Hilldene Roofing & Weather Profile

What We See in Hilldene

After a significant wind event, ridge caps often shift laterally — not enough to fall, but enough to break the pointing joint. The cap looks intact from the street but the seal underneath is gone and the next rain goes straight through.

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 Hilldene home and the cumulative movement is significant. Pointing that cannot flex absorbs that movement as stress and eventually shears.

How We Fix It

On the heritage Concrete Tiles roofs common in Hilldene we colour-match the pointing compound to the original mortar tone. Beyond aesthetics, using the correct porosity and flexibility grade prevents the stress concentration at the tile-mortar interface that mismatched materials create.

"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."
