Our team recently completed a full roof replacement for a residential property in Oxted, upgrading the old roof with a modern and low maintenance dry verge and dry ridge system for improved protection and durability.
The original roof had started to show signs of age, with weathered tiles and failing mortar on the ridges and verges. The homeowner wanted a long-lasting, maintenance-free solution that would not only enhance the home's appearance but also improve overall weather resistance.
Scope of Works
1. Old Roof Removal: We began by safely removing the existing roof tiles and ridge components, inspecting the underlying structure to ensure it was sound and ready for the new installation.
2. New Roof Installation: High-quality tiles were installed across the entire roof, giving the property a fresh and uniform finish.
3. Dry Verge & Dry Ridge System: Instead of traditional mortar, we fitted a dry verge and dry ridge system, which provides a secure mechanical fixing. This system prevents water ingress, resists wind uplift, and eliminates the need for future repointing. It also gives the roof edges a clean, tidy appearance that complements the home's style.
4. Finishing Touches: Once installation was complete, we carried out a full inspection and cleanup, ensuring the roof was watertight and finished to our usual high standards.
Project Outcome
The completed roof has given the property a modern, durable, and maintenance-free finish. The dry verge and ridge system not only enhances weather protection but also delivers a neat, professional look that will last for decades.
This project in Oxted demonstrates how modern roofing systems can offer both aesthetic appeal and long-term performanc, making them a smart choice for homeowners looking to invest in the future of their property.
