Ridge Capping Adelaide
Re-bed and re-point ridge caps using flexible pointing for 15+ year service.
Ridge caps sit at the peak of every tile roof and they fail predictably - the sand-and-cement bedding cracks, pointing flakes off, and caps eventually lift. Modern flexible pointing (typically a polymer-modified product) lasts much longer than traditional rigid cement and handles tile movement properly.
When you need ridge capping
- Ridge caps visibly cracked or sagging
- Pointing has crumbled away
- Caps have lifted at one end
- Roof is 20+ years old and ridges have never been re-bedded
What's included in a proper quote
- Remove all existing ridge caps
- Strip existing sand and cement bedding
- Re-bed each cap with fresh sand and cement
- Re-point with flexible polymer pointing
- Touch-up paint to match existing roof colour where required
Adelaide-specific considerations
Adelaide's temperature swings (5C winter nights to 42C summer days) crack rigid cement pointing within 15-20 years. Flexible pointing handles the movement and is the modern standard.
