Ridge capping is the triangular-shaped tiles or metal flashing that cover the ridge - the highest point where two roof surfaces meet. It plays a critical role in keeping your tiled roof weatherproof and structurally sound.

Over time, the mortar that holds the ridge capping in place can crack or deteriorate due to weather exposure, shifting tiles, or age. This can lead to water leaks, pest intrusion, and even damage to the internal roof structure.

Maintaining or replacing ridge capping is essential for protecting your home from moisture and wind damage. Our licensed plumbers can inspect your roof's ridge line and ensure it' s sealed and secure for long-term protection.

Repointing involves replacing the flexible mortar or compound that seals ridge capping to the roof tiles. It's an important part of roof maintenance and should be done when:

• Mortar is visibly cracked or falling out
• You notice leaks near the ridge line
• Ridge capping appears loose or misaligned
• You're getting frequent roof leaks or tile movement

Repointing not only prevents water damage but also strengthens your roof against wind uplift and general wear. Most tiled roofs should be repointed every 10 to 15 years, depending on exposure and quality of materials used.

Our licensed plumbers specialise in roof repointing, using high-quality flexible compounds to ensure durability and weather resistance. We also inspect for underlying tile or flashing issues during the process.
