Maybe re cementing weren’t his exact words, but he was speaking about renewing the mortar rather than lifting and rebedding. My concern is whether just renewing the mortar is a quick fix as I don’t want to dish out £800 for a quick fix

Hi, I have a 4 bed 1930s semi, and had the front chimney removed last week because it was letting water in. When the job was finished, the roofer said that my ridge tiles had gaps in the cement, and could do with repairing. He said he wouldn't rebed them, just clean the old mortar out with a...

Will this item suffice? I guess I just use four of the six connections slots. Thanks

Unfortunately not
