Maintenance-free roof edge protection installed by trusted local Staffordshire roofers.
Modern, Secure Alternatives to Mortar Bedding
Dry Ridge & Dry Verge Tiles in Stoke-on-Trent & Stafford
Traditional mortar-based ridge and verge systems often crack, crumble or come loose over time – especially with the UK’s changing weather conditions. That’s why more homeowners across Staffordshire are switching to dry ridge and dry verge systems for a secure, low-maintenance alternative.
Unifix Roofing supply and install high-quality dry ridge and dry verge systems that provide long-lasting protection and a clean, modern finish. These systems use mechanically fixed components rather than cement, reducing the risk of dislodged tiles and leaks over time.
Dry ridge systems are designed to firmly secure the ridge tiles along the apex of your roof, while dry verge units neatly cap off the roof edges, protecting exposed tiles from wind and rain. Both systems offer improved ventilation, weather resistance, and a neater appearance – all without the maintenance that comes with traditional methods.
Whether you’re upgrading a tired roof or including these systems as part of a re-roofing project, our team has the experience and materials to get the job done right.

What Is a Dry Ridge System?
A dry ridge system is a modern roofing solution used to secure ridge tiles — the tiles that run along the peak of your roof. Instead of using mortar (which can crack and deteriorate over time), dry ridge systems use a mechanical fixing system to hold each ridge tile firmly in place. This provides a more secure, weather-resistant finish and allows for natural roof ventilation. Dry ridge systems are quick to install, virtually maintenance-free, and offer a longer-lasting solution than traditional cement methods.
What Is a Dry Verge System?
A dry verge system is designed to cap and protect the exposed edges of your roof tiles along the gable ends. Like the dry ridge system, it replaces the need for mortar with a hard-wearing, interlocking UPVC or plastic system that resists wind, rain, and pest damage. Dry verge units improve the strength of your roof edge while giving it a cleaner, neater appearance. They’re particularly effective in high-wind areas and are ideal for both new roofs and upgrades to existing ones.
