The ridgeway refers to the highest point of a pitched roof, where two sloping sides meet. This is commonly known as the ridge of the roof. The ridge is covered with ridge tiles or a ridge system to provide weatherproofing and structural stability. At West Country Tiling, we specialise in traditional and heritage roofing, including:
- Mortar-bedded ridge tiles – a traditional method using lime or cement mortar to secure ridge tiles.
- Dry ridge systems – a modern alternative that allows for ventilation and flexibility without the need for mortar.
- Leadwork at the ridge – used for additional weatherproofing in heritage roofing.
If you need expert advice on ridgeway repairs, restoration, or traditional roofing techniques, our team at West Country Tiling is happy to help. Please contact us for a free, no obligation quote.
