Client: Private Residential
Location: Whitley Bay, Tyne and Wear
Project Name: Dry Ridge System Installation – Triple Garage Roof
Completion Date: 10/11/2024
Contractor: Northern Heritage Roofing

Project Overview

Northern Heritage Roofing was appointed to upgrade the ridge system on a detached triple-door pitched garage roof at a large residential property in Whitley Bay. The existing mortar-based ridge had begun to deteriorate, prompting the homeowner to opt for a modern, low-maintenance dry ridge system for improved durability and weather resistance.

Scope of Work

• Removal of the existing mortar ridge system
• Inspection of the ridge line and preparation of fixing surface
• Supply and installation of a new grey concrete dry ridge system
• Mechanical fixing of ridge tiles using ventilated dry ridge components
• Secure weatherproof sealing and ridge roll installation
• Final inspection and site clean-up

Materials Used

• Grey concrete ridge tiles
• Ventilated dry ridge kit
• Stainless steel fixings and clamps
• Ridge roll and breathable components
• Safety equipment and compliant fixings

Challenges & Solutions

As a detached triple-pitched garage, the structure required careful coordination to maintain symmetry across the three ridgelines. Our team ensured that each ridge section was securely and uniformly installed, with clean finishing lines to enhance the building’s overall appearance and weather performance.

Outcome

The completed dry ridge system provides a sleek, uniform look while delivering increased longevity and ventilation to the garage roof. The grey ridge tiles complement the property’s existing features and eliminate the need for ongoing mortar maintenance, offering both form and function.

Customer Feedback

"The new ridge system looks fantastic and really tidies up the garage roof. Northern Heritage Roofing did a great job — clean, efficient, and really friendly team. Would definitely use them again."
