Mechanically fixed dry ridge and dry verge systems that put an end to loose, crumbling mortar for good.
Traditional ridge and verge tiles are bedded on mortar, and over time that mortar cracks, crumbles and washes out. Before long you have loose ridge tiles, gaps that let water in, and pieces coming down in the first proper storm. A dry ridge system fixes each ridge tile in place with screws and clamps instead of mortar, so it stays put through wind and rain year after year.
Our dry ridge and dry verge systems are fully mechanically fixed and BS 5534 compliant, which is the modern British Standard for securing roof tiles. They are storm-proof, they let your roof breathe with built-in ventilation, and they never need repointing. It is a tidy, long-lasting solution we fit on homes right across Surrey and South West London.
Each ridge and verge tile is mechanically fixed with clamps and screws, so it holds firm through the worst Surrey weather.
A dry ridge system lets warm, moist air escape from the roof space, helping to prevent condensation and damp in your loft.
With no mortar bedding to crack or crumble, you get a clean ridge line that stays put and never needs repointing.
