Roof details organised around the concern you can see

Browse ridge, tile, flashing, valley and metal drainage details from several angles, then open the matching service or send the location of the concern on your roof.

Find the closest roof detail

Start with the visible area, then add the wider roof context

Similar-looking roof details can have different causes. Use these views to describe the material and position you can see, then include safe wide and close photos of your own roof so the next step can be discussed.

Ridge mortar condition from several angles

These close views keep the ridge line, bedding edges and adjoining tiles together so the visible extent can be described before the next step is discussed.

Visible area

Mortar edges beneath ridge caps and the tiles immediately beside the ridge line.

What these photos can help describe

Cracking or separation along the mortar edge
Whether the visible change is isolated or repeated
How the ridge detail meets the surrounding tiles

Useful details to send

Send a safe wider view of the ridge line and note where the concern sits on the roof.

What still needs checking

Photos do not confirm whether the bedding remains sound or how far any movement extends.

What these photos can help describe

The shape of the junction
Visible laps and adjoining materials
Where the detail sits beside a wall or opening

The roof material and overall form
Whether visible change appears local or widespread
