It is the defining line of the whole roofscape. On many traditional buildings, it is the first thing your eye follows from one gable to the other.\n    <\/p>\n    <ul>\n      <li><strong>Visual continuity:<\/strong> The silhouette at the roof apex dominates first impressions, especially from the street.<\/li>\n      <li><strong>Weathering and durability:<\/strong> A compatible ridge profile and fixing method helps resist wind uplift and driving rain at the most exposed part of the roof.<\/li>\n      <li><strong>Planning and heritage sensitivity:<\/strong> Conservation officers often expect like-for-like replacement on period properties, especially at ridge and eaves level.<\/li>\n      <li><strong>Value and finish:<\/strong> Even a good re-roof can look compromised if the ridge is the wrong shape, too new-looking, or sits poorly on the pitch.<\/li>\n    <\/ul>\n    <p>\n      In simple terms, if the ridge works visually and technically, the roof feels settled. If it does not, the whole job can look slightly wrong no matter how good the field tiles are.\n    <\/p>\n  <\/section>\n\n  <section id=\"identify-profile\">\n    <h2>Step 1: Identify the Ridge Profile Properly<\/h2>\n    <p>\n      The quickest way to go wrong is to assume that all old ridge tiles are basically the same. They are not. Even ridges that look similar at first glance can vary in crown height, side profile, angle, jointing and finish.\n    <\/p>\n    <p>\n      Start by taking clear daylight photographs of the existing ridge from the gable end, from the roof plane if possible, and from any visible junctions. Then work through this checklist:\n    <\/p>\n    <ul>\n      <li><strong>Half-round ridge:<\/strong> A classic semicircular profile, common on clay and concrete roofs.<\/li>\n      <li><strong>Angle or V-ridge:<\/strong> Two flat faces meeting at an arris. These often come in set angles such as 90\u00b0, 105\u00b0 or 125\u00b0.<\/li>\n      <li><strong>Hog\u2019s back ridge:<\/strong> Fuller and more arched than a true half-round, with a slightly heavier crown.<\/li>\n      <li><strong>Segmental or third-round ridge:<\/strong> Lower curvature and a flatter appearance than a half-round unit.<\/li>\n      <li><strong>Crested ridge:<\/strong> Decorative cresting, fleur-de-lys, balls or ornamental features. These must be matched carefully if authenticity matters.<\/li>\n      <li><strong>Bonneted fittings:<\/strong> Used at hips, junctions or transitions. Make sure you do not confuse a hip piece with a true ridge tile.<\/li>\n    <\/ul>\n    <p>\n      Also note whether the original ridge appears to be:\n    <\/p>\n    <ul>\n      <li><strong>Butt jointed<\/strong> or formed with a more obvious overlap<\/li>\n      <li><strong>Drilled or fixed mechanically<\/strong> through holes or straps<\/li>\n      <li><strong>Traditionally mortared<\/strong> with torched joints<\/li>\n      <li><strong>Part of a later dry ridge installation<\/strong> using unions, plates or visible fixings<\/li>\n    <\/ul>\n    <p>\n      The more accurately you identify the starting point, the easier it is to find either a close reclaimed match or a sympathetic new alternative.\n    <\/p>\n  <\/section>\n\n  <section id=\"angle-pitch\">\n    <h2>Step 2: Confirm Roof Pitch and Ridge Angle<\/h2>\n    <p>\n      On angled ridges, the pitch really matters. A ridge designed for one angle can sit awkwardly, rock on the bed, or leave visible gaps if the roof needs another.\n    <\/p>\n    <ol>\n      <li><strong>Measure the pitch of each roof slope<\/strong> meeting at the apex. A digital level or clinometer app is usually enough.<\/li>\n      <li><strong>Check whether the ridge angle is marked<\/strong> on the tile itself. Some are stamped or moulded, although many older reclaimed units are not.<\/li>\n      <li><strong>Use a bevel gauge or cardboard template<\/strong> if the angle is unknown and you need to compare potential replacements.<\/li>\n      <li><strong>Trial fit a sample<\/strong> before committing to quantity, especially where reclaimed pieces vary slightly within a batch.<\/li>\n    <\/ol>\n    <p>\n      Half-round and hog\u2019s back ridges are more forgiving visually, but the relationship between crown height, shoulder width and roof pitch still matters. A ridge can technically fit yet still look wrong if it sits too proud or too flat.\n    <\/p>\n  <\/section>\n\n  <section id=\"material-colour\">\n    <h2>Step 3: Match Material, Colour and Patina<\/h2>\n    <p>\n      Matching reclaimed ridge tiles is not just about shape. The material and surface finish are just as important. On older roofs, the ridge has often weathered differently from the field tiles, so colour matching needs a bit of judgement rather than a simple red-to-red comparison.\n    <\/p>\n    <ul>\n      <li><strong>Clay vs concrete:<\/strong> Clay usually carries warmer reds, oranges and firing variation. Concrete tends to weather more uniformly, often with a softer, chalkier aged surface.<\/li>\n      <li><strong>Patina:<\/strong> Lichen, soot, moss traces and exposure staining can vary from elevation to elevation.<\/li>\n      <li><strong>Surface texture:<\/strong> Some old units are smoother, some coarser, some lightly sanded and some more sharply moulded.