DRY RIDGE AND DRY VERGE IN OSWESTRY
Ridge tiles traditionally bedded in mortar can loosen as the mortar ages. Dry ridge systems use mechanical fixings and roof-appropriate components where conditions allow. If you need this roofing service in Oswestry or the nearby villages, call to discuss the work and access requirements.
Dry ridge installation
A suitable system is installed with mechanically fixed components following the roof-covering and manufacturer requirements.
Verges and associated repairs
Dry verge systems may be suitable at gable ends; existing verge details, undercloak and roof-edge condition should be checked.

COMMON QUESTIONS
DRY RIDGE & VERGES: FAQS
Is dry ridge better than mortar?
Mechanically fixed systems avoid reliance on mortar bedding alone, but suitability and correct installation are essential.
Can my existing ridge tiles be reused?
Sometimes. Reuse depends on the type, condition and compatibility of the tiles and system.
