Brick gable end and verge beside a roof being re-battened

Gable End & Verge Repairs you can rely on

The verge is the edge of your roof where the tiles meet the gable wall. On many homes it is bedded in mortar, which cracks and falls out over time. Once it goes, tiles loosen, wind can get underneath and water finds its way into the wall and loft.

We can re-bed verges in mortar to match the rest of the roof, or upgrade to a mechanically fixed dry verge system that needs very little maintenance. Where the gable brickwork itself is cracked or perished, we'll repair and re-point it too.

Will and his team recently completed a job at my property, not only were they prompt on time but also carried out work to a perfect standard. Attention to detail was second to none. All completed in the expected timeframe and to the standard we both agreed. I will certainly be back for any other future projects. Cheers Will, until next time!

I had a great experience with Trident Roofing. They were incredibly professional from start to finish and provided a very reasonably priced quote compared to others in the area. The quality of work was excellent, highly recommended.

Natalie C.Google review

Used this company twice now and would recommend them if you want prompt and professional work carried out. Beat quotes previously given from other companies by a big margin. Very helpful through the whole process!

Creddie P.Google review

I had a problem with a leak coming into my daughter's bedroom from the chimney breast. I had several roofers out to try and rectify the problem, however, they said everything was fine. Will came out to have a look at the roof, he used a drone which I was impressed by. By using the drone you could see the problem straight away. Within two hours of visiting my property, he sent me a quote. Within a week, he had rectified the problem. The guys who came to fix the problem were lovely and also Will was excellent with his communication skills, always keeping me in the loop. I would highly recommend using this company. I was very impressed.

Tracey H.Google review

William carried out work on our garage roof to enable a car lift to be fitted. He quoted a price, carried the work out promptly and left no mess. The price he quoted was the price we paid, all work was carried out professionally, couldn't be happier. It's great to find genuine tradesmen these days, would not hesitate to recommend.

Moto ReplicasGoogle review

Amazing work, we got 2 different things done to the roof, explained things properly, showed photos/videos of the damaged roof, completed the work efficiently, very transparent with the work/pricing and very polite and helpful with any questions we had. I would definitely use Trident again.

FAQs

Gable End & Verge Repairs: your questions answered

Can't find your answer? Call or WhatsApp us and we'll be happy to help.

What is a dry verge?

A dry verge uses interlocking caps fixed to the roof battens instead of mortar to seal the edge of the roof. It doesn't crack or wash out like mortar, so it needs very little maintenance.

Is a dry verge better than mortar?

Dry verge is low-maintenance and a popular upgrade. Mortar verges suit some period properties and conservation areas. We'll recommend what suits your home.

Are loose verge tiles dangerous?

They can be. Verge tiles sit on the edge of the roof, so loose ones can be lifted by wind and fall. If you can see mortar or tiles coming away, get it checked as soon as possible.

Can you repair cracked gable brickwork?

Yes. As a roofing and building company, we repair and re-point gable brickwork as well as the roof itself.
