Niddrie Roofing & Weather Profile
What We See in Niddrie
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
Differential thermal expansion is the key driver of ridge failure on Terracotta Tiles roofs in Niddrie. The tile material and Portland cement have different coefficients of thermal expansion — over hundreds of wet-dry and heat-cool cycles, the accumulated interfacial stress at the tile-mortar junction causes delamination.
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.
