Do you need to repoint ridges

Hi Scott If the mortor pointing has become porus or missing then there is a possibility of water ingress running under the tiles and into your property. You need to remove the ridge tiles clean off the old mortor bed and relay on new mortor. Regards Mike Cleverley

Hi. The response from mike cleverley is spot on advice and completely accurate. Its a job that you need to do to stop bigger problems in the future! Regards, Rick

Yes as Mike says, its always best to remove and rebed the ridge tiles, dont over point it, as it usually falls back out.

leaving ridge tiles in a poor state can move into bigger problems later, if a survey has picked up ont this i would into getting something done, mortar can get very porus after time and does need maintenance, i hope this helps you

Hi its best to take all the ridge off clean all old mortor off and rebed them with fresh mortor. Getting them pointed over will fall back out or not last as long hope this helps Thanks

Hi , prevention is cheaper than cure most certainly in this case ...pointing the bed of the ridges may prevent water ingress and bigger problems occurring, however if the ridges are still firmly situated it may create more damage to your roof by having ridges removed unnecessarily.....always best to have an expert give a full inspection prior to quotation of works needing carried out.
