Ridge Repointing in North Shields
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 (Tyne Tunnel approach), out around Royal Quays, through Preston and Chirton.
- 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
