Wallsend 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, out around Wallsend Business Park, through Battle Hill and High Farm.
- 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
Wallsend context
Wallsend roofs sit close enough to the river that wind-driven rain is the recurring enemy. Most of our work here is gable flashing repair and chimney pointing rather than full re-roofs. Regular access via A19 and A187. We're often out around Wallsend Business Park.
Housing stock we usually work on here
Edwardian terraces close to the Roman Wall corridor and large social-housing estates through Battle Hill.
