I repointed the ridge tiles couple of weeks ago, next week I am going to replace some Marley Moderns from 1971. Not cracked but eroded from the edges (moss?), crubling away. This channel has been very useful, cheers.

Lovely streamlined neat pointing work. Really nice work . Alot of really good roofs can be let down by the muck work you've got it spot on. So pleasing to the eye

I am going to try doing a small ridge on my roof in Spain. The ridge tiles slant a bit. Is it ok to re do with the normal tile like you are using?

Had to remove one of my ridge tiles to replace a broken tile. Wish I’d seen this first cause all the videos I’d seen showed them bedded how you did it. My ridge tiles were completely set in cement like those ones you took off (but fully bedded all the way along!). Went to replace two tiles, ended up replacing 5 and another ridge tile. Nightmare!

Yeah I hear you. See it sometimes. Up in Scotland sometimes they fully bed due to the costal weather I guess but in mainland UK not really necessary and a lot easier to do.

I noticed you have used a 3 to 1 mix using just building sand. Some people recommend using a mixture of sharp sand and building. What are your thoughts on that?
@davesalter

Each to their own mate, a small amount of sharp sand wouldn’t be a problem but not too much.

What's your mix ratio and what type of sand? Is it agood idea to damp the tiles and ridge before applying the mortar? Especially if its a baking hot day. I often use a few drops of washing up liquid in a mix and also on my damping spray. I have also (on my sons1930's semi roof) blasted a bit of expanding foam into gaps under ridges that need pointing but are not loose. That stuff sticks anything to anything and my aim was to future proof against the tiles coming loose

My video on mixing mortar in a bucket covers mixes etc. damping tiles can be needed in very hot weather but I’d usually prefer to not do a lot of ridge bedding in a hot day. A mild cloudy day is best for ridges. If only a little bit needed on a hot day yea damp tiles first so they don’t suck up all the water in the muck and then dries too soon and cracks loose. I use plasticiser not washing up liquid, that’s banned on building sites these days and a bit old school and not advised, buy plasticiser. Also spray foam is terrible on ridges in my opinion. Just take them off and bed properly if there are gaps like that. That’s my professional opinion on it anyway. Thanks again for commenting mate.

How did you get broken tiles ?
@davesalter
@davesalter 2 жыл бұрын
Some break while climbing and walking on the roof, unavoidable really. Some are already broken and some break when removing the mortar. Always come with spares as you may need to replace at least a few.

I hope that broken tile first course below the ridge got changed lol! Jokes aside bud nice neat work👌🏻 I’m a roofer myself and can appreciate good quality work when I see it. Have you ever thought about/heard of using ridge clamps/runners? Much easier mate don’t have to keep dragging them along get them set and you can’t go wrong! Not judging ya buddy just constructive criticism, but we all have our own ways it’s down to personal preference!

Haha thanks mate. Yeah i actually do have a pair of the metal clamps and have used them a few times, they do help a lot. I didn't have them with me on this job, but i thought id show people how to do it without also. They do help more on a larger run also, this was fairly small in comparison to some roofs. Thanks for the comment bud!

Why do you put broken tiles on top of the mortar?
@davesalter
@davesalter 2 жыл бұрын
It supports the mortar and stops it sagging before it sets, also saves a little mortar, but mainly the first reason.
