Why Choose Us for Roof Repointing in Wellard?
Repointing is renewing all the mortar between tiles, and Wellard homes need this more than average because the clay soils constantly shift. Cracks run through old mortar lines, water seeps in, and the damage spreads. We re-point with flexible mortar designed for reactive clay, so it moves with the house rather than cracking again in a few years. Most Wellard tile roofs built in the early 2000s are due for repointing by now, the original mortar simply wasn't built to handle 20 years of seasonal ground movement. The cost runs from $2,500 to $4,000 for a single-storey home, and it stops leaks before they become costly interior damage.
Clay soil pointing failure is the single most critical issue in Wellard homes. Your roof structure moves, mortar cracks, and water enters. We use flexible polymer-modified mortar rated specifically for reactive clay soils, not standard cement mortar. This is what makes the difference between temporary repairs that fail repeatedly and a fix that actually holds.

Local Wellard Expertise
Wellard sits at the transition point between Perth's established southern suburbs and the newer Kwinana growth corridor, 38km south of the CBD. Developed primarily through the 2000s and 2010s, Wellard grew rapidly from rural land into a residential suburb of several thousand homes, anchored by the Wellard train station and village centre. The suburb retains pockets of rural-residential character alongside modern estates, creating an interesting mix of roofing challenges. Heavy clay soils drive ground movement that cracks mortar and shifts tiles, while the flat terrain and sparse vegetation leave roofs fully exposed to UV radiation. Proximity to the Kwinana industrial area adds airborne particulates to the equation. At Roof Restorers Perth, we have been restoring Wellard roofs with 15+ years of team experience, understanding exactly how this corridor's unique conditions affect different roof types and ages.
Benefits of Roof Repointing for Wellard 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 Wellard
- 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 Wellard - FAQs

What's the difference between repointing and rebedding? ▾
Repointing replaces mortar between tiles on the roof surface. Rebedding replaces mortar in the ridge capping. Both use flexible compound in Wellard because clay soil movement affects both. A full restoration includes repointing of all ridge capping; rebedding is quoted separately.
Can I just patch the cracks in my roof pointing? ▾
Patches fail fast in Wellard because the ground keeps moving. Proper repointing removes old mortar and installs flexible polymer-modified compound that moves with clay soil movement. It's not a quick patch job, it's a structural repair.
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.
