Why Choose Us for Roof Repointing in Claremont?
The lime mortar between heritage tiles deteriorates faster in river humidity than it does inland. You'll see gaps opening up between tiles on north-facing sections after 15 years or so. We repoint with lime-based mortar that breathes the same way the original does, not hard modern cement that traps moisture. Costs run $1,500 to $3,000 depending on how much work the tiles need.
Claremont's heritage homes have lime-based mortar between roof tiles that deteriorates faster than modern compounds due to river humidity. Every 5 to 7 years, mortar lines soften and crumble. We refresh mortar using traditional lime compounds matching the original, hand-pointed to preserve the roof's character. It's skilled work that protects tile integrity and adds years to a heritage roof.

Benefits of Roof Repointing for Claremont 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 Claremont
- 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 Claremont - FAQs
Do you provide roof repointing in Claremont? ▾

Is lime-based mortar really better than modern cement for heritage roofs? ▾
Yes. Lime lets tiles move slightly with humidity and temperature changes. Cement is too hard and rigid, it cracks old tiles instead of protecting them. Heritage roofs need lime mortar to perform properly and last decades.
How often do Claremont heritage roofs need repointing? ▾
Every 5 to 7 years, depending on river exposure. Riverfront properties within 500 metres need it more often because humidity accelerates mortar deterioration. Inland Claremont sees slower deterioration and longer intervals between repointing.
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.
What Our Customers Say
"THESE GUYS DESERVE 6 STARS Our experience with Ryan and his team was nothing short of exceptional—truly a 6-star service. Within a day of sending our request, we received quotes for both properties, which was impressively fast. Initially, I was a bit skeptical, assuming there might be hidden costs or extra charges added once the job started, given how quick the process was. However, that was absolutely not the case. The quoted price was exactly what we paid—no surprises, no extras. UNBELIEVABLE! Ryan and his team were incredibly responsive, coordinating seamlessly with other contractors working alongside them. The crew was extremely efficient and productive throughout the projects, making the entire experience smooth and stress-free. I highly recommend Ryan and his team for any roof restoration work!"
"Great experience with this company. Communication was always prompt. Lots of info given about the whole process. Staff were all polite and very efficient. Pricing was competitive. Roof looks fantastic. The guys painted our chimney and whirlybirds too to match as well as our spare tiles for the future just in case. Highly recommend Roof Restorers Perth"
