Dry ridge systems are a modern, secure, and low-maintenance alternative to traditional sand and mortar ridge tile installations. At Vale Roofing 24/7, we install high-quality dry ridge systems across the Forest of Dean, helping homeowners upgrade their roofs with a cleaner, longer-lasting finish. These systems are mechanically fixed, meaning they won’t crack or crumble like old mortar-based methods.
Unlike traditional ridge setups, dry ridge systems allow for the natural expansion and contraction of roofing materials as temperatures change. This flexibility makes them much more resistant to wind damage and water ingress, giving your roof greater protection all year round. They also provide continuous ventilation along the ridge line, which helps prevent condensation and mould build-up in the loft space.
These systems are particularly popular with homeowners who want a fit-and-forget solution. Once installed, dry ridge systems require virtually no maintenance – no re-pointing, no cracking, and no worrying about ridge tiles becoming dislodged during storms. It’s a cost-effective upgrade that adds real value to your property.
If your existing ridge tiles are loose, worn or failing, Vale Roofing 24/7 can replace them quickly and professionally with a dry ridge system. We’ll assess the condition of your roof and provide a solution that enhances both performance and appearance, ensuring peace of mind for years to come.
Dry verge systems are designed to protect the exposed edges of your roof where tiles meet the gable end. Traditional mortar verges are prone to cracking and weather damage over time, which can lead to loose tiles, water ingress, and pest problems. At Vale Roofing 24/7, we install robust, low-maintenance uPVC dry verge systems across the Forest of Dean – keeping homes secure and looking their best.
Modern dry verge systems mechanically cap and seal the edge of your roof tiles, offering strong resistance to wind uplift and rain. They create a neat, uniform appearance and are available in a range of colours to match your roofline and blend with your home’s exterior. With proper installation, they eliminate the need for constant upkeep and repairs associated with traditional verge cementing.
These systems are especially popular with homeowners looking to reduce long-term maintenance costs and improve their property’s kerb appeal. Unlike mortar, uPVC won’t crack or dislodge over time and is highly resistant to both UV damage and frost.
Whether you’re replacing damaged mortar verges or upgrading as part of a larger roofing project, Vale Roofing 24/7 can supply and install a tailored dry verge solution. Our skilled team ensures every fitting is carried out to the highest standard, protecting your roofline and enhancing your home’s overall durability.
