Murton 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 A19, through South Hetton and Easington-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
Murton context
Murton's terraced rows behave like a single roof in many ways — fix one chimney and the neighbour's is usually next. We routinely quote runs of three or four houses together to keep costs sensible. Regular access via A19 and B1285.
Housing stock we usually work on here
Tight-knit ex-colliery terraces, with newer in-fill housing on former pit land.
