A dry verge system replaces the crumbling mortar along your gable ends with interlocking units that clip over the end tiles and are screwed to the battens. DG Roofing Services fits Manthorpe dry verge only, usually to your existing roof without re-roofing, across Darlington, Teesside and County Durham.
Dry Verge System in Darlington & the North East
The verge is the sloping edge of your roof at the gable end. On most older houses the tiles along this edge are held in place by a strip of sand and cement mortar — and that mortar is one of the first parts of a roof to fail. If you've found chunks of mortar on the drive or in the garden, or can see gaps under the end tiles, your verge is breaking down.
A dry verge system replaces that mortar with interlocking units that clip over the end of each row of tiles and are mechanically fixed to the battens. No mortar to crack, no repointing every few years, and the tiles are held firmly in high winds.
Dry verge is one of the jobs we do most. We only fit Manthorpe — the leading UK brand — because cheap, unbranded verge caps can turn brittle in the sun and come loose in storms.
