Why Choose Us for Roof Repointing in Melville?
Melville's concrete tile roofs need their ridge caps repointed every 2 to 3 years because the mortar cracks under sun and river damp. Once mortar starts crumbling, winter rain gets in and tracks water under tiles. We remove the old cracked mortar and repoint with flexible material that doesn't crack. A full repointing typically runs $1,500 to $3,000. It's cheaper than water damage inside. We check repointing during every roof inspection and recommend it based on ridge cap condition.
Melville's ridge caps were pointed with sand-cement mortar in the 1960s and 80s. That mortar cracks, crumbles, and washes away after 40 to 60 years. Water pours underneath during winter storms, rotting timber underneath and tracking into walls. Full repointing means removing failed mortar, cleaning ridges, and rebedding with flexible polymer-modified mortar. It's essential on every old Melville roof. We include it in full restorations and price selective repointing between 1500 to 3000.

Benefits of Roof Repointing for Melville 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 Melville
- 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.

Is my ridge cap pointing failing? What should I look for? ▾
Check for visible cracks, crumbled sections, or mortar gaps you can push a coin into. Stains on interior ceilings near ridge lines often signal failed pointing allowing water in. Ground-level photos help, we can assess via satellite too.
Can you fix just a few problem spots or must you repoint the entire roof? ▾
We often do selective repointing on still-sound sections. If most of the roof is failing, full repointing makes sense long-term. We assess and quote both options, then you decide based on budget and roof age.
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.
