RJ Evans Flat Roofing Limited provides roof pointing for residential and commercial pitched roofs to secure ridge, hip, and verge tiles, prevent water ingress, and restore weather-resistant mortar joints. Roof pointing, also known as roof repointing, is the process of removing and replacing deteriorated mortar around ridge tiles, hip tiles, verge tiles, and other mortar-bedded roof details. These joints help secure the tiles and protect vulnerable roof junctions from wind-driven rain and continued weather exposure. Over time, mortar can crack, loosen, erode, or separate from adjoining tiles because of frost, temperature changes, moisture, movement, and general weathering. Defective pointing can allow tiles to become unstable and create openings through which water can enter the roof structure.
During roof pointing, loose and failed mortar is carefully removed before the surrounding surfaces are cleaned and prepared. Fresh mortar is then applied, shaped, and finished around the affected tiles to restore secure bedding, close exposed joints, and reinstate the weather-resistant detail. RJ Evans Flat Roofing Limited carries out roof pointing to stabilise pitched-roof components, protect the roof underlay and structure from moisture penetration, and extend the service life of ridge, hip, and verge details.
Roof pointing involves applying a finishing layer, typically mortar, to seal and secure the joints between roof tiles or slates and ridge or hip tiles. Over time, the mortar used to fix these tiles can crack or weaken due to weathering, leaving the roof exposed to water penetration and potential structural issues. Pointing helps prevent leaks and ensures the roof’s stability by filling gaps or cracks between the tiles, maintaining a tight seal.
A modern alternative called flexible pointing is now frequently used in roofing, offering better resistance to movement caused by weather or temperature changes. According to the National Federation of Roofing Contractors (NFRC), flexible pointing is more durable and requires less upkeep than traditional mortar. Roof pointing is crucial for preserving the longevity and performance of a roof, especially in areas with heavy rainfall or harsh weather conditions. Properly applied pointing can extend the lifespan of a roof by up to 10-15 years, depending on the materials and quality of installation.
