Why Choose Us for Roof Repointing in Kwinana?
Repointing is grinding out the failed mortar between tiles and replacing it with new mortar. In Calista and Orelia, original 1960s-1970s pointing has completely failed. You can see gaps wide enough to push a coin into, and water runs straight through them. Industrial salt exposure breaks down mortar way faster than it does inland, so even homes from the 1990s are showing pointing failure. A full repointing job costs $2,500 to $4,000 depending on roof size. We grind back to solid mortar, clean out all the dust and debris, and rebed with a flexible system that won't crack with clay soil movement. It's essential work on older Kwinana homes because without it, water just keeps weeping into your ceilings. Every 5-7 years we recommend reassessing your pointing because the salt and industrial environment here is brutal on mortar joints. It's not glamorous work but it keeps your roof watertight.
Kwinana's original 1960s homes have pointing that's completely failed after 40 to 60 years of industrial-salt exposure. Pointing deteriorates three times faster here than in suburbs without industrial exposure. Mortar cracks allow water behind tiles, and the salts in water accelerate tile deterioration. Full repointing is a major job but absolutely necessary on homes of this age. Cost runs $2,500 to $4,000.

Local Kwinana Expertise
Benefits of Roof Repointing for Kwinana 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 Kwinana
- 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.

My 50-year-old roof is crumbling between tiles. Is the whole roof failing? ▾
The pointing has failed, not necessarily the tiles. The mortar breaks down and allows water to sit behind tiles, which then deteriorates them. Full repointing removes old mortar and re-beds tiles with modern pointing. It saves the tiles and adds 15 plus years of life.
Can you just re-point the worst areas? ▾
We can, but it's usually a false economy in Kwinana. Once you've started repointing, other areas fail within a year or two. A full repointing job costs more upfront but lasts much longer and saves repair call-outs.
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
"Carlo Poli gave Roof Restorers Perth 5 stars."
"THESE GUYS DESERVE 6 STARS Our experience with Ryan and his team was nothing short of exceptional—truly a 6-star service. Within a day of sending our request, we received quotes for both properties, which was impressively fast. Initially, I was a bit skeptical, assuming there might be hidden costs or extra charges added once the job started, given how quick the process was. However, that was absolutely not the case. The quoted price was exactly what we paid—no surprises, no extras. UNBELIEVABLE! Ryan and his team were incredibly responsive, coordinating seamlessly with other contractors working alongside them. The crew was extremely efficient and productive throughout the projects, making the entire experience smooth and stress-free. I highly recommend Ryan and his team for any roof restoration work!"
