True Roof operating Melbourne wide.

Tiles themselves last a long time, but the mortar holding your ridge capping fails. True Roof provides professional roof repointing to restore strength and prevent leaks. Get a watertight seal and protect your home’s structure.
Deteriorating mortar on your roof’s ridge capping is more than just an eyesore. It’s a direct threat to your home’s integrity and can lead to expensive damage if ignored.
Cracked or missing mortar allows water to seep under tiles, causing leaks, timber rot, and costly damage to your ceiling and walls.
Ignoring repointing leads to broken tiles, major leaks, and potential structural issues, resulting in repair bills far higher than proactive maintenance.
Gaps in damaged mortar create easy access for rodents, birds, and insects to enter your roof space, causing noise, mess, and damage.
Our expert repointing creates a durable, waterproof barrier, protecting your home from rain and moisture ingress.
Address mortar issues early to avoid expensive future roof repairs, preventing rot and extending tile lifespan.
Sealing gaps with new mortar blocks entry points, keeping unwanted visitors like birds and rodents out of your roof.
Securely re-bedded and repointed ridge capping reduces the risk of tiles dislodging during high winds.
Getting your roof professionally repointed by True Roof is a straightforward process designed for efficiency and quality:
We conduct a thorough assessment of your ridge capping and mortar to identify areas needing repointing or rebedding.
Loose ridge capping is re-bedded, and new, flexible pointing compound is expertly applied for a strong, lasting seal.
We ensure all work is completed to the highest standard, conduct a final inspection, and leave your property tidy.
Our detailed process ensures your roof is secure and watertight, protecting your home for years to come.
Visual proof speaks volumes. See how True Roof transforms deteriorating mortar into strong, reliable ridge capping.

| Pest Prevention | Effective Barrier | Gaps Often Remain | May Miss Entry Points | Open Invitation for Pests |

We stand behind the quality of our roof repointing services. We guarantee our workmanship and the performance of the flexible pointing compound for up to 7+ years, giving you confidence in your roof’s protection.
With professional installation using quality flexible pointing compound, your roof repointing can last for many years, often exceeding 7 years. This is significantly longer than traditional sand and cement mortar.
If your ridge capping tiles are loose or incorrectly aligned, rebedding (securing them in new mortar) is crucial before repointing. Repointing alone on loose tiles won’t provide a lasting fix. We assess this during the inspection.
Flexible pointing is a modern, durable material used to seal ridge capping. Unlike brittle sand and cement mortar, it flexes slightly with roof movement, preventing cracking and providing a much longer-lasting, watertight seal.
The cost varies depending on the size of your roof, the extent of the damage, and whether rebedding is also needed. Prices typically start from $1200 AUD. We provide a free, no-obligation quote after a thorough inspection.
Don’t wait for small mortar cracks to become major leaks. Protect your home and avoid costly future repairs with professional roof repointing by True Roof.
