war rebuilds — the two materials need different replacement specifications, and we assess the existing mortar type before selecting the mix.

Ridge Repairs in Winnersh — 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.
