Roof Repointing in Como

Look at ridge caps on Como's older homes, and you'll see crumbled mortar exposed for years. That sand-cement mix was inconsistent and has broken down since the 1960s. Repointing is raking out old mortar and pointing the top edge with flexible compound that won't crack. On pre-1975 homes, this is urgent because crumbled mortar lets water sit against tiles and seep underneath. We do ridges, hips, and valleys in one visit using modern flexible mortar. Most Como jobs run $1,800 to $3,200 depending on roof complexity. Done right, it holds for decades.

Repointing is the refilling and sealing of joints between ridge caps and tiles, the most visible deterioration in Como's older homes. The original sand-cement mortar between ridge tiles has typically crumbled completely on pre-1970s homes, leaving gaps where water infiltrates. We repoint with modern flexible mortar that accommodates tile movement. Winter storms pump water through loose ridge joints, causing internal ceiling damage months later. Repointing assessment is essential for any Como home over 50 years old.

Local Como Expertise

Como stretches along the southern bank of the Canning River just 6km from Perth CBD, making it one of Perth's most accessible riverside suburbs. Subdivided as the Como Estate in 1905, the area's housing tells the story of decades of riverside growth - Federation and interwar character homes from the 1920s and 1930s, solid brick-and-tile homes from the 1950s-1970s, and pockets of 1990s infill development where original homes were subdivided. Towering river red gums, swamp paperbarks, and mature jacarandas form a dense canopy across the suburb, creating beautiful but challenging conditions for roofs. At Roof Restorers Perth, we've restored hundreds of roofs across Como, Manning, and Salter Point with 15+ years of team experience, with particular expertise in the older terracotta and concrete tile systems that define this riverside suburb.

The result: Restored roofs engineered to handle Como's high humidity, heavy leaf load, and diverse housing ages - protected by Dulux Acratex coatings with 15-year manufacturer warranty.
