Dry Verge Systems

Dry Verge Systems — protect your roof edges, lose the mortar

The verge — the edge of your roof at the gable end — is hugely exposed to wind. Mortar bedding here cracks, drops onto the path below and leaves tiles vulnerable to being lifted. Dry verge caps clip and screw over each tile end for a neat, secure, maintenance-free edge.

FAQ

Dry Verge Systems — your questions answered

Straight answers to the questions homeowners ask us most.

What is a dry verge?+
Dry verge caps are units that fit over the tile ends at the gable edge of your roof and are mechanically fixed, instead of bedding those edges in mortar. They give a secure, weatherproof, low-maintenance finish.
Why replace mortar verges?+
Mortar at the verge is very exposed and cracks easily, dropping debris and leaving tiles loose. Dry verge caps don’t crack or wash out, so they protect the edge far longer.
Will dry verge stop birds getting in?+
Yes — the caps close off the gaps at the roof edge that birds and insects often use to get into the loft space.
Can dry verge be fitted to my existing roof?+
In most cases, yes. We can remove the old mortar and fit a dry verge system to your current roof, or include it on a new roof.
