Lychgate Industrial Estate, Rayleigh Essex SS6 7TZ
A secure, long-lasting way to protect your ridge line – no mortar, no cracking, just a clean, low-maintenance finish.
Mortar breaks down over time, especially in strong winds and shifting temperatures. When ridge mortar cracks, water can seep in, leading to damp, rot, and loose tiles.
Dry fix systems solve this with mechanical fixings and built-in ventilation, giving you a safe, durable ridge without the upkeep.
