Why ridges crack near the coast
Strong winds off Corio Bay and Bass Strait flex ridge caps, and the old sand-and-cement bedding cracks and washes out. We re-bed loose caps and re-point with flexible compound that moves with the roof. Salt air, coastal wind and long summer sun are hard on Geelong roofs. Ridge mortar dries out and cracks, coatings chalk and fade, and gutters near the water rust from the inside out.

Roof re-pointing Geelong FAQs
How do I know my ridge caps need re-pointing?
Cracks along the ridge, loose caps, mortar bits in the gutter or ceiling stains after a southerly storm are the usual signs.
Do I need to re-bed or just re-point?
If caps are loose we re-bed them first. If the bedding is sound, re-pointing alone does the job. We'll show you photos.
Will the colour match my tiles?
Yes, flexible pointing comes in colours to match most Geelong terracotta and concrete tiles.
How long does it take?
Most Geelong homes are done in 1–2 days.
