The Experts In Roof Repointing Your Melbourne Home
Bedding and pointing, commonly known as the re-pointing of a roof, is a crucial aspect of keeping your home watertight.
When it comes to maintaining your roof, the condition of the pointing should be one of the first areas that should be inspected and repaired. The structural integrity of the pointing is one of the most important aspects of a roof. If left un-maintained it can lead to water leaks and further damage to the timberwork, electrical, insulation and the ceiling plaster below!
Does my roof need re-bedding or re-pointing?
Depending on the age and condition of the existing bedding & pointing it may require a full re-bed, a partial re-bed or no bedding at all. Every roof is different, and the best way to determine the appropriate solution is to give us a call and book us in for a comprehensive inspection of your pointing.
What is bedding and pointing?
The bedding is the first layer or foundation used to hold down the ridge cappings and gable tiles. If the existing bedding is in a good strong condition then it may be a better option to just re-point, every roof is different and the best decision can be made upon inspection.
The second and final layer is called flexible pointing. The flexible pointing is applied over the bedding. As the name states, it’s flexible which means there will be no cracking due to the harsh Australian elements. Flexible pointing can be chosen in any colour to match your roof and it gives the whole roof a great looking facelift when applied correctly.
Don’t be fooled!
It is important to always remember if it sounds too good to be true, then it probably is! There are many companies out there that won’t re-bed a roof when required to do so. This will lead to problems in the not-too-distant future. We will always be transparent with the client from the moment we inspect the roof as to what exactly is required.
Just remember.
Repointing is an art form, and takes many hours to perfect. A good re-pointing job takes both time and skill. At roof guard we are extremely proud of our pointing quality. In fact, our safety guard rail installer who sees different roofs from different companies every day, mentioned to us that we have the neatest pointing he has ever seen, hands down!
