Ridging Inspections
The ridge is located at the top of a thatched roof so it gets the worst of the weather. Therefore it requires regular maintenance and sometimes even replacement every few years. A recommendation throughout the industry for a ridge replacement is around 10 years, carrying out an inspection will ensure the ridge lasts for as long as possible.
Why Do You Need to Re-ridge?
The ridge of a thatched roof is the most exposed part to the elements and weather. It’s the part that receives the most damage and therefore ideally needs to be replaced every 10 years. Our inspections will highlight whether you need repairs or a complete replacement of your roof’s ridge.

Maintaining Your Thatched Roof Ridge
To prolong your roof’s ridge in between maintenance there are a few things you can implement. Ensure that your roof is well ventilated so it’s able to dry out in the event of a rain shower. This will help to prevent the growth of moss and algae on the ridge.
Be careful of damaging the roof through the use of ladders and other tools. Damage of this type will increase the likelihood of further degradation down the line.
