Mechanically Fixed Ridges & Verges
Ridge tiles and verges have traditionally been bedded in mortar, and mortar does not last on an exposed roof. It cracks as the roof moves, washes out in the rain and leaves ridge tiles rocking in the wind. A dry ridge and dry verge system does the same job without relying on mortar at all.
Each ridge tile is screwed or clipped to a continuous ridge batten over a ventilated roll, and the verge edges are finished with interlocking caps fixed to the battens. Every piece is held mechanically, so the ridge stays put in high winds and air can move out along the top of the roof.
It is fitted as standard on new roofs, and it can be fitted to an existing roof where the mortar has failed, without re-roofing. You get a FREE, no-obligation quotation and straight advice on whether your ridge needs re-bedding or a dry system.
- No Mortar to Crack
- Holds in High Winds
- Ventilates the Ridge
- Little Upkeep Needed
Signs Your Ridge Needs a Dry Fix
Crumbling Ridge Mortar
Mortar falling from under the ridge tiles onto the drive or the garden means the bedding has broken down.
Rocking Ridge Tiles
Ridge tiles that move or lift in the wind are no longer bonded to the roof and can come down in a storm.
Gaps at the Verge
Open joints along the gable edge let wind-driven rain and birds in under the tiles at the side of the roof.
Repointing Again
A ridge or verge that needs repointing every few years is a good candidate for a mortar-free dry fix system.

What Affects the Cost of a Dry Ridge
Every roof is different, so the price is worked out once the roof has been looked at rather than guessed over the phone. These are the things that move it.
FREE, No-Obligation Quotations
Every roof is looked at before it is priced, so the figure you get is the figure for your job. Your quotation costs nothing and commits you to nothing.
Length of Ridge & Verge
The total run of ridge, hips and gable verges sets how many parts are needed and how long fitting takes.
New or Existing Roof
Fitting to an existing roof means lifting and cleaning the old ridge first, which adds labour to the job.
Ridge Tiles to Replace
Cracked or broken ridge tiles found when they are lifted are replaced with matching ones before refixing.
Access to the Ridge
Some ridges can be reached with roof ladders, while others need a tower or scaffold for safe working.
