The challenge
The existing ridge and hip system needed replacing, requiring the old materials and mortar to be removed before the new system could be installed.
The roof also needed preparation and repairs to ensure the new installation provided a secure, weather-resistant finish.
The solution
KSE removed the existing ridge and hip system, cleared away the old mortar and prepared the roof for the new installation.
New battens and a waterproof membrane were fitted before the team installed the new dry ridge and hip system. Several broken roof tiles were also replaced as part of the works.
Installation & finishing
Both flexible anchor line systems were installed around the existing roof layout, with the positioning carefully considered to provide effective fall restraint across the working areas.
Following installation, the systems were checked and tested to ensure they were secure and ready for use.
The result
The roof was carefully prepared before the new materials were installed, with each stage completed to ensure the ridge and hip system was properly fitted.
The team also replaced the damaged tiles, completing the refurbishment and leaving the roof in excellent condition.
