Ridge Tile Repairs in Totton

Ridge Tile Repairs in Totton

Totton customers looking for ridge tile repairs turn to Hampshire Roof Repairs. The ridge and hip tiles running along the top and angles of a roof take more wind loading than almost anywhere else on the covering, simply because of their position. Traditionally these are bedded onto the roof in mortar, and that mortar bedding is exactly the kind of material that cracks, crumbles and eventually fails with age, weather and thermal movement — leaving the ridge tile loose or able to rock in the wind. Many roofs have since been fitted with a dry-fix ridge system instead, using mechanical clips rather than mortar, which avoids the crumbling-mortar problem but can still work loose if a clip fails or wasn't seated properly. Because the ridge sits at the very top of the roof, a failure here is a genuine route for water to get in at the apex and track down into the roof space on either side. Totton's roofing stock is largely post-war concrete tile, and the closer streets to Southampton Water pick up some of the same wind-driven rain that affects Southampton itself, which shows up most at chimney flashing and valley junctions. Away from the water the picture is more straightforward, with the usual pattern of storm-loosened tiles and blocked guttering after a wet spell.
