Dry Verge Installation & Replacement in Wicklow

Wicklow roofs take weather from two directions: exposure off the sea along the Bray, Greystones, Kilcoole and Arklow coastline, and higher rainfall and wind on the upland side around Blessington, Donard and the Wicklow Gap. Both conditions are hard on a mortar-bedded verge.

Fitting a dry verge system removes the mortar from the equation. Each unit clips and screws into place along the gable, sealing the tile ends and holding the edge tiles down without depending on a cement bond that weakens as it ages.

We work on everything from detached houses and dormer bungalows in Enniskerry, Delgany and Newtownmountkennedy to older cottages and farmhouses around Rathdrum, Aughrim and Tinahely. Where a roof turns out not to suit a dry verge system, we will say so and explain the alternative.

Call 085 184 0105 with your location in Wicklow and we will arrange to inspect the verge and quote the work.
