Ridge Capping, Rebedding & Repointing in Melbourne
Cracked pointing, loose ridge caps and crumbling bedding fixed properly. We check whether your ridges need repointing or a full rebed, show you photos, and quote in writing first.
Before
AfterRidge caps fail slowly, then all at once
The caps along the ridges and hips of a tiled roof are held by bedding and sealed with pointing. As the pointing cracks, water gets under the caps, the bedding breaks down, and caps start to move.
BeforeAfterRepointing or rebedding: we tell you which
If the caps are firm and only the outer pointing is cracked, repointing renews the flexible pointing over sound bedding. If caps move when pressed or the bedding underneath is crumbling, they need lifting, rebedding and repointing. Enes checks every ridge and hip, photographs what he finds, and quotes the work your roof actually needs.
