Ridge detail repairs
Ridge Capping & Repointing in Mandurah
Ridge caps sit across the highest joins in a tiled roof. Their bedding and pointing need to hold the caps securely and shed water cleanly.
Service focus
Repair loose ridge caps and renew deteriorated pointing on tiled roofs.
Cracked, loose or deteriorated pointing can leave gaps around ridge caps. The right scope depends on whether the issue is limited to the outer pointing or whether the ridge caps and bedding below also need attention. Painting over a crack is not the same as repairing a failed ridge detail.
Ridge caps and repointing are core work for Mandurah Roofing Services. The affected ridge detail needs to be made sound and left with a clean finished line. Adjacent tiles and junctions matter too, because movement or damage nearby can change the repair required.
From the ground, you may be able to see open cracks, missing sections or a visibly uneven ridge line. Keep the inspection at ground level. Share a clear photo if possible and explain whether there is also an internal leak, loose material around the property or recent storm damage.

A practical start
Start with the details Shane can work from.
- 01
Check the visible condition
Photos can show whether the problem appears localised or runs along a longer ridge section.
- 02
Assess cap and bedding condition
The repair scope depends on what is loose or deteriorated beneath the visible surface.
- 03
Finish the ridge line cleanly
The affected ridge detail is repaired to restore a sound, tidy roof line.
For safety, keep roof observations and photos at ground level. Do not walk on a wet, damaged or unfamiliar roof.
Ridge Capping & Repointing FAQ
Questions before you call.
What is roof repointing?
Repointing renews the outer material around ridge caps where it has cracked or deteriorated. The condition beneath it determines how broad the repair needs to be.
Does every cracked ridge need full rebedding?
No single answer fits every roof. The ridge caps, bedding and surrounding tiles need to be checked before deciding the scope.
Can I photograph the ridge from the ground?
Yes. A zoomed ground-level photo is useful. Do not climb onto the roof to take one.
