WHAT IS A DRY VERGE SYSTEM AND HOW DOES IT WORK?
A dry verge system is a modern, mechanically fixed roofing solution designed to protect the edges of your roof where tiles meet the gable end. It replaces traditional mortar with interlocking verge units, end caps, starter pieces, and batten clips to form a secure, weathertight seal. This system eliminates issues like mortar cracking or falling away over time, ensuring longer-lasting roof protection with minimal maintenance. It also helps prevent birds and pests from entering exposed areas of your roof.
BENEFITS OF INSTALLING DRY VERGE SYSTEMS ON GABLE ROOFS
Unlike older wet verge roofs, which rely on mortar, dry verge systems offer far greater durability and resistance to weather damage. Designed to prevent water ingress and mortar degradation, they also help reduce staining on your verge and gable walls by controlling rainwater run-off. With a secure clip-over design and compatibility with common single lap tiles and battens between 260mm and 355mm, dry verge systems are suitable for both refurbishments and new builds. They're easy to install and virtually maintenance-free.
WHY SWITCH FROM WET VERGE TO DRY VERGE ROOFING?
Many older properties feature wet verge roofing, where mortar was traditionally used to seal the edges of gable-end roofs. While mortar did offer some protection, it’s prone to cracking and weather damage over time. Dry verge systems provide a far more reliable and modern alternative. With components that interlock securely and resist wind and rain, they offer consistent protection and require no ongoing re-pointing. Switching to a dry verge setup can significantly increase your roof’s resilience and lifespan.
