The Problem with the Roof
This property had a common issue seen in many older Canberra homes:
- Loose ridge caps
- Cracked and deteriorating mortar
- Increased risk of water entry
- Potential tile movement during strong winds
These issues, if left untreated, can quickly lead to roof leaks and structural damage.
Our Roofing Solution
We carried out a full rebedding and repointing process:
- Removed loose and unstable ridge caps
- Re-bedded ridge caps using fresh mortar
- Applied flexible pointing compound for durability
- Ensured proper alignment and sealing
This method provides a stronger and more flexible finish compared to traditional mortar alone.
Final Outcome
The roof is now:
- Structurally secure
- Properly sealed against water entry
- Resistant to movement and cracking
- Better prepared for Canberra weather conditions
This significantly reduces the risk of future leaks.
Why Rebedding & Repointing is Important
Ridge caps play a critical role in roof stability. Over time, mortar can crack and weaken.
Repointing helps:
- Extend roof lifespan
- Prevent leaks
- Maintain structural integrity
Regular maintenance like this can prevent costly repairs later.
If you’ve noticed loose ridge caps or cracked mortar, it’s best to address it early.
