Estimated cost of removing loose mortar

Question

What is an estimated cost of removing loose mortar from approx 34 ridge tiles and cover rear face only with 3:1 mix? (approx work time?)

Richard · Accepted Answer

Can take all off and replace with dry ridge system much better finish £700

Harrison · Answer

The work you require costs roughly around £250 pound because it would take two people in my opinion without scaffolding, using a hook ladder would be the cheapest way. The breakdown of the work is:
Roofer £160
Labouerer £80
Sand and cement £10

Philip · Answer

It depends on the size of the property for scaffolding,
And weather the ridges need replacing if any are broken or break,
On top of two mans day rate for 1 day

Ian · Answer

1 day 
Total cost £240 includes materials & labour

Dene · Answer

There’s actually a couple of answers,
Firstly
It’s enough to be classed as a short days work so up to £200 plus a mate to pass bucket of mortar if needed, the mortar cost is minimal,
But,
This job is v frowned upon nowadays by professionals as it’s a far better job to remove the lot and renew the mortar bed properly and guarantee the job,
Or remove the lot and fix back on a dry ridge system,
I actually saw a couple guys ‘buttering up some hips’ last week they charged the elderly couple £500 for a couple hours.
Ouch

Aaron · Answer

Roughly a days work 
Sounds like need scaffolding which price of that  depends on size of it. Normally looking around 500-1200 for the labour materials ridges and scaffold.

Jay · Answer

To scrape out all the old mortar and provide all the materials to repoint the ridge tiles , I’d say around the 1000 mark no more no less.
