Ridge capping refers to the finishing touches on a roof’s ridge line. The ridge is the highest point where two roof slopes meet, and ridge capping is the protective cover or cap installed along this line to seal the gap between the two roof surfaces. Ridge capping helps prevent water, wind, and other weather elements from penetrating the roof structure at its highest point.
Ridge capping also provides a neat and finished appearance to the roof, enhancing the overall look of the building. We are experts in choosing roof materials that are durable, water-resistant, and that which fit your budget. Ridge capping restoration involves using specialised ridge capping tiles or sheets, along with appropriate fixings and sealants, to create a secure and water-tight seal along the ridge line.
Steps Involved in Ridge Capping Restoration Works by FCS and Roofing in Sydney
Sydney’s diverse weather poses many challenges when maintaining roofs. Ridge capping restoration is crucial in protecting your home from the elements, ensuring a water-tight seal at the apex of your roof. The steps involved in ridge capping restoration works in Sydney include:
Initial Roof Cleanup: We start our ridge capping restoration work by ensuring your roof is free of debris, leaves, and dirt. A clean surface allows for better adhesion to prevent future leaks.
Inspect & Repair: Our personnel will inspect and repair any damages to the roof structure or underlying material, like tiles or metal sheets. Addressing roof repairs before ridge capping is key for a professional finish.
Choosing the Right Materials: We help our customers choose the appropriate ridge-capping materials. The choice of ridge capping material is based on your roof type and local weather conditions. Metal ridge caps from popular manufacturers like Colorbond® or Zincalume® are usually recommended. These materials have a proven track record for durability and water resistance.
Measure & Cut: Our skilled roofing specialists will accurately measure the length of the ridge line. They will then cut the ridge-capping material to the required size and dimensions. The cuts will factor in overlaps to ensure a waterproof seal.
Underlay or Sarking: Installing underlay or sarking along the ridge line provides an additional layer of protection against moisture and wind.
Seal the Ridge Edges: We will then apply an industry-grade adhesive or seal along the ridge line to create a watertight barrier. The sealant will be chosen to be compatible with the ridge capping material used.
Positioning & Fastening: The ridge caps are carefully placed along the ridge line, ensuring proper alignment and centring. Our personnel will maintain the recommended overlap between individual caps for a water-tight finish. The ridge caps are fastened to the roof structure using appropriate screws or nails. We will ensure these fasteners are not overtightened to prevent unnecessary damage to ridge caps.
Sealing the Gaps: Our personnel will seal any remaining gaps or joints between individual ridge caps with additional sealants, not forgetting to seal any penetrations or openings.
If you have chosen a ridge capping design that includes ventilation, our personnel will ensure proper ventilation, ideal for optimal airflow. We will then give the installed ridge capping a thorough inspection to identify any visible flaws or gaps. Additionally, any issues identified are fixed so that the finished work is secure and aesthetically pleasing.
