FAQs
Ridge & Verge in Horley: FAQs
Do you provide ridge & verge across all of Horley?
Yes, we cover the RH6 postcode area in full, including Massetts, Lonsdale, Smallfield, Horley Row, Westvale Park.
What's the difference between mortar bedding and a dry ridge system?
Mortar bedding is the traditional method, but it's exposed to weather and typically needs attention every 10-15 years as it cracks and erodes. A dry ridge or dry verge system uses mechanical clips and unions instead of mortar, giving a longer-lasting fix with less ongoing maintenance, though it costs more to install initially.
How do I know if my ridge needs attention?
Visible cracked or missing mortar, ridge tiles that look uneven or have shifted, or debris and mortar fragments in the gutter are common signs. A survey, including drone survey where useful, confirms the extent before quoting.
Does living near Gatwick Airport affect planning permission in Horley?
