How quickly can you attend a Ridge Tile Re-Bedding & Re-Pointing job in Horwich?
We aim for a site visit within 24-48 hours across Horwich and the surrounding BL6 area — emergency leaks the same day where we can.
Are you insured to work on roofs in Horwich?

Yes — every quote is emailed within 48 hours of the site visit, with a clear scope, materials list, and a fixed price. No door-step pressure, no verbal-only quotes.
Will loose ridge tiles fail a home survey in Horwich?
Almost always flagged as 'requires attention' — sometimes as a category 3 defect. A written quote from us usually satisfies the buyer's surveyor while the sale progresses.
How long does a ridge re-bed take on a typical Horwich terrace?
A standard terrace ridge line is one day from scaffold up — sometimes two if hips are also being done. You get photos before and after.
Do I need dry-ridge on a Horwich roof?
New builds and re-roofs have to meet BS 5534, which usually means dry-ridge. On existing roofs it's a choice — dry-ridge lasts longest, mortar bedding still passes if it's freshly done right.
What's the difference between re-pointing and re-bedding ridge tiles?
Re-pointing tops up the mortar joint. Re-bedding lifts the tiles, cleans everything back, and lays a fresh mortar bed underneath. If tiles are already loose in Horwich, re-bedding is the right fix.
