Protect your home with durable ridge capping repairs and replacements waterproofing your roof's peak for lasting performance
Ridge capping is the curved or angled tile that covers the peak or hips of your tiled roof. Over time, the mortar holding these caps in place can crack, shift, or wear away due to weather exposure.
At Longlife Roofs, we provide expert re-bedding and repointing services to restore the strength and stability of your ridge caps. Our team uses flexible pointing compounds and modern methods to prevent movement, stop water ingress, and extend the life of your tiled roof.
We provide complete ridge cap replacement services to strengthen tiled roofs and protect them from future damage. Whether your roof is older or recently installed, we tailor the work to suit its current condition.
We inspect your roof’s ridge lines for fixing ridge capping needs, checking loose tiles, cracked mortar, and signs of shifting. This helps decide whether full re-bedding or repointing suffices. Early detection prevents broader roof issues.
If the mortar holding the ridge caps has failed, we carefully remove it and apply fresh bedding. This creates a stable base for the ridge tiles and keeps them securely in place. Proper bedding ensures your roof remains strong against wind and rain.
We apply a flexible pointing compound along the joints to seal the ridge caps. This material allows for slight movement and prevents cracking over time. Flexible pointing also improves the weather resistance and finish of your roof.
For cracked ridge capping fix, we target only damaged sections to cut costs while protecting your home. We match the pointing colour for a seamless look.
After the repair work is complete, we clean up all old mortar and debris from the roof. We also flush your gutters and downpipes to remove any blocked material. The job is finished with a tidy site and clear drainage.
Have you noticed loose ridge tiles or cracked mortar on your roof? Timely ridge capping repairs can prevent leaks, tile movement, and costly structural damage.
We follow a step-by-step process to ensure each ridge capping repair is completed safely, correctly, and to a high standard. Every stage is handled by licensed roofers with experience in tiled roof maintenance.
We inspect all ridge caps, mortar bedding, and pointing for signs of wear, cracks, or movement. This helps us plan the right repair method based on your roof’s condition.
Any loose, cracked, or deteriorated bedding is carefully removed by hand or with tools. We take care not to disturb surrounding tiles or cause further damage during this step.
When the original bedding has failed, we lay a new cement mortar base to hold the ridge caps firmly. This step ensures a stable and long-lasting foundation for the caps.
We apply a flexible pointing compound over the joints to seal and secure the ridge caps. This material adjusts to roof movement, helping prevent future cracking.
Once the work is complete, we check for proper alignment, adhesion, and finish. We then remove debris and clean the area, leaving your roof tidy and protected.
We take great pride in offering our services in the following areas:
Ridge capping is the protective covering placed along the peak of your roof to prevent water from entering the roof structure. It ensures the roof remains secure and watertight, preventing leaks and damage from weather elements
If you notice cracked, loose, or missing ridge caps, or if your roof is leaking at the ridge, it’s likely time for ridge cap replacement. An inspection by a professional roofer can confirm if replacement is necessary.
Signs that your ridge capping needs fixing include water leaks, visible cracks in the ridge caps, or if the caps are loose and shifting. If you spot any of these issues, it’s essential to get your ridge capping repaired as soon as possible to prevent further damage.
Cracked ridge capping can often be fixed, depending on the extent of the damage. Minor cracks can be sealed with roofing cement, but severe cracks or large sections of damaged ridge capping may require full replacement to ensure the roof remains watertight
