Why Choose Us for Roof Repointing in Maylands?
Repointing is the mortar work that holds ridge caps and hip tiles in place. On Maylands' heritage homes, the original mortar is 70 to 100 years old and crumbles away, leaving tiles loose and water to seep underneath. Repointing replaces that mortar with flexible compound that handles the expansion and contraction without cracking again. This is where the character work gets detailed. Heritage homes along Eighth Avenue often have decorative ridge finials and complex hip work that needs skilled repointing to maintain the look while keeping water out. Repointing alone typically costs $2,500 to $4,000, and it's one of the jobs that makes the difference between a roof that works for decades and one that keeps leaking.
Maylands' heritage homes feature complex decorative ridge caps and hip tiles that need skilled repointing to stay true to the original character. Mortar joints deteriorate from riverside humidity and temperature cycling. We rake out aged mortar and refill with colour-matched flexible compound. Repointing alone costs $2,500-$4,000, often part of a full roof restoration package.

Local Maylands Expertise
Benefits of Roof Repointing for Maylands 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 Maylands
- 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 Maylands - FAQs

Is repointing worth doing on a 1930s Maylands bungalow if I'm not doing full restoration? ▾
If mortar is crumbling, yes. Failing mortar lets water in and tiles come loose. It's cheaper to repoint than to replace tiles later. Some homeowners repoint and delay full restoration. Check with us first, sometimes the tiles need cleaning or treatment too, making full restoration better value.
Does repointing match the original mortar colour on heritage homes? ▾
We colour-match where possible. Original Marseilles terracotta homes had specific mortar shades. Modern flexible compound comes in various tones. The goal is visual harmony with the existing work while using better-performing material that won't crack as the roof shifts seasonally.
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.
