Why Choose Us for Roof Repointing in Midland?
Multi-decade mortar failure is the silent killer on Midland's concrete tile and heritage terracotta roofs. Mortar that set in the 1950s or 1960s deteriorates progressively, and by now it's often loose or missing entirely. Repointing means removing old crumbling mortar, cleaning joints properly, and refilling with flexible compound that won't crack under Perth's temperature swings. It's essential maintenance that gets overlooked until water starts running into your house. Complete repointing of all ridge and hip caps typically costs $2,500 to $4,500 depending on roof area and mortar condition. We schedule it as part of planned restoration, not as emergency repair. Properties in central Midland and towards the river corridor benefit most, as moisture accelerates mortar breakdown. Once done properly, your roof caps stay secure for another decade or more.
Multi-decade mortar failure is the signature problem of Midland's aging stock. Concrete tiles from the 1950s-1960s were bedded in hard mortar that's now crumbling. Heritage roofs have different challenges depending on whether original slate or terracotta is involved. Comprehensive repointing with flexible compound is part of any serious restoration. Heritage properties may need period-appropriate colour matching.

Local Midland Expertise
Midland holds a unique position in Perth's eastern corridor - 16km from the CBD at the confluence of the Swan River and Helena River, and the historic gateway to the Perth Hills. Established as one of Perth's earliest inland settlements, Midland features housing spanning over a century: from heritage-era homes near the town centre built in the early 1900s, through mass-built 1950s-1980s state housing, to modern infill developments transforming the suburb's character. This extraordinary diversity of roof ages and types - some original slate, heritage terracotta, aging concrete tile, Colorbond replacements, and modern metal - creates a suburb where no two restoration projects are quite alike. At Roof Restorers Perth, we've restored roofs across Midland, Guildford, and Woodbridge with 15+ years of team experience, specialising in the full spectrum of roof systems found in Perth's historic eastern hub.
The result: Era-appropriate restoration for every roof type in Midland - from heritage terracotta sympathetically restored to modern performance standards, through to aging 1960s tile comprehensively renewed - all backed by a 15-year Dulux manufacturer warranty on materials.
Benefits of Roof Repointing for Midland 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 Midland
- 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 Midland - FAQs
Do you provide roof repointing in Midland? ▾

Dulux Acratex accredited, 15-year warranty. Free quotes, 08 6388 4492. Call 6388 4492 for a free, no-obligation quote.
The mortar between our tiles is crumbling. Is it just a cosmetic issue or something serious? ▾
Serious. Crumbling mortar lets water underneath tiles. Water sits in the tile base and roof structure, causing rot and mould. Repointing seals it properly and stops water intrusion before structural damage spreads.
Do heritage homes in Midland need special repointing work? ▾
Often yes. Original terracotta or slate roofs have colour and composition that need matching. Wrong mortar colour or strength can damage heritage tile. We factor in heritage considerations for properties in the railway precinct and original town centre.
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
"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."
"THESE GUYS DESERVE 6 STARS Our experience with Ryan and his team was nothing short of exceptional—truly a 6-star service. Within a day of sending our request, we received quotes for both properties, which was impressively fast. Initially, I was a bit skeptical, assuming there might be hidden costs or extra charges added once the job started, given how quick the process was. However, that was absolutely not the case. The quoted price was exactly what we paid—no surprises, no extras. UNBELIEVABLE! Ryan and his team were incredibly responsive, coordinating seamlessly with other contractors working alongside them. The crew was extremely efficient and productive throughout the projects, making the entire experience smooth and stress-free. I highly recommend Ryan and his team for any roof restoration work!"
