Default Rough idea how much to re-point ridge tiles ?

IMHO that's the last thing in the world you want as there will inevitably
be movement between ridge tile and roof. A decent mastic or even perhaps a
lime mortar will be better.


Aha dissent !

Is there a mastic suitable ? I presume you'd need a ****-load to do
the while ridge ?


20% pva in the mortar should prevent cracking.
