Dry Ridge Roofing by JRD Roofing in Clitheroe, Lancashire

Overview

About Dry Ridge Roofing

JRD Roofing provides dry ridge roofing across Clitheroe, Lancashire and the surrounding areas. Traditional ridges are bedded on mortar, which cracks and lets ridge tiles work loose over time, one of the most common causes of ridge tiles blowing off in a storm. A dry ridge system clamps each ridge tile down mechanically and ventilates the ridge line. It meets current British Standards for new and re-covered roofs and is a reliable upgrade when a mortar ridge fails.

  • Mechanically fixed ridge and hip tiles
  • A ventilated ridge to reduce loft condensation
  • Removal of the old mortar-bedded ridge
  • Matching of existing ridge tiles where possible

  3. Check and finish

    The ridge line is checked for a clean, ventilated, weathertight finish.

FAQs

Common questions

Is dry ridge better than mortar?

Yes for durability. It does not rely on mortar that cracks, and it is now the standard for new and re-covered roofs.

Do you have to replace the ridge tiles?

Not always. If the existing ridge tiles are sound, we can often refit them on the new dry system.

Does a dry ridge need maintenance?

Very little. With no mortar to crack, a dry ridge is virtually maintenance-free and far more storm-resistant than a bedded ridge.

Is dry ridge the current standard?

Yes. British Standards now call for mechanically fixed (dry) ridges and hips on new and re-covered roofs, rather than bedding on mortar alone.
