Ignoring Worn Roof Mortar? You Could Face Costly Damage
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.
Water Leaks & Structural Damage
Cracks in the mortar allow rain to penetrate, leading to ceiling leaks, timber rot in your roof structure, and potentially extensive internal damage.
Expensive Major Repairs
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.
Hidden Pest Infestations
Gaps in mortar are perfect entry points for birds, rodents, and insects, leading to nesting, noise, and potential damage to wiring and insulation.
Professional Repointing: The Smart Solution for Your Roof
Prevent Costly Leaks
Our expert repointing creates a strong, watertight seal on your ridge and hip tiles, stopping water ingress before it causes damage to your home.
Enhance Roof Lifespan
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.
Improved Structural Integrity
Properly pointed ridge capping is essential for holding tiles securely. New flexible pointing ensures your roof can withstand Melbourne’s weather.
Deters Pests and Birds
Sealing the gaps in your ridge capping eliminates easy access points for unwanted visitors, keeping your roof space clean and quiet.

Frequently Asked Questions About Roof Repointing
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.
True Roof provides professional roof repointing services throughout Melbourne, with a strong focus on Truganina and the wider Western Suburbs area.
