Dry Ridge Roofing Services in Gloucester
Traditional mortar ridges crack and fall away over time, especially after a few winters of frost and rain, and once that happens ridge tiles can start to lift or slip. Dry ridge systems mechanically fix ridge tiles in place using clips and a dry union rather than relying on mortar, so there's nothing to crack out again. TB Rooflines fits dry ridge as a repair to failing mortar ridges and as an upgrade on re-roofs, and can do the same for dry verge where verge mortar has failed.
What's Included
- Removal of old, cracked mortar ridge
- Fitting of dry ridge union and mechanical fixings
- Re-bedding or replacing ridge tiles as needed
- Dry verge systems where verges are also affected
- Checking and re-securing any loose tiles disturbed during the work
- Clearing away old mortar debris on completion
