Ridge tiles that stay put, whatever the wind off the sea does.

Traditional ridge tiles sit on a bed of mortar. Over the years that mortar cracks and washes out, the tiles start to rock, and in a Fylde coast gale they come off altogether. A dry ridge system fixes every ridge and hip tile mechanically with clips and screws over a ventilated roll, so there is no mortar to fail and the roof space can breathe.

We fit dry ridge on new roofs as standard and retro-fit it on existing roofs where the ridge has failed. On one street we installed 65 new dry ridge units in a day, right across the road from a full re-roof we were already running.

A dry ridge is one of the best value upgrades you can make to a tiled roof. It ends the cycle of re-bedding ridge tiles every few years.

Our method

How we fit a dry ridge system

  1. Lift the old ridge. Old ridge tiles are lifted carefully and the old mortar is cleared away.
  2. Fix the ridge batten. A ridge batten is fixed along the apex to take the new fixings.
  3. Lay the ridge roll. A ventilated ridge roll is laid and sealed to the tiles on both slopes.
  4. Fix every tile. Each ridge and hip tile is clipped and screwed down, with no mortar to crack.
  5. Check and clear up. Every fixing is checked from end to end and the site is left clean.

Before you book

Straight answers about your roof

What is a dry ridge system?
A way of fixing ridge and hip tiles with clips, screws and a ventilated roll instead of mortar, so nothing can crack or wash out.
Can you fit dry ridge to my existing roof?
Yes. We lift the old ridge, clear the mortar and fit the dry system, reusing sound ridge tiles where possible.
Does a dry ridge help ventilation?
Yes. The ridge roll lets the roof space breathe, which helps keep condensation down.
How long does it take?
Most houses take a day. We installed 65 dry ridge units on one job in a single day.
