Burnside Roofing & Weather Profile

What We See in Burnside

The 1990s–2010s planned estate homes housing built across suburbs like Burnside was constructed quickly and in volume, with variable aggregate in the mortar mix and variable workmanship. That inconsistency means homes of the same age and type can be in very different states of repair — you don't really know until you walk it.

Why It Happens

A cracked pointing bead exposes the bedding mortar to direct rainfall impact. Bedding mix is not designed for repeated wetting — prolonged saturation reduces its compressive strength and eventually causes delamination of the cap from the bed, meaning the cap is held only by its own weight and friction.

How We Fix It

On properties with a heritage overlay we source matching terracotta or concrete cap profiles where replacement is required. Using the wrong profile is both a council compliance issue and a water-shedding issue — ridge cap geometry is designed for a specific tile system.

"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."
