Dry ridge explained
Loose ridge tiles need the fixing arrangement checked, not just a glance at the mortar underneath. Adam inspects the ridge and adjacent roof covering before explaining whether the work concerns individual components or a new dry ridge installation. In Bletchley, the recorded job replaced ridge tiles with a dry ridge system alongside tile, hip and gutter repairs.
The gallery also shows hip roll being installed, which is a progress view rather than a finished result. Your quote distinguishes the ridge from the hips and names the fixing and ventilation components involved, so the proposed work follows the actual condition of your roof.
Your dry ridge quote accounts for the support, mechanical fixings, ridge roll and tiles as one roof detail. Ventilation and the fit against the adjacent covering belong in that description too. For repairs to your existing system, Adam identifies the components being retained.
Stormshield provides dry ridge installation and repair, with a dry ridge system also named in its re-roof record. Your written specification shows how the selected system meets your tile profile and roof arrangement. That gives you a clearer comparison than a quote which merely promises to replace the mortar at the top of the roof.
Adam shows you which ridge components are loose and explains how their replacements will be secured. That explanation covers your ridge tiles, their support and the roof covering beside them. Adam provides inspection photographs and a written explanation, so you can see the difference between a local fixing repair and a full dry ridge installation.
Bletchley supplies a real example of ridge work carried out with broken tile and hip repairs. It does not mean your roof needs all of those jobs. Adam uses the inspection to define your ridge work and identify connected defects separately before booking.

Customer reviews
Excellent, job was done well without too much distraction as I work from home, job came in under quote - 11/10
When estimating they were the only ones to actually inspect the roof! Provided photos and full explanation of the rework required to resolve the issue. Carried out the repair as planned, when planned with minimal disruption and no damage. HIGHLY RECOMMEND this business.
The communications with Adam were excellent. The work was arranged quickly and carried out by Ben to a high standard. Would heartily recommend this company.
Your roofing questions answered
What is a dry ridge system?
It secures ridge tiles using mechanical components and a specified ridge detail, with ventilation considered as part of the system. Adam specifies the support, ridge roll and fixings to suit your tiles, with photographs explaining the existing roof detail.
Can an existing dry ridge system be repaired?
Dry ridge repair is work our fully insured roofers carry out. Adam checks the tiles, fixings and supporting components before quoting.
Can you replace mortar bedding with dry ridge?
That change is recorded in the Bletchley job. Adam inspects your roof before specifying the installation.
Is dry ridge the same as dry verge?
No. The ridge runs along the roof's top junction; the verge is its gable edge. Your quote identifies each detail separately.
Does dry ridge mean no future checks?
Adam supplies your system details and work photographs as a record for later roof inspections. The adjoining tiles, ridge fixings and ventilation still need their condition assessed, and he checks those components when investigating wind damage or a new leak.
What guarantee comes with the work?
A 10-year workmanship guarantee on all work. Stormshield is fully insured, and you receive daily progress updates with photos and videos.
