New Roof Tiles & Dry Ridge System for House and Shed | Aylesbury
Project Overview
Our team recently completed a roofing project in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, involving the installation of new roof tiles and a modern dry ridge system to both the main house and an adjoining shed. The existing roofs were showing signs of wear, with ageing tiles and traditional mortar ridges that were beginning to fail. The goal was to improve durability, ventilation, and long-term performance while achieving a clean, uniform finish across both structures.
Before
The original roof tiles had become weathered and uneven, and the ridge tiles were bedded in old mortar that was starting to crack and degrade. This left the roof vulnerable to water ingress and ongoing maintenance issues, particularly along the ridge line. The shed roof, while functional, no longer matched the appearance of the main property.
After
The new roof tiles have given both the house and shed a fresh, consistent look, while the dry ridge system provides a secure, mechanically fixed solution that allows for natural ventilation along the roofline. The finished result is a smart, modern appearance with significantly improved weather resistance and reduced maintenance requirements.
Project Breakdown
1. Removal of Existing Ridge & Preparation
The existing ridge tiles and any defective materials were carefully removed. The roof structure and ridge line were inspected to ensure they were suitable for the new system.
2. New Roof Tile Installation
High-quality roof tiles were installed where required, carefully aligned to create a neat, uniform finish that complements the style of the property and surrounding homes.
3. Dry Ridge System Installation
A fully compliant dry ridge system was installed, mechanically fixing the ridge tiles in place. This system improves roof ventilation, increases resistance to wind uplift, and eliminates the need for mortar maintenance.
4. Shed Roof Upgrade
The shed roof was completed to the same standard as the main house, ensuring a consistent appearance and reliable protection across the entire property.
5. Final Inspection & Clean Finish
Once the work was completed, the roof was thoroughly inspected to ensure everything met our quality standards. The site was left clean and tidy, with all roofing elements securely installed.
End Result
This project has delivered a strong, low-maintenance roofing solution for both the house and shed. The combination of new roof tiles and a dry ridge system provides excellent weather protection, improved ventilation, and a clean, modern finish that will perform reliably for many years.
