Remember The Ridges And Verges!
During these warmer months, you should ensure your roof is prepared and ready for the autumn, particularly the vulnerable areas like the ridges and verges. If you have a pitched roof, a verge is where the border of your roof connects the triangular area on the upper part of the wall, where the ridged part of the roof finishes. The ridge is usually where the tiles are fitted to the high point of a roof.
Due to the bad weather, you will find your roof is affected. Ridge tiles are different to normal roof tiles, where they only have rain fall on them directly, rather than moving along water. They can be affected from the wind depending on the direction it takes. This can be a concern, as your roof can be affected overall. After all, you don’t want the tiles to be a hazard, particularly if there has been a storm making the tiles loose or dislodged. So, the ridges need to be looked after, as they are integral to the strength of your roof.
You may find your roof relies on mortar, which can wear away in time, particularly with older houses. Eventually mortar needs to be replaced with more modern day solutions, such as dry verge or ridge projects. Call Thomas Roofing today for all roof repairs in Tottenham and North London.
