Why Choose Us for Roof Repointing in Atwell?
Repointing is where we redo the mortar in the ridge capping. That's where you see cracks in Atwell because the clay soil keeps moving. Old mortar is rigid and cracks, allowing water under the ridge. We use flexible polymer-modified mortar that moves with the ground instead of breaking. For repointing alone, budget $2,500 to $4,000 depending on your roof size and how much ridge you've got. It's one of the most important jobs we do in Atwell because ground movement is constant. If your ridge capping is cracked, water's getting in behind it. Flexible repointing stops that, and it stays intact even when the house keeps settling.
Repointing is critical in Atwell because the clay soil foundation shifts with seasons, cracking the mortar between tiles. Original builder-grade rigid cement mortar can't flex with ground movement, creating gaps that let water in. Repointing with flexible polymer-modified mortar allows movement. Atwell homes from Central, around Parkes Street and Brenchley Drive, especially need this, as they're approaching 30 years.

Benefits of Roof Repointing for Atwell Properties
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 in Atwell
- 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.
Why it matters: Sometimes it's just pointing, sometimes the bedding underneath has gone too.
- 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.
Why it matters: New pointing over crumbling old pointing just fails again.
- 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.
Why it matters: The bedding holds the cap, the pointing seals it.
- 4
Apply flexible pointing
Flexible pointing compound goes on in a clean, even line, colour-matched to the roof.
Why it matters: Flexible compound moves with the roof and stays sealed.
Roof Repointing in Atwell - FAQs
Do you provide roof repointing in Atwell? ▾

How do I know if repointing is needed? ▾
If you see gaps or loose mortar between tiles, or water is entering the roof, repointing is overdue. From the ground, look at ridge capping for cracks in the mortar joint. Atwell's clay soil movement means cracks appear faster here than average, so even newer-looking homes may need attention at 20 to 25 years old.
What does repointing cost? ▾
In Atwell, repointing only runs $2,500 to $4,000 depending on roof size and condition. Most homes benefit from full restoration at $8,500-$11,500 for single storey, but if repointing is your main concern, we can scope just that work.
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.
