Clear advice first
Ridges and verges take the weather first.
Traditional mortar can crack, loosen or fall away as it ages. A correctly specified mechanical dry-fix system secures compatible ridge, hip or verge components while allowing the details to be maintained without relying on exposed mortar alone. We first assess the tiles, battens, roof line and surrounding condition so the proposed work suits the existing roof.
Ridge and verge issues we assess
- ✓Cracked, loose or missing ridge mortar
- ✓Displaced ridge or hip tiles
- ✓Loose or damaged verge tiles
- ✓Failing plastic verge caps
- ✓Repeated mortar repairs at exposed edges
- ✓A re-roof where a mechanical dry-fix detail is planned
A compatible, securely fixed detail
01
Inspect the existing edge
We check the roof line, coverings, battens and adjacent defects before deciding whether local repair or a wider dry-fix system is appropriate.
02
Match the system to the roof
The chosen ridge, hip or verge components need to suit the existing tiles, roof geometry and agreed finish.
03
Install and leave the detail tidy
Components are mechanically secured and the surrounding roof is checked as the work is completed.
