MAINTENANCE FREE RIDGE AND VERGE

Dry ridge and dry verge systems offer several key benefits over traditional mortar methods.

They require minimal maintenance because there is no mortar to crack, crumble, or fail over time. Ridge and verge tiles are mechanically fixed, making them far more resistant to wind uplift and severe weather. This improves overall roof safety and reduces the risk of tiles becoming loose.

Dry systems also provide built-in ventilation, helping to reduce condensation in the roof space and protect timbers, which can extend the roof’s lifespan.

Installation is faster and cleaner, as it does not rely on wet mortar and can be fitted in most weather conditions.

In addition, dry ridge and verge systems comply with modern UK Building Regulations (BS 5534), making them ideal for new builds and re-roofing projects. Aesthetically, they maintain a neat, consistent appearance without staining or cracking, ensuring the roof looks good for years with less upkeep.

Dry ridge

A “Dry Ridge System” is a mechanically installed system which fixes in to the top of your roof and covers the top row of tiles. It completely eradicates the need for cement and it only needs to be installed ONCE and will last you over 40 years. The design is beautifully stylish and gives your home a more modern appeal. These are the benefits of having a dry system installed:

Quick and easy installation
Huge labour saving costs
Dramatically increases roof lifespan
Leaves a maintenance free finish
Stops water penetration
Stops wind uplift
Permanently secures ridges on roof.
Protects the most vulnerable parts of the roof.
Allows natural movement of the roof

Dry Verge

A "Dry Verge System" is a maintenance free, mechanically fixed system which attaches to the side of your roof (otherwise known as the gable end).

Having this system installed eliminates some of the most common problems which are found in and around your roof space. Such as;

Maintenance free, mechanically fixed into timber. No more cement falling out of the ends
Birds unable to nest in your soffit/loft during the spring
Prevents driven winds and driven rain damaging the edge tiles
Cosmetically pleasing and modern kerb appeal
