Dry verge roofing

Dry verge systems protect exposed roof edges from wind and rain, reducing maintenance compared to traditional mortar bedding. Common in UK roofing, they prevent water ingress and secure tiles at gable ends. Historically, mortar was used to seal these edges, but dry verge systems offer a long-term alternative that meets modern building regulations. Available in uPVC and other materials, they suit various roof styles and pitches. Brands like Klober and Timloc manufacture options compatible with a range of different tiles and roofing set-ups.

When installing a dry verge roof, you’ll need dry verge caps to cover each unit, preventing pests and moisture from entering. These systems work well for refurbishments and new builds, offering secure and ventilated gable finishes. You’ll find variations designed for slate and interlocking tiles, with colours to match common roofing materials.
