About ridge capping and repointing
The mortar bedding under ridge capping cracks with decades of roof movement, letting caps loosen and water in; it is the single most common tiled-roof failure. Modern repointing uses flexible compound over fresh bedding and outlasts the old rigid mortar by years. Loose caps are also a wind hazard, so this is not a cosmetic job.
Getting quotes in Hoddle
When you enquire about ridge capping and repointing, describe the job specifically: what is happening, how long it has been going on, and anything you have already tried. That detail helps a provider assess the request and may improve quote accuracy if they respond.
Local knowledge counts
If the timing for ridge capping and repointing is flexible, include that in the Hoddle request and ask whether it changes availability or price. The provider remains responsible for confirming both.
Quick answers
How do I know if my roof needs restoring or replacing?+
Tiles that are merely dirty, mossy or have failed pointing restore well; tiles that are porous and crumbling, or metal sheets rusted through, need replacement. A roofer should show you photos from on the roof, not just a drone-shot sales pitch. If more than a small fraction of tiles are cracked, price both options.
Do roofers need to be licensed?+
Roof plumbing, guttering, downpipes and flashings, is licensed work in most states, and building work above certain values needs a licensed builder or roofing contractor. Ask for the licence and public liability insurance before anyone climbs. Door-knockers offering same-day restoration deals after storms are a well-worn scam pattern.
Can a roof be repaired in the rain?+
Emergency make-safe work, tarps and temporary sealing, happens in the wet, but proper repairs, coatings and pointing need dry surfaces to bond. Expect a two-stage response for a mid-storm leak: make safe now, repair on the next dry day. Insurers understand this pattern and cover both stages of legitimate storm claims.
