Dry Verge in Barnstaple — your questions answered
What is dry verge?
Dry verge is a system of mechanically-fixed caps that finish the gable edge of a tiled roof without mortar. It replaces the old mortar bedding that cracks and falls out over time.
Is dry verge better than mortar?
For most modern tiled roofs it's lower maintenance and more weather-resistant, because there's no mortar to crack and fall away. We confirm it's compatible with your tiles before recommending it.
Will dry verge fix my slipping tiles?
It secures the verge (edge) tiles and stops wind getting under them. It won't fix unrelated problems elsewhere on the roof — we'll always be clear about what it does and doesn't solve.
