Dry Ridge in Oxfordshire
A dry ridge system holds the ridge tiles with clips and screws under a ventilated roll, instead of mortar. It stays secure in high wind and never washes out.

Overview
Dry Ridge across Oxford & the whole of Oxfordshire
The ridge is the line along the top of the roof, and on older roofs the tiles there are bedded in mortar that cracks and lets go over time. A dry ridge system fixes each tile mechanically under a weatherproof, ventilated roll.
It is more secure in wind, it ventilates the roof space, and it does away with the mortar that keeps failing. We fit dry ridge on new roofs and retrofit it to existing ones.

Pricing
What affects the cost of dry ridge in Oxfordshire
Every roof is different, so we price each job on what it actually needs. The main things that affect the cost are:
- The size and pitch of the roof, and how much access or scaffold the job needs
- The materials chosen, from budget concrete tile to natural slate or leadwork
- The condition of the timbers, battens and felt underneath once we open up
- Whether it is a repair, a partial recover, or a full strip and re-roof
