Why Choose Us for 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 $1,500 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.

Benefits of Roof Repointing for Como 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 Como
- 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 do I know if my Como roof needs repointing? ▾
Look at your ridge caps, if the mortar between ridge tiles is cracked, missing, or crumbling, repointing is overdue. Pre-1970s homes almost always need it. Crumbled ridge pointing lets water track beneath roof tiles, causing staining that appears weeks after storms. Professional inspection identifies what needs pointing, typically $1,500 to $3,200 for comprehensive repointing on older homes.
What's the difference between ridge caps that need repointing and ones that need replacing? ▾
Repointing repairs the mortar between tiles while keeping the tiles in place. If tiles are cracked or tiles themselves are loose, they need replacement rather than repointing. We assess during inspection, often both are needed. The cost difference is significant. Repointing alone is $1,500 to $3,200, tile replacement adds to that cost.
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.
