Whether repairing recent storm damage or proactively upgrading an ageing roof, our service guarantees peace of mind.
Why Choose Us?
How Our Dry Ridge Installation Works
The transition from a traditional mortar ridge to a modern dry fix system is a seamless process when handled by our Medway roofing specialists. We manage the entire project from start to finish, ensuring your property is fully protected.Preparation and Removal: We carefully remove your existing ridge tiles and clear away all the old, deteriorated mortar. You will not have to worry about the mess, as waste clearance and scaffolding are fully included in all our quotes.Ventilation Roll Application: A breathable, waterproof membrane roll is laid along the ridge apex. This crucial step provides superior roof ventilation, allowing trapped moisture to escape and preventing timber rot.Mechanical Fixing: Your ridge tiles are securely fastened using robust screws, clamps, and waterproof unions. This mechanical fixing binds the tiles directly to the roof structure, making them highly resistant to extreme winds.Our process is efficient, tidy, and designed to provide a maintenance-free ridge for years to come.

Who We Are
Benefits of a Maintenance-Free Ridge
Upgrading to a dry ridge system offers significant advantages over traditional mortar pointing, particularly in areas like Chatham that are exposed to coastal and estuary winds. The benefits of choosing a mechanical fixing method include:Ultimate Weatherproofing: Mechanically fixed tiles cannot be blown off by high winds, ensuring your roof remains structurally sound during severe storms.Zero Maintenance: Unlike mortar, which naturally cracks and washes away over time, dry ridge systems require virtually no ongoing maintenance.Enhanced Roof Ventilation: The built-in breathable membrane prevents condensation from building up in your loft space, protecting your timbers from dampness and rot.Long-Term Cost Savings: By eliminating the need for regular repointing and ridge tile repairs, a dry fix system saves you money in the long run.
