Upgrade the fixing of your roof's exposed edges
Loose mortar at exposed edges or along the top tiles needs attention. Weather and movement can weaken traditional bedding. A compatible dry-fix upgrade uses purpose-made fittings to secure these areas, reducing the need for repeat mortar repairs.
We check the roof profile and battens before choosing verge, ridge or hip fittings. Mechanical fastenings secure the components, with airflow provided where the design requires it. This work can form part of a replacement roof or improve selected areas of an existing covering. We explain the products, fitting requirements and warranty terms.

Common questions
Dry Fix System FAQs
Why consider dry fix?
These systems secure tiles with mechanical fastenings instead of a mortar bed. They remove the need to repoint the fitted detail, although checks still matter. We assess the roof to confirm which products will suit its design.
Would an older covering accept these fittings?
Often yes, if its tiles and supports are suitable. We check compatibility and the fixing points, then explain any repairs needed to create a sound base for installation.
Where are warranty details recorded?
The quotation identifies the chosen system and available cover. Terms and duration vary by product, so you can check the actual protection offered before deciding to proceed with the work.
Does the design provide airflow?
Some ridge products include ventilation at the highest roof junction. We consider existing air paths too; not every dry-fix component is intended to ventilate a loft.
Must I replace the whole covering?
Not necessarily. Where the surrounding roof remains sound, individual edges or junctions can often be upgraded. Inspection establishes which areas need work and how the supports should be prepared.
