A dry ridge system fixes every ridge tile mechanically onto a ridge batten with a breathable roll-out seal, instead of mortar. It stops loose and slipping ridge tiles for good. DG Roofing Services fits Manthorpe dry ridge only, and can usually reuse your existing ridge tiles.
Dry Ridge System in Darlington & the North East
The ridge tiles along the top of your roof are traditionally bedded in mortar. Over the years that mortar cracks, washes out and lets go — and loose ridge tiles are one of the most common things we find after a storm. A slipped ridge tile lets water straight into the roof and can be dangerous if it falls.
A dry ridge system does away with mortar altogether. Each ridge tile is screwed or clipped down onto a fixed ridge batten, with a breathable roll-out seal underneath to keep the weather out while letting the roof space breathe. Hips can be done the same way.
We only fit Manthorpe dry ridge — the leading UK brand — so the job is done once and done properly.
