Overview

Dry fix roofing that ends mortar repairs

Traditional roofs hold ridge, hip and verge tiles in place with sand and cement mortar. Over time the mortar cracks and washes out, tiles loosen, and in high winds they can come off entirely. Dry fix systems screw or clip every tile in place instead.

We install dry ridge, dry hip and dry verge systems on new roofs and retro-fit them to existing roofs where the mortar has failed. Mechanical fixing is what the current British Standard for slating and tiling, BS 5534, calls for on ridge and hip tiles.

FAQs

Dry fix roofing FAQs

Is dry fix better than mortar?

For durability and upkeep, yes. Each tile is mechanically fixed, so there is no mortar to crack and wash out, and the system allows for roof movement.
