Dry ridge and verge repairs across Northamptonshire
Loose ridge tiles, cracked mortar and failing verges can let water into the roof and create a risk below. Newstone Roofers repairs and replaces dry ridge and dry verge systems across Northamptonshire, including Leicester, Wigston, Oadby, Enderby, Hinckley, Blaby and surrounding villages.
We inspect the full roof edge rather than securing only the tile that has moved. Where appropriate, we install mechanically fixed systems that provide a clean finish, better ventilation and improved resistance to wind and frost.
