How Ridge Capping Works in Tighes Hill

We inspect all ridge lines, hips, and valleys for cracked mortar, shifted caps, broken caps, and water entry points.
Preparation
We remove old, cracked mortar and clean the ridge cap surfaces to ensure proper adhesion of new bedding material.
Re-Bed & Re-Point
Ridge caps are re-bedded with flexible compound and pointed with a UV-stable flexible sealant for long-lasting performance.
Quality Check
We inspect every cap for secure fixing and complete seal, clean up all debris, and provide warranty documentation.
About Ridge Capping in Tighes Hill

The industrial history of the region, combined with proximity to the harbour, leads to specific issues like coal-dust corrosion on roofing materials. We understand how these environmental factors impact local roof integrity for residents and business owners.
Salt and coal-dust corrosion near the harbour often compromises the integrity of roof structures in Tighes Hill. Tradetek Solutions provides specific ridge capping repairs to address these environmental impacts. We ensure your roof remains watertight, preventing water ingress into the timber framing typical of the workers' cottages found throughout the 2297 postcode.
