Ridge Repointing — Boldon & NE35 – NE36
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 A19, through West Boldon and East Boldon.
- 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
Boldon context
Boldon splits between higher-value East Boldon properties and the older Colliery stock — and we approach those very differently. Heritage-grade detail in one and value-focused durability in the other. Regular access via A19 and A184.
Housing stock we usually work on here
Larger detached and semi-detached homes through East Boldon, with smaller terraces in Boldon Colliery.
Weather considerations
Slightly inland from the coast — wind-driven rain on west-facing slopes is the dominant local issue.
