FAQs
dry ridge systems
What is a dry ridge system?
A dry ridge system uses screw fixings and weatherproof components to secure ridge tiles, replacing traditional mortar bedding for a stronger and longer-lasting finish.
Why should I upgrade to a dry ridge system?
Traditional mortar can crack and fail over time, especially after frost or heavy rain. Dry ridge systems are maintenance-free, weather-resistant and ventilated — making them ideal for modern roofs.
Can a dry ridge system be fitted to my existing roof?
Yes. In most cases, we can retrofit a dry ridge system without a full roof replacement.
How long will it last?
When installed professionally, a dry ridge system can last for decades without the need for maintenance.
Is the appearance different from a traditional ridge?
No — dry ridge systems maintain the same look as traditional ridge tiles, but with a cleaner, more uniform finish.

WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO
A strong, secure ridge line is essential for protecting your roof from wind and water damage. At Prestige Roofing Cheshire, we install modern screw-fixed dry ridge systems across Cheshire, Staffordshire and South Manchester, providing a long-lasting, maintenance-free alternative to traditional mortar bedding.
Dry ridge systems use mechanical fixings to secure ridge tiles along the roof’s peak, ensuring a clean, durable finish that resists weather damage. They also allow for natural ventilation beneath the tiles — helping to prevent condensation and extend the lifespan of your roof.