<\/li>\n      <li><strong>Glazed or engobed finishes:<\/strong> Less common, but important to spot if present because the sheen can be very noticeable.<\/li>\n    <\/ul>\n    <p>\n      If the ridge run is prominent, order a little extra so you can select the best pieces for the most visible areas and reserve slightly less exact matches for less prominent lengths.\n    <\/p>\n    <p>\n      Blending matters here just as much as it does with reclaimed field tiles. Open more than one stack if possible and judge the run from normal viewing distance rather than only from the scaffold.\n    <\/p>\n  <\/section>\n\n  <section id=\"ventilation\">\n    <h2>Ventilation at the Ridge Level<\/h2>\n    <p>\n      Many older roofs were not designed around modern moisture loads. Add insulation, bathrooms, utility rooms and tighter internal envelopes, and the ridge area can become one of the places where trapped moisture needs a route out.\n    <\/p>\n    <p>\n      If you are keeping a traditional mortar-bedded ridge and want to preserve a heritage appearance, you may need to introduce airflow more discreetly elsewhere:\n    <\/p>\n    <ul>\n      <li><strong>Discreet tile vents or pepper pots:<\/strong> Use <a href=\"https:\/\/shop.thereclaimedcompany.co.uk\/home\/roofing-supplies\/pepper-pot-inserts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pepper Pot Inserts<\/a> to improve airflow without interrupting the traditional ridge line.<\/li>\n      <li><strong>Dry ridge systems:<\/strong> Some provide integral ventilation while still allowing a sympathetic finish, depending on the profile and project.<\/li>\n      <li><strong>Whole-roof planning:<\/strong> Ridge ventilation only works properly if the rest of the airflow path makes sense from eaves to high level.<\/li>\n    <\/ul>\n    <p>\n      If you are upgrading the roof as a whole, it makes sense to source the rest of the system alongside the ridge detail through \n      <a href=\"https:\/\/shop.thereclaimedcompany.co.uk\/home\/roofing-supplies\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Roofing Supplies<\/a>.\n    <\/p>\n  <\/section>\n\n  <section id=\"dry-vs-mortar\">\n    <h2>Dry Ridge vs Mortar Bedding<\/h2>\n    <p>\n      One of the biggest practical decisions is whether the ridge should be bedded traditionally in mortar or fixed as part of a dry ridge system. Both approaches can work, but they suit different projects.\n    <\/p>\n\n    <h3>Mortar Bedding (Traditional Appearance)<\/h3>\n    <ul>\n      <li>Usually the most visually authentic choice on period roofs.<\/li>\n      <li>Should still include a proper mechanical restraint strategy. Mortar is not the only fixing.<\/li>\n      <li>Joint width, bedding depth and finish need to be consistent or the ridge line will look untidy.<\/li>\n      <li>On heritage work, a more flexible lime-based approach may be appropriate depending on the roof and specification.<\/li>\n    <\/ul>\n\n    <h3>Dry Ridge (Modern Performance)<\/h3>\n    <ul>\n      <li>Provides predictable mechanical restraint and often integrated ventilation.<\/li>\n      <li>Can be very effective on exposed sites or where consistent performance is the priority.<\/li>\n      <li>Must be compatible with the reclaimed ridge profile. Not every old ridge suits every dry system.<\/li>\n      <li>Fixings should normally be stainless and tightened evenly to avoid cracking old clay units.<\/li>\n    <\/ul>\n\n    <p>\n      The right answer depends on the building, the exposure, the planning context and the desired appearance. The key is not to force a reclaimed ridge into a fixing method that does not suit it.\n    <\/p>\n  <\/section>\n\n  <section id=\"quantities\">\n    <h2>How Many Reclaimed Ridge Tiles to Order<\/h2>\n    <p>\n      Ridge quantities are usually straightforward once you stop treating them as a guess. Work methodically:\n    <\/p>\n    <ol>\n      <li><strong>Measure the total ridge length<\/strong> in linear metres, including junctions if they are part of the same run.<\/li>\n      <li><strong>Check the actual unit length<\/strong> of the ridge tile. Many are around 450mm, but older and reclaimed units vary.<\/li>\n      <li><strong>Calculate the effective cover<\/strong> once jointing or overlap is considered.<\/li>\n      <li><strong>Add 5\u201310%<\/strong> for selection, end cuts and breakages.<\/li>\n      <li><strong>Increase the allowance slightly<\/strong> for crested, decorative or less uniform reclaimed batches.<\/li>\n    <\/ol>\n    <p>\n      Do not forget specials such as:\n    <\/p>\n    <ul>\n      <li>end caps or stop ends<\/li>\n      <li>T-junctions<\/li>\n      <li>hip intersections<\/li>\n      <li>decorative finials or crest endings<\/li>\n    <\/ul>\n    <p>\n      If the originals relied on special fittings that are now hard to source, sympathetic replacements can often be found through \n      <a href=\"https:\/\/shop.thereclaimedcompany.co.uk\/home\/new-roofing-materials\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">New Roofing Materials<\/a>.\n    <\/p>\n  <\/section>\n\n  <section id=\"accessories\">\n    <h2>Accessories and Ancillaries That Complete the Ridge Detail<\/h2>\n    <p>\n      A ridge is only as good as the system around it.
