Dry Ridge & Dry Verge Systems in Edinburgh — Expert Local Roofers
Traditional mortar-bedded ridge tiles and verge bedding are a constant maintenance issue on many Scottish homes — the mortar cracks, falls away and allows water and birds to get in. Modern dry ridge and dry verge systems eliminate these problems permanently. They use mechanical fixings rather than mortar, providing a secure, ventilated and maintenance-free solution that outperforms traditional mortar bedding.

Frequently Asked Questions — Dry Ridge & Verge in Edinburgh
Should I replace mortar ridge bedding with dry ridge?
If your mortar ridge bedding has failed or is cracking, switching to a dry ridge system is strongly recommended. It will outlast re-bedding with mortar and will not need replacing again.
Can dry verge be fitted to an existing roof?
Yes. Dry verge systems can usually be retrofitted to existing tiled roofs without disturbing the rest of the roof covering.
