FAQs — Trafford
Do you provide written quotes for Ridge Tile Re-Bedding & Re-Pointing in Trafford?
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 Trafford?
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.
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 Trafford, re-bedding is the right fix.
How long does re-pointed ridge mortar last on a Trafford roof?
15-25 years with a proper 3:1 mix and flexi-pointing on top. On exposed M32 roofs we'll recommend a dry-ridge kit instead — mechanically fixed, no mortar to fail.
Can you start a Ridge Tile Re-Bedding & Re-Pointing job in Trafford this month?
Usually yes for repairs and most flat roof jobs. Full re-roofs typically have a 2-4 week lead time depending on scaffold and material availability.
Will you tidy up properly after the job in Trafford?
Every day on site ends with magnets over the driveway, lead offcuts removed, and a final skip lift before we leave. We don't leave nail mountains in your border.
Do you work on bungalows and dormers in Trafford?
Yes — both are bread-and-butter for us, particularly in M32 where bungalows and dormer extensions are common.
