    Hi guys,
    What screws would be best to fix mono ridge tiles directly to the bricks? The tiles were fitted using morter, but I want to further secure them, just to be on the safe side.
    Many thanks.

    Are there holes in the ridge tiles for screws?

    Our hosts sell a range of self tapping concrete screws that may be worth checking out.

    Or 6mm masonry drill bit, red plugs and 45x40 screw.

    What you need to be careful with is how much brick you have there to secure to. Top brick, not much stopping it being dislodged when fixing to? Too high-splitting/popping out?

    If they are not loose I would leave them as they are.

    Couple of lines of Stixall if not screwing?

    Most ridge tiles are help by motar only and rarely come off I wouldn't stress about it at all
    If you really want to fix then use a wooden batten and screws to the tiles then secure the batten with holed strapping and screws and plugs into the maisorarry lower down than the top couple of courses

    The mono ridge tiles are already fitted, the o/p was asking for a suitable screw to further secure them to the bricks/masonry. He obviously is unable at this stage to fit a timber batten.

    I think that is what Astra said at the start of this post.
