Wattle Park Roofing & Weather Profile

What We See in Wattle Park

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

Salt crystallisation is a mechanical weathering process. Salt in solution enters mortar pores when the roof is wet and crystallises as it dries. The crystals expand under formation pressure and generate internal stress that fractures the mortar from the inside — the damage is invisible until the surface spalls.

How We Fix It

The pointing profile we apply is a weathered bead — slightly recessed from the cap edge and tooled to direct water away from the tile face. A flush or proud pointing bead is a common cause of water undercutting the joint, and it's straightforward to get right during application.

"True Roof fixed a leak that three other companies couldn't find. Incredibly thorough inspection, identified the real cause and repaired it properly. No more ceiling stains. Five stars, easy."

"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."
