About this service

Protect and Finish the Edges of Your Roof

The verge is the exposed edge where the roof tiles meet the gable wall. Traditional mortar can crack, loosen and fall away after years of exposure, leaving the roof edge vulnerable to wind-driven rain, pests and tile movement.

Our dry verge installation replaces failing mortar with mechanically fixed uPVC units. Each unit is fitted securely to create a neat, consistent and low-maintenance finish that helps protect the roof edge in changing weather conditions.
