Strengthen Your Tiled Roof
When mortar starts breaking down, moisture finds its way in—and you often won’t spot it until the damage is well underway. That’s why roof capping repairs aren’t just cosmetic. Repointing your ridge caps protects against leaks, mould, and tile movement, especially during strong winds or heavy rain. It also boosts the longevity of your whole tiled roof.
We use materials that flex with the roof rather than crack under pressure, which means fewer future repairs and longer life from your investment. Over time, unsealed gaps can also invite pests and allow insulation to deteriorate—issues that go well beyond the roof itself.
A proper fix isn’t just about sticking things back in place—it’s about making your roof stronger than before. And with the right approach, this kind of repair can significantly extend the lifespan of your roof system without a full replacement.
FAQ
Everything You Need To Know
How do I know if my ridge caps need repair?
Look for cracked mortar, gaps along the roofline, loose or dislodged tiles near the ridge, or signs of leaks inside your home. You might also see moss growth or crumbling sections on the roof.
Even if these signs are subtle, it’s worth getting a professional assessment—damage around ridge caps often worsens after storms or heavy winds. Over time, it can also affect surrounding tiles, causing widespread issues if not fixed early.
What is involved in roof capping repair?
Roof capping repair (or repointing) involves removing any loose or damaged mortar, securely resetting ridge caps, and applying a flexible pointing material that bonds and seals.
This material is designed to handle natural roof movement and expansion. The process may also include replacing any broken tiles and inspecting adjacent sections to prevent further issues. A quality job restores both the structure and appearance of your tiled roof and improves weather resistance.
How long does roof repointing last?
With modern materials and proper application, repointing can last 10-15 years. Flexible pointing compounds move with the roof, which reduces cracking from temperature changes or building movement.
Regular inspections can catch small issues early, helping extend the lifespan of your ridge caps even further. Keeping gutters clean and addressing any roof movement early also helps maximise the lifespan of your repointing work.
