Is Your Roofs Mortar Failing
Over time, the mortar bedding and pointing on your tile roof’s ridge capping can crack and deteriorate. This isnt just a cosmetic issue – it’s a direct threat to your home’s integrity.
Water Leaks & Structural Damage
Cracked or missing mortar allows water to penetrate under the ridge tiles, leading to leaks, timber rot, and potentially extensive damage to your roof structure and ceiling.
Rising Repair Costs
Ignoring worn mortar makes issues worse. What starts as small cracks can lead to major re-bedding work, requiring a complete roof restoration costing significantly more than simple repointing.
Hidden Problems
Its hard to spot failing mortar from the ground. Loose or dislodged ridge tiles pose safety risks during strong winds and gaps can even allow pests like rodents and birds into your roof space.

Frequently Asked Questions About Roof Repointing
Roof repointing involves replacing or repairing the mortar or flexible pointing that holds the ridge tiles (the capping along the peaks of your roof) in place. This is essential for maintaining a watertight seal and securing the tiles.
Look for visible cracks or crumbling mortar on the ridge capping. Loose or slipped ridge tiles are a major sign. Water stains on your ceiling or walls could also indicate mortar failure allowing leaks.
The time depends on your roof size and condition, typically 1-2 days. Costs start from $1200 AUD but vary. We provide a free inspection and detailed quote specific to your needs.
Flexible pointing compound is a modern material used over the bedding mortar. Unlike traditional mortar, it flexes slightly with roof movements caused by temperature changes, preventing cracks and maintaining a durable, watertight seal.
The lifespan of repointing depends on the materials and weather, but it can last 7+ years or more with flexible compounds. Regular roof inspections every 5-10 years are recommended to catch issues early.
Repointing addresses leaks caused by faulty ridge capping mortar or flexible pointing. Leaks can also come from broken tiles, valleys, or flashing issues. A full roof inspection helps identify all necessary common roof repairs.
