Crumbling Roof Mortar & Repointing
Is the cement on your roof ridge caps cracking and falling out? We offer professional flexible repointing services across Melbourne.
Secure Your Ridge Caps TodayThe Symptoms
If you notice any of the following warning signs, it's highly likely your roof is suffering from this issue and requires immediate attention before secondary damage occurs.
- Chunks of cement sitting in your gutters
- Visible cracks along the ridge capping
- Loose or wobbly ridge tiles
- Water leaking near the center or edges of the roof
The Cause
Older roofs were pointed using traditional sand and cement mortar. Over time, the natural expansion and contraction of your home causes this rigid cement to crack, crumble, and fall away, leaving the ridge caps unsecured and vulnerable to wind and rain.
The Everyday Solution
We grind away the failing mortar and re-bed the ridge caps if necessary. We then apply a modern, polymer-based flexible pointing compound that moves with your home, ensuring a permanent, crack-free seal that lasts for years.
