Why Choose Us for Roof Repointing in Cottesloe?
Repointing focuses on the joint lines between tiles. On heritage Cottesloe homes, lime-based mortar deteriorates faster than the tiles themselves because salt air attacks it. You'll see hairline cracks between tiles or mortar coming loose, which lets water get underneath. We recommend repointing refresh for heritage properties every 5 to 7 years. Selective repointing runs $1,800 to $3,000 depending on how much needs work. Using lime-based mortar is essential because it moves with tiles as temperature changes. Modern cement is too rigid and cracks old terracotta. This is why heritage work needs specialist knowledge.
Lime mortar joints on Cottesloe heritage roofs deteriorate faster than modern compounds, especially with salt air exposure. Repointing means removing failed mortar and re-jointing between tiles with lime-based material to preserve authenticity. Annual inspection catches mortar breakdown before water penetrates. Properties within 800 metres of the beach need repointing every 5 to 7 years. This preventative work saves thousands in avoiding cracked tiles and interior leaks.

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

Why use lime mortar instead of modern cement pointing? ▾
Heritage tiles need flexibility that cement doesn't provide. Salt air attacks cement faster than lime on old masonry. Lime mortar matches the original and lets the roof flex with temperature changes without cracking tiles. We use lime-based compounds specifically formulated for coastal heritage work.
How often should heritage roofs be repointed in Cottesloe? ▾
Every 5 to 7 years is typical due to salt exposure and humidity. Annual inspections spot problem areas early. Selective repointing costs 1,500 to 3,000 dollars. Beachfront homes need more frequent attention than North Cottesloe properties. It's preventative work that costs far less than emergency repairs.
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.
