Signs Your Ridge Capping Needs Attention
Look for gaps or cracks along the ridge lines, crumbling mortar, ridge caps that look uneven, and leaks that appear along the line of a ridge or hip.
Catching failed pointing early means a simple repoint rather than a full rebed, and it stops loose caps from moving or falling in strong winds.
Metal and Colorbond Roof Repairs
Metal roofs usually fail at the small parts first: screws that rust or work loose, washers that perish, flashings that lift and sealant that cracks. Left alone, rust spreads from these points into the sheets.
We replace rusted or loose screws, reseal and refix flashings, and replace damaged sheets where needed. For older metal roofs with widespread surface wear, we can recommend a metal roof restoration instead of piecemeal repairs.
Signs Your Roof Is Ready for Restoration
Fading or patchy colour, lichen across large areas, tiles that stay dark long after rain and cracked pointing on most ridges all mean the surface has worn out.
At that stage, repairing one spot at a time costs more over the years than restoring the whole roof once. If the tiles and battens are still sound, restoration is usually the best-value option.
