Find A Quick Way To Roof Restoration
Ridge capping covers the ridge of the roof, or where two tiled roof surfaces meet. Ridge capping is necessary to seal the gap so the roof is watertight. The condition of the ridge capping will determine its functionality. Over time, the mortar bedding and flexible pointing (flexible cement type product) deteriorate, and can become loose, cracked and fall away. This leaves gaps in the roof where water can penetrate and will most likely result in costly water/moisture damage to the roof and ceilings below. Loose tiles can also become dislodged in heavy storms creating a much larger opening to the roof where the risk of damage is much higher. Ridge capping that is in poor condition with misaligned ridge caps and cracked mortar can also make the building look old and poorly maintained.
