The pointing keeps falling out of my roof valleys after short time

Posted by Philip Donohoe, on
Three attempts to re point my roof valleys have been unsuccessful, each time the pointing lasts only months before falling off .

Hi Phil, The valley tiles should be re-bedded rather than just be re-pointed, this should of been suggested after the first try of re-pointing was unsuccessful, otherwise you are putting just a few mm mortar covering over the already existing failing mortar. Kind regards Paul Davis Total roofing care
