Why Choose Us for Roof Repointing in Shelley?
Repointing is the proper trade term for rebedding, and it's how ridge caps are held down. Your mortar fails fast in Shelley because of the riverside humidity and ground movement. After 40-50 years, the original compound is gone and the caps sit loose, held only by gravity until a storm shifts them. Professional repointing with flexible polymer-modified mortar costs typically $1,500 to $3,200 depending on how much ridge you've got and how far the deterioration has gone. It's essential work on Shelley homes. We use materials rated for high-humidity environments, which matters in a suburb where the moisture never stops attacking the joints.
Repointing restores all mortar joints on your roof, not just ridge caps. Shelley's humidity accelerates breakdown of original sand-cement mortar on entire ridge lines and tile joints. We reassess every 2 years for Shelley properties because moisture cycles cause faster deterioration here than inland suburbs. Complete repointing with modern flexible mortar keeps water out and costs $1,500 to $3,200 depending on roof size.

Benefits of Roof Repointing for Shelley 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 Shelley
- 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? ▾
Rebedding focuses on ridge caps. Repointing is a broader job covering all mortar joints on the roof, including tile edges. Both use modern flexible mortar, but repointing addresses the whole problem. For full tile roofs in Shelley, repointing is often the better solution.
How long does repointing last in Shelley? ▾
New flexible mortar lasts 15 to 20 years if applied properly. But Shelley's humidity means you should monitor condition every 2 to 3 years. Some repairs may be needed if cracks appear sooner, especially on exposed ridge lines facing the Canning River's wind.
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.
What Our Customers Say
"We are very satisfied with the restoration work completed on our tiled roof. Ryan spent the time to look at our roof properly and provide a reasonable quote, along with confidence in the workmanship. The job was done on time, and left in a clean state. The roof difference is brilliant. Highly recommend Ryan and his team they are so professional and helpful."
"I have recently had a full roof restoration completed by this company and I can't recommend them highly enough. The job entailed cleaning the old terracotta coloured clay tiles, replacing damaged ones (I didn't have spares so extras were provided), fixing/replacing ridge capping etc. then sealing and painting to a gorgeous charcoal colour. All for a VERY reasonable price. I am always nervous about engaging tradies for major projects as I have not had much luck in the past. Ryan and Jack at Roof Restorers Perth have completely restored my faith that there are great companies and tradespeople out there. Ryan's communication was spot on, responding promptly to all my emails and questions. Jack, who completed the work over two days, was a delight and went above and beyond with customer service and communication, making sure I was happy with the clean up on both days and also ensuring my neighbours were happy. Nothing was too much trouble for him and I now have a functioning tiled roof that looks incredible."
