Location: Leyburn, North Yorkshire
Project Name: Dry Ridge System Upgrade
Completion Date: [Insert Date]
Contractor: Northern Heritage Roofing

Project Overview

Northern Heritage Roofing was commissioned to upgrade the existing ridge system on a residential bungalow in Leyburn, North Yorkshire. The old mortar-fixed ridge was deteriorating and required replacement with a modern, maintenance-free dry ridge system.

Scope of Work

• Careful removal and disposal of the old mortar ridge system
• Inspection of ridge line for structural soundness
• Supply and installation of a new grey concrete dry ridge system
• Mechanical fixing of ridge tiles in line with BS 8612 standards
• Installation of ridge roll for improved ventilation and waterproofing
• Full clean-up and final inspection

Materials Used

• Grey concrete ridge tiles
• Ventilated dry ridge kit
• Stainless steel mechanical fixings
• Ridge roll and weatherproofing components
• Treated timber (if required)

Challenges & Solutions

The existing mortar ridge had become cracked and loose in areas, posing a risk during high winds. Our team removed the failing materials and ensured the new dry ridge system was securely installed with proper ventilation and no reliance on cement-based products, offering improved longevity and durability.

Outcome

The new grey concrete dry ridge system not only enhances the roof’s visual appeal but also provides long-term structural integrity and improved ventilation. The system is virtually maintenance-free, giving the homeowner peace of mind and added protection against future weather damage.
