Tile roof restoration, ridge first

1. Roof Health Check

   A free, safe-access inspection with photos. We check tile condition, ridge and hip bedding, pointing, valleys, flashings and any earlier coating, and give you an honest view: repair, restore or replace. For homes built before 1990 we check for asbestos-containing materials before anything is cleaned or coated. You keep the photos either way.

2. Fixed, itemised quote

   What will be done, where, with which products and what is excluded, in writing and line by line, so you can compare it with your online estimate and with anyone else’s quote.

3. Set-up & edge protection

   Drop sheets, an exclusion zone below the work area and roof-edge protection go up before anyone works on the roof. Two-storey homes get scaffold-style edge protection.

4. Clean & treat

   High-pressure clean and mould and lichen treatment, so the new surface bonds to sound tile, not to growth.

5. Repair

   Cracked and broken tiles replaced. Valleys and flashings repaired where selected.

6. Re-bed & re-point the ridge

   Ridge and hip capping is re-bedded where needed and re-pointed with flexible pointing. It’s the part of a tiled roof most often neglected, and it’s where our name comes from.

7. Prime

   A sealer or primer matched to the condition of your tiles. Different surfaces need different primers, and getting this wrong is a common cause of peeling.

8. Two-coat membrane

   Two coats of roof membrane in your chosen colour, applied to the manufacturer’s specification and only on dry tiles with a dry forecast. Premium and Complete get a third coat; a big colour change gets an extra coat.

9. Quality check & handover

   A final walk-through, a photo record of each stage, coating warranty registration in your name where it applies, and a simple roof-care guide.
