Hairline mortar cracks widen every season as heat, wind, and rain move the roof.
Cracked Pointing Is A Leak Waiting For Rain.
Loose ridge caps and split mortar give water a direct route under your tiles. Repoint early before a narrow crack becomes ceiling stains and rotten battens.
Loss prevention
The ridge line is one of the first places Melbourne roofs fail.
Loose ridge caps can let wind-driven rain run straight under surrounding tiles.
Repointing now protects the roof cavity before plaster repairs join the bill.
Fix the mortar now. Avoid the ceiling bill later.

Cracked mortar is a slow-motion interior flood.
A hairline crack in ridge pointing looks minor. But every Melbourne downpour pushes water through that gap and into the roof cavity. Over months, insulation gets waterlogged, plaster softens, and ceiling cornice begins to fail. By the time the stain appears on your ceiling, the damage has already spread further than you can see. Repointing the ridge today, for a fraction of the cost, closes the door on that entire cascade before it starts.
We'll inspect the ridge and tell you honestly what needs doing.

"Got three quotes. True Roof wasn't the cheapest but was clearly the most professional. 10-year warranty sealed the deal. 6 months later, not a single issue."
