Upgrade your roof with dry ridge and verge systems in Cheltenham

Is your roof showing signs of age with crumbling mortar or loose ridge tiles? Traditional mortar bedding was once the standard for roofs across Cheltenham, but time and the British weather often cause this cement to crack, shrink, and fall away. At PRS Roofing, we specialise in converting these outdated systems into modern, maintenance-free dry fix solutions. By removing the old mortar and installing high-quality mechanical fixings, we provide a secure, watertight finish that protects your home from the elements without the need for constant repointing.

Why Choose Us?

Why should I convert my roof from mortar to a dry fix system?

The main drawback of traditional mortar is its lack of flexibility. As your house naturally moves and the temperature fluctuates, mortar eventually cracks, leading to leaks and unstable tiles. A dry fix conversion offers a permanent alternative. These systems use mechanical screws and clamps to secure tiles in place, allowing for natural thermal expansion while providing far superior resistance to high winds. For homeowners in Gloucestershire looking for a 'fit and forget' solution, upgrading to a dry ridge and dry verge system is a smart, long-term investment.

Who We Are

Durable dry ridge installation for Cheltenham homes

Our dry ridge system involves stripping away the old, failing cement and installing a dedicated waterproof union and ventilated roll along the peak of your roof. This not only keeps the rain out but also allows your roof space to breathe, reducing the risk of condensation and timber rot. Each ridge tile is then securely fastened with stainless steel screws and plates. This method is now required on most new builds because it is significantly more reliable than mortar, ensuring your ridge tiles remain exactly where they should be, even during the harshest Gloucestershire storms.

Secure your roof edges with professional dry verge fitting

The edges of your roof, known as the verges, are particularly vulnerable to wind uplift. Old mortar here often breaks away, leaving the edges of your tiles exposed and inviting pests like birds or wasps to nest in the gap. Our dry verge systems involve fitting durable, weather-resistant caps over the edge of each tile. This creates a clean, uniform look that prevents water ingress and ensures the wind cannot get under your tiles. It is an effective way to modernise the appearance of your property while drastically improving its structural integrity.

Our conversion process for Gloucestershire properties

When you choose PRS Roofing for your mortar to dry system conversion, we handle every stage with care. We begin by safely removing the existing ridge and verge tiles and clearing away all traces of old, dusty mortar. We then inspect the underlying roof battens and felt to ensure the structure is sound before installing the new dry fix components. Our team works efficiently to minimise disruption to your daily routine, and we always ensure your property is left clean and tidy once the upgrade is complete.
