FIX-R PITCHED ACCESSORIES
UNIVERSAL DRY FIX RIDGES KITS
Our Universal Dry Fix Ridge Kits include everything you need to secure ridge tiles at the roof apex. They protect against wind uplift and water penetration and conform to BS 8612: Dry Fixed Ridge, Hip & Verge Systems for Slating & Tiling.
Our kits contain a breathable ridge roll to cover the roof batten which is fastened to the tile or slate with its self adhesive strip to provide a water tight seal. Ridge tiles can then be installed over the ridge roll to secure it in place and across the apex of the roof using the fixings contained within the kit.

STARTER & END CAPS
Our Starter Caps are mechanically fixed to the end of the fascia board or brickwork before installing the first universal dry verge unit. This will prevent water ingress and infestation at the eaves.
Our End Caps fit over the final dry verge unit’s grille at the roofs apex in order to create a neat finish to the verge installation whilst also providing protection against infestation and water ingress.
Available in black, brown, grey and terracotta.

eaves protection system
Our Eaves Protection System is made from 100% recycled PVC and acts as a support tray that ensures any roof underlay does not drape into the gutter, preventing water ponding behind fascias and rotting of roof underlay, thus reducing maintenance levels.
It provides a clear drainage point into the gutter, directing water away from the underlay whilst also protecting the underlay from UV degradation.
It is recommended to install this system when existing fascia boards are being replaced or as a replacement for any rotting underlay at the eaves.
Available in 1.5m lengths.
UNDERCLOAK SOFFIT STRIP
Our FIX-R Undercloak Soffit Strip is a strong, fibre cement strip that is fixed at the roof verge, beneath the battens.

Our Undercloak Soffit Strip is available in 4 sizes to suit various roof configurations.
