Why Choose Us for Roof Repointing in East Victoria Park?
Repointing is the same job as rebedding: getting the old mortar off the ridge caps and roof edges, then sealing them back with new flexible compound that flexes with the roof instead of cracking like the original mortar does. These character homes' ridge caps were set with concrete or lime mortar 60 years ago, and at this age it's just powder; water runs straight through those gaps into the roof space. We complete full repointing on every restoration job, and if you need repointing alone, most projects come in at $2,500 to $4,000 depending on how many ridges and roof edges need work.
East Victoria Park's post-war tile roofs were all finished with ridge cap and hip mortar, which is the first thing to fail on aging roofs. Once that mortar cracks, water runs under your tiles and you get invisible leaks that damage the roof cavity. Repointing is the repair, we grind out the old mortar and refill with flexible compound that actually moves with thermal expansion instead of cracking again. It's a core part of our restoration work here because every 50-year-old roof we assess needs at least partial repointing.

Benefits of Roof Repointing for East Victoria Park 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 East Victoria Park
- 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.

Is repointing the same as rebedding? I keep hearing both terms. ▾
Rebedding fixes the caps that lie in the mortar bed. Repointing is the grout joints between them. Full restoration needs both, remove old mortar, reset caps, point new joints. Repointing alone is just the joints.
My roof looks fine but the mortar feels crumbly. Should I do repointing before it leaks? ▾
Yes. If mortar crumbles when you tap it, water's already starting to get under tiles. Doing repointing before major leaks develop is much cheaper than fixing water damage inside.
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.
