Dont wait for leaks and damage. Our professional roof repointing service creates a watertight seal to secure your tile roof and prevent costly future repairs.
Roof tiles are durable, but the mortar holding ridge capping in place isn’t. Cracked or crumbling mortar can lead to serious problems for your home.
Damaged or absent mortar allows rain to seep under ridge tiles leading to water leaks damp ceilings and costly internal damage over time.
Ignoring failing mortar means small issues become major roof repairs costing thousands more than proactive repointing.
Often damage isn’t visible from the ground. Missing mortar or loose capping can go unnoticed until significant problems occur.
Preventing leaks and damage with repointing costs far less than extensive roof repairs caused by neglected mortar.
We use flexible pointing compounds that resist cracking unlike traditional rigid mortar providing a lasting seal.
Sealing gaps with new mortar and pointing blocks entry points for rodents birds and insects protecting your roof cavity.
Securely fastened ridge tiles are less likely to dislodge in high winds reducing hazards and potential property damage.
We follow a clear efficient process to ensure your roof is secure and watertight:
We assess the condition of your ridge capping mortar and tiles identifying all areas needing repointing or rebedding.
Old failing mortar is removed. Ridge capping is then rebedded using a strong new sand and cement mix for a solid base.
Finally we apply a flexible pointing compound creating a durable weather-tight seal that accommodates roof movement.
This meticulous approach ensures a long-lasting solution that protects your home.

Over time traditional mortar used on ridge capping deteriorates due to weather and roof movement. This creates gaps allowing water to enter causing leaks and damaging the underlying timber structure. Repointing replaces this old mortar providing a watertight seal and securing the tiles.
When done correctly using high-quality flexible pointing compounds roof repointing can last for many years. Our service comes with a guarantee of up to 7 years providing long-term protection for your roof.
Rebedding is the process of securing ridge capping tiles to the roof using a mortar mix (the bedding). Repointing is applying a secondary layer usually a flexible compound over the bedding to create a watertight seal and provide extra strength. Both are often needed for a complete repair.
The cost varies depending on the size of your roof the extent of the damage and the amount of rebedding required. Prices start from around 1200 AUD. We recommend getting a free detailed quote for an accurate price for your specific roof.
Look for visible cracks or gaps in the mortar along the ridge capping and hips of your roof. Pieces of mortar on the ground around your house are also a clear sign. Internally water stains on ceilings near ridge lines indicate potential leaks.
Dont let failing mortar compromise your home. Get expert roof repointing from True Roof and enjoy lasting protection against leaks and damage.
