Is the mortar on your tile roof crumbling? Protect your home from water leaks and further damage with professional roof repointing services by True Roof. We fix worn mortar and ridge capping using durable flexible pointing compound.
Over time, the mortar holding your roof’s ridge and hip capping tiles can crack and crumble due to weather and movement. This isn’t just an eyesore; it’s a direct threat to your home’s structure and value.
Cracks in the mortar allow rain to penetrate, leading to ceiling leaks, timber rot in your roof structure, and potentially extensive internal damage.
What starts as a small crack quickly worsens. Ignoring minor repointing can lead to the need for full re-bedding or even partial roof replacement, costing thousands more.
Gaps in mortar are perfect entry points for birds, rodents, and insects, leading to nesting, noise, and potential damage to wiring and insulation.
Our expert repointing creates a strong, watertight seal on your ridge and hip tiles, stopping water ingress before it causes damage to your home.
Repointing isn’t just a repair; it’s maintenance that significantly extends the life of your existing tile roof by protecting the bedding and underlying structure.
Properly pointed ridge capping is essential for holding tiles securely. New flexible pointing ensures your roof can withstand Melbourne’s weather.
Sealing the gaps in your ridge capping eliminates easy access points for unwanted visitors, keeping your roof space clean and quiet.
We make getting your roof repointed easy and stress-free. Here’s what to expect:
We start with a thorough inspection of your roof’s ridge and hip capping to assess the condition of the existing mortar and provide a free, no-obligation quote.
Loose and damaged old mortar is carefully removed. If the bedding mortar is also failing, we’ll re-bed the tiles before applying the new pointing.
We apply high-quality, durable flexible pointing compound to all ridge and hip capping, creating a strong, aesthetic, and watertight finish.
Our team ensures a clean worksite and leaves your property tidy upon completion.

Repointing is the process of renewing the external mortar joints on your roof’s ridge and hip capping tiles. This mortar is critical for holding the tiles securely in place and preventing water entry.
The mortar on ridge tiles deteriorates over time due to weather cycles, expansion, and contraction. Cracked or missing mortar allows water to seep under tiles, leading to leaks, timber rot, pest infestations, and potentially dislodged tiles during high winds.
Flexible pointing is a modern, polymer-based compound specifically designed for repointing roof tiles. Unlike traditional sand and cement mortar, it remains slightly flexible, accommodating natural roof movement without cracking. This provides a much more durable and watertight seal.
The duration depends on the size and condition of your roof. Most standard repointing jobs on a residential home can be completed within 1-2 days.
