Dry ridge system - how much to install?
Discussion
My roofer has just pointed out that I have a lot of loose ridge tiles and has suggested replacing them with a dry ridge system.
Could anyone tell me roughly how much this should cost for supply & fit. The total length of the roof ridge is about 15m and it's rural northern England.
Thanks.

I had ours done while a flat roof was being replaced this year.
I think I paid an extra day's labour to get the ridge done, plus about £150ish for 15 metres of kit.
Be warned though - it isn't as easy as it looks in some cases - ours needed the ridge tiles narrowing by a few mm as the dry system has gaps between the tiles for the clamps, plus the top row of tiles needed the top edges grinding off to get the ridges to sit right.
Dead clever system though - Manthorpe used here - recommended - as long as the plastic clamping bits/washers stay put.
