What is Roof Bedding and Pointing

What is Roof Bedding and Pointing

Roof bedding and pointing are both necessary processes in the maintenance and repair of tiled roofing.

Roof Bedding

Roof bedding refers to the layer of mortar or other adhesive material that is used to secure the roof tiles to the roof’s timber or felt underlay. The bedding is typically applied in a continuous strip along the length of the roof and provides a stable base for the tiles to sit on.

Pointing

Roof pointing, on the other hand, is the process of applying a layer of mortar or sealant to the joints between the tiles, which helps to seal the roof to stop water from getting in. The pointing material is applied over the top of the bedding and fills in any gaps between the tile.

Over time, the roof bedding and pointing can deteriorate due to weathering, water damage, or other factors, and may require repair or replacement to maintain the roof’s structural integrity and water-tightness.

Signs Roof Bedding and Pointing Need Replacing

The following are some common signs that may indicate that the roof bedding and pointing need to be replaced:

1. Loose or dislodged tiles or slates: If you notice that individual tiles or slates are coming loose or sliding out of place, it may indicate that the bedding has deteriorated and is no longer holding them securely.

2. Cracked or missing pointing: If you see cracks or gaps in the pointing between the tiles or slates, or if sections of pointing are missing altogether, this can allow water to seep through and cause damage to the roof structure and interior of the building.

3. Water leaks or damp patches: If you notice water stains or damp patches on the ceiling or walls, this could be a sign that water is penetrating the roof due to damaged or inadequate bedding and pointing.

4. Sagging or uneven roof surface: If the roof surface appears to be sagging or uneven in places, this may be due to underlying damage to the roof structure caused by water penetration through the bedding and pointing.

5. Excessive wear and tear: Over time, the bedding and pointing on a roof will naturally degrade and wear out, especially if the roof is exposed to harsh weather conditions or has not been well maintained. If the roof is showing signs of excessive wear and tear, it may be time to consider replacing the bedding and pointing.

If you notice any of these signs, it is important to have a professional roofer like Brisbane Roofing Solutions inspect your roof to determine the extent of the damage and recommend the best course of action for repair or replacement of the bedding and pointing.

Outstanding service all around, I can't recommend these folks enough if you need anything done to your roof.

Jim, Sharon, and the team at Brisbane Roofing Solutions provided exceptional service. They worked closely with us to achieve the exact outcome we desired, and once the job was done, they left the area spotless with no overspray whatsoever. Their communication was excellent, they were organized and punctual, and they delivered high-quality work. It's been eight months since our roof was painted, and it still looks brand new. It's refreshing to see companies like theirs thriving today. I wholeheartedly recommend Brisbane Roofing Solutions

Repeat client of Brisbane Roofing Solutions. The roof repairs and restoration, was completed by the team during a very hot week and I couldn't be more pleased with the results (and relieved given the wild storms!)

Brisbane Roofing Solutions did an amazing job renovating our roof for the second time - the first time was over 10 years ago, and most of the repairs they made then were still perfectly intact. We had some issues with one part of the roof, but not only did Jim stand by his reputation, he paid to get the issue replaced! Not many businesses would be prepared to do that, great to see the integrity and dedication to reputation exhibited by this great Aussie Small Business. Not only do I highly recommend Brisbane Roofing Solutions, but you would be crazy to look anywhere else! Thanks, Jim & Sharron!
Response from the owner:Thanks Stephen we very much appreciate your repeat business and taking the time to leave a review. Regards Jim and team👍
