We also fit the latest Dry Verge systems, suitable for weather-proofing almost all types of tiled and slated roof edges. Many tiled roofs have a cement infill on the edges of the roof above the bargeboards. This tiled edge cracks and perishes causing the cement to drop out and the edge to become insecure in high winds. Our Dry Verge systems eliminate the need for maintenance and provide a permanent and secure edge to your roof. It looks much better, requires no maintenance and will hold your tiles in place even in severe weather. We also have Dry Verge systems suitable for slated and small-tile roofs called Smartverge.

• Before fitting Dry Verge we always remove all the existing perished cement from the tiled edge as this only serves to retain moisture causing the tile battens to deteriorate. This has the added bonus of improving ventilation in your loft space and reducing any risk of condensation.
• We trim the tiles to give the precise overhang specified by the Dry Verge unit manufacturer.
• We then check the condition of the existing tile battens and roofing felt and repair as necessary.
• Next we install an additional longitudinal tanalised timber batten for extra strength and security.
• Finally after all the above thorough preparation we securely fix the Dry Verge units into place.

In addition we can maintain your RIDGE TILES in 3 ways:

• By the traditional method of removal, cleaning, rebedding and repointing your existing clay ridge tiles. However this will always require periodic renewal as in time the weather will loosen the ridge tiles requiring the process to be repeated every few years.
• By the more secure method of a roll-out dry ridge system which retains your existing clay tiles but secures them to the ridge beam of your roof with proprietory fixings and clamping plates
• By the permanent method of completely removing your existing clay ridge tiles and replacing them with Smartridge PVCu ridge tiles screwed directly into the ridge beam of your roof. Not only does this eliminate the need for any further maintenance it also improves the ventilation in your loft space reducing the risk of condensation. Smartridge is suitable for hipped roofs as well as the main ridge at the apex.
