Ridge Repairs in Woodley
Ridge mortar failure is one of the most common repair calls from Woodley's post-war housing. Legacy Roofing re-beds and re-points ridge tiles across Woodley, and installs dry-ridge systems where a mortar ridge has become a recurring maintenance issue. We inspect the full ridge run on every visit and advise honestly on what needs replacing versus what can be re-pointed.
Woodley's post-war housing was built with OPC mortar-bedded ridges as standard. After 50 to 70 years, this mortar has softened and cracked throughout the estates — it is common to find that every property on a given street needs ridge attention at a similar point in time.

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.
