Flexible repointing for tiled roofs
Ridge caps sit along the joins at the top of a tiled roof. Traditional mortar bedding can crack or loosen as a roof weathers and moves. Flexible pointing is designed to accommodate some movement while helping keep ridge caps in place.
WeCare Roofing provides roof repointing in Lakemba and Sydney. We inspect the ridge line and surrounding tiles to understand whether repointing, rebedding or another repair is needed.
Repointing and rebedding
Rebedding involves resetting ridge caps in mortar where the existing bed has deteriorated. Flexible repointing is then applied along the cap edges. Depending on the roof, both steps may be required; on other roofs, targeted repairs may be suitable.
Signs ridge caps may need attention
- Cracked, loose or missing pointing
- Ridge caps that appear out of line or unstable
- Mortar fragments in gutters or around the home
- Water entry near the roof ridge
