True Roof operating Melbourne wide.
Is the mortar on your tile roof cracking or crumbling? Damaged roof pointing is a common problem that can lead to leaks and significant damage if ignored. True Roof provides professional roof repointing services across Melbourne’s Western Suburbs.
Over time, weather and movement cause traditional roof mortar to crack and deteriorate. This isn’t just an aesthetic issue; it leaves your home vulnerable. Ignoring failing ridge capping can lead to serious and costly problems.
Damaged mortar or pointing allows water to penetrate beneath your tiles, causing ceiling damage, structural issues, and rot.
Small cracks that are ignored will inevitably worsen, leading to much larger and more expensive roof repairs down the line.
Roof damage from failed mortar isn’t always visible from the ground, allowing issues to progress unnoticed until they become severe.
Addressing failing mortar early through repointing is far less expensive than repairing water damage, rot, or needing a full roof replacement.
We use advanced flexible pointing compounds that create a durable, watertight seal, protecting your home from Melbourne’s weather.
Our process includes a thorough assessment to identify all areas needing repair, ensuring no hidden damage is missed.
Proper repointing strengthens your ridge capping and mortar bedding, adding years of life to your existing tile roof.
We make restoring your roof’s protection simple and stress-free. Here’s how our professional repointing works:
We inspect your roof’s ridge capping and mortar to assess its condition and provide a clear, no-obligation quote for necessary repointing.
Old, loose mortar is carefully removed. If ridge caps are significantly loose, we re-bed them firmly in fresh sand and cement mortar.
We apply a durable, flexible pointing compound over the ridge caps, sealing and strengthening them against future cracking and leaks.
Our process ensures a strong, lasting repair that protects your home for years.

Approach | Typical Cost | Effectiveness | Longevity | Risk Factor |
---|---|---|---|---|
True Roof Professional Repointing | ~$1200+ | Full Protection & Repair | 7+ Years with Flexible Pointing | Low (Expert Work, Guaranteed) |
Patching Small Cracks Yourself | Low (Materials Only) | Minimal, Often Temporary | Months to 1-2 Years (Prone to Re-cracking) | High (Dangerous, May Cause More Issues) |
Trusting a Handyman | Varies | Depends on Skill (Often Incomplete) | Variable, Often Shorter | Medium (Risk of Untrained Eye Missing Faults) |
Applying Silicone/Sealants | Low | Very Low, Can Block Drainage | Very Short-Term | High (Often Causes New Leaks/Damage) |
Costs are estimates and vary by roof size and condition. Longevity assumes proper application and typical Melbourne weather conditions.
Ignoring mortar issues (doing nothing) is the highest risk approach, leading to maximum future costs.

We stand behind the quality of our roof repointing work. We use durable, flexible pointing compounds and ensure professional application to provide you with a reliable, watertight finish backed by our guarantee of up to 7+ years.
Roof repointing is the process of applying a new layer of mortar or a flexible pointing compound over the ridge capping tiles on a tile roof. This seals the joints and secures the ridge caps, protecting against water penetration and loosening.
The lifespan of roof pointing depends on the material used and exposure to weather. Traditional mortar typically needs repointing every 10-15 years, while modern flexible compounds can last longer. We recommend periodic inspections to check the condition.
While small patch repairs are possible, they are often temporary and can lead to future problems if not done correctly. Professional repointing addresses the entire ridge system using appropriate materials for a lasting, watertight repair.
Flexible pointing is a modern compound specifically designed for ridge capping. Unlike traditional sand/cement mortar, it has elastomeric properties that allow it to flex slightly with roof movement, reducing cracking and improving durability and water resistance.
Don’t wait for minor mortar cracks to become major leaks. Get a professional roof repointing quote from True Roof today and secure your home’s protection for years to come.
