What Is Roof Repointing?

Roof repointing is the process or repairing damaged mortar in roof tiling. Broken, cracked or damaged mortar/cement is the perfect opening for water and other forms of moisture to leak into your roof cavity and your home. Once moisture enters your roof space, it can cause damage to your insulation, ceiling materials and other structures so it is best to maintain your roof by repointing to remove this primary entry point.
