Ridge repair ?

[trevorbayliss]

Anyone know how i repair this i found today while doing the gutters.

Looks like i need to fit in a new cut tile, but that means taking off the ridge tile and cementing etc.

Do you know if i used a load of cement that would do the trick or is that a waste of time.

The hip ridge should come down further than it is just now, it looks like whoever done it just used cement which would only be a temporary fix.

You need to get a new ridge and bed it on, I would recommend taking the bottom one off and putting the full ridge further down and using the new one as a cut so that the ridge is supported better.

You could use cement but it would eventually leak as it would draw the water in.

Thanks Makie, that makes total sense and i just didn't realise it had been done wrong. Cheers

to do a proper job then the flat tiles and the hip tiles in that area need to be removed.

because theres rot and water damage to the woodwork - laths and fascia an any wood soffit.
also remove the corner gutter sections, the is probly leakin.
you can probly get outside corner fittings in that gutter profile - google mfr's.

youl need to work from a tower.

Looks like continuous aluminium gutter to me. You won't get that off the shelf.
Needs hip off, check the rot, hip iron fitted then rebed hip with a cut above to take up the gap
