DRY VERGE SYSTEMS
Dry Verge Systems
Dry verge systems provide a mechanical method of securing verge tiles at the roof edge, reducing reliance on mortar. Over time, traditional mortar can crack or dislodge, leading to gaps that may allow wind and rain penetration. After inspecting your roof verge, we will outline suitable options for repair or replacement.
Services we provide (subject to survey):
-
Installation of new dry verge systems – Fitting purpose-made verge units to secure tiles and help protect against weather ingress.
-
Replacement of existing dry verge systems – Removing defective or incomplete systems and installing new verge units in line with manufacturer specifications.
-
Repairs and adjustments – Replacing damaged verge caps or clips and ensuring all verge units are secure and correctly aligned.
Dry verge products are available in various colours and finishes to suit your property. Where applicable, manufacturer-backed warranties will be confirmed in writing before installation.
The majority of older houses with gable roofs have wet verge roofing. The wall above the area where two verges in a roof meet is called the gable end, and the verge means the outer ends of your roof above the gable end. Mortar was used traditionally to fix these areas of the roof. The benefits of using mortar included preventing water ingress and potential pests (such as birds) from nesting in your roof. Roofs, which use mortar to fix the edges, are called “wet verge” roofs.
Service benefits
The dry verge systems prevent weather ingress and mortar degradation at the roof edge. This system is suitable for use on new builds and refurbishments at any roof pitch.
