Why Choose Us for Roof Repointing in Scarborough?
Repointing is basically re-cementing the ridge and hip caps after the old mortar breaks down. Scarborough's wind, especially the gusts over 70 kilometres an hour in winter, puts enormous stress on the ridge line. The pointing cracks, the caps loosen, and then the first proper storm lifts your ridge right off and you've got active leaks. We repoint using wind-resistant techniques and marine-grade compounds that stay flexible and don't crack in the salt air. It's a critical job on beachfront homes and we do complete repointing every five to seven years on properties within the first 600 metres of the ocean. The cost usually sits around 3000 to 5000 dollars, and it's easily the best preventative work you can do against storm damage in this area.
Repointing is crucial on Scarborough roofs because wind and salt break down the grout between tiles and sections constantly. We use flexible marine-grade compounds that move with the roof in storms. Rigid repointing cracks and lets salt in. On beachfront properties, we sometimes do complete repointing every 8 to 10 years.

Benefits of Roof Repointing for Scarborough 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 Scarborough
- 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 Scarborough - FAQs

Why can't I use standard mortar for repointing on my Scarborough roof? ▾
Standard mortar is too rigid and cracks in salt spray and coastal winds. Flexible marine mortar moves with the roof and won't fail as fast. It's a different product designed for exactly what Scarborough roofs face.
How much does complete roof repointing cost in Scarborough? ▾
Most single-storey homes run $3,000 to $5,000. Two-storey or complex roofs can be $5,000 to $8,000. It depends on the roof size and how much work the pointing needs. We measure and give you a price by address.
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.
