What we do
Ridge Tile Repointing
Over time, mortar used to fix ridge tiles can deteriorate, crack, or crumble due to weather exposure. This can lead to loose or missing tiles, water ingress, and even structural issues if left unattended.
Our ridge tile repointing service restores the stability of your roof by carefully removing damaged mortar and reapplying fresh, high-quality pointing materials. This not only secures the tiles but also enhances the roof’s overall durability.
Dry Ridge Systems
A dry ridge system is a modern alternative to traditional mortar, using mechanical fixings to secure ridge tiles in place. This approach eliminates the common problems associated with mortar, such as cracking and weather damage, making it a maintenance-free solution for homeowners.
We supply and install high-quality dry ridge systems that offer superior ventilation, weather resistance, and strength. With no need for ongoing repointing, this is a cost-effective and long-lasting choice for many properties across Newcastle.
Ridge Tile Repairs & Replacements
If ridge tiles are cracked, broken, or missing, they should be repaired or replaced as quickly as possible to prevent leaks and damage to your roof structure. Our expert team can quickly identify issues and carry out precise repairs using matching materials, ensuring your roof looks seamless and remains fully weatherproof.
Where tiles are beyond repair, we provide full replacements, fitting new ridge tiles securely to restore protection and appearance.
Ridge System Maintenance
Even the best ridge systems benefit from periodic inspections to check for cracks, loose tiles, or signs of wear. At DPL Group (NE) Ltd, we provide maintenance services that help extend the lifespan of your roof, reduce the risk of costly repairs, and keep your property protected year-round.

Frequently asked questions

What are ridge tiles and why are they important for my roof?
Ridge tiles are the specially designed tiles that cover and protect the highest point of your roof where two slopes meet. They form a watertight seal that prevents rainwater, wind, and debris from penetrating your roof’s most vulnerable area. Without properly fitted ridge tiles, your roof could be exposed to leaks and structural issues over time.
What is the difference between traditional mortar ridge tiles and dry ridge systems?
Traditional mortar ridge tiles are bedded in cement, which provides strength but can crack or loosen over time due to weathering. Dry ridge systems, on the other hand, use mechanical fixings instead of mortar, making them maintenance-free, weather-resistant, and far longer-lasting. They also allow for ventilation, which helps reduce condensation and damp within your roof space.
How long does a dry ridge system last compared to mortar ridge tiles?
Dry ridge systems can last 30 years or more with minimal maintenance, thanks to their secure fixings and weatherproof design. Mortar ridge tiles generally require repairs or repointing every 10–15 years as mortar naturally deteriorates. Investing in a dry ridge system provides excellent long-term value.
Can you repair mortar ridge tiles, or do they always need replacing?
In many cases, mortar ridge tiles can be repaired by repointing or resetting them. However, if the mortar has deteriorated extensively or tiles have become loose and unsafe, replacement may be the best option. Our team will always inspect your ridge tiles and advise whether a repair or a full upgrade to a dry ridge system is the most cost-effective solution.
Are dry ridge systems suitable for all types of roofs?
Yes, dry ridge systems are designed to work with most pitched roofs, including slate and tile roofs. They can be retrofitted to replace old mortar-bedded ridge tiles or installed on new builds for long-lasting durability. Our specialists at DPL Group assess each property to ensure compatibility and a perfect fit.
Do dry ridge systems require maintenance?
One of the key benefits of dry ridge systems is that they are virtually maintenance-free. Unlike mortar, which cracks and needs regular attention, dry ridge tiles remain secure and watertight without ongoing upkeep. However, we recommend occasional inspections to ensure everything remains in good condition, especially after extreme weather.
