Should ridge tiles be cemented on?

Question

Is there something more modern that roofers are using when fixing ridge tiles?

Lee · Answer

Hi.

Yes there is a dry ridge system.
Essentially they are fixed onto the roof ridge timber.
With no need for cement to bed them
It's a low maintenance method as they will not need to be re done over the years.
