Dry Verge
About This Service
The verge is the edge of the roof at each gable end. Traditional mortar verges crack, fall away and let wind under the edge tiles - which then lift or fly off in storms.
A dry verge system replaces that mortar with interlocking plastic caps that clip over the edge tile and screw down into the batten. The result is a neat, weather-tight edge that holds tiles down in any wind.
We install dry verge in matching colours across the North East, with full removal of failed mortar and a written workmanship guarantee on every job.
