ridge tiles

I have just replaced felt on a roof and extended a dormer, BC have suggested using a dry ridge system to allow ventilation with the existing eaves vents. I purchased a dry ridge system and planning to fit this weekend. What i am concerned about is all my existing ridge tiles have x2 holes in...

The photo shows a missing ridge tile from the garage roof. Being new to this I’d like to know what I’m talking about when chatting to roofers/ builders please. 1) The ridge beam is partly exposed. Has some membrane material rotted? Should the beam be covered? If so with what membrane? (I...

I am building my first roof and have some questions about flashing and ridge tiles. For the abutment (first photo), I plan to use cavity trays with integral lead flashing. For the other side (first photo), I am not sure how to form the flashing. The gap between the ridge and the chimney is 4.5”...

Hi there. Can anyone give me any tips on installing Rounded Ridge tiles to my new build please? I've heard that its better to use sharp sand. Can anyone confirm the mortar mix ratio and any additives? How do you pack underneath the gaps/joins to ensure mortar doesn't drop endlessly onto the...

Hi,does anyone know of a roof ladder hook that will go over these ridge tiles? Most of the roof ladders I have seen would not clear these,and would disturb or damage them

Hi. I am nearly ready to start the roof on my extension and just wanted to get the installation clear in my head. I'm fairly confident about installing the wall plate, trusses, strapping and even things like membrane, battens etc. The part i'm trying to get my head around is the detail where...

I received a quotation from a roofer which stated the old removed ridge tiles would be mechanically fixed to a fitted timber along the ridge line, with the tiles being rebedded in with a 3:1 mortar mix. Any broken tiles would be replaced. However, when the workman were carrying out works they...
