Dry Ridge System
The mortar-free ridge solution that lasts a lifetime
About Our Dry Ridge Service
Traditional mortar-bedded ridge tiles eventually fail and need repointing — usually every 15–25 years. A dry ridge system eliminates this ongoing maintenance by using mechanical fixings, flexible seals, and interlocking ridge caps instead of mortar. Reliable Roofing Services installs dry ridge systems across Coventry and the surrounding areas as both a new installation and as a replacement for failed traditional ridges.
Dry ridge systems also provide vital roof space ventilation, reducing condensation and improving the thermal performance of your roof. Most systems carry a 20–40 year product guarantee.
