Overview

The ridge is the most exposed line on your roof. When the mortar bedding cracks, ridge tiles rock, let water in and can blow off in a storm. Rebedding in mortar fixes it for a while; a dry ridge fixes the cause.

A dry ridge system uses a ridge batten, a roll-out ventilated seal and screws or clips through every tile. We fit it on new roofs and retro-fit it to existing ridge tiles.

FAQs

Dry ridge FAQs for Northampton

Do you cover Northampton for dry ridge roofing?

Yes. Our team covers Northampton and the surrounding Northamptonshire area, including Great Houghton, Ravenstone, Upper Shelton, Lidlington and Keeley Green. Call 0800 075 2452 to arrange a visit and a written quote.

How long does a dry ridge last?

Dry ridge components are designed for a long service life with no repointing, which is the main reason homeowners switch from mortar.

Can my existing ridge tiles be reused?

In most cases, yes, as long as they are not cracked. Some older ridge profiles need specific components, which we check at survey.

Will a dry ridge stop my ridge tiles blowing off?

Yes. Every tile is mechanically fixed, which is exactly what a mortar-only ridge lacks.

How long does fitting a dry ridge take?

A typical house ridge is completed in a day once access is in place.
