Ridge Condition Profile
Glenroy Roofing & Weather Profile
What We See in Glenroy
In Glenroy, where the housing stock runs predominantly to 1950s–1970s post-war brick veneer, the Concrete Tiles ridge capping mortar has often been in place since the original builder walked off-site. After 30 to 40 years of wet-dry cycles, that original mix carbonates through and cracks across its full face — it's the norm on these roofs, not the exception.
Why It Happens
The bond between mortar and tile depends on the surface porosity of the tile and the water-cement ratio of the original mix. Old terracotta is highly porous — it absorbs moisture from the mortar during curing, which weakens the interfacial bond even when the mix proportions are correct.
How We Fix It
All mortar debris is bagged from the roof surface before we leave. Fragments left on tiles will scratch the surface as they shift with weather, and in gutters they block downpipes within months. Clean-up is built into the job.
