What is a dry ridge system?

A dry ridge system uses mechanical fixings instead of sand and cement mortar to secure ridge tiles. It's more durable, weatherproof, and maintenance-free compared to traditional mortared ridges, which can crack and loosen over time. We recommend dry ridge systems on all new and replacement pitched roofs.

How often should a pitched roof be inspected?

We recommend having your pitched roof professionally inspected at least once a year, ideally in autumn before winter weather sets in. Regular inspections can catch small issues like slipped tiles or damaged mortar before they become costly repairs.

Can you match existing roof tiles?

Yes, we carry a wide range of tiles and can source matching tiles for most roof types. For older or discontinued tile styles, we can also source reclaimed tiles to ensure a seamless match with your existing roof.

Our roofers are skilled in working with all pitched roof coverings, including interlocking concrete tiles, plain tiles, profiled tiles, and natural slate. We also install dry ridge and dry verge systems, which provide a cleaner finish and eliminate the need for mortar that can crack and deteriorate over time.
