What We See in Blackburn

Hip and valley junctions are the hardest-working sections on a tiled roof — they concentrate water flow and carry more structural movement than anywhere else. On Melbourne's established period homes, the pointing along these joints is reliably the first to fail.

Why It Happens

A single Concrete Tiles tile can expand by 0.5 to 1mm over a hot Melbourne summer day. Multiply that across a 10-cap ridge run on a Blackburn home and the cumulative movement is significant. Pointing that cannot flex absorbs that movement as stress and eventually shears.

How We Fix It

Where we find evidence of over-pointing — fresh material applied on top of failed old pointing — we remove both layers completely. Over-pointing adds weight to the roof without restoring the bond to the tile, and the underlying failure continues beneath it.

"Got three quotes. True Roof wasn't the cheapest but was clearly the most professional. 10-year warranty sealed the deal. 6 months later, not a single issue."
