Common questions Stainesai
Factors include roof size, access difficulty, and whether scaffolding is needed. Material quality can also impact price.
Typically, ridge and hip tiles should be checked every 10-15 years, but repointing may be needed sooner if mortar shows signs of wear.
Repointing itself isn't regulated, but any structural changes must comply with Building Regulations. Additionally, repointing on listed buildings or in conservation areas may require consent. Always confirm with your roofer before work begins.
The process includes inspecting tiles, removing loose mortar, re-bedding tiles, repointing joints, and clearing gutters.
Regular maintenance is recommended to prevent future issues, even if no immediate problems are visible. Always confirm with your tradesperson before work begins.
