    Hi,
    I have a small end terraced house and the ridges need recementing.
    I have bwen quouted £280 to remove cement and repoint.
    Or £420 to fully remove and rebed.
    I thought it should always be rebedding for a proper job, is this right? And what sort of price should it be?and is there anyway to tell that they do a good job?
    Thanks in advance

    If the ridge tiles are secure then I would have thought no need to rebed fully and pointing would suffice. May be best to get another opinion from another roofer.

    One option would be to replace the ridge fixing method using dry system.

    Thanks for your help, he said the same so just having them pointed, got it down to £220 for it not sure if thats a good price. Thanks

    Hard to say, if the tiles are not loose then go with re-pointing, if there is movement then it is likely that the joints between the tiles will crack so the work would not last very long.
