Roof Repointing Perth
Roof repointing in Perth
The pointing is the strip of compound that seals your ridge and hip caps to the tiles. When it cracks and crumbles, which it always does eventually in Perth’s heat, water gets underneath, the caps work loose, and a small job turns into a leak. Repointing rakes out the failed material and seals the joins back up with flexible compound that moves with the roof instead of cracking like the old cement mortar did.
We’ve been repointing Perth roofs for 15+ years, terracotta and concrete tile.
What roof repointing costs in Perth
The honest answer is it depends on the roof: how many ridge and hip caps it has, how much of the bedding underneath has broken down, and how easy the roof is to get onto. Some roofs just need the pointing redone. Others need caps re-bedded first. We check, then give you one fixed price. Call 08 6388 4492 or request a quote online. Either way it’s a fraction of a full roof restoration, which is the right call only if the tiles themselves have had it.
Repointing or rebedding? They’re not the same
People use the words interchangeably and they shouldn’t. The bedding is the mortar bed the ridge cap sits on. The pointing is the flexible seal on top. If the bedding has gone soft or cracked, pointing over it is a waste of money, because the cap is still moving underneath. We re-bed any cap that needs it, then point. A lot of cheap “repointing” jobs skip the bedding and fail within a year. We don’t.
Why flexible pointing
The old way was rigid cement mortar. It looks fine on day one and cracks the first time the roof heats up and cools down, which in Perth is daily. Flexible pointing compound flexes with that movement and stays sealed for 10 to 15 years or more. It also comes in a range of colours, so we match it to your tiles and the roofline ends up looking sharp.

Benefits of Roof Repointing
Stops the leaks before they start
Cracked, crumbling pointing is how water gets under your ridge caps and into the roof. Repointing seals those joins back up and keeps the weather out.
Flexible pointing that lasts
We use flexible pointing compound, not the old rigid cement mortar that cracks the first time the roof moves. It flexes with the tiles through Perth's hot-cold cycles instead of splitting.
Cheaper than a restoration
If the tiles are sound and only the pointing has gone, repointing fixes the actual problem for a fraction of what a full restoration costs.
Tidies up the roofline
Fresh, even pointing in a colour that suits the roof makes the whole house look cared for, which matters if you're selling.
Our Roof Repointing Process
- 1
Inspect the ridges
We get up and check every ridge and hip cap, the bedding under them and the existing pointing, and tell you what's actually failed.
Sometimes it's just pointing, sometimes the bedding underneath has gone too. This prevents paying for work the roof doesn't need, or missing work it does.
- 2
Rake out the old pointing
The cracked and loose pointing is raked out back to sound material so the new compound has something solid to key into.
New pointing over crumbling old pointing just fails again. This prevents a quick cosmetic job that's leaking again within a year.
- 3
Re-bed where needed
If the mortar bed under a ridge cap has broken down, we re-bed the cap properly before pointing. Pointing alone won't hold a cap that's sitting on failed bedding.
The bedding holds the cap, the pointing seals it. This prevents caps lifting or sliding in the next big wind.
- 4
Apply flexible pointing
Flexible pointing compound goes on in a clean, even line, colour-matched to the roof.
Flexible compound moves with the roof and stays sealed. This prevents the hairline cracking that rigid cement mortar starts within a couple of summers.
FAQs
How much does roof repointing cost in Perth? ⌄
It depends on how many ridge and hip caps the roof has, how much bedding needs redoing, and access. Call 08 6388 4492 or request a quote for a fixed price on your roof. Repointing is far cheaper than a full restoration when the tiles themselves are still good.
What's the difference between repointing and rebedding? ⌄
Bedding is the mortar bed the ridge cap sits on. Pointing is the flexible compound that seals the join on top. Rebedding relets the cap on fresh mortar; repointing seals it. A cap with failed bedding needs both, and we'll tell you which yours needs.
How long does repointing last? ⌄
Flexible pointing applied over sound bedding typically lasts 10 to 15 years or more. The old rigid cement pointing it replaces often cracks within a couple of years because it can't move with the roof.
Do I need repointing or a full restoration? ⌄
If the tiles are sound and only the pointing and bedding have failed, repointing fixes it for much less. If tiles are cracked and the roof's faded too, a restoration makes more sense. We'll give you a straight answer after we look.
Can you match the pointing colour to my roof? ⌄
Yes. Flexible pointing comes in a range of colours, so we match it to the tiles for a clean, consistent look.
