We recently carried out a roof upgrade in Rhuddlan, North Wales, installing a new dry ridge system to replace the existing mortar based ridge. This upgrade provides a far more secure and maintenance free solution, ideal for modern roofing standards and exposed weather conditions.
The original ridge line was showing clear signs of failure, with cracked and loose mortar along the ridge tiles. This is a common issue over time, especially with constant exposure to wind and rain, and can lead to movement in the ridge tiles and potential water ingress if left untreated.
Our team carefully removed the old ridge tiles and all failing mortar, preparing the ridge line for the new system. A dry ridge system was then installed using a ventilated membrane and mechanically fixed ridge tiles, ensuring everything was aligned, secure, and built to current regulations. This method allows for natural airflow while firmly fixing the ridge tiles in place.
The materials used provide long term durability without the need for ongoing repointing. The dry ridge system offers improved resistance to wind uplift and eliminates the common issues associated with traditional mortar ridges, making it a smart upgrade for any property.
The finished result is a clean, straight ridge line that not only improves the look of the roof but also adds long term reliability. If you are in Rhuddlan or anywhere across North Wales and are considering a dry ridge system or roof repairs, get in touch today for a free no obligation quote.
