Why Choose Us?

How Do Dry Ridge Systems Actually Work?

How Do Dry Ridge Systems Actually Work?A dry ridge system replaces the traditional, outdated method of using sand and cement mortar to secure the ridge tiles at the very top of your roof. Instead of relying on a wet mixture that is prone to cracking, crumbling, and blowing out during storms, a dry ridge setup uses durable mechanical fixings.The process begins with our team safely stripping away your old mortar and damaged tiles. We then install a high-quality, breathable membrane that allows moisture to escape from your roof space—a vital step in preventing condensation. Next, the ridge tiles are clamped securely into place using weatherproof screws and stainless steel battens. This ensures a flexible yet incredibly strong hold that moves naturally with your building's subtle shifts, entirely eliminating the risk of mortar failure.

Meeting Local Building Regulations in Kent

Meeting Local Building Regulations in KentWhen making structural updates to your roof, compliance with local building standards is essential. In 2015, the British Standards (BS 5534) were updated to make mechanical fixing mandatory for all new roofs, recognising the unreliability of mortar alone. Whether you reside in a modern build in Kings Hill or a more traditional property within the Tunbridge Wells borough, our dry ridge installations strictly adhere to these regulations.Our authoritative team is fully versed in local planning constraints, including rules regarding conservation areas around West Malling, Maidstone, and Sevenoaks. We ensure that your new dry ridge not only performs flawlessly but also respects the visual character of your local neighbourhood and complies fully with current UK building control guidelines.
