## Small tile problems become big ones

Brisbane and the Gold Coast have a large stock of older homes with concrete and terracotta tile roofs, many of which require periodic repairs. Innovare Roofing carries out the full range: individual tile replacement, complete re-bedding and re-pointing programs, valley iron replacement and storm-damage repairs.

Tile problems left unaddressed invariably worsen. A single cracked tile lets water in, wetting the sarking and eventually the ceiling. A ridge that has lost its bedding mortar and pointing is vulnerable to tile displacement in a storm. We identify and address the root cause.

Repair Services

## The full range of tile repair

### Broken & Slipped Tiles

The most common repair — we source matching profiles and colours from our supplier network, particularly for common concrete tile profiles.

### Re-Bedding

Removal of cappings, clean-down of the bed course and application of a new sand-cement mortar bed, with cappings properly re-aligned.

### Re-Pointing

Quality flexible pointing compound colour-matched to the tile — a properly re-bedded, re-pointed roof performs for another 15–20 years.

### Valley Iron Replacement

Corroded mild-steel valleys replaced with aluminium or Colorbond valley flashing, with correct overlap and fixing to prevent ingress.

### Storm Damage

Prompt assessment and repair of displaced or broken tiles, damaged ridges and dislodged flashings after severe weather.

### Condition Reports

A roof inspection to assess ridge and tile condition, with a written report you can act on.

Re-Bedding Process

## How we re-bed and re-point a ridge line

1. #### Remove existing cappings

   All existing ridge and hip cappings are carefully removed.

2. #### Clean down the bed course

   The base course is cleaned back, ready for a fresh mortar bed.

3. #### New mortar bed

   A new sand-cement mortar bed is applied along the ridge and hips.

4. #### Re-set cappings

   Cappings are re-set and properly aligned along the ridge line.

5. #### Flexible pointing

   A quality flexible pointing compound is applied, colour-matched to the tile.

Common Questions

## Frequently asked questions

Signs include visible cracking or separation of the pointing along the ridge, mortar fragments in the gutters after rain, or tiles that shift when walked on. We can conduct a roof inspection and provide a written report.

For common profiles — CSR Monier, Boral, Bristile and similar — we can usually source a matching or very close replacement. Older or discontinued profiles may require discussion at inspection.

If repairs are localised to a few broken tiles and the ridges are sound, repair is cost-effective. If the bedding has failed across all ridges, valley iron is perforating and more than 20% of tiles are cracked, a full replacement may be more economical over a ten-year horizon.

For a typical three-to-four bedroom home, a full ridge and hip re-bed and re-point takes one to three days depending on roof complexity.
