What is Ridge Cap Re-Bedding
For Tiled Roofs?
Ridge caps are the most important parts of a tiled roof, covering the roof ridge where two sides meet. These ridge tiles protect the underlying mortar, hold roof tiles securely in place, and provide a watertight seal. Over time, cement mortar can weaken, leaving visible cracks or damaged mortar that affect the structural integrity of the roof.
Re-bedding is the process of removing old mortar, cleaning the ridge tiles, and applying fresh mortar to secure the ridge caps firmly back into place. Once complete, the re pointing stage applies flexible pointing for a watertight seal. This rebedding and repointing process prevents badly cracked bedding, weakened ridge capping, and other issues that can lead to costly repairs.
Signs You Need Ridge Cap
Re-Bedding in Melbourne
There are several factors that show your tiled roof may need ridge cap work. Signs include cracked mortar, weakened ridge capping, or ridge caps shifting out of position. Loose roof tiles near the ridge or visible cracks along bedding lines are also warnings that the mortar has failed.
If left untreated, old mortar and damaged mortar can cause water ingress, leaks, and other issues that harm your home’s interior. Timely bedding and pointing restore the structural integrity of your roof, provide long lasting results, and prevent costly water damage.
