    Look After Your Roof Ridge Capping

    Ridge caps and their supporting mortar are exposed to movement and weather. Cracked bedding, loose caps and deteriorated pointing should be assessed before choosing a repair. Steve explains whether repointing, rebedding or other local attention is appropriate for the roof.

    Roof Rebedding and Repointing FAQs

    What is the difference between bedding and pointing?

    Bedding is the supporting mortar beneath ridge caps. Pointing is the flexible finishing compound applied along the bedding joints.

    Can damaged bedding simply be pointed over?

    Not always. Loose caps or deteriorated supporting mortar may require rebedding first. The roof condition must be assessed.

    Does every ridge cap need to be removed?

    The scope depends on the condition of the caps and supporting bedding. Steve explains the recommended work after assessment.

    How much does rebedding and repointing cost?

    The quote depends on ridge length, roof condition, access and the work required. Ask for a written quote for your property.
