Loose Ridge Tiles Are a Serious Risk

Ridge and hip tiles sit at the highest, most exposed points of your roof. Over the years, the mortar bedding that holds them in place cracks, shrinks and eventually crumbles away. Once the bond fails, tiles can slip or blow off entirely — exposing the timber beneath to rain, wind and frost damage.

Radiant Roofing carries out ridge and hip repairs across Kent, Sussex and Surrey. We can rebed tiles in fresh mortar for a traditional finish, or upgrade to a modern dry-fix system that uses mechanical clips and eliminates the need for mortar altogether — giving you a longer-lasting, maintenance-free result.

Frequently Asked Questions

Ridge and hip repairs typically cost between £300 and £2,500 depending on the length of the run, the method used and access requirements. A short mortar rebed on a bungalow is at the lower end, while a full dry-fix upgrade on a large detached home sits higher. We always provide a fixed written quote after inspection.

A mortar rebed involves removing the old crumbling mortar and rebedding the ridge tiles in fresh sand-and-cement mix. A dry-fix system uses mechanical clips and rubber gaskets to hold the tiles in place without any mortar. Dry-fix lasts longer, resists frost damage and requires no future repointing, making it the better long-term investment.

Look for cracked or missing mortar along the ridge line, tiles that appear crooked or raised, and pieces of mortar in your gutters or on the ground after high winds. If you can see daylight or felt from ground level where the ridge meets the roof tiles, the mortar has likely failed and repair is needed.

We cover Kent, East Sussex, West Sussex and Surrey. Our teams regularly work in Tunbridge Wells, Crowborough, Sevenoaks, Tonbridge, Uckfield, Haywards Heath, East Grinstead and surrounding towns and villages.

Yes. Every ridge and hip repair we carry out is backed by our workmanship guarantee. If you opt for a dry-fix system, you also receive the manufacturer warranty, which typically covers the system for 25 years or more. If any issue arises after our work, we return and put it right at no extra cost.
