Ridging Inspections

The ridge, situated at the peak of a thatched roof, endures the harshest weather conditions. As a result, it requires maintenance and occasionally needs replacement every few years. Industry standards suggest replacing the ridge approximately every 10 years. Regular inspections can help maximise the ridge’s lifespan.

Why Do You Need to Re-ridge?

The ridge of a thatched roof is the most vulnerable to the elements and weather conditions. It sustains the most damage and typically requires replacement every 10 years. During our inspections, we assess whether your roof’s ridge needs repairs or a complete replacement.

Maintaining Your Thatched Roof Ridge

To extend the lifespan of your roof’s ridge between maintenance intervals, consider these tips:

  1. Ensure Proper Ventilation: Make sure your roof is well-ventilated. This helps it dry out quickly after rain showers, reducing the risk of moss and algae growth on the ridge.

  2. Handle with Care: Avoid using ladders or tools in a way that could damage the roof. Any damage can lead to further deterioration over time, so handle your roof gently to maintain its condition.
