Why Choose Us for Roof Repointing in Langford?
This is the biggest single issue on Langford's original tile roofs. The mortar around tiles and underneath ridge caps was laid 40 to 50 years ago and has cracked, eroded, and failed across most roofs. You can see gaps between tiles, hair-line cracks all over the line of mortar, and the ridge line is unstable. That mortar is the waterproof seal. Once it fails, water soaks into the tile substrate and migrates into your ceiling. Complete repointing with flexible compound costs $2,500 to $4,500 depending on roof size and condition. We use a modern mortar that moves with temperature and doesn't crack the way original rigid mortar does. Repointing alone can add years to a tile roof that's otherwise sound.
Pointing failure is Langford's most frequent roof leak cause because 40-50 year old mortar has no flexibility left after decades of heat cycling and moisture. Repointing requires removing failed mortar and replacing it with compound that flexes with temperature change. This isn't a quick fix but a proper rebuild of mortar joints. Cost $2,500-4,500 depending on how many ridges and hips need work. It's the foundation work that stops the leak cycle.

Benefits of Roof Repointing for Langford 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 Langford
- 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 Langford - FAQs

How do I know if my mortar needs repointing? ▾
If you see cracks in mortar along ridge and hip caps, visible separation between tiles and mortar, or water leaks in heavy rain, repointing is overdue. Mortar in Langford's 40-50 year old homes has typically failed. Professional assessment identifies which sections need work.
Can I just patch cracked mortar or does it need full repointing? ▾
Patching buys time but doesn't fix the underlying problem. If mortar has lost flexibility, patched areas fail again fast. Proper repointing removes all aged mortar and replaces it completely with flexible compound. It's the permanent fix in Langford's aging stock.
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.
