Dry Verge System Installation

​

Upgrade crumbling, high-maintenance mortar verges to a mechanically-fixed dry verge system. Dry verge gives you a secure, weather-tight, neat edge to the roof with no repointing— installed to comply with modern standards and compatible with most interlocking tile roofs

.

Why choose a dry verge?

​

• Storm-secure: Mechanical fixings resist wind uplift better than mortar

• Low maintenance: No cracking, no ongoing repointing

• Weather-tight edges: Helps stop wind-driven rain at gable ends

• Keeps pests out: Closes gaps that attract birds and wasps

• Smart, consistent finish: Clean lines that match a dry ridge upgrade

• Modern standards: Installed to meet current mechanical-fixing guidance (BS 5534)

​

What we install 

​

• Eaves/starter units for a tidy, sealed first course

• Dry verge caps/units up each gable for full coverage

• Batten end clips & fixings (stainless/galvanised) at correct centres

• Verge closures & end caps for a clean termination at the ridge

• Compatible options for concrete/clay interlocking tiles; solutions available for plain tiles/slate—we’ll specify the right kit for your roof
