I get your point mate on bedded ridges but bedding them on maybe old school but the ridges on my mum’s council house are still as solid as the day they where laid in 1953
Hope this wasn't a newly built roof....the state of that ridge line, looks like a snake going over a speed hump! Oh and they are ⅓ round ridges not ½ round.
Fine as it goes, but my worry would be if you need to replace a top slate, because the clips hold every ridge tile tight to the next one, I presume you have to take up to half of all the ridge tiles off just to replace the one top slate. That's the only concern I have as it's a good system otherwise
When running a dry ridge into a chimney is there any need too run sealant from the ridge tile too brickwork/lead work if that’s makes sense what stops water running down the face of the brick and into the ridge space and leaking cheers?
Hi Dan, it depends on what you’re using to cover the roof, obviously slate is a lot thinner than the concrete tiles so the Batton doesn’t need to be as thick. You’re best off starting with a single or doubled up slaters lath and you can always add on to it if the screws are still not catching
Hi, I always wondered how they stay on with a clip system! Just one question, don't the screws rust and break off over time leaving the tile loose? TY.
@@Daemiex Good to know and NOT at the same time!!! Since I posted the question I've had the roof done, they took me up there so I had a good look at how it all goes together :)
Hi Ian, my home was built 1997 but my Dry Ridge System is much different to this and i can see day light through mine, Its like 1 inch square holes under the half ridge tile. but since buying this house last year it rains thro into the attic and in driving rain it needs buckets, any suggestions buddy
Hi Neil, I haven't much experience with the older versions of the dry ridge system. My recommendation would be to have it replaced by a decent local roofer with a modern system like the one on the video. Its quick, easy, relatively cheap and if the ridge tiles themselves are in good condition they can be re-used. Hope that helps
