Ridge Repairs in Sandhurst
Ridge mortar failure on Sandhurst's concrete tile roofs is among the most common repair calls we receive from this area. The mortar beds on the 1960s and 1970s housing have softened and cracked over decades, and individual ridge tiles are regularly found to be rocking or missing after windy weather. Legacy Roofing re-beds and re-points ridges across Sandhurst.
We find that properties on Sandhurst's elevated western residential streets — exposed to the prevailing south-westerly winds — show ridge mortar failure earlier than the more sheltered streets in the valley. We inspect the full ridge run on every job and advise on what needs replacing versus what can be re-pointed.

Ridge Repairs in Sandhurst — FAQs
Pointing over failed mortar simply covers the problem — the failed bed beneath will continue to deteriorate and the repair will not last. We rake out fully and re-bed properly.
A dry-ridge system uses mechanical fittings to secure ridge tiles without mortar. It is more durable long-term and we recommend it where a mortar ridge has been a recurring maintenance issue.
Not necessarily — but it is worth having the rest of the ridge inspected, because if one tile has gone others are often loose. We assess the full run and advise honestly.
