Dry Verge & Ridge Systems in Norwich & Norfolk

These are modern systems that hold your roof tiles in place mechanically instead of with mortar. Dry ridge secures the tiles along the top of the roof using clamps, screws and a ventilated roll, while dry verge uses interlocking caps to lock down the tiles along the gable edges. Both do away with the mortar that traditionally cracks and fails.

Mortar sits at the most exposed parts of the roof and breaks down over time, leaving tiles loose and needing regular re-bedding. Dry systems hold each tile firmly and mechanically, so they stay secure in high winds, need virtually no maintenance and last far longer, which is why they have become the modern standard.

Very little, which is one of their main attractions. Once a quality dry system is correctly installed, it holds the tiles securely without the ongoing re-bedding that mortar ridges always end up needing. The occasional visual check is all that is usually required.

Yes, and it is a job we carry out often. We remove the old mortar and ridge tiles, fit the dry ridge system with its ventilated roll, and refit the tiles mechanically. It is a straightforward way to upgrade an ageing mortar ridge and be done with the maintenance for good.

It can. Dry ridge systems include a ventilated ridge roll that allows air to escape from the roof space while keeping rain out. That improved airflow helps reduce condensation and protects the roof timbers, so it is a useful benefit on top of the secure fixing.

Yes. Our workmanship is backed by a guarantee, and the quality systems we fit are built for a long life, so you can have full confidence in both the materials and the standard of the installation.
