Roof Pointing
Re-pointing of ridge tiles and chimney stacks to keep mortar joints weathertight and secure.
Roof Pointing
The mortar pointing that holds ridge tiles, hip tiles, and chimney stacks in place takes a constant battering from wind, rain, and frost. Over time it cracks, crumbles, and eventually fails, allowing tiles to shift or come loose entirely, and letting water track into the roof structure below.
Our roof pointing service involves carefully raking out old, failed mortar and repointing with a properly mixed, weather-resistant mortar, bedding ridge and hip tiles securely back into place. For added protection against frost damage and cracking, we also offer flexible pointing systems as a modern alternative to traditional sand and cement mortar.
This is one of those jobs that's easy to overlook from ground level, but small cracks in pointing are frequently the first stage of a much bigger, more expensive problem, so it's well worth having checked regularly.

Common Questions About Our Services
A few things homeowners often ask us before booking a job. Still not sure? Just give us a call.
It usually comes down to the age and overall condition of the roof, not just the single issue you've noticed. If problems are isolated and the roof structure and covering are otherwise sound, a repair is normally the right call. If your roof is older, repairs are becoming frequent, or damage is widespread, a re-roof is often more cost-effective long term. We'll always give you an honest recommendation, not just the more expensive option.
We work with the full range of common roofing materials found across Yorkshire, including natural slate, concrete and clay tiles, interlocking tiles, felt and torch-on flat roofing systems, single-ply membranes, and lead flashing. We'll advise on the best material for your property, budget, and the style of surrounding buildings.
For most roofing work, no, since the work takes place outside on the roof itself. We just ask for reasonable access to your property and garden where needed for scaffolding or equipment. We'll always confirm exactly what's required before the job starts.
A straightforward repair might take a few hours to a day. Gutter and fascia work is often completed within a day or two. A full re-roof on an average semi-detached home typically takes one to two weeks, depending on size, weather, and the scope of work involved. We'll give you a clear timeframe as part of your quote.
Yes, always. Full site clean-up and responsible disposal of all waste materials, old tiles, felt, timber, and general debris, is included as standard in every job we carry out, no matter the size.
Yes. Every roofer on our team is fully qualified and experienced, and we carry full public liability insurance on all jobs, large or small. We're happy to provide proof of insurance and qualifications on request before any work begins, so you can hire with confidence.
Every job we complete, from a small repair to a full re-roof, comes with a written guarantee. If anything isn't right, you get in touch and we'll come back and put it right at no extra cost, for the full length of the guarantee period.
