Do I need dry-ridge on a Stockport 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.

How long does re-pointed ridge mortar last on a Stockport roof?
15-25 years with a proper 3:1 mix and flexi-pointing on top. On exposed SK1 roofs we'll recommend a dry-ridge kit instead — mechanically fixed, no mortar to fail.

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.
