The Basics of Repointing
Roof pointing is a secondary layer, which helps to cover the peaks of a structure. As the name already suggests, these “points” are intended to protect the underlying layers (known as the “bedding”) against dust, water and other elements. This section has to endure harsh weather conditions and as a result, the mortar which holds it in place can crack or weather with time. This is actually one of the most common causes of damage and if left untreated, your home will directly suffer as a result.
The process of repointing essentially involves replacing the underlying mortar with a more flexible material and if necessary, replacing the points themselves. The main advantage of this modern approach is that the points will be able to stand up to challenging weather conditions while simultaneously protecting the underlying materials. This is also the reason why a roof should be repointed once every ten years (or as conditions dictate).
