Frequently Asked Questions About Side Verges
What is a roof verge?
A roof verge is the outer edge of a pitched roof where the tiles or slates meet the gable end of the property. It is an exposed part of the roof and needs to be properly finished to help protect the roof from wind and rain.
What is the purpose of a side verge?
Side verges help protect the exposed edges of the roof covering and provide a neat, weather-resistant finish. A properly maintained verge can help reduce the risk of wind-driven rain reaching vulnerable areas beneath the tiles.
How do I know if my roof verge needs repairing?
Common signs include cracked or missing mortar, loose verge tiles, visible gaps, sections of mortar falling away or signs of water penetration around the gable end. Damage should be inspected before it allows further deterioration to occur.
What is the difference between a mortar verge and a dry verge?
A traditional mortar verge uses mortar to finish and secure the edge of the roof, while a dry-verge system uses mechanically fixed components to protect and finish the tile edges without relying on exposed mortar. The most suitable option will depend on the existing roof and the appearance required.
Can damaged mortar verges be repaired?
Yes. Localised areas of deteriorated mortar can often be repaired if the surrounding roof covering is still in good condition. If deterioration is widespread, it may be more appropriate to renew the verge or consider a suitable dry-verge system.
Can a dry-verge system be fitted to an existing roof?
In many cases, a dry-verge system can be fitted as part of repair or refurbishment work. The existing tiles, battens and roof edge first need to be assessed to make sure the proposed system is suitable for the roof.
Why does verge mortar crack or fall out?
Verge mortar is exposed to rain, frost, wind and changes in temperature. Over time, weathering and movement can cause mortar to crack, loosen or break away, particularly on older roofs.
Can damaged side verges cause roof leaks?
Yes. Gaps or deterioration around the verge can leave parts of the roof more exposed to wind-driven rain. However, leaks can have several possible causes, so the roof should be inspected to identify exactly where water is entering.
How much does side verge repair cost?
The cost depends on the length and condition of the verge, the type of repair or system required, roof access and whether scaffolding or replacement tiles are needed. A property survey allows us to assess the work and provide an accurate quotation.
