Ridge Repointing Cork

Ridge Tile Repointing And Re-bedding In Cork

Slate roof with repointed ridge and hip tiles on a Cork home

The ridge tiles along the top of your roof take the full force of Cork wind and rain. Over the years the mortar holding them in place cracks, shrinks and washes out, leaving tiles loose and letting water into the roof space. Cork Roof Repairs repoints and re-beds ridge and hip tiles on homes and commercial properties across Cork city and county.

Not every ridge needs the same fix. Where the tiles are sound and only the pointing has failed, we rake out the loose mortar and repoint the joints. Where the bedding underneath has broken down, we lift the tiles, clean them, and re-bed them on fresh mortar so they sit firmly again. Cracked or broken tiles are replaced with matching ones.

On some roofs a dry ridge system is the better long-term option. It fixes each ridge tile mechanically instead of relying on mortar alone, which means far less maintenance in future. We will tell you honestly which approach suits your roof and why.

While we are on the roof, we check the slates or tiles, flashings and valleys near the ridge and let you know if anything else needs attention, with photos so you can see it for yourself.

Signs Your Ridge Tiles Need Repointing

Cracked or missing mortar

Gaps along the joints between ridge tiles, or mortar crumbling away, are the first sign the pointing has failed.

Loose or rocking ridge tiles

If a tile has moved or you can see daylight under it, the bedding has broken down and the tile needs re-bedding before wind lifts it off.

Mortar on the ground or in the gutters

Pieces of mortar in your garden or gutters usually come from the ridge or hips above.

Damp patches near the top of the house

Water getting in at the ridge often shows up as damp on top-floor ceilings or in the attic.

After a storm

High winds are the most common reason ridge tiles move or fall. It is worth having them checked after a bad storm, even if nothing looks wrong from the ground.

Moss and vegetation along the ridge

Growth along the ridge holds moisture against the mortar and speeds up its breakdown.

Our first job is stopping further damage, a temporary weatherproof cover, replacing lost slates or tiles, or resealing failed flashing to get the roof watertight and the water out of your home.

Assess the full extent of the damage

Once the roof is secure, we check what's actually failed and what it has affected. We explain clearly what needs doing now and what can wait, with the work set out before we proceed.

Return for the permanent repair

Where a lasting fix needs dry conditions or ordered materials, we come back to complete it properly, so the roof isn't just patched but repaired to last.

We called Cork Roof Repairs to deal with a leak around our chimney, and they discovered the flashing had deteriorated. They replaced it quickly and also cleaned out years of debris from the gutters.

Had a complete roof repair on my extension carried out by Benjamin and his team. Highly recommend this company. Benjamin is a very nice guy and his business proved trustworthy and honourable.
Oisín Smith Google reviewer
The moss build-up on our roof was out of control, and it was starting to cause water staining on the walls. Cork Roof Repairs carefully removed the moss and applied a protective sealant to prevent regrowth.
