17 Feb Thatched Roof Ridges Expert Re-Ridging Services You Can Trust

Ridges are a vital component of any thatched roof. Not only do they play a key role in maintaining the structural integrity of the roof, but they also enhance its overall appearance. Due to their exposed position at the highest point of the roof, ridges endure the harshest weather conditions and naturally wear faster than the rest of the thatch.

At [Your Company Name], our experienced roof thatchers provide professional thatched re-ridging services at competitive prices, helping to protect and preserve your thatched property.

Why Are Thatched Roof Ridges So Important?

The ridge sits at the peak of the roof and acts as a protective seal, keeping the thatch secure and weather-resistant. A well-maintained ridge helps prevent water ingress, wind damage and premature wear to the surrounding thatch.

Key functions of a thatched ridge include:

• Maintaining the roof’s structural stability
• Protecting the underlying thatch from moisture
• Enhancing the roof’s visual appeal
• Extending the lifespan of the overall roof

Without timely maintenance, a worn ridge can compromise the performance of the entire thatched roof.

When Does a Ridge Need Re-Ridging?

Due to constant exposure to wind, rain, frost and sunlight, thatched roof ridges typically require replacement every 8–12 years. Over time, the ridge material becomes compacted, cracked or weathered, reducing its effectiveness.

Common signs your ridge may need re-ridging include:

• Thinning or worn ridge material
• Cracking or splitting along the ridge line
• Loose or uneven fixings
• Visible moss or water retention
• Deterioration affecting the roof’s appearance

Early re-ridging helps prevent more costly repairs later.
