The verge and the ridge are two of the most exposed parts of any roof, and traditionally they have been held in place with mortar. The trouble is that mortar does not last forever. It cracks, crumbles and washes out over the years, which lets water in and leaves ridge and verge tiles loose enough to slip or even blow off in high winds. At Staffordshire Roofing Company, we fit modern dry verge and dry ridge systems across Stafford and the wider county that put an end to all of that.

A dry verge system uses interlocking caps that clip securely over the tiles at the gable end, with no mortar at all. A dry ridge system fixes the ridge tiles mechanically with clamps and screws, along with a ventilated roll that lets the roof breathe. Both give you a far stronger, longer-lasting finish that does not need repointing every few years.

As well as being virtually maintenance-free, mechanically fixed ridge and verge systems are also the standard the industry now works to, replacing mortar-only fixing which is no longer considered good enough on its own. That means a dry system is not just tidier and tougher, it also brings your roof in line with current best practice.

Whether you have ridge tiles working loose, mortar crumbling along the verge, or you simply want a low-maintenance upgrade, we can help. With more than 40 years of experience, we fit dry verge and ridge systems neatly and securely, on both domestic and industrial properties, and back every job with our 20 year guarantee.
