Dry ridge & dry verge systems

Mechanically fixed ridges and verges that replace crumbling mortar, from local repairs to new systems.

9.97/10 on Checkatrade · 5/5 on MyBuilder

A finished tiled roof and ridge completed by LDR Roofing

Traditional ridges and verges are bedded in mortar, which cracks and washes out over time, especially on exposed coastal roofs. Loose ridge tiles are a common cause of leaks and a real hazard in high winds.

Dry ridge and dry verge systems fix the tiles mechanically instead of relying on mortar alone. Wayne can repair existing ridges and verges or fit new dry-fix systems as part of a repair or re-roof.

Is dry ridge better than mortar?

Both can be right depending on the roof. Dry-fix systems need less maintenance and do not crack and wash out like mortar. Wayne will recommend what suits your roof.
