Most houses in Melbourne have their roof tiles fixed in place, which fit naturally. This is known as roof pointing and while these tiles do not require the aid of any form of adhesive or bonding material, the ridge caps however, use a platform or bed of mortar to hold the ridge caps firmly and in place. Mortar is typically a combination of cement and sand and while it is still in use, most modern houses use an advanced pointing material to get the job done. This new material is stronger and overall better than mortar. Either way, the bedding plays in huge role in avoiding leaks. The harsh climate in Melbourne isn’t too kind, unfortunately. With the course of time, the ridge caps become brittle and weak due to environmental factors, variations in temperature and climatic conditions and erosion. Accordingly, the ridge caps can get separated which results in the formation of cracks and leakage in the roof bedding. Not paying attention to this can compromise your roof! This is why your house needs roof rebedding, a very important part of roof restoration. For such a critical job, you need nothing less than the best. In other words, you need Smart Choice Roof Restorations.
