What have you noticed?
Ridge tiles cover the line where two roof slopes meet. A displaced piece, fragments of mortar on the ground or a visible gap can point to a defect. Keep clear of anything loose and describe what you can see from the ground.
What needs checking?
The inspection should establish whether the problem affects one piece or a longer run, and check the surrounding covering and fixing arrangement. Repeated mortar cracking deserves investigation rather than another surface patch.
Repairing the affected ridge
The appropriate work depends on the condition of the ridge pieces and the system beneath them. Ask which pieces can remain, which need replacing and how they will be secured. A new-looking finish alone does not explain what has been repaired.
What should the quote include?
Look for the length of ridge included, replacement pieces, fixing details, access and disposal. If a different ridge system is proposed, ask why it suits this roof and how any ventilation requirements will be handled.
Does one loose ridge mean a new roof?
Not necessarily. The condition around it matters. Read about roof repairs and the questions behind repair versus replacement.
