Ferntree Gully Roofing & Weather Profile

What We See in Ferntree Gully

On double-hip roofs, the junction between the main ridge and the hip ridges carries mortar load from two directions simultaneously. That complexity makes it harder to compact the bedding properly at installation, and it's consistently where I find the first significant failure on these roof profiles.

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

After re-bedding and pointing we run a final check on all hip-to-ridge junctions — that's where water concentrates and where any gaps in the fresh pointing will be exposed first. Those junctions get a secondary bead of flexible sealant as an additional barrier.

"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."
