Dry Fix Roofing in Sale

After a windy spell in Greater Manchester, loose ridge tiles and fallen verge mortar are among the first things homeowners notice. Mortar shrinks as it ages, and the freeze and thaw of a northern winter breaks it apart. If the ridge on your house in Sale has been rebedded before, there is a fair chance it will need doing again unless the method of fixing changes.

Oakcrest Roofing Ltd fits dry fix systems that hold ridge, hip and verge tiles with screws, clips and interlocking units. A ventilated roll under the ridge keeps rain out and lets damp air leave the loft. Verge units close the gable edge against driven rain and nesting birds. All of this can be fitted to an existing tiled roof without a full re-roof, provided the edge tiles and battens are sound.

We choose a system that suits your tile profile and colour, so the finished roof looks neat from the street. Mechanical fixing is now the expected approach for these parts of a roof, so converting to dry fix also brings an older roof into line with the way new roofs are built. You get a written quote first, and the old mortar is cleared from the roof and gutters.
