Why Choose Us for Roof Repointing in Karrinyup?
Every tile roof in Karrinyup built in the 1960s-1970s has mortar between the tiles that's now 50 years old and crumbling away. Repointing means raking out that failed mortar and replacing it with flexible modern compound that moves with your roof and doesn't crack. It's not a cosmetic job, it's structural, the mortar is what holds tiles in place and keeps water out, so once it goes, individual tiles shift and water finds its way underneath. We do complete repointing as part of full restoration, but standalone repointing costs 2,500 to 4,000 dollars depending on roof size and how much deterioration we find. Many homeowners are surprised how much mortar deterioration sits hidden between tiles until we start inspecting. The work is time-intensive because it's tile by tile, but it's the foundation of any long-term roof solution for older homes. Once repointing is done with modern material, you've addressed one of the biggest failure points on your 50-year-old roof.
Repointing is replacing the mortar between roof tiles. After 50 years, Karrinyup's original lime mortar is crumbling and letting water seep beneath the tiles. Modern flexible mortar moves with temperature changes and resists salt spray better than old lime. A complete repointing job costs $2,500-4,000 and is often the biggest job in a roof restoration, but it's essential on 1960s tile roofs here.

Benefits of Roof Repointing for Karrinyup 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 Karrinyup
- 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 Karrinyup - FAQs

Do we need to replace tiles to repoint the roof? ▾
No, repointing removes old mortar and fills the gaps with new flexible compound. If tiles are cracked or broken, we replace those separately. Most Karrinyup homes need 20 to 40 tile replacements plus full repointing.
How long does new mortar last on a Karrinyup roof? ▾
Modern flexible mortar lasts 20-30 years in this climate if applied correctly. It resists salt air and temperature changes better than the original lime. Coating the roof afterward extends overall protection to 15+ years.
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.
