Ridge Repointing — Cramlington & NE23
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, out around Manor Walks, through Eastfield and Mayfield.
- 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
Cramlington context
Cramlington's exposed inland position means we tend to specify mechanically fixed verges and extra perimeter fixings — wind uplift here genuinely is a different problem than in sheltered Tyneside streets. Regular access via A19 and A1. We're often out around Manor Walks.
Housing stock we usually work on here
Planned new-town housing from the 1960s onwards — mostly interlocking concrete tiles on modest pitches.
Weather considerations
Open Northumberland farmland on three sides means wind uplift is a real concern — perimeter and verge fixing is critical.
