Why Choose Us for Roof Repointing in Mount Lawley?
Repointing is refreshing the mortar between the ridge caps and the tiles, and between decorative elements like finials and the roof surface. On Mount Lawley's heritage homes, this mortar gets dislodged by time and weather. Once it's gone, water gets in, and the pointing job becomes more expensive. Repointing early is a cheap fix. The tricky bit is colour matching the old mortar. We do it on-site so the new pointing blends with the existing. A full repointing job on a typical Mount Lawley roof runs $2,500 to $4,000 depending on the roof complexity and how much original mortar is left to work with. It's one of the best value heritage maintenance jobs.
Mount Lawley's ornamental ridge finials and decorative features depend on careful repointing to stay watertight and stable. The mortar holding these 100-year-old elements hardens and shrinks over decades, creating gaps where water penetrates. Expert repointing uses colour-matched flexible compound to reseal ridge caps while preserving the home's heritage character and visual appeal.

Benefits of Roof Repointing for Mount Lawley 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 Mount Lawley
- 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.

What's the difference between repointing and rebedding on a heritage roof? ▾
Repointing replaces grout around decorative ridge elements, while rebedding replaces the mortar beneath tiles. Both are essential for heritage homes, and we often do both during a full restoration.
How do you match the colour of new mortar to the old stuff? ▾
We do on-site colour matching during the work and use flexible compound in the right shade. The new mortar blends with the original while moving with temperature changes better than rigid cement.
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.
