The ridge is the highest point of your roof — and one of the most common places for leaks to start. When the mortar between ridge tiles cracks or washes away, water can enter. Ridge re-bedding and re-pointing reseals the ridge to stop leaks. KL Servis Rumah provides this service across Kuala Lumpur and Selangor, from RM 22 per linier ft.

Why the ridge leaks
The ridge mortar is exposed to rain, sun, and wind, and it degrades over time. As it cracks and washes away, water seeps in beneath the ridge tiles and runs down into the roof space.
The process
- Inspection — we assess the ridge tiles and mortar condition.
- Removal — loose ridge tiles and old mortar are removed.
- Re-bedding — ridge tiles are re-laid on fresh bedding mortar.

How much does ridge re-bedding cost?

Frequently asked questions
Why is my roof leaking at the ridge?
The ridge is a high, exposed point where mortar degrades over time. Cracks and gaps in the mortar let water in — re-bedding and re-pointing restore the seal.
Can I do ridge repair myself?
Roof work is dangerous without proper safety equipment and training. We recommend a professional roofer with the right experience.
