Why Choose Us for Roof Repointing in Lesmurdie?
Repointing is the mortar holding the tiles in place. In Lesmurdie it's one of the first things to fail because constant moisture and lack of drying time breaks down standard mortar fast. If your pointing is crumbly, cracked, or missing in patches, water's running straight into the roof structure. We repoint with advanced moisture-resistant material that stays flexible through temperature extremes and heavy rainfall. You'll typically need full repointing every 3 to 5 years on upper Lesmurdie properties, or longer on lower areas around Hawtin Road where conditions are slightly less extreme. The cost runs $3,000 to $6,000 for a full roof depending on size. Once it's done properly with the right material, your roof sheds water correctly and stays much drier during winter. It's maintenance work, but it's the foundation of keeping a Lesmurdie roof functioning.
Lesmurdie pointing fails faster than anywhere else in Perth. The constant moisture and cool temperatures (winter lows 5-10°C) combine with water cycling to disintegrate standard pointing within years. Complete repointing is often needed during restoration, not just patching. Advanced moisture-resistant flexible pointing is standard here, not rigid cement. Upper escarpment properties above 400m elevation experience complete pointing failure from prolonged moisture exposure. Repointing is a critical part of protecting against future moisture damage.

Local Lesmurdie Expertise
Lesmurdie's elevated escarpment position - around 270m above sea level, with higher rainfall than the coastal plain - creates the most extreme roofing challenges in metropolitan Perth. Annual rainfall typically 1000-1300mm against Perth's ~730mm, significantly cooler temperatures, dense native bushland, and dramatic elevation variations promote severe moss growth and moisture issues. At Roof Restorers Perth, we've restored roofs across Lesmurdie and upper Perth Hills with 15+ years of team experience, specializing in extreme moss treatment and high-rainfall management for Perth's highest residential properties.
The result: Roofs that withstand Lesmurdie's extreme conditions for 15+ years, preventing the massive moss proliferation and moisture damage common in upper hills properties.

Benefits of Roof Repointing for Lesmurdie 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 Lesmurdie
- 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 Lesmurdie - FAQs

Why does pointing fail so quickly on Lesmurdie roofs? ▾
Perpetual moisture and cool temperatures. Lesmurdie roofs never fully dry in winter, and the 1000-1300mm annual rainfall means constant water cycling through pointing. Cool temps (5-10°C winter nights) accelerate breakdown. Standard rigid mortar cracks and allows water entry. Advanced flexible pointing resists this moisture cycling better, but still fails faster here than in Perth metro.
Is complete repointing necessary, or can you patch the worst spots? ▾
Complete repointing is almost always necessary in Lesmurdie. If some pointing has failed from moisture, the rest is failing too, just at different rates. Patching is temporary. Full repointing with moisture-resistant flexible mortar typically costs $3,000 to $6,000 depending on roof size. It's usually bundled into larger restoration projects.
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.
