Dry Ridge Kit – Rooftec 6m Universal

The Rooftec 6m Universal Dry Ridge Kit gives you a complete, mortar-free ridge fixing system in a single pack. Designed to work with most standard roof tile profiles, this kit covers 6 linear metres and includes everything needed to mechanically fix and ventilate the ridge — no mixing, no pointing, no waiting for mortar to go off. If you’ve spent time re-bedding ridges that have shifted or cracked after a few winters, you’ll appreciate why dry ridge systems have become the standard across new build and re-roofing work.

What’s Inside the Rooftec Universal Dry Ridge Kit

The 6m ventilated ridge roll is 320mm wide and delivers 5000mm² of airflow per linear metre, keeping the roof space ventilated through the ridge line without any additional components. Alongside the roll, you get 10 batten support brackets, 13 ridge unions, 13 fixing screws at 100mm, 13 metal clamping plates, and 26 plastic clamping clips. The pack is put together sensibly — the quantities match each other, and you’re not left short on clips or unions mid-job.

Why Mechanical Fixing Makes Sense

Mortar ridges fail. They crack as the roof moves, and once water gets in, the damage spreads quickly. Mechanically fixed dry ridge systems flex with the structure and stay sealed. The clamping plate and clip arrangement on this kit grips the ridge tile securely without relying on adhesion to a dusty or damp surface, which is a real advantage on re-roofing work where substrate conditions aren’t always ideal.

The universal design means this Rooftec dry ridge kit is compatible with a wide range of concrete and clay ridge tile profiles, making it a practical choice whether you’re on a new build or replacing a failing mortar ridge on an existing property. Straightforward to install, and no specialist tools required beyond what you’d already have on a roofing job.
