    Ridge 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.

    Repointing 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.

    Ridge capping work we do

    From a few cracked joints to full ridge lines on older terracotta and concrete tile roofs.

    If the rest of the roof is also failing, we will tell you whether a full restoration is better value than ridge work alone.

    Signs your ridges need attention:

    Cracked or missing pointing along the ridge

    Ridge caps that look uneven or have moved

    Bedding mortar crumbling or falling onto the roof

    Damp patches on ceilings below a ridge or hip

    Ridge cap repointing

    Cracked or failed pointing is removed and renewed over sound bedding.

    Rebedding and repointing

    Loose caps are lifted, the old bedding replaced, and the caps reset and repointed.

    Broken ridge cap replacement

    Cracked or broken caps are replaced with the closest available match.

    Ridge and hip inspection

    Every ridge and hip is checked and photographed before you commit to anything.

    Frequently asked questions

    Straightforward answers to the practical questions homeowners ask before booking.

    Repointing renews the flexible pointing on top of the bedding. Rebedding lifts the caps, replaces the bedding mortar underneath, then resets and repoints them. Rebedding is needed when the caps move or the bedding has broken down.

    If caps move when pressed, sit unevenly, or the bedding underneath is crumbling, they need rebedding. If they are firm and only the outer pointing is cracked, repointing is usually enough. We check and show you photos.

    It depends on how many metres of ridge and hip need work, whether it is repointing or rebedding, and access. Every job is quoted after inspection; for a rough idea, try the estimate calculator on this page.

    Yes. Ridge capping is tile-roof work on both terracotta and concrete tile roofs.

    It can be. A full restoration usually includes rebedding and repointing where needed, plus cleaning, tile replacement and coating. If only the ridges need work, we quote that on its own.

    Yes. We carry $20 million public liability insurance, and a certificate of currency is available on request.
