We carry out ridge and hip repairs in Pembroke Dock and across the SA72 area. The ridge is where the hip bars and glazing bars meet at the top of a lantern, usually under a moulded or pressed end cap.

Is it time for ridge and hip repairs?

  • A cracked or faded ridge end cap
  • Sealant around the ridge cap split or missing
  • Staining along the hip bars inside

What usually causes it?

UV-damaged end caps

Plastic ridge end caps become brittle and crack, especially on south-facing lanterns.

Movement at the junction

Several bars meet at one point and each moves slightly with temperature; the seals at the ridge take the strain.

Covering Pembroke Dock and nearby

Damp, mild winters keep moss and algae growing on flat roofs and lantern frames, which holds water against seals and blocks weep slots. Regular clearing makes a real difference in wetter areas.

Near the coast, salt in the air is hard on aluminium finishes and fixings; washing the frame occasionally and touching in chips keeps corrosion away.

My ridge cap is a different colour from the frame — does that matter?

Faded or chalky caps are a sign of UV damage. Colour alone isn't a leak, but brittle caps crack, so we check them.

Can you replace just the ridge cap?

Yes, if a compatible cap is available and the seals underneath are sound.
