50 ROOFING


A ridge or hip kit should include all the accessories a roofer needs to fit a given length of tiles, something which also provides a simple means of product comparison.


A high proportion of dry fix sales are replacing use of onsite silo mortar and for merchants such products present clear potential for continued growth. It should be in their interest to ensure the products they supply are ones that contractors will keep coming back for but at the moment, they have an unenviable task.


The development of features such as universal seals for use with round or angle ridges/hips adds further differentiation in terms of quality but it is clear that an absolute definition of what is required to guarantee lasting performance is needed. For the moment, with demand for such products at an all-time high in the UK housebuilding sector, the reputation of dry fixing is not being helped by products available on the market which are being sold with little more than a promise of performance.
