Why Shane fits dry ridge and dry verge
Mortar ridges and verges crack with every frost and need repointing every few years. Dry systems are screwed down over a ventilated ridge roll and plastic verge caps, with no mortar to fail.
On a Brookwood house the ridge had failed and water was getting into every area of the house. Shane explained the dry ridge system, the team fitted it and the customer has had not one single issue since. In Bracknell the team fixed lead and the dry verge the day after quoting, and fixed a loose tile they found for free.

Dry ridge and verge questions
Is dry ridge better than mortar?
For most concrete and clay tiled roofs, yes. It does not crack, it ventilates the roof and the ridge tiles are mechanically fixed. BS 5534, the British Standard for slating and tiling, has asked for mechanically fixed ridge and verge tiles since 2015.
Can you reuse my ridge tiles?
The existing ridge tiles go back on if they are sound, which keeps the roof matching. Shane checks them and tells you before he quotes.
How long does a dry ridge take to fit?
A typical house ridge is a one or two day job, scaffold permitting. Shane gives you the timescale with the quote.
