Dry Fix Roofing
Dry fix roofing refers to the mechanical installation of ridge tiles, hip tiles, and verges, using interlocking systems and screws rather than sand and cement mortar. These systems allow for natural movement and ventilation, reducing the risk of cracking, dislodgement and water penetration over time.
Dry fix components are made from robust materials and are designed to integrate seamlessly with most roof coverings, including concrete and clay tiles.
Dry Ridge Systems - Secure, ventilated ridge tile fixing without the use of mortar
Dry Hip Systems - Mechanical fixing of hip tiles for a clean, professional finish
Dry Verge Units - Protection for gable ends, preventing leaks and wind uplift
Full Conversions - Upgrading existing mortar-bedded roofs to dry fix systems
New Installations - Dry fix systems for new build roofing projects
Pitched Roofs
Dry fix roofing systems offer several clear advantages over traditional mortar methods, particularly in terms of performance, reliability, and maintenance:
Maintenance-Free - No crumbling mortar or re-pointing required over time
Complies with Modern Standards- Meets current BS 5534 roofing regulations
Aesthetic Appeal - Provides a sharp, consistent finish that enhances curb appeal
Safe and Secure - Less risk of falling debris compared to old mortar-based systems
Long-Lasting Durability - Mechanical fixing reduces the risk of tile slippage and cracking
Weather Resistance- Built to withstand high winds, driving rain, and temperature changes
Quick, Clean Installation- Fast and tidy installation process with a neat, uniform appearance
Dry Fix For Ridges And Hips | Dry Verge Systems
Dry ridge and hip systems provide a secure, ventilated solution for fixing ridge and hip tiles. These systems typically include continuous dry ridge rolls and mechanical fixings that allow for thermal expansion and structural movement. Unlike traditional mortar, which can crack and deteriorate, dry ridge and hip systems remain secure for decades with no ongoing maintenance required.
Dry verge units are used to cap and protect the exposed edges of a tiled roof, particularly on gable ends. They prevent wind-driven rain, nesting birds, and debris from getting into the roof structure. Available in a variety of colours and styles, they also give a modern, tidy finish to any pitched roof. We install dry verge systems that are compatible with most roof tile types.
