Ridgeline Ridge Capping, Repointing & Rebedding
Ridge capping sits in mortar that the coast's sun, salt and southerlies slowly crack apart. When the pointing goes, caps loosen and water finds the bedding. Caught early it is a day's work; ignored, it is the lid coming off in the next big blow.
What this job includes.
- ✓Loose capping lifted and rebedded on fresh mortar
- ✓Flexible pointing compound, not rigid mortar that re-cracks
- ✓Cracked and slipped tiles replaced along the ridges
- ✓Valley and hip capping checked and corrected
- ✓Photo report of every ridge line, before and after
On the roof first, then a fixed price.
No driveway guesses. We climb the roof, photograph what is failing, and put the scope, the materials and the price in writing before any work starts.
- 1 The inspection report. Photos from on your roof showing exactly what is failing and what is still sound. Not a guess from the driveway.
- 2 The fix, itemised. Materials by name (the Colorbond colour, the membrane brand, the screw class) and labour for the whole job. No "from" pricing.
- 3 The edges of the job. What is not included, named up front: gutters, skylights, solar removal and reinstatement. No surprise lines later.
- 4 The guarantee. 10-year workmanship in writing, plus the manufacturer warranty on sheets, tiles or membrane registered to you.
