Ridge Capping Auckland
Ridge Caps Keep the Top of Your Roof Sealed
The ridges and hips are where roof planes meet, and they are some of the most exposed parts of the roof. On tiled roofs, ridge caps sit on mortar bedding and are sealed with pointing. Over time the bedding cracks and the pointing breaks down, letting water in and allowing caps to come loose in strong wind.
On metal roofs, ridge and hip flashings can lift, rust or lose fixings. Either way, a failing ridge is a common source of leaks.
Signs Your Ridge Capping Needs Work
Cracked or missing pointing, loose or rocking caps, mortar pieces in the spouting, and leaks near the top of internal walls.
Our Ridge Capping Work
For tile roofs we remove loose caps, clean off old bedding, re-bed them and apply flexible pointing that moves with the roof. For metal roofs we re-fix or replace ridge and hip flashings and check the soakers and fixings underneath.
