Dry Ridge System Installation

​

Upgrade your ridges to a mechanically-fixed, ventilated, low-maintenance system. Dry ridge replaces cracked mortar with permanent fixings that stay secure in high winds and provide continuous high-level ventilation—finished neat and uniform across the whole roof line.

​

Why choose a dry ridge?

​

• Storm-secure: Mechanically fixed (not reliant on mortar) for long-term stability

• Low maintenance: No cracking, no re-pointing, no loose ridge tiles

• Built-in ventilation: Continuous high-level airflow helps reduce loft condensation

• Clean finish: Consistent, modern ridge line that complements new and existing roofs

• Regulation-friendly: Installed to current best practice for mechanically fixed roof coverings

​

What we install

​

• Breathable ridge roll bonded to the ridge line for weatherproof ventilation

• Ridge unions & clamps for uniform spacing and secure joints

• Stainless/galvanised fixings with non-corrosive clips

• Support brackets/battens at the ridge where required

• lead dots on mitre and end ridges

• New Hip Irons

• Mitres and end ridge bedded in mortar mix or roof putty dependent on customer preference

• Compatible ridge tiles for concrete, clay, plain-tile and slate roofs

Our process

​

1. Survey & advice – confirm compatibility, assess weather new ridges will be installed or old ones used with a new system

2. Strip & prep – remove old mortar where required, install supports

3. Fit dry ridge – ridge roll, unions, clamps and fixings set to spec

4. Finish & tidy – neat alignment, final checks, waste removed

5. Handover – photos and 12-year workmanship guarantee when installed with new roof
