The saga continues, I decided to inspect the roof this morning (SAT) and I got a shock!! there was big bubbles or blisters on all the caps around the roof.<br />I scraped the paint off around the caps and found the Pointing cement completely soft, I rang the superviser and he has suspicion that the pointing cement was OFF in other words FUCKED !! as he noticed the next day some on the outside edges of the Container that should be completely dry but was found to be soft and wet.<br />So what does this mean?, It means it TOTALLY has to be scraped off to the bedding cement and re-done, and what happens to the Primer sealer now??? ,to scrape this crap out you have to cut the above coates out of the way,,what happens if it strips back up the caps or down the tiles?? a razor knife should be used as I don't want edges.<br />Now to do this repair job you have to walk up and down on the existing primed and sealed tiles!! all that will accomplished will be loosening the base coats and more broken tiles!!!!.<br /><br />I spoke to a friend of mine that has over 35 years in the painting industry and this is what he recommended: <br /><br />When the roof was completely pressure cleaned and considering the tiles (most) were completely stripped of their glazing, which allowed moisture to enter the tile, the roof should not have been primed and sealed straight after rain. We should have had at least 3 dry days to allow the moisture to escape because what will happen is moisture will be trapped under the coats and when it comes to October/November/December (when the hot weather arrives), the moisture will come to the surface and cause blisters in the paint. The same should be for the pointing cement. The bedding cement should be completely dry and removed of its moisture before the pointing cement is used.<br /><br />Personally, I think this good job is now stuffed because of the rush to prime and seal straight after rain or hosing down due to the house having very little sun on the roof in winter. To finish it off, its now the problem with the pointing cement being no good. Will keep everyone informed as to what happens in the week. I hope my friend is incorrect as he said very firmly that when the hot days come and if any moisture is trapped in the tiles, blisters will appear. <br /><br />Phil <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="images/icons/default/mad.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="images/icons/default/mad.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="images/icons/default/mad.gif" />
