The roofs in Beverley
Beverley has one of the largest conservation areas in the East Riding, running through the town centre around the Minster, Saturday Market and Wednesday Market. On older property there the covering and the detailing both matter: clay pantile, natural slate and proper leadwork, rather than the nearest modern equivalent. It is worth knowing where you stand on that before anyone puts a scaffold up.
Beverley has a large conservation area around the Minster and Saturday Market, so on older property in the centre the covering and the detailing need to be sympathetic as well as watertight.
On Beverley's newer estates a dry ridge conversion is a straightforward one to two day job. On older property inside the conservation area we will look at whether bedded and pointed mortar is the more appropriate finish first.
What dry ridge and dry verge in Beverley involves
- Re-bedding where appropriateOn some period and conservation properties mortar is the right answer, and we will bed and point it properly rather than push a system on you.
- Storm reinstatementRidge and verge put back after wind damage, usually converted to dry fixing at the same time.
- Dry ridge systemsOld ridge tiles lifted, mortar removed, ridge batten fixed and each tile screwed down with a ventilated union and seal.
That is the short version. There is a fuller explanation of the work, the materials and the detailing on our dry ridge and dry verge page.
Signs your Beverley property needs this
- Visible gaps along the ridge line when you look up from the garden
- A ridge tile that has moved out of line with the others
- Mortar missing along the gable edge, with the tile ends exposed
Why mortar fails and dry fixing does not
Mortar is rigid and a roof is not. Timber moves with heat and moisture, the ridge tiles move with it, and eventually the bond breaks. Once one joint is open, water gets behind the bedding, frost does the rest, and the failure spreads along the ridge.

FAQs
Dry ridge and dry verge in Beverley, questions we get asked
Does it come with a guarantee?
Yes. It falls under our 10 year workmanship guarantee, and the components carry their own manufacturer cover.
Do I need to re-roof to get dry ridge?
No. Converting the ridge and verge is a standalone job on an otherwise sound roof, and it is one of the better value pieces of roofing work you can have done.
Do you cover Beverley?
Yes. Beverley is covered by our Hull office on 01482 961 240, and dry ridge and dry verge is one of the services we run there every week. We also cover Cottingham and Bransholme from the same office.
How quickly can you get to Beverley for dry ridge and dry verge?
Ring the Hull office on 01482 961 240 and we will give you a real date rather than a flattering one. Beverley is about 8 miles north west of Hull, so it is part of that team's normal patch.
What does the free survey in Beverley involve?
We come out, get on the roof where it is safe to, and photograph what is actually there rather than guessing from the ground. You get the findings and an itemised quote in writing.
Do you need to see the roof before quoting?
Yes, always. A roof quote given without seeing the roof is a number somebody hopes is high enough, and it is the reason so many people end up with a price that changes once work starts.
