Flashings & Ridge Capping in Sydney
The damp inside sits right where the roof runs into a wall, and up on top there is a bead of cracked silicone doing the job a flashing should be doing. It held for a summer or two.

Questions and answers
Sand and cement sets hard while the roof moves under it all day as the sun comes round. Flexible pointing bedded properly takes that movement, which is why we do not use rigid mortar on a repoint.
Where the flashing is sound and only the top edge has opened, sealing that edge is a real repair. If it was never let into the wall to begin with, sealing it only moves the same leak a season down the road.
It is a flashing whose top edge is turned into a slot cut into a mortar joint of the wall, then sealed. Water running down the wall passes over the flashing rather than getting behind it.
Yes. Most skylight leaks are at the flashing, not the glass. We rebuild the flashing around the skylight and check the shaft for other leak points.
Yes. Our licensed gas fitters handle the flue itself, and the flashing around it is rebuilt at the same visit. Please do not seal around a flue yourself.
It depends on the length of the junction, the wall type and how high it is. A chimney or skylight takes more pieces than a straight wall. You get a written price before we start, so you know the price first.
