About Dry Roofing

Although we carry out mortar based verge and ridge repairs, the alternative is to have dry roofing installed. Thanks to modern innovation and technology the dry roofing systems offer much more stability. Keeping inline with building regulations they are the way forward.

Two types of dry roofing systems are: Dry Verge and Dry Ridge.

New builds have the dry roofing installed and older properties can be upgraded.

New dry roof installations are much more cost effective and offer many more benefits.

Dry Roofing Systems


Have your roof verges upgraded to the new innovative dry verge roofing system.

Dry Verge is more appealing, more cost effective, durable and very little maintenance is required, which cuts down on the costs immensely. Whereas the mortar based verges do require much more maintenance and more costs are incurred.  With dry verge the traditional 'wet mortar' will no longer be required.

Birds take advantage of the mortar based verges and as the weather erodes the mortar, birds use the areas for nesting, enlarging the space which also allows for water to penetrate and cause problems as well as other insects getting into the roofline/loft space. Dry Verge helps avoid damp problems and insect infestations as well as preventing birds from taking up residence. .

Fitted by our experienced team, dry verge will last for many years to come.

With dry verge there are also choices in colour, style and design to suit your preferences.

Dry verge offers greater protection, is tough, waterproof, longer lasting, is able to withstand our changeable weather conditions and virtually maintenance free.

Renown for being unreliable, the mortar based fixings of the ridge tiles will eventually crack and crumble, this in turn will make the ridge tiles unstable. The ridge tiles may move or fall from their sited positions. We still carry out mortar based repairs.

For new properties, dry ridge systems became a building requirement for new roofs since the introduction of BS 5534. Older properties can be upgraded to the new dry roofing systems. This is worth thinking about as there are savings to be made by having the dry ridge systems installed. There are also many more advantages having dry ridge systems installed.

We remove the mortar and clean the area before installing the dry ridge system. Waterproof unions are installed under the ridge tiles to allow for the rain water to run off the roof (and into the gutter system). Dry ridge systems also allow for a breathable and ventilation space, which helps combat any build up of condensation.

Dry ridge systems are mechanically held into place and so are far more secure.

With extremely low maintenance costs, more secure, durable and weatherproof systems, dry ridge systems are beneficial and when fitted by experts should ensure your home is well protected from the elements and will last for many years to come.
