Ridge tiles are screwed to a ridge batten over a ventilated roll, and verge caps clip over the edge tiles on the gable end. ### Who it's for Homeowners whose ridge or verge mortar is cracking or falling out, and anyone having a re-roof who wants a lower-maintenance finish. ### When you need it When mortar is loose, missing or cracked, ridge tiles rock in high winds, or gable-end tiles have lifted. ### Why use a professional Ridge tiles sit at the most exposed point of the roof. Fitting a dry system correctly needs the right batten height, fixings and ventilation detailing. Don't leave it ## What happens if it's ignored ### Tiles blown off Loose ridge tiles can be lifted off in high winds and fall dangerously. ### Water ingress Gaps under ridges and verges let rain into the roof space. ### Falling debris Crumbling mortar drops onto paths, cars and gutters. ### Repeat repointing Mortar ridges need re-bedding every few years. ### Common mistakes we see - Re-pointing over old loose mortar. - Fitting cheap, incompatible systems that don't suit the tile profile. - Ignoring loose ridges until a storm takes them off. - Forgetting ventilation when upgrading.

In detail ## Dry Verge & Dry Ridge: materials, methods & options ### How dry ridge works A timber ridge batten is fixed on adjustable brackets, then a ventilated, waterproof roll is laid over it. The ridge tiles are screwed through to the batten and the joints are sealed with union clips. ### How dry verge works Plastic verge caps clip over the end of each course of tiles on the gable, locking them in place and protecting the edge from wind-driven rain. They come in colours to suit most roofs. ### Hips Dry hip systems work in the same way as dry ridge, fixing hip tiles mechanically down the sloping corners of the roof. ### Upgrading vs re-roofing You don't need a new roof to have dry ridge or verge fitted. It can be a standalone upgrade, or included as part of a re-roof. ### Dry Verge & Dry Ridge near you We're based in Grimsby and carry out dry verge & dry ridge across Grimsby, Cleethorpes, Immingham, Scunthorpe, Louth, Hull, Beverley, Doncaster and Goole.
