Cracked ridge capping re-bedded and re-pointed

Weathered terracotta tile roof with cracked and crumbling cement pointing along the ridge capping
BeforeAfter

Old cement pointing had cracked and washed out along the ridge, letting wind-driven rain track under the capping and into the roof space.

Work carried out

  • Lifted and cleaned the existing ridge capping
  • Re-bedded capping on fresh mortar to a straight line
  • Applied flexible pointing rated for roof movement
  • Replaced two cracked tiles either side of the ridge

Gutter replacement

Rusted gutter replaced with new Colorbond guttering

Rusted, sagging gutter packed with leaf litter along a tiled roof edge
BeforeAfter

The original gutter had rusted through at the joins and lost its fall, so water spilled behind the fascia every time it rained.

Work carried out

  • Removed the old gutter and cleared the eaves line
  • Checked and repaired fascia where water had been sitting
  • Installed new Colorbond guttering with correct fall
  • Re-fitted downpipes and tested with a hose

Storm damage

Storm-damaged tiles replaced after branch impact

Same section of roof with matching replacement tiles laid and debris cleared

BeforeAfter

A falling limb broke several tiles and left the roof open to the next band of rain, so the section was made safe and then repaired properly.

Work carried out

  • Cleared branch debris and made the area safe
  • Replaced broken tiles with matching stock
  • Checked sarking and battens underneath for damage
  • Photographed the damage for the owner's records

  • Removed the old corroded sheeting
  • Inspected and repaired battens where required
  • Installed new Colorbond sheeting with sealed fixings
  • Replaced ridge and barge flashings

Roof leak repairs

Blocked, rusted valley replaced with new valley iron

Same valley with clean new Colorbond valley iron and re-cut tiles either side
Roof valley packed with leaf litter and rusted through along the base
BeforeAfter

Years of leaf litter had held moisture against the valley iron until it rusted through, sending water into the ceiling below.

Work carried out

  • Lifted tiles along both sides of the valley
  • Removed the corroded valley iron
  • Installed new valley iron with correct laps
  • Re-cut and re-laid tiles, then flood-tested

Roof restoration

Faded concrete tile roof cleaned, re-pointed and coated

Same roof after cleaning, re-pointing and coating, with new guttering
Faded concrete tile roof streaked with mould and lichen, with tired ridge capping
BeforeAfter

The roof was structurally sound but heavily weathered, so a full restoration made more sense than replacement.

Work carried out

  • High-pressure cleaned the tile surface
  • Replaced broken tiles and re-bedded ridge capping
  • Applied flexible pointing, then primer and coating
  • Replaced guttering as part of the same works
