Why Choose Us for Roof Repointing in Hillarys?
Failed pointing between tiles is where water sneaks in on Hillarys roofs, especially after coastal storms push rain sideways. The salt in the air and the moisture cycle of 65-72% humidity breaks down pointing faster than inland suburbs see. South-facing sections and valleys are hardest hit, and once water gets behind the tiles, timber rot starts underneath and costs real money to fix. Flexible coastal-grade repointing uses sealant that moves with wind and temperature changes instead of cracking like hard mortar does. Complete repointing usually runs $2,500 to $4,200, and it's one of the best investments you can make to stop leaks before they happen. After repointing, biocide treatment keeps moss and algae from growing in the joints and lifting tiles again.
Hillarys humidity and salt penetrate standard mortar within 8-10 years. Cracked pointing allows water into roof cavities where mould and rot accelerate. We use flexible coastal-grade pointing that moves with temperature swings without cracking. Complete repointing costs $2,500-4,200 but prevents moisture entering your home for 12-15 years. Biannual touch-ups on exposed sections extend life.

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

Why does my pointing crack so fast in Hillarys? ▾
Salt air weakens standard mortar, and temperature cycling (hot days, cold nights) causes cracking. Humidity keeps moisture in cracks, accelerating deterioration. Coastal-grade flexible pointing lasts 12-15 years. Cheap pointing fails in 6-8 years. Full repointing costs $2,500-4,200 but prevents water damage worth $5,000+.
Do I really need to repoint if I haven't seen leaks? ▾
Yes. Water travels invisibly through failed pointing for months before you see interior damage. By then mould is established in cavities. Preventative repointing on properties over 15 years old costs $2,500-4,200. Waiting until leaks appear means cavity damage and $8,000-15,000 repairs.
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
"The overall experience dealing with the Roof Restorers was excellent. Ryan was very flexible in coordinating the job and dealing with the unreliable weather. Jack was very professional and explained every step of the project and kept us informed on the progress. He was always on time and was articulate in cleaning the roof, repairing areas, including the ridge caps and then restoring the paintwork. We are happy with the final result. I'm very confident in recommending this company. 👍👍👍👍👍"
"The roof restoration really made my home a completely new house. Besides the weather keeping the work delayed nothing else I could fault them. I got a competitive quote, no hidden cost, very professional and the work they have done was fantastic. My neighbours love their work and asked for a quote too. I highly recommend! P.S. I know that the photos seems to be totally different but I recently painted my house and the roof is just the last thing needed to be done. There are things that I needed professional."
