The roofs in Scunthorpe
Because Scunthorpe grew quickly through the twentieth century, whole streets went up together and their roofs are now ageing together. It is why a single estate can produce several re-roofs in a year and why neighbours often compare quotes. The pattern is consistent: sound covering, corroded fixings, perished underlay, and mortar bedded ridge and verge at the end of its service life.
Scunthorpe's housing is largely twentieth century, so a great many of its roofs are concrete interlocking tile laid on felt, all reaching the end of their fixings around the same time.
Dry ridge and verge suits Scunthorpe's exposed estate housing well. Mortar bedded ridge on an open plot works loose from both sides, and mechanical fixing removes the problem rather than resetting the clock on it.
What dry ridge and dry verge in Scunthorpe involves
- Dry ridge systemsOld ridge tiles lifted, mortar removed, ridge batten fixed and each tile screwed down with a ventilated union and seal.
- Storm reinstatementRidge and verge put back after wind damage, usually converted to dry fixing at the same time.
- Hip systemsDry hip rolls and hip irons where the roof has hips as well as a main ridge.
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 Scunthorpe property needs this
- Whistling or draught noise from the ridge in high wind
- A ridge tile that has moved out of line with the others
- Mortar fragments on the drive, path or in the gutter
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 Scunthorpe, questions we get asked
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.
How long does dry ridge and verge take?
Typically one to two days on a standard house once access is in place, weather allowing.
Do you cover Scunthorpe?
Yes. Scunthorpe is covered by our Scunthorpe office on 01724 514 178, and dry ridge and dry verge is one of the services we run there every week. We also cover Bottesford and Flixborough from the same office.
How quickly can you get to Scunthorpe for dry ridge and dry verge?
Ring the Scunthorpe office on 01724 514 178 and we will give you a real date rather than a flattering one. Scunthorpe is in the middle of our Scunthorpe patch, so it is part of that team's normal patch.
Can you do other work while you are on the roof in Scunthorpe?
Yes, and it usually saves money. Once access is up, picking up the guttering, a chimney or a valley costs the labour and materials rather than a second lot of scaffold.
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.
