Gable end caps

Gable end caps protect the exposed edges of a roof where two slopes meet at the ridge. They cover the open ends of ridge tiles, stopping water and debris from getting into the roof structure. Typically made from plastic, metal or concrete, they’re designed to match the different roof styles and materials you’re using. In traditional buildings, clay ridge cap ends were often shaped or ornamented, while modern versions are more streamlined and designed for durability.

You’ll see these caps used in pitched roofing on houses, garages, and outbuildings. They help keep the ridge secure in high winds and prevent birds or pests from getting in. When fitting an end cap, roofing professionals consider ventilation needs, as some designs allow airflow to reduce condensation. Whether working on a new build or repairing an older roof, choosing the right ridge cap end ensures a secure and weatherproof finish.
