Why Choose Us for Roof Repointing in Leederville?
Ridge cap mortar on Leederville's heritage homes is crumbling on almost every older roof. Lime mortar from the 1920s doesn't last 100 years. Once it goes, water gets into the structure and ridge tiles sit loose. We repoint ridge caps and other mortar joints with a flexible polymer compound matched to the original colour. It's not a patch job, it's a full ridge cap renewal that sits flush and seals properly. Repointing only runs $2,500 to $4,000 depending on how much work the roof needs.
Leederville's 100-year-old ridge caps have crumbling lime mortar, almost universal on unrested heritage homes. We repoint using colour-matched flexible polymer compound that moves with older masonry instead of cracking. Ridge cap repointing alone costs $2,500 to $4,000. It's often the first step before full restoration addresses other issues.

Local Leederville Expertise
Leederville is one of Perth's most vibrant inner suburbs, where a thriving cafe and restaurant strip along Oxford Street sits alongside tree-lined residential streets of beautifully maintained character homes. Located just 3km north of the CBD, the suburb was predominantly developed between the 1900s and 1930s, producing a stock of California bungalows, Federation cottages, and Art Deco homes with original terracotta roofs now approaching 90-120 years old. Modern townhouse infill adds Colorbond metal roofing to the mix. At Roof Restorers Perth, we've restored hundreds of roofs across Leederville, West Leederville, and North Perth with 15+ years of team experience, specialising in the heritage terracotta and character-home roofing that gives this inner suburb its distinctive streetscape appeal.
Benefits of Roof Repointing for Leederville 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 Leederville
- 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 ridge cap mortar is cracking and falling out. Will repointing fix all the leaks? ▾
Repointing seals the ridge cap and stops water running that line. But if you have other leak points, flashing, valleys, cracked tiles, repointing alone won't stop them. We assess the whole roof first so you know what needs addressing.
How long does ridge cap repointing take? ▾
Most single-storey homes take 2 to 3 days. We work methodically so new mortar cures properly. Two-storey homes with complex rooflines take 4 to 5 days. You can't rush repointing or the mortar fails early.
Does a repointing job carry the leak warranty? ▾
Not on its own. Our leak warranty applies only where the whole tiled roof has been restored including full repointing of all ridge capping - partial or sectional work doesn't carry it. A standalone repoint is still covered by the 12-month workmanship guarantee on the pointing itself, and we'll tell you plainly which applies to your job before you commit.
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 re-lays 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 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."
"Great company and very reasonably priced. We were referred by our friend that had work done by the team also. Professional and good communication throughout the whole process. Highly recommend this company."
