Local proof points
On homes near busy arterial roads or rail lines, ground vibration is subtle but cumulative. Over 20 to 30 years it works on the adhesion between mortar and tile profile, and eventually the bond fails — usually at the ridge ends and hip junctions first.
Bedding mortar is a sand-cement mix that cures rigid. The Terracotta Tiles roofs common across Ashburton move thermally, structurally and under wind loading — and a material that cannot accommodate that movement will eventually crack. It's basic material mechanics, not a question of if but when.
We cut out failed pointing and bedding back to a sound substrate, re-bed the caps using a polymer-modified mortar, then finish with a flexible pointing compound. The polymer additive means the joint moves with the roof rather than against it.
| Predominant Roof Types | Terracotta Tiles |
| Housing Era | 1940s–1960s inter-war and post-war brick veneer |

| Primary Weather Risk | carbonated ridge bedding and end-of-life pointing on original terracotta stock |
