Client: Private Residential
Location: Newcastle, Tyne and Wear
Project Name: Dry Ridge System Installation & Clay Tile Repairs
Completion Date: 18/05/2024
Contractor: Northern Heritage Roofing

Project Overview

Northern Heritage Roofing was contracted to carry out essential maintenance and upgrades on a mono-pitched roof at a residential property in Newcastle-upon-Tyne. The project involved installing a new dry ridge system and replacing a dozen damaged clay roof tiles to restore the roof’s structural integrity and prevent future water ingress.

Scope of Work

• Removal of the existing mortar-based ridge system
• Installation of a new ventilated dry ridge system
• Replacement of 12 cracked or missing clay roof tiles
• Full inspection of the roofline for further issues
• Secure mechanical fixing of ridge tiles in line with BS 8612 standards
• Final inspection and debris removal

Materials Used

• Ventilated dry ridge kit
• Clay replacement tiles to match existing
• Stainless steel fixings and clamps
• Ridge roll and breathable underlay (where required)

Challenges & Solutions

The mono-pitched roof design required precise alignment of the dry ridge components for optimal performance and appearance. Our team ensured the mechanical fixings were tight and evenly spaced for durability, while carefully sourcing clay tiles that closely matched the originals for a seamless repair.

Outcome

The roof is now structurally sound, weather-resistant, and compliant with modern standards. The dry ridge system offers long-term performance with no need for mortar maintenance, and the tile replacements have restored the uniformity of the roof’s appearance.

Customer Feedback
