Roof Pointing
About This Service
Mortar pointing along ridge tiles, hip tiles and chimney joints is what holds your roof's weather seal together. Once it starts to crack or crumble, water gets in, ridge tiles work loose, and small problems turn into expensive ones.
We repoint roofs across the North East using the correct mortar mix for the job - strong enough to last, flexible enough not to crack as the roof moves with the weather.
Every job starts with a free inspection, includes full removal of failed mortar, and finishes with a written workmanship guarantee.

Why Choose Us
WHY HOMEOWNERS PICK A CLASS

Honest Pricing
WHAT IT'S LIKELY TO COST
Repointing is priced by the metre-run and condition of the existing mortar. A short ridge line is a quick job; a full house of ridges, hips and chimney pointing costs more. We always give a fixed written price including any ridge tiles that need re-bedding.
