What Is Ridge Capping and When Does It Need Re-Pointing?

By @caidendpbs816

For homeowners across South-East Queensland, the roof over your head does far more than provide shade—it is your first line of defence against subtropical storms, intense ultraviolet radiation, and torrential downpours. Among the most critical components of any tiled roof is the ridge capping . When functioning properly, it keeps your roof watertight and structurally sound. However, over time, the materials binding these caps together degrade, leaving your home vulnerable

Walk through almost any suburb in Brisbane, the Gold Coast, the Sunshine Coast, Ipswich or Logan and you will spot roofs with dark streaks, black patches or green and orange discolouration. These marks are not just cosmetic. They are living organisms, and South-East Queensland's climate gives them close to ideal conditions to grow.

Few places in Australia combine sunshine, surf and coastal living as well as the Gold Coast.

Salt-laden air, high humidity, strong UV radiation and regular storms all work together to accelerate corrosion. Understanding how salt air affects your roof helps you choose the right materials, maintain them properly and avoid costly premature replacement. Why
