Roof Repointing in Clarence Valley
Replacement scope
What Does Roof Repointing Include?
Roof repointing is the process of applying a flexible pointing compound over the bedding mortar to seal the ridge caps and ensure your tiled roof remains structurally secure.
01
Mortar Assessment
We inspect the existing ridge caps to determine if the mortar is simply cracked (requiring repointing) or completely loose (requiring re-bedding).
02
Surface Preparation
We clean away loose debris, dirt, and old crumbling pointing to ensure a strong bond for the new application.
03
Flexible Pointing Application
A modern, flexible pointing compound is meticulously trowelled over the mortar to seal the joints securely.
04
Quality Inspection
The freshly pointed ridge caps are checked to ensure a smooth, watertight finish that seamlessly matches your roof.
Knowing when to act
Signs Your Roof Pointing Is Failing
Cracked Ridge Cap Mortar: Hairline cracks or large splits in the mortar along the peaks of your roof.
Missing Chunks of Pointing: Sections where the mortar has completely broken off and fallen into the gutters or down the roof.
Loose Ridge Tiles: Ridge caps that rattle in the wind or can be easily moved by hand.
Roof Leaks During Heavy Rain: Wind-driven rain bypassing the compromised mortar and entering your roof cavity.
Excessive Mortar in Gutters: Finding sandy, cement-like debris building up in your guttering system.
The right approach
Do I Need Repointing or Full Re-Bedding?
While often talked about together, bedding and pointing are two distinct layers. Harro’s Roofing will inspect your ridge caps to tell you exactly which repair is necessary.
Roof Repointing is suitable when
- The ridge caps are still firmly held in place
- The underlying bedding cement is structurally sound
- Only the outer sealing layer (pointing) has cracked or faded
- You want to upgrade from old cement to flexible pointing
Roof Re-Bedding is required when
- The ridge caps are completely loose or dislodged
- The underlying cement base has crumbled away
- The ridge tiles need to be removed and entirely reset
- The roof alignment has shifted significantly
