Clay ridge tiles are the curved or angled tiles installed along the peak or ridge of a roof. They play a crucial role in protecting the roof from rain water seeping in, sealing the roof’s apex and making the roof more stable and durable. With proper installation and maintenance, clay ridge tiles can last between 50 and 100 years.
Clay ridge tiles are resistant to moisture, frost and extreme weather conditions. Their durability and weatherproofing qualities make them a suitable choice for roofs across the South West of England. They are a popular choice for traditional, heritage and roofs on listed buildings due to their compatibility with period-specific roofing styles.
We recommend that you inspect the clay ridge tiles on your roof once a year or after severe weather, to ensure they remain secure and intact. Minor repairs or re-bedding may be necessary over time, but full replacements are rarely required unless the tiles become damaged.
