Ridge Condition Profile
Lalor Roofing & Weather Profile
What We See in Lalor
The pointing bead that covers the edge between the bedding mortar and the ridge cap is the first line of defence against water tracking into the tile course. On the majority of older roofs I walk, that bead has cracked or pulled away from the tile face — it looks minor from the ground, but water finds the gap immediately.
Why It Happens
Lime-based mortars used in pre-1950s homes are more permeable than modern cement mixes — they breathe rather than trap moisture. When they fail, they tend to wash out gradually. Replacing them with rigid cement creates a stiffness mismatch that concentrates stress at the tile-mortar interface and accelerates localised failure.
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.
