How It Works
Getting professional roofing help is easy. Here's our straightforward 4-step process from first contact to job completion.
Ridge Inspection
We inspect all ridge capping along every ridge line on your roof, identifying areas of failed bedding, cracked pointing, loose caps, and any broken ridge cap pieces needing replacement.
Removal & Preparation
We carefully remove all old, failed bedding and pointing, clean the ridge surfaces, and replace any broken ridge cap pieces with matching tiles where possible.
Re-Bed & Re-Point
Ridge caps are re-bedded with fresh mortar and, once set, all joints are re-pointed with premium flexible pointing compound. We work systematically along every ridge line.
Final Inspection
We inspect the completed work to ensure consistent bedding, full pointing coverage, and a neat finish. All debris is cleaned from the roof and gutters, and your ridge capping is restored.

Professional Roofing Services You Can Trust
Ridge capping sits along the peak of your roof where two roof planes meet, sealing this critical junction against weather while allowing ventilation. Over time, the cement bedding and pointing that secures ridge caps deteriorates — cracking, crumbling, and eventually falling away. Tradetek Solutions re-beds and re-points ridge capping using modern flexible compounds that move with the roof, providing a lasting seal that outlasts traditional rigid cement many times over.
We remove all deteriorated cement bedding and pointing, clean the ridge, and re-bed ridge caps with fresh mortar on a continuous bed. Once set, we apply flexible pointing compound along all joints. The flexible compound is the key — unlike rigid cement that cracks from thermal movement, flexible pointing moves with the tiles, maintaining its seal for years.
Common Roofing Issues We Solve
1Cracked & Crumbling Cement Pointing
Traditional cement pointing cracks due to thermal expansion and contraction of roof tiles. Pieces of pointing fall into gutters and expose the ridge to water entry. Flexible re-pointing is the permanent solution.
2Loose or Displaced Ridge Caps
When bedding mortar fails completely, ridge caps become loose and can blow off in strong winds, leaving the roof ridge completely exposed to rain. Emergency repair is needed.
3Water Entry at Ridge
Failed pointing allows water to enter the roof cavity at the highest point, where it can travel a long way along timbers before dripping through the ceiling, making leak source detection difficult.
4Pest Entry Through Ridge Gaps
Gaps in ridge capping from missing mortar allow birds, possums, and insects to enter the roof cavity. Re-bedding and re-pointing seals these entry points completely.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about our roofing services answered by our experts
What is the difference between re-bedding and re-pointing?
What is the difference between re-bedding and re-pointing?
Re-bedding is replacing the thick mortar bed that secures the ridge cap to the roof tiles. Re-pointing is filling the visible joint between the ridge cap and tiles with a flexible compound. Both are usually done together for a complete, lasting repair.
How long does flexible pointing last?
How long does flexible pointing last?
Quality flexible pointing compounds are rated for 15-25 years depending on the product and exposure. This is significantly longer than rigid cement pointing, which often cracks within 5-10 years. The flexibility is what provides this superior longevity.
Can you just re-point without re-bedding?
Can you just re-point without re-bedding?
If the bedding mortar is still sound and the ridge caps are secure, re-pointing alone may be sufficient. However, if the bedding is cracked or deteriorated, both re-bedding and re-pointing are necessary for a proper, lasting repair.
How often does ridge capping need maintenance?
How often does ridge capping need maintenance?
With flexible pointing, ridge capping should last 15-25 years. With traditional cement, it often needs attention every 8-12 years. We check ridge cap condition during all roof inspections and maintenance visits.
Do you match the pointing colour to my roof?
Do you match the pointing colour to my roof?
Yes, flexible pointing compound is available in multiple colours to match or complement your roof tiles. We select a colour that blends seamlessly for an aesthetically pleasing result.
