Ridge tiles Information, help and tips on many areas of roofing including trusses, tiling, venting, insulation etc....

Some of the mortar between each ridge tile on our gabled roof is missing. Viewed from the ground the tiles do not appear to be loosened & the loft appears watertight but I was wondering is this a job, re-mortaring between the tiles, that needs doing sooner than later please?

Hi polypody,
Unless the ridges are loose or you have water ingress I would suggest you leave well alone.
Making good would involve raking out loose mortar, soaking the joints and then repointing.
