Ridge Repairs in Wokingham
Ridge tiles on Wokingham's older properties — Victorian terraces in the town centre and the interwar semis on streets like Sturges Road — are often bedded in original lime mortar that has now softened and crumbled. Legacy Roofing re-beds and re-points ridge tiles across Wokingham, raking out fully rather than topping over, and offers dry-ridge installation where a mortar ridge has become a recurring maintenance issue.
We are regularly called to properties on Wellington Road and the surrounding Emmbrook area where a single loose ridge tile has been found after a windy night. It is rarely just one — a systematic inspection of the full ridge run usually finds others that are barely hanging on.

Ridge Repairs in Wokingham — 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.
