Emergency roofing response across Cumbria and the Borders, answered day and night.

What does roofline & roof edge systems cover?

Roofs fail at their edges. Ridge, verge and eaves take the wind and carry the water, and modern mechanically fixed systems remove the mortar that used to be the weak point.

  • Dry Ridge Systems

    A dry ridge system fixes ridge and hip tiles mechanically with screws, clamps and a ventilated union strip instead of bedding them in sand-cement mortar. It does not crack, shrink or lose adhesion, it ventilates the roof apex, and it is the current standard under BS 5534 for new and re-roofed work.

  • Dry Verge Systems

    A dry verge system caps the gable edge of a roof with interlocking mechanically fixed units instead of mortar. It resists wind uplift at the most exposed edge of the roof, prevents birds and rodents entering the roof space, and removes the recurring cost of repointing the verge.

  • Roofline — Fascias, Soffits, Guttering & Bargeboards

    Roofline covers the fascias, soffits, bargeboards, guttering and downpipes at the edge of the roof. These components carry the gutter, close the eaves and manage all the water coming off the roof, so their failure causes damp, rot and pest access even when the covering itself is sound.
