Very professional. Thank you for the insight.

I only grind if the cap is rough or if obviously the old pointing is wild. Just a pressure clean with a little electric cleaner suffices for prep

Beautiful work mate. I work on roofs everyday doing solar and roof maintenance (gutter cleaning, panels cleaning, solar bird proofing and minor roof repairs), don’t do much repointing at all but work around it and make small repairs sometimes. I would say the way you guys do it is only some by about 10% of roofers. So many roofs I work on are peeling from the top already when the pointing looks almost new. You can see underneath that the new stuff that the customer payed $3500 to get done is only 2mm thick with zero prep. It’s criminal. I guess that’s not surprising when anybody Is allowed to do it with no qualification or experience. As long as they don’t charge the customer more than $5000 per job they could be hiring a guy who has never stepped foot on a roof before. I saw that once haha. We hired a guy to fix a few broken tiles under the ridge and repoint and when he got up the first story roof he froze. Couldn’t climb the 8 foot ladder up to the second story. I had to go. Up and down it for him while he passed me stuff. This guy had a full van with all roofing and maintenance tools and long ladders and everything. Very odd. With the high demand for roofers these days many companies are saying no to a all jobs m, leaving a gap in the market which will be filled by unqualified guys with no experience. It’s just too much money to pass by if one is open to ripping off their customers and that’s a large proportion of tradies as you know. Luckily there are still plenty of customers who are willing to pair a fair price for good work. They way you guys do it may well actually save the customers money in the long run even if you are charging more than double.

If the same exact tile roof is at an elevation that receives a foot of snow on the roof during the winter time would you still recommend having weep holes on the ridge or would that be a water entry point for a roof with sitting snow on it?

In my rented house I can see 2 thin lines of daylight both sides of these ridge tiles all along the roof and the loft is damp. Is it normal to see daylight next to the ridge tiles or has the cement disappeared?

@ApprenticeGM 3 жыл бұрын

If you can see sky in a direct line looking up, you have a problem - rain can definitely get in. There should however be weep holes (you can see these guys install them when re-pointing) which can let daylight in through holes. You have to determine which is the cause in your place. Best to get on roof and check if you can - if not possible flying a drone is useful and half the neighbourhood kids have them lol.

This is how cowboys point ridges in the UK and is classed as a very poor job.. need to take the old bed out or at least take the mortar back more to give the new mix more thickness and more to space to grip under the tile.. pointing is becoming less now anyway due to dry ridge systems which are far better

@daeyvidd 2 жыл бұрын

@@ETH85 I could understand that trying to repoint butted tiles would be considered lazy. I've never seen lapped ones supposedly from Britain before. I've also never seen a dry ridge system that I'm confident would stop wind blowing water up under the tiles and over the end of the half length tiles at the peak of my roof. The whole "tape is an adequate modern substitute for good building design of the past" also doesn't sit well with me either, if it weren't for those I'd ditch the mortar and go dry ridge too. Do you guys use flexible pointing? I could understand it being deemed not necessary with the relatively stationary ground you guys have up there.

The day after Ridge caps have been Bedded or re/bedded you can lift the caps off with your finger tips. It doesn't hold the caps it is more a bed for them to sit on before the top coat is applied

@@jacobblack7841 lol that’s a hilarious response, I don’t know what sand cement ratio you use but you definitely shouldn’t be able to lift the ridge caps with your finger tips a day after bedding them in, to say they’re only bonded by the Flexi is an absolute joke, the ridges are BEDDED into the cement mix and should remain bonded for at least 20 years if the correct sand cement ratio is used

@GreatYue Жыл бұрын

Roof repointing is causing more harm than good. Rain water would back up into the interior should the cracks after some years. My 45 years-old roof does not have any pointing cement and there is no leak ever. Repainting the roof should be good enough to make it last longer, maybe 10 to 20 more years.

@jacobosborne972 Жыл бұрын

Licensed Roof Tiler here. Repointing is an important part of Roof maintenance. Flexible cement holds the ridgecaps and cut tiles in place and prevents ridges shifting or blowing off in heavy storms. Also, a 45 year old roof is not an old roof and you will likely end up with long term issues such a ridges slowly and making gaps. Aussie roofs come under fierce heat and flexible cement moves with the tiles as they expand when they get hotter Also, REPAINTING a roof does nothing to improve the roof or increase its lifespan, its 2 coats of paint, so it's purely cosmetic. No problem with that, but painting won't stop your ridgecaps blowing off the roof in a heavy storm, correctly applied roof pointing will.
