Ridge tiles broken
Anonymous user 3 March 2024 - 3.42 PM
Due to the resent storms we had one whole section of ridge tiles fall off . The roof is only 9 years old. We are trying to find out what the best solution is , whether a dry ridge solution is best or is the mortar cement the best way to go Also what is the cost difference of the dry system compared to old cement system. Any advice please.
Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

Hi, I would go with the dry-ridge system as its maintenance free.

a dry ridge would be a better bet, cost wise not a lot of difference more labour cost with a cement ridge, more material cost with a dry ridge, sort of evens its self out.
good luck Alex

Hi. I would definitely recommend the dry ridge system, it’s a bit more expensive then sand/cement but is quicker to fit, so less charge for labour. So normally would work out to be same price

I cover insurance claims for roofs and the majority of ridge tiles blown off roofs during high winds are fixed using a dry ridge process and not mortar. i would stick with good old-fashioned mortar rather than plastic clips, just my opinion.
