Ashington Ridge Repointing
Mortar-bedded ridges crack, moss lifts them, and eventually a tile slips onto the drive. Repointing buys another few years; a dry-ridge conversion buys 30. We'll quote both so you can choose on lifetime cost. We're regularly on roofs close to the A189, through Hirst and Newbiggin-edge.
- Full ridge strip and re-bed option
- Dry-ridge conversion option (BS 5534)
- Hip ridges included where present
- Cracked ridge tiles replaced
- Proper vented ridge on conversion
Ashington context
Ashington's housing is dominated by terraced colliery streets where roof age is consistent across whole rows. Strategic ridge and valley work on those streets is far more cost-effective than reactive single-tile repairs. Regular access via A189 and A197.
Housing stock we usually work on here
Long colliery-era terraces in Hirst, plus 1960s social housing and newer estates around the outskirts.
