Why Choose Us for Roof Repointing in Bicton?
After we've cleaned your roof and treated the moss, the old pointing is usually soft and cracked from years of moisture sitting in it. Repointing means removing the failed mortar and packing new, flexible, moisture-resistant pointing into the joints between your tiles. In Bicton, where humidity stays high and dries slowly, using the right pointing material makes a huge difference to lifespan. Poor pointing lets water run under tiles and causes leaks that you don't notice until they've wet out your roof cavity for months. We use pointing that flexes with temperature changes so it doesn't crack and let moisture back in. Full repointing on a standard Bicton roof is usually included in a restoration package, but spot repairs typically run $1,800 to $3,500 - a standalone visit still books out the day, the crew and the travel, so a patch isn't far off doing the whole ridge line.
Bicton's pointing fails faster than most suburbs. The mortar between tiles breaks down within 15 to 25 years from constant river moisture, freeze-thaw on cool mornings, and acids from decaying leaf matter. Damaged pointing lets water enter under tiles, creating interior damage that costs far more than repointing. Annual inspection catches failing pointing early.

Local Bicton Expertise
Bicton's leafy riverside location - nestled along the Swan River with mature tree canopy and elevated humidity - creates specific roofing challenges combining moisture management with organic growth control. Humidity above the Perth average, dense tree coverage blocking sunlight, and morning dew from the water affect roofs differently than exposed coastal areas. At Roof Restorers Perth, we've restored roofs across Bicton, Attadale, and the Melville riverside corridor with 15+ years of team experience, specializing in moisture-resistant coatings and moss prevention for Perth's established riverside suburbs.
The result: Roofs that resist moisture-related deterioration for 15+ years, preventing the moss growth and organic buildup common in shaded riverside properties.
Benefits of Roof Repointing for Bicton 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 Bicton
- 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.

How often does pointing fail on Bicton tile roofs? ▾
Most pointing lasts 15 to 25 years in our river humidity. Shaded areas facing south or west fail faster due to persistent dampness and freeze-thaw cycles. We recommend complete repointing during restoration or touch-up every 5 to 7 years.
What's the cost of repointing a Bicton roof? ▾
Repointing on its own typically runs 1500 to 3500 dollars, depending on the roof. Full repointing during restoration is included in the 8500 to 11000 dollars for single-storey homes. Partial repointing costs vary by area size and tile condition.
Does a repointing job carry the leak warranty? ▾
Not on its own. Our leak warranty applies only where the whole tiled roof has been restored including full repointing of all ridge capping - partial or sectional work doesn't carry it. A standalone repoint is still covered by the 12-month workmanship guarantee on the pointing itself, and we'll tell you plainly which applies to your job before you commit.
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 re-lays 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.
What Our Customers Say
"The roof restoration really made my home a completely new house. Besides the weather keeping the work delayed nothing else I could fault them. I got a competitive quote, no hidden cost, very professional and the work they have done was fantastic. My neighbours love their work and asked for a quote too. I highly recommend! P.S. I know that the photos seems to be totally different but I recently painted my house and the roof is just the last thing needed to be done. There are things that I needed professional."
"Great company and very reasonably priced. We were referred by our friend that had work done by the team also. Professional and good communication throughout the whole process. Highly recommend this company."
