Dry verge conversion for gable ends — replaces failing mortar bedding.
Symptoms & warning signs
- Mortar crumbling or falling away from the gable edge of the roof
- Gaps at the verge letting wind, rain and birds under the tiles
- Verge tiles slipping or sitting proud of the line
- Staining running down the gable wall from the roof edge
- Repeated repointing of the same verge
Inspection & diagnosis
Every quote begins with an inspection. Where a roof is inaccessible, complex or storm-damaged, we can carry out a drone inspection to capture imagery and annotated findings before recommending works.
Typical scope of work
- Removal of failed mortar bedding along the gable verge
- Inspection of the verge battens, tiles and undercloak
- Fitting of mechanically-fixed dry verge caps to each tile course
- Ridge-to-verge junction caps and starter units fitted to suit the roof
- Colour and profile matched to the existing covering as closely as available
- Removal of debris and making good of the gable below
Timescale
Usually completed within a day per gable once access is available. Both gables on a standard house are typically a one to two day job.
Guarantee & aftercare
Dry verge installations carry our written workmanship guarantee plus the manufacturer's warranty on the components. No further mortar maintenance should be needed at the verge.
Project evidence
Every job is photographed before, during and after the work, so you can see what was found, what was done and what it looks like finished — including the parts of the roof you cannot see from the ground. Those photographs are shared with you and, with permission, may be used as a case study.
