What We See in Croydon

Flexible polymer pointing has only been in common use in Melbourne for the last 15 to 20 years. The overwhelming majority of homes we quote still have the original rigid cement pointing, which has a finite service life regardless of how well the original work was done.

Why It Happens

Without a polymer flex additive, cement bedding is essentially a brittle beam in bending when wind load is applied to a ridge cap. Its tensile strength is low — it fails in tension across the underside of the bedding bed, exactly where you cannot see the damage from above.

How We Fix It

Every ridge cap is manually pressed and checked for movement before we start pointing. Any cap with compromised bedding gets fully re-seated in fresh mortar first — pointing over a loose cap is a callback waiting to happen. The pointing pass is done separately once the bedding has cured.

"True Roof fixed a leak that three other companies couldn't find. Incredibly thorough inspection, identified the real cause and repaired it properly. No more ceiling stains. Five stars, easy."

"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."
