willbish Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Is it possible to combine a ventilated dry ridge system with a lead ridge? Or to put it another way a ventilated lead ridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterW Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Nope - not unless you can lift the ridge and create a continuous gap all the way along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterW Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Doubt that would work but could see if it would be possible as you’d need to use a wooden roll profile on the ridge screwed to the ridge board but through the membrane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would use this under the lead: https://www.roofingsuperstore.co.uk/product/flash-vent-boxed-in-3m-roll.html Not designed for this exact purpose but think it wold work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterW Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 @willbish just spoken to a mate of mine who said give Nicholson’s a call. He reckoned you could use their Airtrak product to do what you want but may need to lift the ridge roll slightly to get the ridge to settle at the same angle as the roof. Think this is the stuff he’s referring to - see VR200 https://www.nicholsonsts.com/sites/default/files/files/standard/AIRTRAK Feb 2017 HR.pdf 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russell griffiths Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 If that Nicholson’s stuff is a bit pricey, even though it looks very good, you could probably get a support tray folded and add an insect mesh, then lay your lead over it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About £22/m looking at the price list which I don’t think is that bad actually. @willbish you will need to get the overlaps done well - oddly if you’re looking at lead rollwork like that, a church roofer may be more beneficial.
