Our dry-fix services
Dry ridge systems
Ridge tiles mechanically fixed along the peak with a ventilated dry-ridge system — secure and mortar-free.
Dry verge systems
Interlocking clip-on caps at the gable edge that stop tiles slipping and keep birds and pests out.
Re-ridge & re-verge
Stripping tired mortar ridges/verges and re-fixing with a modern dry system.
Added ventilation
Dry ridge systems also ventilate the roof space, helping prevent condensation in the loft.
Signs you need dry-fix
Loose or slipped ridge tiles
If ridge tiles rock or have slipped, the mortar has failed — dry-fix is the lasting cure.
Cracked, crumbling mortar
Gaps in the mortar line let wind-driven rain straight in.
Birds nesting at the verge
Failed verge mortar leaves gaps that birds and pests get into.
Leaks at the roof edge
Water getting in at the ridge or gable usually means the bedding has gone.
Why Dunblane chooses F J Allan
Dry-fix is what we’d put on our own homes — no mortar to crack, mechanically secure, and it ventilates the roof too. As qualified roofers we fit it right, and we’ll always tell you honestly whether re-bedding or a full dry system is the better value. 10-year workmanship guarantee.

Dry Ridge & Verge FAQs — Dunblane
Do you provide dry ridge & verge in Dunblane?
Yes — we cover Dunblane and the surrounding towns and villages. Call for a free, no-obligation quote and a clear fixed price.
Is dry-fix better than mortar?
Yes — it can’t crack or wash out like mortar, it’s mechanically secure in high winds, and it ventilates the roof. It’s now the standard on new roofs.
Does it need any maintenance?
No — that’s the point. Once fitted, a dry ridge or verge system is maintenance-free for the life of the roof.
Can you dry-fix my existing roof?
Yes — we strip the old mortar ridge or verge and re-fix with a modern dry system on your existing tiles.
Will it stop my ridge tiles slipping?
Completely — each tile is mechanically clamped, so there’s nothing to work loose.
