Trowel 178mm: common questions
Should I rebed ridge caps before repointing?
Yes, if they are loose. Pointing seals the caps but relies on a sound bed underneath.
Is flexible pointing better than cement pointing?
Flexible pointing moves with the roof, where cement pointing tends to crack. See our pointing guide.
