Why Choose Us for Roof Repointing in Serpentine?
The mortar between your ridge tiles and hip tiles cracks and crumbles because of constant temperature swings and the weight of debris sitting on the roof. We rake out the old pointing, clean the joint, and fill it with a flexible compound that moves with the roof instead of cracking again. Repointing the full roof takes a day or two and costs around $1,800 to $2,800. A standalone visit is a full day on site with the crew, the truck and the travel behind it, so the ridge caps on their own don't cost far off a third of a full restoration - if the coating is due anyway, doing it together is much better value. It's included in most full restorations, but if your roof's solid and just needs the pointing refreshed, that's a good money job on its own. The flexible mortar we use handles the thermal cycling better than the old cement stuff.
Serpentine's thermal cycling and heavy canopy moisture cause pointing to crack and fail faster than suburban homes. Pointing between ridge caps and tiles deteriorates under shadow and damp. We use flexible pointing compound resistant to temperature swings and moisture. Repointing is essential biannually for properties under heavy canopy, and annually if you're seeing moss growth or water running down roof faces below ridges.

Local Serpentine Expertise
Serpentine's rural-residential character - 47km southeast of Perth CBD amid dense jarrah and marri forest - creates roofing challenges unique to Perth's southern hills fringe. Properties on 2-5 acre lots built from the 1980s through to the 2010s face heavy native canopy coverage, BAL-rated bushfire exposure, and persistent wildlife damage from possums, cockatoos, and nesting birds. At Roof Restorers Perth, we've restored roofs across Serpentine and the wider Shire of Serpentine-Jarrahdale with 15+ years of team experience, specialising in bushland property roofing where ember protection, leaf litter management, and wildlife-proofing are essential.
The result: Roofs that withstand the unique demands of semi-rural living - from bushfire compliance to possum-proof ridge capping - backed by a 15-year Dulux manufacturer warranty on materials.

Benefits of Roof Repointing for Serpentine 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 Serpentine
- 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 Serpentine - FAQs

Why does pointing fail faster in Serpentine than other areas? ▾
Temperature changes from shade and sun, plus constant moisture from canopy. Old cement mortar cracks under movement. Flexible pointing compounds hold better in our conditions.
Is repointing a job I need to do separately from roof restoration? ▾
It's often included in restoration work, but properties with heavy canopy benefit from repointing every 5 to 7 years as maintenance. It's much cheaper than waiting for full restoration.
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
"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!"
"Great experience with this company. Communication was always prompt. Lots of info given about the whole process. Staff were all polite and very efficient. Pricing was competitive. Roof looks fantastic. The guys painted our chimney and whirlybirds too to match as well as our spare tiles for the future just in case. Highly recommend Roof Restorers Perth"
