Dislodged ridge tiles

Recommended Posts

I had a new roof installed 12 months ago. The bottom ridge tiles keep dislodging (see photo). The roofing company have been out twice to re attach them but they have dislodged again. Despite several promises to come and fix again over the last 6 weeks they haven't been. Could I fix this myself? Why do they keep dislodging?

Here is what a hip iron looks like

And this is where it goes, you attach it to the roof structure before the last two hip tiles go on.

The bit that sticks up stops the hip tiles sliding down.

 

Tell your roofer to trundle down to toolstation and buy them,   https://www.toolstation.com/scroll-hip-iron/p33398

 

Read the Ladybird book of how to tile a hip, then come back and do the job properly.
